This is an effective revert of commit a30eec2a8: "ext4: stop issuing
discards if not supported by device". The problem is that there are
some devices that may return errors in response to a discard request
some times but not others. (One example would be a hybrid dm device
which concatenates an SSD and an HDD device).
By this logic, I also removed the error checking from ext4's FITRIM
code; so that an error from a discard will not stop the FITRIM from
trying to trim the rest of the file system.

We can call kfree on uninitialized members of the s_group_info array
on an the error path. We can avoid this by kzalloc'ing the array.
This doesn't entirely solve the oops on mount if we fail down this

later in the failed mount paths - I haven't worked that out yet.

In 2.6.37 I was running into oopses with repeated module
loads & unloads. I tracked this down to:
fb1813f4 ext4: use dedicated slab caches for group_info structures
(this was in addition to the features advert unload problem)
The kstrdup & subsequent kfree of the cache name was causing
a double free. In slub, at least, if I read it right it allocates
& frees the name itself, slab seems to do something different...
so in slub I think we were leaking -our- cachep->name, and double
freeing the one allocated by slub.
After getting lost in slab/slub/slob a bit, I just looked at other
sized-caches that get allocated. jbd2, biovec, sgpool all do it
more or less the way jbd2 does. Below patch follows the jbd2
method of dynamically allocating a cache at mount time from
a list of static names.
(This might also possibly fix a race creating the caches with
parallel mounts running).

When s_first_data_block is not zero (which happens e.g. when block size is 1KB)
and trim ioctl is called to start trimming from block 0, the math in
ext4_get_group_no_and_offset() overflows. The overall result is that ioctl
returns EINVAL which is kind of unexpected and we probably don't want
userspace tools to bother with internal details of filesystem structure.
So just silently increase starting offset (and shorten length) when starting
block is below s_first_data_block.

This function was never implemented, except for a BUG_ON which was
tripping when ext4 is run without a journal. The problem is that
although the comment asserts that "truncate (which is the only way to
free block) discards all preallocations", ext4_free_blocks() is also
called in various error recovery paths when blocks have been
allocated, but for various reasons, we were not able to use those data
blocks (for example, because we ran out of memory while trying to
manipulate the extent tree, or some other similar situation).
In addition to the fact that this function isn't implemented except
for the incorrect BUG_ON, the single caller of this function,
ext4_free_blocks(), doesn't use it all if the journal is enabled.
So remove the (stub) function entirely for now. If we decide it's
better to add it back, it's only going to be useful with a relatively
large number of code changes anyway.

in case that underlying device does not support discard it prints out

This commit removes warning message and flag setting from

Walk through allocation groups and trim all free extents. It can be

provide a way to trim the whole file system if needed, since some SSD's
may suffer from performance loss after the whole device was filled (it
does not mean that fs is full!).
It search for free extents in allocation groups specified by Byte range
start -> start+len. When the free extent is within this range, blocks
are marked as used and then trimmed. Afterwards these blocks are marked
as free in per-group bitmap.
Since fstrim is a long operation it is good to have an ability to
interrupt it by a signal. This was added by Dmitry Monakhov.

Many tracepoints were populating an ext4_allocation_context

ext4_group_info structures are currently allocated with kmalloc().
With a typical 4K block size, these are 136 bytes each -- meaning
they'll each consume a 256-byte slab object. On a system with many
ext4 large partitions, that's a lot of wasted kernel slab space.
(E.g., a single 1TB partition will have about 8000 block groups, using
about 2MB of slab, of which nearly 1MB is wasted.)
This patch creates an array of slab pointers created as needed --
depending on the superblock block size -- and uses these slabs to
allocate the group info objects.

We don't need to set s_dirt in most of the ext4 code when journaling
is enabled. In ext3/4 some of the summary statistics for # of free
inodes, blocks, and directories are calculated from the per-block
group statistics when the file system is mounted or unmounted. As a
result the superblock doesn't have to be updated, either via the
journal or by setting s_dirt. There are a few exceptions, most
notably when resizing the file system, where the superblock needs to
be modified --- and in that case it should be done as a journalled
operation if possible, and s_dirt set only in no-journal mode.
This patch will optimize out some unneeded disk writes when using ext4

This adds a new field in ext4_group_info to cache the largest available
block range in a block group; and don't load the buddy pages until *after*
we've done a sanity check on the block group.
With large allocation requests (e.g., fallocate(), 8MiB) and relatively full
partitions, it's easy to have no block groups with a block extent large
enough to satisfy the input request length. This currently causes the loop
during cr == 0 in ext4_mb_regular_allocator() to load the buddy bitmap pages
for EVERY block group. That can be a lot of pages. The patch below allows
us to call ext4_mb_good_group() BEFORE we load the buddy pages (although we

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Get rid of the alloc_space, free_space, reserve_space, claim_space and
release_rsv dquot operations - they are always called from the filesystem
and if a filesystem really needs their own (which none currently does)
it can just call into it's own routine directly.
Move shared logic into the common __dquot_alloc_space,
dquot_claim_space_nodirty and __dquot_free_space low-level methods,
and rationalize the wrappers around it to move as much as possible
code into the common block for CONFIG_QUOTA vs not. Also rename
all these helpers to be named dquot_* instead of vfs_dq_*.

The ext4 multiblock allocator decides whether to use group or file
preallocation based on the file size. When the file size reaches
s_mb_stream_request (default is 16 blocks), it changes to use a
file-specific preallocation. This is cool, but it has a tiny problem.
See a simple script:
mkfs.ext4 -b 1024 /dev/sda8 1000000
mount -t ext4 -o nodelalloc /dev/sda8 /mnt/ext4
for((i=0;i<5;i++))
do
cat /mnt/4096>>/mnt/ext4/a #4096 is a file with 4096 characters.
cat /mnt/4096>>/mnt/ext4/b
done
debuge4fs -R 'stat a' /dev/sda8|grep BLOCKS -A 1
And you get
BLOCKS:
(0-14):8705-8719, (15):2356, (16-19):8465-8468
So there are 3 extents, a bit strange for the lonely 15th logical
block. As we write to the 16 blocks, we choose file preallocation in
ext4_mb_group_or_file, but in ext4_mb_normalize_request, we meet with
the 16*1024 range, so no preallocation will be carried. file b then
reserves the space after '2356', so when when write 16, we start from
another part.
This patch just change the check in ext4_mb_group_or_file, so
that for the lonely 15 we will still use group preallocation.
After the patch, we will get:
debuge4fs -R 'stat a' /dev/sda8|grep BLOCKS -A 1
BLOCKS:
(0-15):8705-8720, (16-19):8465-8468

This also avoids spamming the logs, and specifically avoids
driver-level "attempt to access beyond end of device" errors obscure
what is really going on.
If you get *really*, *really*, *really* unlucky, without this patch, a
supposed indirect block containing garbage might contain a reference
to a primary block group descriptor, in which case
ext4_free_branches() could end up zero'ing out a block group
descriptor block, and if then one of the block bitmaps for a block
group described by that bg descriptor block is not in memory, and is
read in by ext4_read_block_bitmap(). This function calls
ext4_valid_block_bitmap(), which assumes that bg_inode_table() was
validated at mount time and hasn't been modified since. Since this
assumption is no longer valid, it's possible for the value
(ext4_inode_table(sb, desc) - group_first_block) to go negative, which
will cause ext4_find_next_zero_bit() to trigger a kernel GPF.

Add the facility for ext4_forget() to be called from

Also fix a bug in the extents migration code; it wasn't calling
ext4_forget() when releasing the indirect blocks during the
conversion. As a result, if the system cashed during or shortly after
the extents migration, and the released indirect blocks get reused as

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.

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.

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.

By avoiding the use of not-yet-used block groups (i.e., block groups
with the BLOCK_UNINIT flag), mballoc had a tendency to create large
files with large non-contiguous gaps. In addition avoiding the use of
new block groups had a tendency to push regular file data into the
first block group in a flex_bg group, which slows down the speed of
e2fsck pass 2, since it has a tendency to seek much more. For
example:

This was on a sample 80 gig root filesystem which was approximately
50% full. Note the improved e2fsck pass 2 performance, by over a
factor of 3, due to a decreased number of seeks. (The total amount of
I/O in pass 2 was unchanged; the layout of the directory blocks was
simply much better from e2fsck's's perspective.)
Other changes as a result of this patch on this sample filesystem:

Out of 640 block groups, of which 333 were in use, this patch caused
an extra 14 block groups to be utilized. The number of non-contiguous
files did go up slightly, but when measured against the 99.9% of the
files (603,154) which were contiguously allocated, this is pretty
insignificant.

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.

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:

Uses quota reservation/claim/release to handle quota properly for delayed
allocation in the three steps: 1) quotas are reserved when data being copied
to cache when block allocation is defered 2) when new blocks are allocated.
reserved quotas are converted to the real allocated quota, 2) over-booked
quotas for metadata blocks are released back.

This is for Red Hat bug 490026: EXT4 panic, list corruption in
ext4_mb_new_inode_pa
ext4_lock_group(sb, group) is supposed to protect this list for
each group, and a common code flow to remove an album is like
this:
ext4_get_group_no_and_offset(sb, pa->pa_pstart, &grp, NULL);
ext4_lock_group(sb, grp);
list_del(&pa->pa_group_list);
ext4_unlock_group(sb, grp);
so it's critical that we get the right group number back for
this prealloc context, to lock the right group (the one
associated with this pa) and prevent concurrent list manipulation.
however, ext4_mb_put_pa() passes in (pa->pa_pstart - 1) with a
comment, "-1 is to protect from crossing allocation group".
This makes sense for the group_pa, where pa_pstart is advanced
by the length which has been used (in ext4_mb_release_context()),
and when the entire length has been used, pa_pstart has been
advanced to the first block of the next group.
However, for inode_pa, pa_pstart is never advanced; it's just
set once to the first block in the group and not moved after
that. So in this case, if we subtract one in ext4_mb_put_pa(),
we are actually locking the *previous* group, and opening the
race with the other threads which do not subtract off the extra
block.

We need to make sure we update the block bitmap and clear
EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT flag with sb_bgl_lock held, since
ext4_read_block_bitmap() looks at EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT to decide
whether to initialize the block bitmap each time it is called
(introduced by commit c806e68f), and this can race with block
allocations in ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used().
ext4_read_block_bitmap does:
spin_lock(sb_bgl_lock(EXT4_SB(sb), block_group));
if (desc->bg_flags & cpu_to_le16(EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT)) {
ext4_init_block_bitmap(sb, bh, block_group, desc);
Now on the block allocation side we do
mb_set_bits(sb_bgl_lock(sbi, ac->ac_b_ex.fe_group), bitmap_bh->b_data,
ac->ac_b_ex.fe_start, ac->ac_b_ex.fe_len);
....
spin_lock(sb_bgl_lock(sbi, ac->ac_b_ex.fe_group));
if (gdp->bg_flags & cpu_to_le16(EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT)) {
gdp->bg_flags &= cpu_to_le16(~EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT);
ie on allocation we update the bitmap then we take the sb_bgl_lock
and clear the EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT flag. What can happen is a
parallel ext4_read_block_bitmap can zero out the bitmap in between
the above mb_set_bits and spin_lock(sb_bg_lock..)
The race results in below user visible errors

In ext4_mb_init_group(), if the filesystem block size is less than
PAGE_SIZE/2, the code tries to grab alloc_sem for multiple block
groups in a loop. We need to allow for this by using
down_write_nested() and passing in the loop index as a lock subclass
number. This works because no other code path needs to take multiple
alloc_sem's. Note that lockdep will fail for filesystem blocksize
smaller than to PAGE_SIZE/16k. (e.g., a 1k filesystem blocksize with

A few weeks ago I posted a patch for discussion that allowed ext4 to run
without a journal. Since that time I've integrated the excellent
comments from Andreas and fixed several serious bugs. We're currently
running with this patch and generating some performance numbers against
both ext2 (with backported reservations code) and ext4 with and without
a journal. It just so happens that running without a journal is
slightly faster for most everything.
We did
iozone -T -t 4 s 2g -r 256k -T -I -i0 -i1 -i2
which creates 4 threads, each of which create and do reads and writes on
a 2G file, with a buffer size of 256K, using O_DIRECT for all file opens
to bypass the page cache. Results:
ext2 ext4, default ext4, no journal
initial writes 13.0 MB/s 15.4 MB/s 15.7 MB/s
rewrites 13.1 MB/s 15.6 MB/s 15.9 MB/s
reads 15.2 MB/s 16.9 MB/s 17.2 MB/s
re-reads 15.3 MB/s 16.9 MB/s 17.2 MB/s
random readers 5.6 MB/s 5.6 MB/s 5.7 MB/s
random writers 5.1 MB/s 5.3 MB/s 5.4 MB/s
So it seems that, so far, this was a useful exercise.
