Pull vfs pile (part one) from Al Viro:
"Assorted stuff - cleaning namei.c up a bit, fixing ->d_name/->d_parent
locking violations, etc.
The most visible changes here are death of FS_REVAL_DOT (replaced with
"has ->d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file
to inode. Some bits of preparation to xattr method interface changes.
Misc patches by various people sent this cycle *and* ocfs2 fixes from

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.

This commit refines the extent status tree code.
1) A prefix 'es_' is added to to the extent status tree structure
members.
2) Refactored es_remove_extent() so that __es_remove_extent() can be
used by es_insert_extent() to remove the old extent entry(-ies) before
inserting a new one.
3) Rename extent_status_end() to ext4_es_end()
4) ext4_es_can_be_merged() is define to check whether two extents can
be merged or not.
5) Update and clarified comments.

So we can better understand what bits of ext4 are responsible for
long-running jbd2 handles, use jbd2__journal_start() so we can pass
context information for logging purposes.
The recommended way for finding the longer-running handles is:
T=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
EVENT=$T/events/jbd2/jbd2_handle_stats
echo "interval > 5" > $EVENT/filter
echo 1 > $EVENT/enable
./run-my-fs-benchmark
cat $T/trace > /tmp/problem-handles
This will list handles that were active for longer than 20ms. Having
longer-running handles is bad, because a commit started at the wrong
time could stall for those 20+ milliseconds, which could delay an
fsync() or an O_SYNC operation. Here is an example line from the
trace file describing a handle which lived on for 311 jiffies, or over
1.2 seconds:
postmark-2917 [000] .... 196.435786: jbd2_handle_stats: dev 254,32

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.

The only reason for sb_getblk() failing is if it can't allocate the

Previously, ext4_extents.h was being included at the end of ext4.h,
which was bad for a number of reasons: (a) it was not being included
in the expected place, and (b) it caused the header to be included
multiple times. There were #ifdef's to prevent this from causing any
problems, but it still was unnecessary.
By moving the function declarations that were in ext4_extents.h to
ext4.h, which is standard practice for where the function declarations
for the rest of ext4.h can be found, we can remove ext4_extents.h from
being included in ext4.h at all, and then we can only include
ext4_extents.h where it is needed in ext4's source files.
It should be possible to move a few more things into ext4.h, and
further reduce the number of source files that need to #include
ext4_extents.h, but that's a cleanup for another day.

Currently ext4_ext_walk_space() only takes i_data_sem for read when
searching for the extent at given block with ext4_ext_find_extent().
Then it drops the lock and the extent tree can be changed at will.
However later on we're searching for the 'next' extent, but the extent
tree might already have changed, so the information might not be
accurate.
In fact we can hit BUG_ON(end <= start) if the extent got inserted into
the tree after the one we found and before the block we were searching
for. This has been reproduced by running xfstests 225 in loop on s390x
architecture, but theoretically we could hit this on any other
architecture as well, but probably not as often.
Moreover the extent currently in delayed allocation might be allocated
after we search the extent tree and before we search extent status tree
delayed buffers resulting in those delayed buffers being completely
missed, even though completely written and allocated.
We fix all those problems in several steps:
1. remove unnecessary callback indirection
2. rename functions
ext4_ext_walk_space -> ext4_fill_fiemap_extents
ext4_ext_fiemap_cb -> ext4_find_delayed_extent
3. move fiemap_fill_next_extent() into ext4_fill_fiemap_extents()
4. hold the i_data_sem for:
ext4_ext_find_extent()
ext4_ext_next_allocated_block()
ext4_find_delayed_extent()
5. call fiemap_fill_next_extent after releasing the i_data_sem
6. move path reinitialization into the critical section.

We assumed that at the time we call ext4_convert_unwritten_extents_endio()
extent in question is fully inside [map.m_lblk, map->m_len] because
it was already split during submission. But this may not be true due to
a race between writeback vs fallocate.
If extent in question is larger than requested we will split it again.
Special precautions should being done if zeroout required because
[map.m_lblk, map->m_len] already contains valid data.

BUG #1) All places where we call ext4_flush_completed_IO are broken
because buffered io and DIO/AIO goes through three stages
1) submitted io,
2) completed io (in i_completed_io_list) conversion pended
3) finished io (conversion done)
And by calling ext4_flush_completed_IO we will flush only
requests which were in (2) stage, which is wrong because:
1) punch_hole and truncate _must_ wait for all outstanding unwritten io
regardless to it's state.
2) fsync and nolock_dio_read should also wait because there is
a time window between end_page_writeback() and ext4_add_complete_io()
As result integrity fsync is broken in case of buffered write
to fallocated region:
fsync blkdev_completion
->filemap_write_and_wait_range
->ext4_end_bio
->end_page_writeback
<-- filemap_write_and_wait_range return
->ext4_flush_completed_IO
sees empty i_completed_io_list but pended
conversion still exist
->ext4_add_complete_io
BUG #2) Race window becomes wider due to the 'ext4: completed_io
locking cleanup V4' patch series
This patch make following changes:
1) ext4_flush_completed_io() now first try to flush completed io and when
wait for any outstanding unwritten io via ext4_unwritten_wait()
2) Rename function to more appropriate name.
3) Assert that all callers of ext4_flush_unwritten_io should hold i_mutex to
prevent endless wait

punch_hole is the place where we have to wait for all existing writers
(writeback, aio, dio), but currently we simply flush pended end_io request
which is not sufficient. Other issue is that punch_hole performed w/o i_mutex
held which obviously result in dangerous data corruption due to
write-after-free.
This patch performs following changes:
- Guard punch_hole with i_mutex
- Recheck inode flags under i_mutex
- Block all new dio readers in order to prevent information leak caused by
read-after-free pattern.
- punch_hole now wait for all writers in flight
NOTE: XXX write-after-free race is still possible because new dirty pages
may appear due to mmap(), and currently there is no easy way to stop
writeback while punch_hole is in progress.

Current unwritten extent conversion state-machine is very fuzzy.
- For unknown reason it performs conversion under i_mutex. What for?
My diagnosis:
We already protect extent tree with i_data_sem, truncate and punch_hole
should wait for DIO, so the only data we have to protect is end_io->flags
modification, but only flush_completed_IO and end_io_work modified this
flags and we can serialize them via i_completed_io_lock.
Currently all these games with mutex_trylock result in the following deadlock
truncate: kworker:
ext4_setattr ext4_end_io_work
mutex_lock(i_mutex)
inode_dio_wait(inode) ->BLOCK
DEADLOCK<- mutex_trylock()
inode_dio_done()
#TEST_CASE1_BEGIN

sleep 2
truncate -s 0 $MNT/file
#TEST_CASE1_END
Or use 286's xfstests https://github.com/dmonakhov/xfstests/blob/devel/286
This patch makes state machine simple and clean:
(1) xxx_end_io schedule final extent conversion simply by calling
ext4_add_complete_io(), which append it to ei->i_completed_io_list
NOTE1: because of (2A) work should be queued only if
->i_completed_io_list was empty, otherwise the work is scheduled already.
(2) ext4_flush_completed_IO is responsible for handling all pending
end_io from ei->i_completed_io_list
Flushing sequence consists of following stages:
A) LOCKED: Atomically drain completed_io_list to local_list
B) Perform extents conversion
C) LOCKED: move converted io's to to_free list for final deletion
This logic depends on context which we was called from.
D) Final end_io context destruction
NOTE1: i_mutex is no longer required because end_io->flags modification
is protected by ei->ext4_complete_io_lock
Full list of changes:
- Move all completion end_io related routines to page-io.c in order to improve
logic locality
- Move open coded logic from various xx_end_xx routines to ext4_add_complete_io()
- remove EXT4_IO_END_FSYNC
- Improve SMP scalability by removing useless i_mutex which does not
protect io->flags anymore.
- Reduce lock contention on i_completed_io_lock by optimizing list walk.
- Rename ext4_end_io_nolock to end4_end_io and make it static
- Check flush completion status to ext4_ext_punch_hole(). Because it is
not good idea to punch blocks from corrupted inode.
Changes since V3 (in request to Jan's comments):
Fall back to active flush_completed_IO() approach in order to prevent
performance issues with nolocked DIO reads.
Changes since V2:

ext4_set_io_unwritten_flag() will increment i_unwritten counter, so
once we mark end_io with EXT4_END_IO_UNWRITTEN we have to revert it back
on error path.
- add missed error checks to prevent counter leakage
- ext4_end_io_nolock() will clear EXT4_END_IO_UNWRITTEN flag to signal
that conversion finished.
- add BUG_ON to ext4_free_end_io() to prevent similar leakage in future.
Visible effect of this bug is that unaligned aio_stress may deadlock

Currently in ext4 the length of zero-out chunk is set to 7 file system
blocks. But if an inode has uninitailized extents from using
fallocate to preallocate space, and the workload issues many random
writes, this can cause a fragmented extent tree that will
unnecessarily grow the extent tree.
So create a new sysfs tunable, extent_max_zeroout_kb, which controls
the maximum size where blocks will be zeroed out instead of creating a
new uninitialized extent. The default of this has been sent to 32kb.

the extents up into the inode, and discarding the extent tree block.
This is important, because if there are a large number of inodes with
an external extent tree blocks where the contents could fit in the
inode, this can significantly increase the fsck time of the file
system.

Commit 968dee7722: "ext4: fix hole punch failure when depth is greater
than 0" introduced a regression in v3.5.1/v3.6-rc1 which caused kernel
crashes when users ran run "rm -rf" on large directory hierarchy on
ext4 filesystems on RAID devices:
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000028

RIP [<ffffffff81233164>] ext4_ext_remove_space+0xa34/0xdf0
This could be reproduced as follows:
The problem in commit 968dee7722 was that caused the variable 'i' to
be left uninitialized if the truncate required more space than was
available in the journal. This resulted in the function
ext4_ext_truncate_extend_restart() returning -EAGAIN, which caused
ext4_ext_remove_space() to restart the truncate operation after
starting a new jbd2 handle.

Whether to continue removing extents or not is decided by the return
value of function ext4_ext_more_to_rm() which checks 2 conditions:
a) if there are no more indexes to process.
b) if the number of entries are decreased in the header of "depth -1".
In case of hole punch, if the last block to be removed is not part of
the last extent index than this index will not be deleted, hence the
number of valid entries in the extent header of "depth - 1" will
remain as it is and ext4_ext_more_to_rm will return 0 although the
required blocks are not yet removed.
This patch fixes the above mentioned problem as instead of removing
the extents from the end of file, it starts removing the blocks from
the particular extent from which removing blocks is actually required
and continue backward until done.

In this patch, ext4_ext_try_to_merge has been change to merge
an extent both left and right. So we need to update the comment
in here.

Ext4 must make sure the transaction to be commited to the disk when
user opens a file with O_(D)SYNC flag and do a fallocate(2) call.

When truncating a file, we unmap pages from userspace first, as that's
usually more efficient than relying, page by page, on the fallback in
truncate_inode_page() - particularly if the file is mapped many times.
Do the same when punching a hole: 3.4 added truncate_pagecache_range()
to do the unmap and trunc, so use it in ext4_ext_punch_hole(), instead
of calling truncate_inode_pages_range() directly.

Calculate and verify the checksum for each extent tree block. The
checksum is located in the space immediately after the last possible
ext4_extent in the block. The space is is typically the last 4-8
bytes in the block.

Create a new BH_Verified flag to indicate that we've verified all the
data in a buffer_head for correctness. This allows us to bypass
expensive verification steps when they are not necessary without
missing them when they are.
