ext4: do not normalize block requests from fallocate()
Currently, an fallocate request of size slightly larger than a power of
2 is turned into two block requests, each a power of 2, with the extra
blocks pre-allocated for future use. When an application calls
fallocate, it already has an idea about how large the file may grow so
there is usually little benefit to reserve extra blocks on the
preallocation list. This reduces disk fragmentation.
Tested: fsstress. Also verified manually that fallocat'ed files are
contiguously laid out with this change (whereas without it they begin at
power-of-2 boundaries, leaving blocks in between). CPU usage of
fallocate is not appreciably higher. In a tight fallocate loop, CPU
usage hovers between 5%-8% with this change, and 5%-7% without it.
Using a simulated file system aging program which the file system to
70%, the percentage of free extents larger than 8MB (as measured by
e2freefrag) increased from 38.8% without this change, to 69.4% with
this change.
This patch adds new routines: "ext4_punch_hole" "ext4_ext_punch_hole"
and "ext4_ext_check_cache"
fallocate has been modified to call ext4_punch_hole when the punch hole
flag is passed. At the moment, we only support punching holes in
extents, so this routine is pretty much a wrapper for the ext4_ext_punch_hole
routine.
The ext4_ext_punch_hole routine first completes all outstanding writes
with the associated pages, and then releases them. The unblock
aligned data is zeroed, and all blocks in between are punched out.
The ext4_ext_check_cache routine is very similar to ext4_ext_in_cache
except it accepts a ext4_ext_cache parameter instead of a ext4_extent
parameter. This routine is used by ext4_ext_punch_hole to check and
see if a block in a hole that has been cached. The ext4_ext_cache
parameter is necessary because the members ext4_extent structure are
not large enough to hold a 32 bit value. The existing
ext4_ext_in_cache routine has become a wrapper to this new function.
This patch adds a new flag to ext4_map_blocks() that specifies the
given range of blocks should be punched out. Extents are first
converted to uninitialized extents before they are punched
out. Because punching a hole may require that the extent be split, it
is possible that the splitting may need more blocks than are
available. To deal with this, use of reserved blocks are enabled to
allow the split to proceed.
The routine then returns the number of blocks successfully
punched out.
This patch modifies the truncate routines to support hole punching
Below is a brief summary of the patches changes:
- Added end param to ext_ext4_rm_leaf
This function has been modified to accept an end parameter
which enables it to punch holes in leafs instead of just
truncating them.
- Implemented the "remove head" case in the ext_remove_blocks routine
This routine is used by ext_ext4_rm_leaf to remove the tail
of an extent during a truncate. The new ext_ext4_rm_leaf
routine will now also use it to remove the head of an extent in the
case that the hole covers a region of blocks at the beginning
of an extent.
- Added "end" param to ext4_ext_remove_space routine
This function has been modified to accept a stop parameter, which
is passed through to ext4_ext_rm_leaf.
ext4: add new function ext4_block_zero_page_range()
This patch modifies the existing ext4_block_truncate_page() function
which was used by the truncate code path, and which zeroes out block
unaligned data, by adding a new length parameter, and renames it to
ext4_block_zero_page_rage(). This function can now be used to zero out the
head of a block, the tail of a block, or the middle
of a block.
The ext4_block_truncate_page() function is now a wrapper to
ext4_block_zero_page_range().
This patch adds an allocation request flag to the ext4_has_free_blocks
function which enables the use of reserved blocks. This will allow a
punch hole to proceed even if the disk is full. Punching a hole may
require additional blocks to first split the extents.
Because ext4_has_free_blocks is a low level function, the flag needs
to be passed down through several functions listed below:

ext4: fix waiting and sending of a barrier in ext4_sync_file()

Also we have to be more careful with sending of a barrier because when
transaction is being committed in parallel to ext4_sync_file()
running, we cannot be sure that the barrier the journalling code sends
happens after we wrote all the data for fsync (note that not every
data writeout needs to trigger metadata changes thus commit of some
metadata changes can be running while other data is still written
out). So use jbd2_will_send_data_barrier() helper to detect the common

ext4: use truncate_setsize() unconditionally
In commit c8d46e41 (ext4: Add flag to files with blocks intentionally
past EOF), if the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag is set, we call ext4_truncate()

EOFBLOCKS_FL would not be cleared while still leaving blocks past
i_size allocated. This was not necessary, since ext4_truncate()

where truncate() has increased i_size before calling ext4_truncate().
So fix this by removing the EOFBLOCKS_FL special case treatment in
ext4_setattr(). In addition, use truncate_setsize() followed by a

efficient since it skips the call to inode_newsize_ok(), which has
been checked already by inode_change_ok(). This is also in a win in
the case where EOFBLOCKS_FL is set since it avoids calling

We fix this by replacing the use of tid_geq() with an equality test,

unaffected by success/failure of the write to disk.
This can cause a page corruption bug when the file system's
block size is less than the architecture's VM page size.
if we have only written a single block -- we might end up
setting the page's PageUptodate flag, indicating that page
is completely read into memory, which may not be true.
This could cause subsequent reads to get bad data.
This commit also takes the opportunity to clean up error
handling in ext4_end_bio(), and remove some extraneous code:
- fixes ext4_end_bio() to set AS_EIO in the
page->mapping->flags on error, which was left out by
mistake. This is needed so that fsync() will
return an error if there was an I/O error.
- remove the clear_buffer_dirty() call on unmapped
buffers for each page.
- consolidate page/buffer error handling in a single
section.

ext4: check for ext[23] file system features when mounting as ext[23]
Provide better emulation for ext[23] mode by enforcing that the file
system does not have any unsupported file system features as defined
by ext[23] when emulating the ext[23] file system driver when
CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23 is defined.
This causes the file system type information in /proc/mounts to be
correct for the automatically mounted root file system. This also
means that "mount -t ext2 /dev/sda /mnt" will fail if /dev/sda
contains an ext3 or ext4 file system, just as one would expect if the
original ext2 file system driver were in use.

xfs: push the AIL from memory reclaim and periodic sync
When we are short on memory, we want to expedite the cleaning of
dirty objects. Hence when we run short on memory, we need to kick
the AIL flushing into action to clean as many dirty objects as
quickly as possible. To implement this, sample the lsn of the log
item at the head of the AIL and use that as the push target for the
AIL flush.
Further, we keep items in the AIL that are dirty that are not
tracked any other way, so we can get objects sitting in the AIL that
don't get written back until the AIL is pushed. Hence to get the
filesystem to the idle state, we might need to push the AIL to flush
out any remaining dirty objects sitting in the AIL. This requires
the same push mechanism as the reclaim push.

xfs: introduce background inode reclaim work
Background inode reclaim needs to run more frequently that the XFS
syncd work is run as 30s is too long between optimal reclaim runs.
Add a new periodic work item to the xfs syncd workqueue to run a
fast, non-blocking inode reclaim scan.
Background inode reclaim is kicked by the act of marking inodes for
reclaim. When an AG is first marked as having reclaimable inodes,
the background reclaim work is kicked. It will continue to run
periodically untill it detects that there are no more reclaimable
inodes. It will be kicked again when the first inode is queued for
reclaim.
To ensure shrinker based inode reclaim throttles to the inode
cleaning and reclaim rate but still reclaim inodes efficiently, make it kick the
background inode reclaim so that when we are low on memory we are
trying to reclaim inodes as efficiently as possible. This kick shoul
d not be necessary, but it will protect against failures to kick the
background reclaim when inodes are first dirtied.
To provide the rate throttling, make the shrinker pass do
synchronous inode reclaim so that it blocks on inodes under IO. This
means that the shrinker will reclaim inodes rather than just
skipping over them, but it does not adversely affect the rate of
reclaim because most dirty inodes are already under IO due to the
background reclaim work the shrinker kicked.
These two modifications solve one of the two OOM killer invocations
Chris Mason reported recently when running a stress testing script.
The particular workload trigger for the OOM killer invocation is
where there are more threads than CPUs all unlinking files in an
extremely memory constrained environment. Unlike other solutions,
this one does not have a performance impact on performance when
memory is not constrained or the number of concurrent threads
operating is <= to the number of CPUs.

xfs: convert ENOSPC inode flushing to use new syncd workqueue
On of the problems with the current inode flush at ENOSPC is that we
queue a flush per ENOSPC event, regardless of how many are already
queued. Thi can result in hundreds of queued flushes, most of
which simply burn CPU scanned and do no real work. This simply slows
down allocation at ENOSPC.
We really only need one active flush at a time, and we can easily
implement that via the new xfs_syncd_wq. All we need to do is queue
a flush if one is not already active, then block waiting for the
currently active flush to complete. The result is that we only ever
have a single ENOSPC inode flush active at a time and this greatly
reduces the overhead of ENOSPC processing.
On my 2p test machine, this results in tests exercising ENOSPC
conditions running significantly faster - 042 halves execution time,
083 drops from 60s to 5s, etc - while not introducing test
regressions.
This allows us to remove the old xfssyncd threads and infrastructure
as they are no longer used.

For laptop mode, we wait on completion for the sync works, so ensure
that the sync work queuing interface can flush and wait for work to

xfs: fix extent format buffer allocation size
When formatting an inode item, we have to allocate a separate buffer
to hold extents when there are delayed allocation extents on the
inode and it is in extent format. The allocation size is derived
from the in-core data fork representation, which accounts for
delayed allocation extents, while the on-disk representation does
not contain any delalloc extents.
As a result of this mismatch, the allocated buffer can be far larger
than needed to hold the real extent list which, due to the fact the
inode is in extent format, is limited to the size of the literal
area of the inode. However, we can have thousands of delalloc
extents, resulting in an allocation size orders of magnitude larger
than is needed to hold all the real extents.
Fix this by limiting the size of the buffer being allocated to the
size of the literal area of the inodes in the filesystem (i.e. the
maximum size an inode fork can grow to).
