2009-09-17ext4: replace MAX_DEFRAG_SIZE with EXT_MAX_BLOCKEric Sandeen
There's no reason to redefine the maximum allowable offset in an extent-based file just for defrag; EXT_MAX_BLOCK already does this. Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2009-09-17ext4: store EXT4_EXT_MIGRATE in i_state instead of i_flagsTheodore Ts'o
EXT4_EXT_MIGRATE is only intended to be used for an in-memory flag, and the hex value assigned to it collides with FS_DIRECTIO_FL (which is also stored in i_flags). There's no reason for the EXT4_EXT_MIGRATE bit to be stored in i_flags, so we switch it to use i_state instead.

2009-09-16ext4: limit block allocations for indirect-block files to < 2^32Eric Sandeen
Today, the ext4 allocator will happily allocate blocks past 2^32 for indirect-block files, which results in the block numbers getting truncated, and corruption ensues. This patch limits such allocations to < 2^32, and adds BUG_ONs if we do get blocks larger than that. This should address RH Bug 519471, ext4 bitmap allocator must limit blocks to < 2^32 * ext4_find_goal() is modified to choose a goal < UINT_MAX, so that our starting point is in an acceptable range. * ext4_xattr_block_set() is modified such that the goal block is < UINT_MAX, as above. * ext4_mb_regular_allocator() is modified so that the group search does not continue into groups which are too high * ext4_mb_use_preallocated() has a check that we don't use preallocated space which is too far out * ext4_alloc_blocks() and ext4_xattr_block_set() add some BUG_ONs No attempt has been made to limit inode locations to < 2^32, so we may wind up with blocks far from their inodes. Doing this much already will lead to some odd ENOSPC issues when the "lower 32" gets full, and further restricting inodes could make that even weirder. For high inodes, choosing a goal of the original, % UINT_MAX, may be a bit odd, but then we're in an odd situation anyway, and I don't know of a better heuristic.

2009-08-25ext4: use ext4_grpblk_t more extensivelyEric Sandeen
unsigned short is potentially too small to track blocks within a group; today it is safe due to restrictions in e2fsprogs but we have _lo / _hi bits for group blocks with the intent to go up to 32 bits, so clean this up now. There are many more places where we use unsigned/int/unsigned int to contain a group block but this should at least fix all the short types. I added a few comments to the struct ext4_group_info definition as well. Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2009-08-17ext4: open-code ext4_mb_update_group_infoEric Sandeen
ext4_mb_update_group_info is only called in one place, and it's extremely simple. There's no reason to have it in a separate function in a separate file as far as I can tell, it just obfuscates what's really going on. Perhaps it was intended to keep the grp->bb_* manipulation local to mballoc.c but we're already accessing other grp-> fields in balloc.c directly so this seems ok.

2009-08-17ext4: Fix possible deadlock between ext4_truncate() and ext4_get_blocks()Jan Kara
During truncate we are sometimes forced to start a new transaction as the amount of blocks to be journaled is both quite large and hard to predict. So far we restarted a transaction while holding i_data_sem and that violates lock ordering because i_data_sem ranks below a transaction start (and it can lead to a real deadlock with ext4_get_blocks() mapping blocks in some page while having a transaction open). We fix the problem by dropping the i_data_sem before restarting the transaction and acquire it afterwards. It's slightly subtle that this works: 1) By the time ext4_truncate() is called, all the page cache for the truncated part of the file is dropped so get_block() should not be called on it (we only have to invalidate extent cache after we reacquire i_data_sem because some extent from not-truncated part could extend also into the part we are going to truncate). 2) Writes, migrate or defrag hold i_mutex so they are stopped for all the time of the truncate.

2009-09-18ext4: Avoid group preallocation for closed filesTheodore Ts'o
Currently the group preallocation code tries to find a large (512) free block from which to do per-cpu group allocation for small files. The problem with this scheme is that it leaves the filesystem horribly fragmented. In the worst case, if the filesystem is unmounted and remounted (after a system shutdown, for example) we forget the fact that wee were using a particular (now-partially filled) 512 block extent. So the next time we try to allocate space for a small file, we will find *another* completely free 512 block chunk to allocate small files. Given that there are 32,768 blocks in a block group, after 64 iterations of "mount, write one 4k file in a directory, unmount", the block group will have 64 files, each separated by 511 blocks, and the block group will no longer have any free 512 completely free chunks of blocks for group preallocation space. So if we try to allocate blocks for a file that has been closed, such that we know the final size of the file, and the filesystem is not busy, avoid using group preallocation.

2009-08-09ext4: Fix bugs in mballoc's stream allocation modeTheodore Ts'o
The logic around sbi->s_mb_last_group and sbi->s_mb_last_start was all screwed up. These fields were getting unconditionally all the time, set even when stream allocation had not taken place, and if they were being used when the file was smaller than s_mb_stream_request, which is when the allocation should _not_ be doing stream allocation. Fix this by determining whether or not we stream allocation should take place once, in ext4_mb_group_or_file(), and setting a flag which gets used in ext4_mb_regular_allocator() and ext4_mb_use_best_found(). This simplifies the code and assures that we are consistently using (or not using) the stream allocation logic. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

As Ted noted, the ext4_allocation_request isn't well aligned.

2009-06-13ext4: teach the inode allocator to use a goal inode numberAndreas Dilger
Enhance the inode allocator to take a goal inode number as a paremeter; if it is specified, it takes precedence over Orlov or parent directory inode allocation algorithms. The extents migration function uses the goal inode number so that the extent trees allocated the migration function use the correct flex_bg. In the future, the goal inode functionality will also be used to allocate an adjacent inode for the extended attributes. Also, for testing purposes the goal inode number can be specified via /sys/fs/{dev}/inode_goal. This can be useful for testing inode allocation beyond 2^32 blocks on very large filesystems.

Get rid of EXTEND_DISKSIZE flag of ext4_get_blocks_handle(). This seems to be a relict from some old days and setting disksize in this function does not make much sense. Currently it was set only by ext4_getblk(). Since the parameter has some effect only if create == 1, it is easy to check by grepping through the sources that the three callers which end up calling ext4_getblk() with create == 1 (ext4_append, ext4_quota_write, ext4_mkdir) do the right thing and set disksize themselves.

2009-05-17ext4: Add a comprehensive block validity check to ext4_get_blocks()Theodore Ts'o
To catch filesystem bugs or corruption which could lead to the filesystem getting severly damaged, this patch adds a facility for tracking all of the filesystem metadata blocks by contiguous regions in a red-black tree. This allows quick searching of the tree to locate extents which might overlap with filesystem metadata blocks. This facility is also used by the multi-block allocator to assure that it is not allocating blocks out of the system zone, as well as by the routines used when reading indirect blocks and extents information from disk to make sure their contents are valid.

The ext4_get_blocks() function was depending on the value of bh_result->b_state as an input parameter to decide whether or not update the delalloc accounting statistics by calling ext4_da_update_reserve_space(). We now use a separate flag, EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_UPDATE_RESERVE_SPACE, to requests this update, so that all callers of ext4_get_blocks() can clear map_bh.b_state before calling ext4_get_blocks() without worrying about any consistency issues.

2009-05-01ext4: Avoid races caused by on-line resizing and SMP memory reorderingTheodore Ts'o
Ext4's on-line resizing adds a new block group and then, only at the last step adjusts s_groups_count. However, it's possible on SMP systems that another CPU could see the updated the s_group_count and not see the newly initialized data structures for the just-added block group. For this reason, it's important to insert a SMP read barrier after reading s_groups_count and before reading any (for example) the new block group descriptors allowed by the increased value of s_groups_count. Unfortunately, we rather blatently violate this locking protocol documented in fs/ext4/resize.c. Fortunately, (1) on-line resizes happen relatively rarely, and (2) it seems rare that the filesystem code will immediately try to use just-added block group before any memory ordering issues resolve themselves. So apparently problems here are relatively hard to hit, since ext3 has been vulnerable to the same issue for years with no one apparently complaining. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

2009-03-12ext4: New inode/block allocation algorithms for flex_bg filesystemsTheodore Ts'o
The find_group_flex() inode allocator is now only used if the filesystem is mounted using the "oldalloc" mount option. It is replaced with the original Orlov allocator that has been updated for flex_bg filesystems (it should behave the same way if flex_bg is disabled). The inode allocator now functions by taking into account each flex_bg group, instead of each block group, when deciding whether or not it's time to allocate a new directory into a fresh flex_bg. The block allocator has also been changed so that the first block group in each flex_bg is preferred for use for storing directory blocks. This keeps directory blocks close together, which is good for speeding up e2fsck since large directories are more likely to look like this: debugfs: stat /home/tytso/Maildir/cur Inode: 1844562 Type: directory Mode: 0700 Flags: 0x81000 Generation: 1132745781 Version: 0x00000000:0000ad71 User: 15806 Group: 15806 Size: 1060864 File ACL: 0 Directory ACL: 0 Links: 2 Blockcount: 2072 Fragment: Address: 0 Number: 0 Size: 0 ctime: 0x499c0ff4:164961f4 -- Wed Feb 18 08:41:08 2009 atime: 0x499c0ff4:00000000 -- Wed Feb 18 08:41:08 2009 mtime: 0x49957f51:00000000 -- Fri Feb 13 09:10:25 2009 crtime: 0x499c0f57:00d51440 -- Wed Feb 18 08:38:31 2009 Size of extra inode fields: 28 BLOCKS: (0):7348651, (1-258):7348654-7348911 TOTAL: 259 Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

2009-02-14ext4: New rec_len encoding for very large blocksizesWei Yongjun
The rec_len field in the directory entry is 16 bits, so to encode blocksizes larger than 64k becomes problematic. This patch allows us to supprot block sizes up to 256k, by using the low 2 bits to extend the range of rec_len to 2**18-1 (since valid rec_len sizes must be a multiple of 4). We use the convention that a rec_len of 0 or 65535 means the filesystem block size, for compatibility with older kernels. It's unlikely we'll see VM pages of up to 256k, but at some point we might find that the Linux VM has been enhanced to support filesystem block sizes > than the VM page size, at which point it might be useful for some applications to allow very large filesystem block sizes.

2009-02-10ext4: Fix to read empty directory blocks correctly in 64kWei Yongjun
The rec_len field in the directory entry is 16 bits, so there was a problem representing rec_len for filesystems with a 64k block size in the case where the directory entry takes the entire 64k block. Unfortunately, there were two schemes that were proposed; one where all zeros meant 65536 and one where all ones (65535) meant 65536. E2fsprogs used 0, whereas the kernel used 65535. Oops. Fortunately this case happens extremely rarely, with the most common case being the lost+found directory, created by mke2fs. So we will be liberal in what we accept, and accept both encodings, but we will continue to encode 65536 as 65535. This will require a change in e2fsprogs, but with fortunately ext4 filesystems normally have the dir_index feature enabled, which precludes having a completely empty directory block.

2009-02-06ext4: Remove stale block allocator references from ext4.hMike Snitzer
Remove some leftovers from when the old block allocator was removed (c2ea3fde). ext4_sb_info is now a bit lighter. Also remove a dangling read_block_bitmap() prototype. Signed-off-by: Mike Snitzer <snitzer@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2009-01-17ext4: only use i_size_high for regular filesTheodore Ts'o
Directories are not allowed to be bigger than 2GB, so don't use i_size_high for anything other than regular files. E2fsck should complain about these inodes, but the simplest thing to do for the kernel is to only use i_size_high for regular files. This prevents an intentially corrupted filesystem from causing the kernel to burn a huge amount of CPU and issuing error messages such as: EXT4-fs warning (device loop0): ext4_block_to_path: block 135090028 > max Thanks to David Maciejak from Fortinet's FortiGuard Global Security Research Team for reporting this issue. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12375 Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@kernel.org
