Pull ext4 update from Ted Ts'o:
"Lots of bug fixes, cleanups and optimizations. In the bug fixes
category, of note is a fix for on-line resizing file systems where the
block size is smaller than the page size (i.e., file systems 1k blocks
on x86, or more interestingly file systems with 4k blocks on Power or
ia64 systems.)
In the cleanup category, the ext4's punch hole implementation was
significantly improved by Lukas Czerner, and now supports bigalloc
file systems. In addition, Jan Kara significantly cleaned up the
write submission code path. We also improved error checking and added
a few sanity checks.
In the optimizations category, two major optimizations deserve
mention. The first is that ext4_writepages() is now used for
nodelalloc and ext3 compatibility mode. This allows writes to be
submitted much more efficiently as a single bio request, instead of
being sent as individual 4k writes into the block layer (which then
relied on the elevator code to coalesce the requests in the block
queue). Secondly, the extent cache shrink mechanism, which was
introduce in 3.9, no longer has a scalability bottleneck caused by the
i_es_lru spinlock. Other optimizations include some changes to reduce
CPU usage and to avoid issuing empty commits unnecessarily."

Now we maintain an proper in-order LRU list in ext4 to reclaim entries
from extent status tree when we are under heavy memory pressure. For
keeping this order, a spin lock is used to protect this list. But this
lock burns a lot of CPU time. We can use the following steps to trigger
it.
% cd /dev/shm
% dd if=/dev/zero of=ext4-img bs=1M count=2k
% mkfs.ext4 ext4-img
% mount -t ext4 -o loop ext4-img /mnt
% cd /mnt
% for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do truncate -s 64g $i; done
% for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do cp $i /dev/null &; done
% perf record -a -g
% perf report
This commit tries to fix this problem. Now a new member called
i_touch_when is added into ext4_inode_info to record the last access
time for an inode. Meanwhile we never need to keep a proper in-order
LRU list. So this can avoid to burns some CPU time. When we try to
reclaim some entries from extent status tree, we use list_sort() to get
a proper in-order list. Then we traverse this list to discard some
entries. In ext4_sb_info, we use s_es_last_sorted to record the last
time of sorting this list. When we traverse the list, we skip the inode
that is newer than this time, and move this inode to the tail of LRU
list. When the head of the list is newer than s_es_last_sorted, we will
sort the LRU list again.
In this commit, we break the loop if s_extent_cache_cnt == 0 because
that means that all extents in extent status tree have been reclaimed.
Meanwhile in this commit, ext4_es_{un}register_shrinker()'s prototype is
changed to save a local variable in these functions.

Now that we clear PageWriteback after extent conversion, there's no
need to wait for io_end processing in ext4_evict_inode(). Running
AIO/DIO keeps file reference until aio_complete() is called so
ext4_evict_inode() cannot be called. For io_end structures resulting
from buffered IO waiting is happening because we wait for
PageWriteback in truncate_inode_pages().

We don't have to wait for extent conversion in ext4_punch_hole() as
buffered IO for the punched range has been flushed and waited upon
(thus all extent conversions for that range have completed). Also we
wait for all DIO to finish using inode_dio_wait() so there cannot be
any extent conversions pending due to direct IO.
Also remove ext4_flush_unwritten_io() since it's unused now.

Currently PageWriteback bit gets cleared from put_io_page() called
from ext4_end_bio(). This is somewhat inconvenient as extent tree is
not fully updated at that time (unwritten extents are not marked as
written) so we cannot read the data back yet. This design was
dictated by lock ordering as we cannot start a transaction while
PageWriteback bit is set (we could easily deadlock with
ext4_da_writepages()). But now that we use transaction reservation
for extent conversion, locking issues are solved and we can move
PageWriteback bit clearing after extent conversion is done. As a
result we can remove wait for unwritten extent conversion from
ext4_sync_file() because it already implicitely happens through
wait_on_page_writeback().
We implement deferring of PageWriteback clearing by queueing completed
bios to appropriate io_end and processing all the pages when io_end is
going to be freed instead of at the moment ext4_io_end() is called.

Now that we have extent conversions with reserved transaction, we have
to prevent extent conversions without reserved transaction (from DIO
code) to block these (as that would effectively void any transaction
reservation we did). So split lists, work items, and work queues to
reserved and unreserved parts.

Later we would like to clear PageWriteback bit only after extent
conversion from unwritten to written extents is performed. However it
is not possible to start a transaction after PageWriteback is set
because that violates lock ordering (and is easy to deadlock). So we
have to reserve a transaction before locking pages and sending them
for IO and later we use the transaction for extent conversion from
ext4_end_io().

There are two issues with current writeback path in ext4. For one we
don't necessarily map complete pages when blocksize < pagesize and
thus needn't do any writeback in one iteration. We always map some
blocks though so we will eventually finish mapping the page. Just if
writeback races with other operations on the file, forward progress is
not really guaranteed. The second problem is that current code
structure makes it hard to associate all the bios to some range of
pages with one io_end structure so that unwritten extents can be
converted after all the bios are finished. This will be especially
difficult later when io_end will be associated with reserved
transaction handle.
We restructure the writeback path to a relatively simple loop which
first prepares extent of pages, then maps one or more extents so that
no page is partially mapped, and once page is fully mapped it is
submitted for IO. We keep all the mapping and IO submission
information in mpage_da_data structure to somewhat reduce stack usage.
Resulting code is somewhat shorter than the old one and hopefully also
easier to read.

We limit the number of blocks written in a single loop of
ext4_da_writepages() to 64 when inode uses indirect blocks. That is
unnecessary as credit estimates for mapping logically continguous run
of blocks is rather low even for inode with indirect blocks. So just
lift this limitation and properly calculate the number of necessary
credits.
This better credit estimate will also later allow us to always write
at least a single page in one iteration.

ext4_ind_trans_blocks() wrongly used 'chunk' argument to decide whether
blocks mapped are logically contiguous. That is wrong since the argument
informs whether the blocks are physically contiguous. As the blocks
mapped are always logically contiguous and that's all
ext4_ind_trans_blocks() cares about, just remove the 'chunk' argument.

We're doing to get rid of ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers() since it is
duplicating some code and also partially duplicating work of
truncate_pagecache_range(), moreover the old implementation was much
clearer.
Now when the truncate_inode_pages_range() can handle truncating non page
aligned regions we can use this to invalidate and zero out block aligned
region of the punched out range and then use ext4_block_truncate_page()
to zero the unaligned blocks on the start and end of the range. This
will greatly simplify the punch hole code. Moreover after this commit we
can get rid of the ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers() completely.
We also introduce function ext4_prepare_punch_hole() to do come common
operations before we attempt to do the actual punch hole on
indirect or extent file which saves us some code duplication.
This has been tested on ppc64 with 1k block size with fsx and xfstests
without any problems.

Zach reported a problem that if inline data is enabled, we don't
tell the difference between the offset of '.' and '..'. And a
getdents will fail if the user only want to get '.' and what's worse,
if there is a conversion happens when the user calls getdents
many times, he/she may get the same entry twice.
In theory, a dir block would also fail if it is converted to a
hashed-index based dir since f_pos will become a hash value, not the
real one, but it doesn't happen. And a deep investigation shows that
we uses a hash based solution even for a normal dir if the dir_index
feature is enabled.
So this patch just adds a new htree_inlinedir_to_tree for inline dir,
and if we find that the hash index is supported, we will do like what
we do for a dir block.

So far ext4_bio_write_page() attached all the pages to ext4_io_end
structure. This makes that structure pretty heavy (1 KB for pointers
+ 16 bytes per page attached to the bio). Also later we would like to
share ext4_io_end structure among several bios in case IO to a single
extent needs to be split among several bios and pointing to pages from
ext4_io_end makes this complex.
We remove page pointers from ext4_io_end and use pointers from bio
itself instead. This isn't as easy when blocksize < pagesize because
then we can have several bios in flight for a single page and we have
to be careful when to call end_page_writeback(). However this is a
known problem already solved by block_write_full_page() /
end_buffer_async_write() so we mimic its behavior here. We mark
buffers going to disk with BH_Async_Write flag and in
ext4_bio_end_io() we check whether there are any buffers with
BH_Async_Write flag left. If there are not, we can call
end_page_writeback().

Currently in ENOSPC condition when writing into unwritten space, or
punching a hole, we might need to split the extent and grow extent tree.
However since we can not allocate any new metadata blocks we'll have to
zero out unwritten part of extent or punched out part of extent, or in
the worst case return ENOSPC even though use actually does not allocate
any space.
Also in delalloc path we do reserve metadata and data blocks for the
time we're going to write out, however metadata block reservation is
very tricky especially since we expect that logical connectivity implies
physical connectivity, however that might not be the case and hence we
might end up allocating more metadata blocks than previously reserved.
So in future, metadata reservation checks should be removed since we can
not assure that we do not under reserve.
And this is where reserved space comes into the picture. When mounting
the file system we slice off a little bit of the file system space (2%
or 4096 clusters, whichever is smaller) which can be then used for the
cases mentioned above to prevent costly zeroout, or unexpected ENOSPC.
The number of reserved clusters can be set via sysfs, however it can
never be bigger than number of free clusters in the file system.
Note that this patch fixes the failure of xfstest 274 as expected.

Add a new ioctl, EXT4_IOC_SWAP_BOOT which swaps i_blocks and
associated attributes (like i_blocks, i_size, i_flags, ...) from the
specified inode with inode EXT4_BOOT_LOADER_INO (#5). This is
typically used to store a boot loader in a secure part of the
filesystem, where it can't be changed by a normal user by accident.
The data blocks of the previous boot loader will be associated with
the given inode.
This usercode program is a simple example of the usage:
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int fd;
int err;
if ( argc != 2 ) {

This patch introduces ext4_get_group_number() which computes block

Currently in when getting the block group number for a particular
block in ext4_block_in_group() we're using
ext4_get_group_no_and_offset() which uses do_div() to get the block
group and the remainer which is offset within the group.
We don't need all of that in ext4_block_in_group() as we only need to
figure out the group number.
This commit changes ext4_block_in_group() to calculate group number
directly. This shows as a big improvement with regards to cpu
utilization. Measuring fallocate -l 15T on fresh file system with perf
showed that 23% of cpu time was spend in the
ext4_get_group_no_and_offset(). With this change it completely
disappears from the list only bumping the occurrence of
ext4_init_block_bitmap() which is the biggest user of
ext4_block_in_group() by 4%. As the result of this change on my system
the fallocate call was approx. 10% faster.
However since there is '-g' option in mkfs which allow us setting
different groups size (mostly for developers) I've introduced new per
file system flag whether we have a standard block group size or
not. The flag is used to determine whether we can use the bit shift
optimization or not.

In order to make it simpler to test the code which support

which are less than 12 blocks and which are contained in no more than
a single extent.
The primary intended use of this code is to converting freshly created
zero-length files and empty directories.
Note that the version of chattr in e2fsprogs 1.42.7 and earlier has a
check that prevents the clearing of the extent flag. A simple patch

Move common code in ext4_ind_punch_hole() and ext4_ext_punch_hole()
into ext4_punch_hole(). This saves over 150 lines of code.
This also fixes a potential bug when the punch_hole() code is racing
against indirect-to-extents or extents-to-indirect migation. We are
currently using i_mutex to protect against changes to the inode flag;
specifically, the append-only, immutable, and extents inode flags. So
we need to take i_mutex before deciding whether to use the
extents-specific or indirect-specific punch_hole code.
Also, there was a missing call to ext4_inode_block_unlocked_dio() in
the indirect punch codepath. This was added in commit 02d262dffcf4c
to block DIO readers racing against the punch operation in the
codepath for extent-mapped inodes, but it was missing for
indirect-block mapped inodes. One of the advantages of refactoring
the code is that it makes such oversights much less likely.

Commit 84c17543ab56 (ext4: move work from io_end to inode) triggered a
regression when running xfstest #270 when the file system is mounted
with dioread_nolock.
The problem is that after ext4_evict_inode() calls ext4_ioend_wait(),
this guarantees that last io_end structure has been freed, but it does
not guarantee that the workqueue structure, which was moved into the
inode by commit 84c17543ab56, is actually finished. Once
ext4_flush_completed_IO() calls ext4_free_io_end() on CPU #1, this
will allow ext4_ioend_wait() to return on CPU #2, at which point the
evict_inode() codepath can race against the workqueue code on CPU #1
accessing EXT4_I(inode)->i_unwritten_work to find the next item of
work to do.
Fix this by calling cancel_work_sync() in ext4_ioend_wait(), which
will be renamed ext4_ioend_shutdown(), since it is only used by
ext4_evict_inode(). Also, move the call to ext4_ioend_shutdown()
until after truncate_inode_pages() and filemap_write_and_wait() are
called, to make sure all dirty pages have been written back and
flushed from the page cache first.

A user who was using a 8TB+ file system and with a very large flexbg
size (> 65536) could cause the atomic_t used in the struct flex_groups
to overflow. This was detected by PaX security patchset:
http://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3289&p=12551#p12551
This bug was introduced in commit 9f24e4208f7e, so it's been around
since 2.6.30. :-(
Fix this by using an atomic64_t for struct orlav_stats's
free_clusters.

Use a percpu counter rather than atomic types for shrinker accounting.
There's no need for ultimate accuracy in the shrinker, so this
should come a little more cheaply. The percpu struct is somewhat
large, but there was a big gap before the cache-aligned
s_es_lru_lock anyway, and it fits nicely in there.

When the system is under memory pressure, ext4_es_srhink() will get
called very often. So optimize returning the number of items in the
file system's extent status cache by keeping a per-filesystem count,
instead of calculating it each time by scanning all of the inodes in
the extent status cache.
Also rename the slab used for the extent status cache to be
"ext4_extent_status" so it's obviousl the slab in question is created
by ext4.

Although extent status is loaded on-demand, we also need to reclaim
extent from the tree when we are under a heavy memory pressure because
in some cases fragmented extent tree causes status tree costs too much
memory.
Here we maintain a lru list in super_block. When the extent status of
an inode is accessed and changed, this inode will be move to the tail
of the list. The inode will be dropped from this list when it is
cleared. In the inode, a counter is added to count the number of
cached objects in extent status tree. Here only written/unwritten/hole
extent is counted because delayed extent doesn't be reclaimed due to
fiemap, bigalloc and seek_data/hole need it. The counter will be
increased as a new extent is allocated, and it will be decreased as a
extent is freed.
In this commit we use normal shrinker framework to reclaim memory from
the status tree. ext4_es_reclaim_extents_count() traverses the lru list
to count the number of reclaimable extents. ext4_es_shrink() tries to
reclaim written/unwritten/hole extents from extent status tree. The
inode that has been shrunk is moved to the tail of lru list.

After tracking all extent status, we already have a extent cache in
memory. Every time we want to lookup a block mapping, we can first
try to lookup it in extent status tree to avoid a potential disk I/O.
A new function called ext4_es_lookup_extent is defined to finish this
work. When we try to lookup a block mapping, we always call
ext4_map_blocks and/or ext4_da_map_blocks. So in these functions we
first try to lookup a block mapping in extent status tree.
A new flag EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_NO_PUT_HOLE is used in ext4_da_map_blocks
in order not to put a hole into extent status tree because this hole
will be converted to delayed extent in the tree immediately.

By recording the phycisal block and status, extent status tree is able
to track the status of every extents. When we call _map_blocks
functions to lookup an extent or create a new written/unwritten/delayed
extent, this extent will be inserted into extent status tree.
We don't load all extents from disk in alloc_inode() because it costs
too much memory, and if a file is opened and closed frequently it will
takes too much time to load all extent information. So currently when
we create/lookup an extent, this extent will be inserted into extent
status tree. Hence, the extent status tree may not comprehensively
contain all of the extents found in the file.
Here a condition we need to take care is that an extent might contains
unwritten and delayed status simultaneously because an extent is delayed
allocated and could be allocated by fallocate. At this time we need to
keep delayed status because later we need to update delayed reservation
space using it.

In ext4_{create,mknod,mkdir,symlink}(), don't start the journal handle
until the inode has been succesfully allocated. In order to do this,
we need to start the handle in the ext4_new_inode(). So create a new
variant of this function, ext4_new_inode_start_handle(), so the handle
can be created at the last possible minute, before we need to modify
the inode allocation bitmap block.

Operations which modify extended attributes may need extra journal
credits if inline data is used, since there is a chance that some
extended attributes may need to get pushed to an external attribute
block.
Changes to reflect this was made in xattr.c, but they were missed in
fs/ext4/acl.c. To fix this, abstract the calculation of the number of
credits needed for xattr operations to an inline function defined in
ext4_jbd2.h, and use it in acl.c and xattr.c.
Also move the function declarations used in inline.c from xattr.h
(where they are non-obviously hidden, and caused problems since
ext4_jbd2.h needs to use the function ext4_has_inline_data), and move
them to ext4.h.

It does not make much sense to have struct work in ext4_io_end_t
because we always use it for only one ext4_io_end_t per inode (the
first one in the i_completed_io list). So just move the structure to
inode itself. This also allows for a small simplification in
processing io_end structures.

Currently we sometimes used block_write_full_page() and sometimes
ext4_bio_write_page() for writeback (depending on mount options and call
path). Let's always use ext4_bio_write_page() to simplify things a bit.

This patch add supports for indirect file support punching hole. It
is almost the same as ext4_ext_punch_hole. First, we invalidate all
pages between this hole, and then we try to deallocate all blocks of
this hole.
A recursive function is used to handle deallocation of blocks. In
this function, it iterates over the entries in inode's i_blocks or
indirect blocks, and try to free the block for each one of them.
After applying this patch, xfstest #255 will not pass w/o extent because
indirect-based file doesn't support unwritten extents.

Pull ext4 update from Ted Ts'o:
"There are two major features for this merge window. The first is
inline data, which allows small files or directories to be stored in
the in-inode extended attribute area. (This requires that the file
system use inodes which are at least 256 bytes or larger; 128 byte
inodes do not have any room for in-inode xattrs.)
The second new feature is SEEK_HOLE/SEEK_DATA support. This is
enabled by the extent status tree patches, and this infrastructure
will be used to further optimize ext4 in the future.
Beyond that, we have the usual collection of code cleanups and bug
fixes."

Flags being used by atomic operations in inode flags (e.g.
ext4_test_inode_flag(), should be consistent with that actually stored
in inodes, i.e.: EXT4_XXX_FL.
It ensures that this consistency is checked at build-time, not at
run-time.
Currently, the flags consistency are being checked at run-time, but,
there is no real reason to not do a build-time check instead of a
run-time check. The code is comparing macro defined values with enum
type variables, where both are constants, so, there is no problem in
comparing constants at build-time.
enum variables are treated as constants by the C compiler, according
to the C99 specs (see www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/n1124.pdf
sec. 6.2.5, item 16), so, there is no real problem in comparing an
enumeration type at build time
