2008-10-16ext4: Remove automatic enabling of the HUGE_FILE feature flagTheodore Ts'o
If the HUGE_FILE feature flag is not set, don't allow the creation of large files, instead of automatically enabling the feature flag. Recent versions of mke2fs will set the HUGE_FILE flag automatically anyway for ext4 filesystems. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2008-10-16ext4: Fix file fragmentation during large file write.Aneesh Kumar K.V
The range_cyclic writeback mode uses the address_space writeback_index as the start index for writeback. With delayed allocation we were updating writeback_index wrongly resulting in highly fragmented file. This patch reduces the number of extents reduced from 4000 to 27 for a 3GB file.

2008-10-09ext4: Use readahead when reading an inode from the inode tableTheodore Ts'o
With modern hard drives, reading 64k takes roughly the same time as reading a 4k block. So request readahead for adjacent inode table blocks to reduce the time it takes when iterating over directories (especially when doing this in htree sort order) in a cold cache case. With this patch, the time it takes to run "git status" on a kernel tree after flushing the caches via "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches" is reduced by 21%.

2008-09-13ext4: Properly update i_disksize.Aneesh Kumar K.V
With delayed allocation we use i_data_sem to update i_disksize. We need to update i_disksize only if the new size specified is greater than the current value and we need to make sure we don't race with other i_disksize update. With delayed allocation we will switch to the write_begin function for non-delayed allocation if we are low on free blocks. This means the write_begin function for non-delayed allocation also needs to use the same locking. We also need to check and update i_disksize even if the new size is less that inode.i_size because of delayed allocation.

During block reservation if we don't have enough blocks left, retry block reservation with smaller block counts. This makes sure we try fallocate and DIO with smaller request size and don't fail early. The delayed allocation reservation cannot try with smaller block count.

2008-10-09ext4: Make sure all the block allocation paths reserve blocksAneesh Kumar K.V
With delayed allocation we need to make sure block are reserved before we attempt to allocate them. Otherwise we get block allocation failure (ENOSPC) during writepages which cannot be handled. This would mean silent data loss (We do a printk stating data will be lost). This patch updates the DIO and fallocate code path to do block reservation before block allocation. This is needed to make sure parallel DIO and fallocate request doesn't take block out of delayed reserve space. When free blocks count go below a threshold we switch to a slow patch which looks at other CPU's accumulated percpu counter values.

2008-08-19ext4: journal credit fix for the delayed allocation's writepages() functionMingming Cao
Previous delalloc writepages implementation started a new transaction outside of a loop which called get_block() to do the block allocation. Since we didn't know exactly how many blocks would need to be allocated, the estimated journal credits required was very conservative and caused many issues. With the reworked delayed allocation, a new transaction is created for each get_block(), thus we don't need to guess how many credits for the multiple chunk of allocation. We start every transaction with enough credits for inserting a single exent. When estimate the credits for indirect blocks to allocate a chunk of blocks, we need to know the number of data blocks to allocate. We use the total number of reserved delalloc datablocks; if that is too big, for non-extent files, we need to limit the number of blocks to EXT4_MAX_TRANS_BLOCKS. Code cleanup from Aneesh.

2008-08-19ext4: Rework the ext4_da_writepages() functionAneesh Kumar K.V
With the below changes we reserve credit needed to insert only one extent resulting from a call to single get_block. This makes sure we don't take too much journal credits during writeout. We also don't limit the pages to write. That means we loop through the dirty pages building largest possible contiguous block request. Then we issue a single get_block request. We may get less block that we requested. If so we would end up not mapping some of the buffer_heads. That means those buffer_heads are still marked delay. Later in the writepage callback via __mpage_writepage we redirty those pages. We should also not limit/throttle wbc->nr_to_write in the filesystem writepages callback. That cause wrong behaviour in generic_sync_sb_inodes caused by wbc->nr_to_write being <= 0 Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

DIO and fallocate credit calculation is different than writepage, as they do start a new journal right for each call to ext4_get_blocks_wrap(). This patch uses the helper function in DIO and fallocate case, passing a flag indicating that the modified data are contigous thus could account less indirect/index blocks. This patch also fixed the journal credit reservation for direct I/O (DIO). Previously the estimated credits for DIO only was calculated for non-extent files, which was not enough if the file is extent-based.

2008-08-19ext4: journal credits calulation cleanup and fix for non-extent writepageMingming Cao
When considering how many journal credits are needed for modifying a chunk of data, we need to account for the super block, inode block, quota blocks and xattr block, indirect/index blocks, also, group bitmap and group descriptor blocks for new allocation (including data and indirect/index blocks). There are many places in ext4 do the calculation on their own and often missed one or two meta blocks, and often they assume single block allocation, and did not considering the multile chunk of allocation case. This patch is trying to cleanup current journal credit code, provides some common helper funtion to calculate the journal credits, to be used for writepage, writepages, DIO, fallocate, migration, defrag, and for both nonextent and extent files. This patch modified the writepage/write_begin credit caculation for nonextent files, to use the new helper function. It also fixed the problem that writepage on nonextent files did not consider the case blocksize <pagesize, thus could possibelly need multiple block allocation in a single transaction.

2008-08-19ext4: Fix delalloc release block reservation for truncateMingming Cao
Ext4 will release the reserved blocks for delayed allocations when inode is truncated/unlinked. If there is no reserved block at all, we shouldn't need to do so. But current code still tries to release the reserved blocks regardless whether the counters's value is 0. Continue to do that causes the later calculation to go wrong and a kernel BUG_ON() caught that. This doesn't happen for extent-based files, as the calculation for 0 reserved blocks was right for extent based file. This patch fixed the kernel BUG() due to above reason. It adds checks for 0 to avoid unnecessary release and fix calculation for non-extent files. Signed-off-by: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>

2008-07-26ext4: don't read inode block if the buffer has a write errorHidehiro Kawai
A transient I/O error can corrupt inode data. Here is the scenario: (1) update inode_A at the block_B (2) pdflush writes out new inode_A to the filesystem, but it results in write I/O error, at this point, BH_Uptodate flag of the buffer for block_B is cleared and BH_Write_EIO is set (3) create new inode_C which located at block_B, and __ext4_get_inode_loc() tries to read on-disk block_B because the buffer is not uptodate (4) if it can read on-disk block_B successfully, inode_A is overwritten by old data This patch makes __ext4_get_inode_loc() not read the inode block if the buffer has BH_Write_EIO flag. In this case, the buffer should have the latest information, so setting the uptodate flag to the buffer (this avoids WARN_ON_ONCE() in mark_buffer_dirty().) According to this change, we would need to test BH_Write_EIO flag for the error checking. Currently nobody checks write I/O errors on metadata buffers, but it will be done in other patches I'm working on.

2008-07-28vfs: pagecache usage optimization for pagesize!=blocksizeHisashi Hifumi
When we read some part of a file through pagecache, if there is a pagecache of corresponding index but this page is not uptodate, read IO is issued and this page will be uptodate. I think this is good for pagesize == blocksize environment but there is room for improvement on pagesize != blocksize environment. Because in this case a page can have multiple buffers and even if a page is not uptodate, some buffers can be uptodate. So I suggest that when all buffers which correspond to a part of a file that we want to read are uptodate, use this pagecache and copy data from this pagecache to user buffer even if a page is not uptodate. This can reduce read IO and improve system throughput. I wrote a benchmark program and got result number with this program. This benchmark do: 1: mount and open a test file. 2: create a 512MB file. 3: close a file and umount. 4: mount and again open a test file. 5: pwrite randomly 300000 times on a test file. offset is aligned by IO size(1024bytes). 6: measure time of preading randomly 100000 times on a test file. The result was: 2.6.26 330 sec 2.6.26-patched 226 sec Arch:i386 Filesystem:ext3 Blocksize:1024 bytes Memory: 1GB On ext3/4, a file is written through buffer/block. So random read/write mixed workloads or random read after random write workloads are optimized with this patch under pagesize != blocksize environment. This test result showed this.

2008-07-11ext4: delayed allocation i_blocks fix for statMingming Cao
Right now i_blocks is not getting updated until the blocks are actually allocaed on disk. This means with delayed allocation, right after files are copied, "ls -sF" shoes the file as taking 0 blocks on disk. "du" also shows the files taking zero space, which is highly confusing to the user. Since delayed allocation already keeps track of per-inode total number of blocks that are subject to delayed allocation, this patch fix this by using that to adjust the value returned by stat(2). When real block allocation is done, the i_blocks will get updated. Since the reserved blocks for delayed allocation will be decreased, this will be keep value returned by stat(2) consistent.

2008-07-11ext4: fix delalloc i_disksize early update issueMingming Cao
Ext4_da_write_end() used walk_page_buffers() with a callback function of ext4_bh_unmapped_or_delay() to check if it extended the file size without allocating any blocks (since in this case i_disksize needs to be updated). However, this is didn't work proprely because the buffer head has not been marked dirty yet --- this is done later in block_commit_write() --- which caused ext4_bh_unmapped_or_delay() to always return false. In addition, walk_page_buffers() checks all of the buffer heads covering the page, and the only buffer_head that should be checked is the one covering the end of the write. Otherwise, given a 1k blocksize filesystem and a 4k page size, the buffer head covering the first 1k stripe of the file could be unmapped (because it was a sparse file), and the second or third buffer_head covering that page could be mapped, and using walk_page_buffers() would fail in this case since it would stop at the first unmapped buffer_head and return true. The core problem is that walk_page_buffers() was intended to do work in a callback function, and a non-zero return value indicated a failure, which termined the walk of the buffer heads covering the page. It was not intended to be used with a boolean function, such as ext4_bh_unmapped_or_delay(). Add addtional fix from Aneesh to protect i_disksize update rave with truncate.

2008-07-11ext4: Handle page without buffers in ext4_*_writepage()Aneesh Kumar K.V
It can happen that buffers are removed from the page before it gets marked dirty and then is passed to writepage(). In writepage() we just initialize the buffers and check whether they are mapped and non delay. If they are mapped and non delay we write the page. Otherwise we mark them dirty. With this change we don't do block allocation at all in ext4_*_write_page. writepage() can get called under many condition and with a locking order of journal_start -> lock_page, we should not try to allocate blocks in writepage() which get called after taking page lock. writepage() can get called via shrink_page_list even with a journal handle which was created for doing inode update. For example when doing ext4_da_write_begin we create a journal handle with credit 1 expecting a i_disksize update for the inode. But ext4_da_write_begin can cause shrink_page_list via _grab_page_cache. So having a valid handle via ext4_journal_current_handle is not a guarantee that we can use the handle for block allocation in writepage, since we shouldn't be using credits that had been reserved for other updates. That it could result in we running out of credits when we update inodes.

This provides a new ordered mode implementation which gets rid of using buffer heads to enforce the ordering between metadata change with the related data chage. Instead, in the new ordering mode, it keeps track of all of the inodes touched by each transaction on a list, and when that transaction is committed, it flushes all of the dirty pages for those inodes.

2008-07-11ext4: Use new framework for data=ordered mode in JBD2Jan Kara
This patch makes ext4 use inode-based implementation of data=ordered mode in JBD2. It allows us to unify some data=ordered and data=writeback paths (especially writepage since we don't have to start a transaction anymore) and remove some buffer walking. Updated fix from Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> to fix file system hang due to corrupt jinode values.

2008-07-11ext4: Invert the locking order of page_lock and transaction startJan Kara
This changes are needed to support data=ordered mode handling via inodes. This enables us to get rid of the journal heads and buffer heads for data buffers in the ordered mode. With the changes, during tranasaction commit we writeout the inode pages using the writepages()/writepage(). That implies we take page lock during transaction commit. This can cause a deadlock with the locking order page_lock -> jbd2_journal_start, since the jbd2_journal_start can wait for the journal_commit to happen and the journal_commit now needs to take the page lock. To avoid this dead lock reverse the locking order.

2008-07-11ext4: Use page_mkwrite vma_operations to get mmap write notification.Aneesh Kumar K.V
We would like to get notified when we are doing a write on mmap section. This is needed with respect to preallocated area. We split the preallocated area into initialzed extent and uninitialzed extent in the call back. This let us handle ENOSPC better. Otherwise we get ENOSPC in the writepage and that would result in data loss. The changes are also needed to handle ENOSPC when writing to an mmap section of files with holes.

2008-07-11ext4: Use inode preallocation with -o noextentsAneesh Kumar K.V
When mballoc is enabled, block allocation for old block-based files are allocated using mballoc allocator instead of old block-based allocator. The old ext3 block reservation is turned off when mballoc is turned on. However, the in-core preallocation is not enabled for block-based/ non-extent based file block allocation. This result in performance regression, as now we don't have "reservation" ore in-core preallocation to prevent interleaved fragmentation in multiple writes workload. This patch fix this by enable per inode in-core preallocation for non extent files when mballoc is used.

2008-07-11ext4: handle deleting corrupted indirect blocksDuane Griffin
While freeing indirect blocks we attach a journal head to the parent buffer head, free the blocks, then journal the parent. If the indirect block list is corrupted and points to the parent the journal head will be detached when the block is cleared, causing an OOPS. Check for that explicitly and handle it gracefully.

2008-07-11ext4: handle corrupted orphan list at mountDuane Griffin
If the orphan node list includes valid, untruncatable nodes with nlink > 0 the ext4_orphan_cleanup loop which attempts to delete them will not do so, causing it to loop forever. Fix by checking for such nodes in the ext4_orphan_get function. This patch fixes the second case (image hdb.20000009.softlockup.gz) reported in http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10882.
