Users on the linux-ext4 list recently complained about differences
across filesystems w.r.t. how to mount without a journal replay.

When an inode gets unlinked, the functions ext4_clear_blocks() and

corresponding to the deleted inode's data blocks. If the inode is a

ext4_forget() will revoke them via jbd2_journal_revoke(). Otherwise,
if these blocks are reused for a data file, and the system crashes
before a journal checkpoint, the journal replay could end up
corrupting these data blocks.

ext4_move_extents() checks the logical block contiguousness
of original file with ext4_find_extent() and mext_next_extent().
Therefore the extent which ext4_ext_path structure indicates
must not be changed between above functions.
But in current implementation, there is no i_data_sem protection
between ext4_ext_find_extent() and mext_next_extent(). So the extent
which ext4_ext_path structure indicates may be overwritten by
delalloc. As a result, ext4_move_extents() will exchange wrong blocks
between original and donor files. I change the place where
acquire/release i_data_sem to solve this problem.
Moreover, I changed move_extent_per_page() to start transaction first,
and then acquire i_data_sem. Without this change, there is a
possibility of the deadlock between mmap() and ext4_move_extents():
* NOTE: "A", "B" and "C" mean different processes
A-1: ext4_ext_move_extents() acquires i_data_sem of two inodes.
B: do_page_fault() starts the transaction (T),
and then tries to acquire i_data_sem.
But process "A" is already holding it, so it is kept waiting.
C: While "A" and "B" running, kjournald2 tries to commit transaction (T)
but it is under updating, so kjournald2 waits for it.
A-2: Call ext4_journal_start with holding i_data_sem,
but transaction (T) is locked.

Previously add_dirent_to_buf() did not free its passed-in buffer head
in the case of ENOSPC, since in some cases the caller still needed it.
However, this led to potential buffer head leaks since not all callers
dealt with this correctly. Fix this by making simplifying the freeing
convention; now add_dirent_to_buf() *never* frees the passed-in buffer
head, and leaves that to the responsibility of its caller. This makes
things cleaner and easier to prove that the code is neither leaking
buffer heads or calling brelse() one time too many.

Commit 6487a9d was an attempt some buffer head leaks in an ENOSPC
error path, but in some cases it actually results in an excess ENOSPC,
as shown above. Fixing this means cleaning up who is responsible for
releasing the buffer heads from the callee to the caller of
add_dirent_to_buf().
Since that's a relatively complex change, and we're late in the rcX
development cycle, I'm reverting this now, and holding back a more
complete fix until after 2.6.32 ships. We've lived with this
buffer_head leak on ENOSPC in ext3 and ext4 for a very long time; a
few more months won't kill us.

split, ext4_split_unwritten_extents() was incorrectly returning 0
instead of the size of uninitialized extents. This bug caused the
wrong return value sent back to VFS code when it gets called from
async IO path, leading to an unnecessary fall back to buffered IO.
This bug also hid the fact that the check to see whether or not a
split would be necessary was incorrect; we can only skip splitting the

After a direct I/O request covering an uninitalized extent (i.e.,

zero on success.
This return value was getting returned by ext4_direct_IO(); however
the file system's direct_IO function is supposed to return the number

For async direct IO that covers holes or fallocate, the end_io
callback function now queued the convertion work on workqueue but
don't flush the work rightaway as it might take too long to afford.
But when fsync is called after all the data is completed, user expects
the metadata also being updated before fsync returns.
Thus we need to flush the conversion work when fsync() is called.
This patch keep track of a listed of completed async direct io that
has a work queued on workqueue. When fsync() is called, it will go

Currently the DIO VFS code passes create = 0 when writing to the
middle of file. It does this to avoid block allocation for holes, so
as not to expose stale data out when there is a parallel buffered read
(which does not hold the i_mutex lock). Direct I/O writes into holes
falls back to buffered IO for this reason.
Since preallocated extents are treated as holes when doing a
get_block() look up (buffer is not mapped), direct IO over fallocate
also falls back to buffered IO. Thus ext4 actually silently falls
back to buffered IO in above two cases, which is undesirable.
To fix this, this patch creates unitialized extents when a direct I/O
write into holes in sparse files, and registering an end_io callback which
converts the uninitialized extent to an initialized extent after the
I/O is completed.

Work around problems in the writeback code to force out writebacks in
larger chunks than just 4mb, which is just too small. This also works
around limitations in the ext4 block allocator, which can't allocate
more than 2048 blocks at a time. So we need to defeat the round-robin
characteristics of the writeback code and try to write out as many
blocks in one inode before allowing the writeback code to move on to
another inode. We add a a new per-filesystem tunable,
max_writeback_mb_bump, which caps this to a default of 128mb per

In an attempt to avoid doing an unneeded flush after opening a

triggered the hueristic if ei->disksize was non-zero. Turns out that
the VFS doesn't call ->truncate() if the file doesn't exist, and
ei->disksize is always zero even if the file previously existed. So

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.

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.

If logical block offset of original file which is passed to
EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT is different from donor file's,
a calculation error occurs in ext4_calc_swap_extents(),
therefore wrong block is exchanged between original file and donor file.
As a result, we hit ext4_error() in check_block_validity().
To detect the logical offset difference in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT,
add checks to mext_calc_swap_extents() and handle it as error,
since data exchange must be done between the same blocks in EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT.

Enable removing of corrupted pages through truncation

I chose the set of migration aware file systems for this

But in general it should be safe for all file systems

Caveat: the hardware error handler does not take i_mutex

Using relative pathnames in #include statements interacts badly with

Teach ext4_write_inode() and ext4_do_update_inode() about non-journal
mode: If we're not using a journal, ext4_write_inode() now calls
ext4_do_update_inode() (after getting the iloc via ext4_get_inode_loc())
with a new "do_sync" parameter. If that parameter is nonzero _and_ we're
not using a journal, ext4_do_update_inode() calls sync_dirty_buffer()
instead of ext4_handle_dirty_metadata().
This problem was found in power-fail testing, checking the amount of
loss of files and blocks after a power failure when using fsync() and
when not using fsync(). It turned out that using fsync() was actually
worse than not doing so, possibly because it increased the likelihood
that the inodes would remain unflushed and would therefore be lost at
the power failure.

When there is no journal present, we must attach buffer heads
associated with extent tree and indirect blocks to the inode's

When ext4 is using a journal, a metadata block which is deallocated
must be passed into the journal layer so it can be dropped from the
current transaction and/or revoked. This is done by calling the
functions ext4_journal_forget() and ext4_journal_revoke(), which call
jbd2_journal_forget(), and jbd2_journal_revoke(), respectively.
Since the jbd2_journal_forget() and jbd2_journal_revoke() call
bforget(), if ext4 is not using a journal, ext4_journal_forget() and
ext4_journal_revoke() must call bforget() to avoid a dirty metadata
block overwriting a block after it has been reallocated and reused for
another inode's data block.

The ext4_move_extents() functions checks with BUG_ON() whether the
exchanged blocks count accords with request blocks count. But, if the
target range (orig_start + len) includes sparse block(s), 'moved_len'
(exchanged blocks count) does not agree with 'len' (request blocks
count), since sparse block is not counted in 'moved_len'. This causes
us to hit the BUG_ON(), even though the function succeeded.

The mext_check_arguments() function in move_extents.c has wrong
comparisons. orig_start which is passed from user-space is block
unit, but i_size of inode is byte unit, therefore the checks do not

hits BUG_ON() in ext4_move_extents(). The patch fixes this issue.

the test at mount time for this situation was not being re-checked
on remount, and the normal boot process makes an ro->rw transition,
so this was being missed.

The test for non-overlapping PAs can be or'd for the start & end

it's essentially independently testing:
if (A + B <= C)

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.
