For some reason, when we set the mount option "init_itable=0" it
behaves as we would set init_itable=20 which is not right at all.
Basically when we set it to zero we are saying to lazyinit thread not
to wait between zeroing the inode table (except of cond_resched()) so
this commit fixes that and removes the unnecessary condition. The 'n'
should be also properly used on remount.
When the n is not set at all, it means that the default miltiplier
EXT4_DEF_LI_WAIT_MULT is set instead.

In order to make lazyinit eat approx. 10% of io bandwidth at max, we
are sleeping between zeroing each single inode table. For that purpose
we are using timer which wakes up thread when it expires. It is set
via add_timer() and this may cause troubles in the case that thread
has been woken up earlier and in next iteration we call add_timer() on
still running timer hence hitting BUG_ON in add_timer(). We could fix
that by using mod_timer() instead however we can use
schedule_timeout_interruptible() for waiting and hence simplifying
things a lot.
This commit exchange the old "waiting mechanism" with simple
schedule_timeout_interruptible(), setting the time to sleep. Hence we
do not longer need li_wait_daemon waiting queue and others, so get rid
of it.

Provide better emulation for ext[23] mode by enforcing that the file
system does not have any unsupported file system features as defined
by ext[23] when emulating the ext[23] file system driver when
CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23 is defined.
This causes the file system type information in /proc/mounts to be
correct for the automatically mounted root file system. This also
means that "mount -t ext2 /dev/sda /mnt" will fail if /dev/sda

There's no good reason to require the extra step of providing

For now I've removed default mount option checks in show_options()

ext4 has a data corruption case when doing non-block-aligned
asynchronous direct IO into a sparse file, as demonstrated
by xfstest 240.
The root cause is that while ext4 preallocates space in the
hole, mappings of that space still look "new" and
dio_zero_block() will zero out the unwritten portions. When
more than one AIO thread is going, they both find this "new"
block and race to zero out their portion; this is uncoordinated
and causes data corruption.
Dave Chinner fixed this for xfs by simply serializing all
unaligned asynchronous direct IO. I've done the same here.
The difference is that we only wait on conversions, not all IO.
This is a very big hammer, and I'm not very pleased with
stuffing this into ext4_file_write(). But since ext4 is
DIO_LOCKING, we need to serialize it at this high level.
I tried to move this into ext4_ext_direct_IO, but by then
we have the i_mutex already, and we will wait on the
work queue to do conversions - which must also take the
i_mutex. So that won't work.
This was originally exposed by qemu-kvm installing to
a raw disk image with a normal sector-63 alignment. I've
tested a backport of this patch with qemu, and it does
avoid the corruption. It is also quite a lot slower
(14 min for package installs, vs. 8 min for well-aligned)
but I'll take slow correctness over fast corruption any day.
Mingming suggested that we can track outstanding
conversions, and wait on those so that non-sparse
files won't be affected, and I've implemented that here;
unaligned AIO to nonsparse files won't take a perf hit.

As Al Viro pointed out path resolution during Q_QUOTAON calls to quotactl
is prone to deadlocks. We hold s_umount semaphore for reading during the
path resolution and resolution itself may need to acquire the semaphore
for writing when e. g. autofs mountpoint is passed.
Solve the problem by performing the resolution before we get hold of the
superblock (and thus s_umount semaphore). The whole thing is complicated
by the fact that some filesystems (OCFS2) ignore the path argument. So to
distinguish between filesystem which want the path and which do not we
introduce new .quota_on_meta callback which does not get the path. OCFS2
then uses this callback instead of old .quota_on.

RCU free the struct inode. This will allow:
- Subsequent store-free path walking patch. The inode must be consulted for
permissions when walking, so an RCU inode reference is a must.
- sb_inode_list_lock to be moved inside i_lock because sb list walkers who want
to take i_lock no longer need to take sb_inode_list_lock to walk the list in
the first place. This will simplify and optimize locking.
- Could remove some nested trylock loops in dcache code
- Could potentially simplify things a bit in VM land. Do not need to take the
page lock to follow page->mapping.
The downsides of this is the performance cost of using RCU. In a simple
creat/unlink microbenchmark, performance drops by about 10% due to inability to
reuse cache-hot slab objects. As iterations increase and RCU freeing starts
kicking over, this increases to about 20%.
In cases where inode lifetimes are longer (ie. many inodes may be allocated
during the average life span of a single inode), a lot of this cache reuse is
not applicable, so the regression caused by this patch is smaller.
The cache-hot regression could largely be avoided by using SLAB_DESTROY_BY_RCU,
however this adds some complexity to list walking and store-free path walking,
so I prefer to implement this at a later date, if it is shown to be a win in
real situations. I haven't found a regression in any non-micro benchmark so I
doubt it will be a problem.

Jon Nelson has found a test case which causes postgresql to fail with
the error:
psql:t.sql:4: ERROR: invalid page header in block 38269 of relation base/16384/16581
Under memory pressure, it looks like part of a file can end up getting
replaced by zero's. Until we can figure out the cause, we'll roll
back the change and use block_write_full_page() instead of
ext4_bio_write_page(). The new, more efficient writing function can
be used via the mount option mblk_io_submit, so we can test and fix
the new page I/O code.
To reproduce the problem, install postgres 8.4 or 9.0, and pin enough
memory such that the system just at the end of triggering writeback
before running the following sql script:
begin;
create temporary table foo as select x as a, ARRAY[x] as b FROM
generate_series(1, 10000000 ) AS x;
create index foo_a_idx on foo (a);
create index foo_b_idx on foo USING GIN (b);
rollback;
If the temporary table is created on a hard drive partition which is
encrypted using dm_crypt, then under memory pressure, approximately
30-40% of the time, pgsql will issue the above failure.
This patch should fix this problem, and the problem will come back if
the file system is mounted with the mblk_io_submit mount option.

At the start of ext4_fill_super, ret is set to -EINVAL, and any failure path
out of that function returns ret. However, the generic_check_addressable
clause sets ret = 0 (if it passes), which means that a subsequent failure (e.g.
a group checksum error) returns 0 even though the mount should fail. This
causes vfs_kern_mount in turn to think that the mount succeeded, leading to an
oops.

After recent blkdev_get() modifications, open_by_devnum() and
open_bdev_exclusive() are simple wrappers around blkdev_get().
Replace them with blkdev_get_by_dev() and blkdev_get_by_path().
blkdev_get_by_dev() is identical to open_by_devnum().
blkdev_get_by_path() is slightly different in that it doesn't
automatically add %FMODE_EXCL to @mode.
All users are converted. Most conversions are mechanical and don't
introduce any behavior difference. There are several exceptions.
* btrfs now sets FMODE_EXCL in btrfs_device->mode, so there's no
reason to OR it explicitly on blkdev_put().
* gfs2, nilfs2 and the generic mount_bdev() now set FMODE_EXCL in
sb->s_mode.
* With the above changes, sb->s_mode now always should contain
FMODE_EXCL. WARN_ON_ONCE() added to kill_block_super() to detect
errors.
The new blkdev_get_*() functions are with proper docbook comments.
While at it, add function description to blkdev_get() too.

Over time, block layer has accumulated a set of APIs dealing with bdev
open, close, claim and release.
* blkdev_get/put() are the primary open and close functions.
* bd_claim/release() deal with exclusive open.
* open/close_bdev_exclusive() are combination of open and claim and
the other way around, respectively.
* bd_link/unlink_disk_holder() to create and remove holder/slave
symlinks.
* open_by_devnum() wraps bdget() + blkdev_get().
The interface is a bit confusing and the decoupling of open and claim
makes it impossible to properly guarantee exclusive access as
in-kernel open + claim sequence can disturb the existing exclusive
open even before the block layer knows the current open if for another
exclusive access. Reorganize the interface such that,
* blkdev_get() is extended to include exclusive access management.
@holder argument is added and, if is @FMODE_EXCL specified, it will
gain exclusive access atomically w.r.t. other exclusive accesses.
* blkdev_put() is similarly extended. It now takes @mode argument and
if @FMODE_EXCL is set, it releases an exclusive access. Also, when
the last exclusive claim is released, the holder/slave symlinks are
removed automatically.
* bd_claim/release() and close_bdev_exclusive() are no longer
necessary and either made static or removed.
* bd_link_disk_holder() remains the same but bd_unlink_disk_holder()
is no longer necessary and removed.
* open_bdev_exclusive() becomes a simple wrapper around lookup_bdev()
and blkdev_get(). It also has an unexpected extra bdev_read_only()
test which probably should be moved into blkdev_get().
* open_by_devnum() is modified to take @holder argument and pass it to
blkdev_get().
Most of bdev open/close operations are unified into blkdev_get/put()
and most exclusive accesses are tested atomically at the open time (as
it should). This cleans up code and removes some, both valid and
invalid, but unnecessary all the same, corner cases.
open_bdev_exclusive() and open_by_devnum() can use further cleanup -
rename to blkdev_get_by_path() and blkdev_get_by_devt() and drop
special features. Well, let's leave them for another day.
Most conversions are straight-forward. drbd conversion is a bit more
involved as there was some reordering, but the logic should stay the
same.

The following BUG can occur when an inode which is getting freed when
it still has dirty pages outstanding, and it gets deleted (in this
because it was the target of a rename). In ordered mode, we need to
make sure the data pages are written just in case we crash before the
rename (or unlink) is committed. If the inode is being freed then
when we try to igrab the inode, we end up tripping the BUG_ON at
fs/ext4/page-io.c:146.
To solve this problem, we need to keep track of the number of io
callbacks which are pending, and avoid destroying the inode until they
have all been completed. That way we don't have to bump the inode
count to keep the inode from being destroyed; an approach which
doesn't work because the count could have already been dropped down to
zero before the inode writeback has started (at which point we're not
allowed to bump the count back up to 1, since it's already started
getting freed).
Thanks to Dave Chinner for suggesting this approach, which is also
used by XFS.

Commit 84061e0 fixed an accounting bug only to introduce the
possibility of a kernel OOPS if the journal has a non-zero j_errno
field indicating that the file system had detected a fs inconsistency.
After the journal replay, if the journal superblock indicates that the
file system has an error, this indication is transfered to the file
system and then ext4_commit_super() is called to write this to the
disk.
But since the percpu counters are now initialized after the journal
replay, the call to ext4_commit_super() will cause a kernel oops since
it needs to use the percpu counters the ext4 superblock structure.
The fix is to skip setting the ext4 free block and free inode fields
if the percpu counter has not been set.

this bug.

Walk through allocation groups and trim all free extents. It can be

It search for free extents in allocation groups specified by Byte range
start -> start+len. When the free extent is within this range, blocks
are marked as used and then trimmed. Afterwards these blocks are marked
as free in per-group bitmap.
Since fstrim is a long operation it is good to have an ability to
interrupt it by a signal. This was added by Dmitry Monakhov.

An ext4 filesystem on a read-only device, with an external journal
which is at a different device number then recorded in the superblock
will fail to honor the read-only setting of the device and trigger
a superblock update (write).
For example:
- ext4 on a software raid which is in read-only mode
- external journal on a read-write device which has changed device num
- attempt to mount with -o journal_dev=<new_number>
- hits BUG_ON(mddev->ro = 1) in md.c

User-space should have the opportunity to check what features doest ext4
support in each particular copy. This adds easy interface by creating new
"features" directory in sys/fs/ext4/. In that directory files

Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com>
Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
When the lazy_itable_init extended option is passed to mke2fs, it
considerably speeds up filesystem creation because inode tables are
not zeroed out. The fact that parts of the inode table are
uninitialized is not a problem so long as the block group descriptors,
which contain information regarding how much of the inode table has
been initialized, has not been corrupted However, if the block group
checksums are not valid, e2fsck must scan the entire inode table, and
the the old, uninitialized data could potentially cause e2fsck to
report false problems.
Hence, it is important for the inode tables to be initialized as soon
as possble. This commit adds this feature so that mke2fs can safely
use the lazy inode table initialization feature to speed up formatting
file systems.
This is done via a new new kernel thread called ext4lazyinit, which is
created on demand and destroyed, when it is no longer needed. There
is only one thread for all ext4 filesystems in the system. When the
first filesystem with inititable mount option is mounted, ext4lazyinit
thread is created, then the filesystem can register its request in the
request list.
This thread then walks through the list of requests picking up
scheduled requests and invoking ext4_init_inode_table(). Next schedule
time for the request is computed by multiplying the time it took to
zero out last inode table with wait multiplier, which can be set with
the (init_itable=n) mount option (default is 10). We are doing
this so we do not take the whole I/O bandwidth. When the thread is no
longer necessary (request list is empty) it frees the appropriate
structures and exits (and can be created later later by another
filesystem).
We do not disturb regular inode allocations in any way, it just do not
care whether the inode table is, or is not zeroed. But when zeroing, we
have to skip used inodes, obviously. Also we should prevent new inode
allocations from the group, while zeroing is on the way. For that we
take write alloc_sem lock in ext4_init_inode_table() and read alloc_sem
in the ext4_claim_inode, so when we are unlucky and allocator hits the
group which is currently being zeroed, it just has to wait.
This can be suppresed using the mount option no_init_itable.

This patch is a preparation necessary to remove the BKL from do_new_mount().
It explicitly adds calls to lock_kernel()/unlock_kernel() around
get_sb/fill_super operations for filesystems that still uses the BKL.
I've read through all the code formerly covered by the BKL inside
do_kern_mount() and have satisfied myself that it doesn't need the BKL
any more.
do_kern_mount() is already called without the BKL when mounting the rootfs
and in nfsctl. do_kern_mount() calls vfs_kern_mount(), which is called
from various places without BKL: simple_pin_fs(), nfs_do_clone_mount()
through nfs_follow_mountpoint(), afs_mntpt_do_automount() through
afs_mntpt_follow_link(). Both later functions are actually the filesystems
follow_link inode operation. vfs_kern_mount() is calling the specified
get_sb function and lets the filesystem do its job by calling the given
fill_super function.
Therefore I think it is safe to push down the BKL from the VFS to the
low-level filesystems get_sb/fill_super operation.

Commit 6b0310fbf0 caused a regression resulting in deadlocks

Changing the test to FREEZE_TRANS should let the normal freeze
syncing get through the fs, but still block any transactions from
starting once the fs is completely frozen.
I tested this by running fsstress in the background while periodically
snapshotting the fs and running fsck on the result. I ran into
occasional deadlocks, but different ones. I think this is a
fine fix for the problem at hand, and the other deadlocky things

At several places we modify EXT4_I(inode)->i_flags without holding
i_mutex (ext4_do_update_inode, ...). These modifications are racy and
we can lose updates to i_flags. So convert handling of i_flags to use
bitops which are atomic.

Constify struct sysfs_ops.
This is part of the ops structure constification
effort started by Arjan van de Ven et al.
Benefits of this constification:
* prevents modification of data that is shared
(referenced) by many other structure instances
at runtime
* detects/prevents accidental (but not intentional)
modification attempts on archs that enforce
read-only kernel data at runtime
* potentially better optimized code as the compiler
can assume that the const data cannot be changed
* the compiler/linker move const data into .rodata
and therefore exclude them from false sharing

In the past, ext4_calc_metadata_amount(), and its sub-functions
ext4_ext_calc_metadata_amount() and ext4_indirect_calc_metadata_amount()
badly over-estimated the number of metadata blocks that might be
required for delayed allocation blocks. This didn't matter as much
when functions which managed the reserved metadata blocks were more
aggressive about dropping reserved metadata blocks as delayed
allocation blocks were written, but unfortunately they were too
aggressive. This was fixed in commit 0637c6f, but as a result the
over-estimation by ext4_calc_metadata_amount() would lead to reserving
2-3 times the number of pending delayed allocation blocks as
potentially required metadata blocks. So if there are 1 megabytes of
blocks which have been not yet been allocation, up to 3 megabytes of
space would get reserved out of the user's quota and from the file
system free space pool until all of the inode's data blocks have been
allocated.
This commit addresses this problem by much more accurately estimating
the number of metadata blocks that will be required. It will still
somewhat over-estimate the number of blocks needed, since it must make
a worst case estimate not knowing which physical blocks will be
needed, but it is much more accurate than before.

We have 2 mount options, "barrier" and "auto_da_alloc" which may or
may not take a 1/0 argument. This causes the ext4 superblock mount
code to subtract uninitialized pointers and pass the result to
kmalloc, which results in very noisy failures.
Per Ted's suggestion, initialize the args struct so that
we know whether match_token() found an argument for the
option, and skip match_int() if not.
Also, return error (0) from parse_options if we thought
we found an argument, but match_int() Fails.

There is a potential race when a transaction is committing right when
the file system is being umounting. This could reduce in a race
because EXT4_SB(sb)->s_group_info could be freed in ext4_put_super
before the commit code calls a callback so the mballoc code can
release freed blocks in the transaction, resulting in a panic trying
to access the freed s_group_info.
The fix is to wait for the transaction to finish committing before we

This reverts commit d0646f7b63, as
requested by Eric Sandeen.
It can basically cause an ext4 filesystem to miss recovery (and thus get
mounted with errors) if the journal checksum does not match.
Quoth Eric:
"My hand-wavy hunch about what is happening is that we're finding a
bad checksum on the last partially-written transaction, which is
not surprising, but if we have a wrapped log and we're doing the
initial scan for head/tail, and we abort scanning on that bad
checksum, then we are essentially running an unrecovered filesystem.
But that's hand-wavy and I need to go look at the code.
We lived without journal checksums on by default until now, and at
this point they're doing more harm than good, so we should revert
the default-changing commit until we can fix it and do some good
power-fail testing with the fixes in place."
