Before this patch, function do_grow would not reserve enough journal
blocks in the transaction to unstuff jdata files while growing them.
This patch adds the logic to add one more block if the file to grow
is jdata.

GFS2 passes the inode buffer head (dibh) from gfs2_iomap_begin to
gfs2_iomap_end in iomap->private. It sets that private pointer in
gfs2_iomap_get. Users of gfs2_iomap_get other than gfs2_iomap_begin
would have to release iomap->private, but this isn't done correctly,
leading to a leak of buffer head references.
To fix this, move the code for setting iomap->private from
gfs2_iomap_get to gfs2_iomap_begin.

The previous attempt to fix for metadata read-ahead during truncate was
incorrect: for files with a height > 2 (1006989312 bytes with a block
size of 4096 bytes), read-ahead requests were not being issued for some
of the indirect blocks discovered while walking the metadata tree,
leading to significant slow-downs when deleting large files. Fix that.
In addition, only issue read-ahead requests in the first pass through
the meta-data tree, while deallocating data blocks.

It turns out that the fix in commit 6636c3cc56 is bad; the assertion
that the iomap code no longer creates buffer heads is incorrect for
filesystems that set the IOMAP_F_BUFFER_HEAD flag.
Instead, what's happening is that gfs2_iomap_begin_write treats all
files that have the jdata flag set as journaled files, which is
incorrect as long as those files are inline ("stuffed"). We're handling
stuffed files directly via the page cache, which is why we ended up with
pages without buffer heads in gfs2_page_add_databufs.
Fix this by handling stuffed journaled files correctly in
gfs2_iomap_begin_write.
This reverts commit 6636c3cc5690c11631e6366cf9a28fb99c8b25bb.

in gfs2_iomap_journaled_page_done. However, the iomap code no longer

To speed up the common case of appending to a file,
gfs2_write_alloc_required presumes that writing beyond the end of a file
will always require additional blocks to be allocated. This assumption
is incorrect for preallocates files, but there are no negative
consequences as long as *some* space is still left on the filesystem.
One special file that always has some space preallocated beyond the end
of the file is the rindex: when growing a filesystem, gfs2_grow adds one
or more new resource groups and appends records describing those
resource groups to the rindex; the preallocated space ensures that this
is always possible.
However, when a filesystem is completely full, gfs2_write_alloc_required
will indicate that an additional allocation is required, and appending
the next record to the rindex will fail even though space for that
record has already been preallocated. To fix that, skip the incorrect
optimization in gfs2_write_alloc_required, but for the rindex only.
Other writes to preallocated space beyond the end of the file are still
allowed to fail on completely full filesystems.

With the traditional page-based writes, blocks are allocated separately
for each page written to. With iomap writes, we can allocate a lot more
blocks at once, with a fraction of the allocation overhead for each
page.

position (gfs2_alloc_size) off from gfs2_iomap_alloc: that size

otherwise, the bhs would not be marked as mapped, confusing

There are also numerous refactorings of the iomap code to remove
unnecessary log overhead, to disentangle some of the quota code, and
to prepare for buffer head removal in a future upstream kernel.
Metadata validation continues to improve, both in the hot path
veifiers and the online filesystem check code. I anticipate sending a

GFS2 keeps two arrarys in the superblock that define the maximum size of
an inode depending on the inode's height: sdp->sd_heightsize defines the
heights in units of sb->s_blocksize; sdp->sd_jheightsize defines them in
units of sb->s_blocksize - sizeof(struct gfs2_meta_header). These
arrays are used to determine when additional layers of indirect blocks
are needed. The second array is used for directories which have an
additional gfs2_meta_header at the beginning of each block.
Distinguishing between these two cases makes no sense: the height
required for representing N blocks will come out the same no matter if
the calculation is done in gross (sb->s_blocksize) or net
(sb->s_blocksize - sizeof(struct gfs2_meta_header)) units.
Stuffed directories don't have an additional gfs2_meta_header, but the
stuffed case is handled separately for both files and directories,
anyway.
Remove the unncessary sdp->sd_jheightsize array.

Instead of zeroing out fallocated blocks in gfs2_iomap_alloc, zero them
out in fallocate_chunk, much higher up the call stack. This gets rid of
gfs2's abuse of the IOMAP_ZERO flag as well as the gfs2 specific zeronew
buffer flag. I can't think of a reason why zeroing out the blocks in
gfs2_iomap_alloc would have any benefits: there is no additional locking
at that level that would add protection to the newly allocated blocks.

When punching a hole or truncating an inode down to a given size, also
check if the truncate point / start of the hole is within the range we
have metadata for. Otherwise, we can end up freeing blocks that
shouldn't be freed, corrupting the inode, or crashing the machine when
trying to punch a hole into the void.
When growing an inode via truncate, we set the new size but we don't
allocate additional levels of indirect blocks and grow the inode height.
When shrinking that inode again, the new size may still point beyond the
end of the inode's metadata.

It turns out that commit 3974320ca6 "Implement iomap for block_map"
introduced a few bugs that trigger occasional failures with xfstest
generic/476:
In gfs2_iomap_begin, we jump to do_alloc when we determine that we are
beyond the end of the allocated metadata (height > ip->i_height).
There, we can end up calling hole_size with a metapath that doesn't
match the current metadata tree, which doesn't make sense. After
untangling the code at do_alloc, fix this by checking if the block we
are looking for is within the range of allocated metadata.
In addition, add a BUG() in case gfs2_iomap_begin is accidentally called
for reading stuffed files: this is handled separately. Make sure we
don't truncate iomap->length for reads beyond the end of the file; in
that case, the entire range counts as a hole.
Finally, revert to taking a bitmap write lock when doing allocations.
It's unclear why that change didn't lead to any failures during testing.

In rare cases, the current non-recursive delete algorithm doesn't

little practical effect, but deallocating all blocks correctly should
still be preferable as it is cleaner and easier to validate.

The metadata read-ahead algorithm broke when switching from recursive to
non-recursive delete: the current algorithm reads ahead blocks at height
N - 1 while deallocating the blocks at hight N. However, deallocating
the blocks at height N requires a complete walk of the metadata tree,
not only down to height N - 1. Consequently, all blocks below height
N - 1 will be accessed without read-ahead.

First, this function truncates the file in chunks. When the original
file size isn't block aligned, each chunk that is truncated will remain
be misaligned. This is inefficient.
Second, this function doesn't recognize where holes are, so it loops
through them. For each chunk of a hole, it creates a new transaction.
At least avoid creating another transactions whe the current one is
still empty. (An better fix would be to skip large holes, of course.)

Before this patch if you truncated a file to a smaller size it
wasn't freeing all the blocks properly. There are two reasons.
First, the metapath comparison was not comparing previous heights.
I added a function, mp_eq_to_hgt, which checks the metapath at
all heights prior to the target height.
Second, in function find_nonnull_ptr, it needed to zero out all
pointers for heights following the target height. Translated into
decimal integer terms, this way a number like 299, when incremented,
becomes 300, not 399. The 2 gets incremented to 3, and the following
digits need to be reset.
These two things allow the truncate state machine to properly find
the blocks it needs to delete.

When gfs2 does metadata I/O, only REQ_META is used as a metadata hint of
the bio. But flag REQ_META is just a hint for block trace, not for block
layer code to handle a bio as metadata request.
For some of metadata I/Os of gfs2, A REQ_PRIO flag on the metadata bio
would be very informative to block layer code. For example, if bcache is
used as a I/O cache for gfs2, it will be possible for bcache code to get
the hint and cache the pre-fetched metadata blocks on cache device. This
behavior may be helpful to improve metadata I/O performance if the
following requests hit the cache.
Here are the locations in gfs2 code where a REQ_PRIO flag should be added,
- All places where REQ_READAHEAD is used, gfs2 code uses this flag for
metadata read ahead.
- In gfs2_meta_rq() where the first metadata block is read in.
- In gfs2_write_buf_to_page(), read in quota metadata blocks to have them
up to date.
These metadata blocks are probably to be accessed again in future, adding
a REQ_PRIO flag may have bcache to keep such metadata in fast cache
device. For system without a cache layer, REQ_PRIO can still provide hint
to block layer to handle metadata requests more properly.

Pull GFS2 updates from Bob Peterson:
"We've got eight GFS2 patches for this merge window:
- Andreas Gruenbacher has four patches related to cleaning up the
GFS2 inode evict process. This is about half of his patches
designed to fix a long-standing GFS2 hang related to the inode
shrinker: Shrinker calls gfs2 evict, evict calls DLM, DLM requires
memory and blocks on the shrinker.
These four patches have been well tested. His second set of patches
are still being tested, so I plan to hold them until the next merge
window, after we have more weeks of testing. The first patch
eliminates the flush_delayed_work, which can block.
- Andreas's second patch protects setting of gl_object for rgrps with
a spin_lock to prevent proven races.
- His third patch introduces a centralized mechanism for queueing
glock work with better reference counting, to prevent more races.
-His fourth patch retains a reference to inode glocks when an error
occurs while creating an inode. This keeps the subsequent evict
from needing to reacquire the glock, which might call into DLM and
block in low memory conditions.
- Arvind Yadav has a patch to add const to attribute_group
structures.
- I have a patch to detect directory entry inconsistencies and
withdraw the file system if any are found. Better that than silent
corruption.
- I have a patch to remove a vestigial variable from glock
structures, saving some slab space.
- I have another patch to remove a vestigial variable from the GFS2
in-core superblock structure"
