2011-02-12ext4: make grpinfo slab cache names staticEric Sandeen
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).

2011-01-11ext4: fix trimming starting with block 0 with small blocksizeJan Kara
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.

2011-01-10ext4: remove ext4_mb_return_to_preallocation()Theodore Ts'o
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.

2011-01-10ext4: fix trimming of a single groupJan Kara
When ext4_trim_fs() is called to trim a part of a single group, the logic will wrongly set last block of the interval to 'len' instead of 'first_block + len'. Thus a shorter interval is possibly trimmed. Fix it.

Remove the short element i_delalloc_reserved_flag from the ext4_inode_info structure and replace it a new bit in i_state_flags.

2011-01-10ext4: remove warning message from ext4_issue_discard helperLukas Czerner
ext4_issue_discard is supposed to be helper for calling discard, however in case that underlying device does not support discard it prints out the warning message and clears the DISCARD t_mount_opt flag. Since it can be (and is) used by others, it should not do anything and let the caller to handle the error case. This commit removes warning message and flag setting from ext4_issue_discard and use it just in place where it is really needed (release_blocks_on_commit). FITRIM ioctl should not set any flags nor it should print out warning messages, so get rid of the warning as well. Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com>
2011-01-10ext4: fix possible overflow in ext4_trim_fs()Lukas Czerner

2010-11-08ext4: Don't call sb_issue_discard() in ext4_free_blocks()Theodore Ts'o
Commit 5c521830cf (ext4: Support discard requests when running in no-journal mode) attempts to add sb_issue_discard() for data blocks (in data=writeback mode) and in no-journal mode. Unfortunately, this no longer works, because in commit dd3932eddf (block: remove BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT), sb_issue_discard() only presents a synchronous interface, and there are times when we call ext4_free_blocks() when we are are holding a spinlock, or are otherwise in an atomic context. For now, I've removed the call to sb_issue_discard() to prevent a deadlock or (if spinlock debugging is enabled) failures like this: BUG: scheduling while atomic: rc.sysinit/1376/0x00000002 Pid: 1376, comm: rc.sysinit Not tainted 2.6.36-ARCH #1 Call Trace: [<ffffffff810397ce>] __schedule_bug+0x5e/0x70 [<ffffffff81403110>] schedule+0x950/0xa70 [<ffffffff81060bad>] ? insert_work+0x7d/0x90 [<ffffffff81060fbd>] ? queue_work_on+0x1d/0x30 [<ffffffff81061127>] ? queue_work+0x37/0x60 [<ffffffff8140377d>] schedule_timeout+0x21d/0x360 [<ffffffff812031c3>] ? generic_make_request+0x2c3/0x540 [<ffffffff81402680>] wait_for_common+0xc0/0x150 [<ffffffff81041490>] ? default_wake_function+0x0/0x10 [<ffffffff812034bc>] ? submit_bio+0x7c/0x100 [<ffffffff810680a0>] ? wake_bit_function+0x0/0x40 [<ffffffff814027b8>] wait_for_completion+0x18/0x20 [<ffffffff8120a969>] blkdev_issue_discard+0x1b9/0x210 [<ffffffff811ba03e>] ext4_free_blocks+0x68e/0xb60 [<ffffffff811b1650>] ? __ext4_handle_dirty_metadata+0x110/0x120 [<ffffffff811b098c>] ext4_ext_truncate+0x8cc/0xa70 [<ffffffff810d713e>] ? pagevec_lookup+0x1e/0x30 [<ffffffff81191618>] ext4_truncate+0x178/0x5d0 [<ffffffff810eacbb>] ? unmap_mapping_range+0xab/0x280 [<ffffffff810d8976>] vmtruncate+0x56/0x70 [<ffffffff811925cb>] ext4_setattr+0x14b/0x460 [<ffffffff811319e4>] notify_change+0x194/0x380 [<ffffffff81117f80>] do_truncate+0x60/0x90 [<ffffffff811e08fa>] ? security_inode_permission+0x1a/0x20 [<ffffffff811eaec1>] ? tomoyo_path_truncate+0x11/0x20 [<ffffffff81127539>] do_last+0x5d9/0x770 [<ffffffff811278bd>] do_filp_open+0x1ed/0x680 [<ffffffff8140644f>] ? page_fault+0x1f/0x30 [<ffffffff81132bfc>] ? alloc_fd+0xec/0x140 [<ffffffff81118db1>] do_sys_open+0x61/0x120 [<ffffffff81118e8b>] sys_open+0x1b/0x20 [<ffffffff81002e6b>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22302 Reported-by: Mathias Burén <mathias.buren@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: jiayingz@google.com

2010-10-27ext4: Add batched discard support for ext4Lukas Czerner
Walk through allocation groups and trim all free extents. It can be invoked through FITRIM ioctl on the file system. The main idea is to 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.

2010-10-27ext4: don't use ext4_allocation_contexts for tracingEric Sandeen
Many tracepoints were populating an ext4_allocation_context to pass in, but this requires a slab allocation even when tracepoints are off. In fact, 4 of 5 of these allocations were only for tracing. In addition, we were only using a small fraction of the 144 bytes of this structure for this purpose. We can do away with all these alloc/frees of the ac and simply pass in the bits we care about, instead. I tested this by turning on tracing and running through xfstests on x86_64.

2010-10-27ext4: use dedicated slab caches for group_info structuresCurt Wohlgemuth
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.

All the blkdev_issue_* helpers can only sanely be used for synchronous caller. To issue cache flushes or barriers asynchronously the caller needs to set up a bio by itself with a completion callback to move the asynchronous state machine ahead. So drop the BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT flag that is always specified when calling blkdev_issue_* and also remove the now unused flags argument to blkdev_issue_flush and blkdev_issue_zeroout.

2010-08-05ext4: Adding error check after calling ext4_mb_regular_allocator()Aditya Kali
If the bitmap block on disk is bad, ext4_mb_load_buddy() returns an error. This error is returned to the caller, ext4_mb_regular_allocator() and then to ext4_mb_new_blocks(). But ext4_mb_new_blocks() did not check for the return value of ext4_mb_regular_allocator() and would repeatedly try to load the bitmap block. The fix simply catches the return value and exits out of the 'repeat' loop after cleanup. We also take the opportunity to clean up the error handling in ext4_mb_new_blocks().

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.

2010-05-16ext4: check for a good block group before loading buddy pagesCurt Wohlgemuth
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 have check again after we lock the block group).

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.
