2009-01-05quota: Increase size of variables for limits and inode usageJan Kara
So far quota was fine with quota block limits and inode limits/numbers in a 32-bit type. Now with rapid increase in storage sizes there are coming requests to be able to handle quota limits above 4TB / more that 2^32 inodes. So bump up sizes of types in mem_dqblk structure to 64-bits to be able to handle this. Also update inode allocation / checking functions to use qsize_t and make global structure keep quota limits in bytes so that things are consistent.

2009-01-05quota: Add callbacks for allocating and destroying dquot structuresJan Kara
Some filesystems would like to keep private information together with each dquot. Add callbacks alloc_dquot and destroy_dquot allowing filesystem to allocate larger dquots from their private slab in a similar fashion we currently allocate inodes.

2009-01-05ocfs2/xattr: Restore not_found in xisTao Ma
During an xattr set, when we move a xattr which was stored in inode to the outside bucket, we have to delete it and it will use the old value of xis->not_found. xis->not_found is removed by ocfs2_calc_xattr_set_need though, so we must restore it.

2009-01-05ocfs2/xattr: Fix a bug in xattr allocation estimationTao Ma
When we extend one xattr's value to a large size, the old value size might be smaller than the size of a value root. In those cases, we still need to guess the metadata allocation.

2009-01-05ocfs2: Convert ocfs2_read_dir_block() to ocfs2_read_virt_blocks()Joel Becker

2009-01-05ocfs2: Wrap virtual block reads in ocfs2_read_virt_blocks()Joel Becker
The ocfs2_read_dir_block() function really maps an inode's virtual blocks to physical ones before calling ocfs2_read_blocks(). Let's extract that to common code, because other places might want to do that. Other than the block number being virtual, ocfs2_read_virt_blocks() takes the same arguments as ocfs2_read_blocks(). It converts those virtual block numbers to physical before calling ocfs2_read_blocks() directly. If the blocks asked for are discontiguous, this can mean multiple calls to ocfs2_read_blocks(), but this is mostly hidden from the caller. Like ocfs2_read_blocks(), the caller can pass in an existing buffer_head. This is usually done to pick up some readahead I/O. ocfs2_read_virt_blocks() checks the buffer_head's block number against the extent map - it must match.

2009-01-05ocfs2: Validate metadata only when it's read from disk.Joel Becker
Add an optional validation hook to ocfs2_read_blocks(). Now the validation function is only called when a block was actually read off of disk. It is not called when the buffer was in cache. We add a buffer state bit BH_NeedsValidate to flag these buffers. It must always be one higher than the last JBD2 buffer state bit. The dinode, dirblock, extent_block, and xattr_block validators are lifted to this scheme directly. The group_descriptor validator needs to be split into two pieces. The first part only needs the gd buffer and is passed to ocfs2_read_block(). The second part requires the dinode as well, and is called every time. It's only 3 compares, so it's tiny. This also allows us to clean up the non-fatal gd check used by resize.c. It now has no magic argument.

2009-01-05ocfs2: Morph the haphazard OCFS2_IS_VALID_GROUP_DESC() checks.Joel Becker
Random places in the code would check a group descriptor bh to see if it was valid. The previous commit unified descriptor block reads, validating all block reads in the same place. Thus, these checks are no longer necessary. Rather than eliminate them, however, we change them to BUG_ON() checks. This ensures the assumptions remain true.

2009-01-05ocfs2: Wrap group descriptor reads in a dedicated function.Joel Becker
We have a clean call for validating group descriptors, but every place that wants the always does a read_block()+validate() call pair. Create a toplevel ocfs2_read_group_descriptor() that does the right thing. This allows us to leverage the single call point later for fancier handling. We also add validation of gd->bg_generation against the superblock and gd->bg_blkno against the block we thought we read.

2009-01-05ocfs2: Consolidate validation of group descriptors.Joel Becker
Currently the validation of group descriptors is directly duplicated so that one version can error the filesystem and the other (resize) can just report the problem.

2009-01-05ocfs2: Wrap inode block reads in a dedicated function.Joel Becker
The ocfs2 code currently reads inodes off disk with a simple ocfs2_read_block() call. Each place that does this has a different set of sanity checks it performs. Some check only the signature. A couple validate the block number (the block read vs di->i_blkno). A couple others check for VALID_FL. Only one place validates i_fs_generation. A couple check nothing. Even when an error is found, they don't all do the same thing. We wrap inode reading into ocfs2_read_inode_block(). This will validate all the above fields, going readonly if they are invalid (they never should be). ocfs2_read_inode_block_full() is provided for the places that want to pass read_block flags. Every caller is passing a struct inode with a valid ip_blkno, so we don't need a separate blkno argument either. We will remove the validation checks from the rest of the code in a later commit, as they are no longer necessary.

2009-01-05ocfs2/xattr: Merge xattr set transaction.Tao Ma
In current ocfs2/xattr, the whole xattr set is divided into many steps are many transaction are used, this make the xattr set process isn't like a real transaction, so this patch try to merge all the transaction into one. Another benefit is that acl can use it easily now. I don't merge the transaction of deleting xattr when we remove an inode. The reason is that if we have a large number of xattrs and every xattrs has large values(large enough for outside storage), the whole transaction will be very huge and it looks like jbd can't handle it(I meet with a jbd complain once). And the old inode removal is also divided into many steps, so I'd like to leave as it is. Note: In xattr set, I try to avoid ocfs2_extend_trans since if the credits aren't enough for the extension, it will commit all the dirty blocks and create a new transaction which may lead to inconsistency in metadata. All ocfs2_extend_trans remained are safe now. Signed-off-by: Tao Ma <tao.ma@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh <mfasheh@suse.com>

2009-01-05ocfs2: Add clusters free in dealloc_ctxt.Tao Ma
Now in ocfs2 xattr set, the whole process are divided into many small parts and they are wrapped into diffrent transactions and it make the set doesn't look like a real transaction. So we want to integrate it into a real one. In some cases we will allocate some clusters and free some in just one transaction. e.g, one xattr is larger than inline size, so it and its value root is stored within the inode while the value is outside in a cluster. Then we try to update it with a smaller value(larger than the size of root but smaller than inline size), we may need to free the outside cluster while allocate a new bucket(one cluster) since now the inode may be full. The old solution will lock the global_bitmap(if the local alloc failed in stress test) and then the truncate log. This will cause a ABBA lock with truncate log flush. This patch add the clusters free in dealloc_ctxt, so that we can record the free clusters during the transaction and then free it after we release the global_bitmap in xattr set.

2009-01-05ocfs2/xattr: Only extend xattr bucket in need.Tao Ma
When the first block of a bucket is filled up with xattr entries, we normally extend the bucket. But if we are just replace one xattr with small length, we don't need to extend it.

2009-01-04fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fixNick Piggin
With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the allocations happened. They are done in write_begin, which would always assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim. This bug could cause filesystem deadlocks. The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be called. It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to take the page lock. The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS anyway, so turn that into a single flag. Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS. Filesystems can now act on this flag in their write_begin function. Change __grab_cache_page to accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there, change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive and does away with random leading underscores). This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg. ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a random example).
