Now, ext4_free_blocks() doesn't revoke data blocks of per-file data
journalled inode and it can cause file data inconsistency problems.
Even though data blocks of per-file data journalled inode are already
forgotten by jbd2_journal_invalidatepage() in advance of invoking
ext4_free_blocks(), we still need to revoke the data blocks here.
Moreover some of the metadata blocks, which are not found by
sb_find_get_block(), are still needed to be revoked, but this is also
missing here.

When you repeatly execute xfstest generic/269 with bigalloc_1k option
enabled using the below command:
"./kvm-xfstests -c bigalloc_1k -m nodelalloc -C 1000 generic/269"
you can easily see the below bug message.
"JBD2 unexpected failure: jbd2_journal_revoke: !buffer_revoked(bh);"
This means that an already revoked buffer is erroneously revoked again
and it is caused by doing revoke for the buffer at the wrong position
in ext4_free_blocks(). We need to re-position the buffer revoke
procedure for an unspecified buffer after checking the cluster boundary
for bigalloc option. If not, some part of the cluster can be doubly
revoked.

Currently ext4_mb_good_group() only returns 0 or 1 depending on whether
the allocation group is suitable for use or not. However we might get
various errors and fail while initializing new group including -EIO
which would never get propagated up the call chain. This might lead to
an endless loop at writeback when we're trying to find a good group to
allocate from and we fail to initialize new group (read error for
example).
Fix this by returning proper error code from ext4_mb_good_group() and
using it in ext4_mb_regular_allocator(). In ext4_mb_regular_allocator()
we will always return only the first occurred error from
ext4_mb_good_group() and we only propagate it back to the caller if we
do not get any other errors and we fail to allocate any blocks.
Note that with other modes than errors=continue, we will fail
immediately in ext4_mb_good_group() in case of error, however with
errors=continue we should try to continue using the file system, that's
why we're not going to fail immediately when we see an error from
ext4_mb_good_group(), but rather when we fail to find a suitable block
group to allocate from due to an problem in group initialization.

This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the

which need access to more backing-dev details now include
backing-dev.h directly. This takes backing-dev.h off the common

"Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately

with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other
inconsistent operations.
This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().
Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().
This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up
with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
remove the obsolete accessors"

The EXT4_STATE_DELALLOC_RESERVED flag was originally implemented

calling ext4_mb_new_blocks().
Since then, we have mb_flags passed down through most of the code
paths, so getting rid of EXT4_STATE_DELALLOC_RESERVED isn't as tricky
as it used to.
This commit plumbs in the last of what is required, and then adds a

If we suffer a block allocation failure (for example due to a memory

ext4_discard_allocated_blocks() before we've actually allocated any
blocks. In that case, fe_len and fe_start in ac->ac_f_ex will still
be zero, and this will result in mb_free_blocks(inode, e4b, 0, 0)
triggering the BUG_ON on mb_free_blocks():
BUG_ON(last >= (sb->s_blocksize << 3));
Fix this by bailing out of ext4_discard_allocated_blocks() if fs_len

aops->write_begin may allocate a new page and make it visible only to have
mark_page_accessed called almost immediately after. Once the page is
visible the atomic operations are necessary which is noticable overhead
when writing to an in-memory filesystem like tmpfs but should also be
noticable with fast storage. The objective of the patch is to initialse
the accessed information with non-atomic operations before the page is
visible.
The bulk of filesystems directly or indirectly use
grab_cache_page_write_begin or find_or_create_page for the initial
allocation of a page cache page. This patch adds an init_page_accessed()
helper which behaves like the first call to mark_page_accessed() but may
called before the page is visible and can be done non-atomically.
The primary APIs of concern in this care are the following and are used
by most filesystems.
find_get_page
find_lock_page
find_or_create_page
grab_cache_page_nowait
grab_cache_page_write_begin
All of them are very similar in detail to the patch creates a core helper
pagecache_get_page() which takes a flags parameter that affects its
behavior such as whether the page should be marked accessed or not. Then
old API is preserved but is basically a thin wrapper around this core
function.
Each of the filesystems are then updated to avoid calling
mark_page_accessed when it is known that the VM interfaces have already
done the job. There is a slight snag in that the timing of the
mark_page_accessed() has now changed so in rare cases it's possible a page
gets to the end of the LRU as PageReferenced where as previously it might
have been repromoted. This is expected to be rare but it's worth the
filesystem people thinking about it in case they see a problem with the
timing change. It is also the case that some filesystems may be marking
pages accessed that previously did not but it makes sense that filesystems
have consistent behaviour in this regard.
The test case used to evaulate this is a simple dd of a large file done
multiple times with the file deleted on each iterations. The size of the
file is 1/10th physical memory to avoid dirty page balancing. In the
async case it will be possible that the workload completes without even
hitting the disk and will have variable results but highlight the impact
of mark_page_accessed for async IO. The sync results are expected to be
more stable. The exception is tmpfs where the normal case is for the "IO"
to not hit the disk.
The test machine was single socket and UMA to avoid any scheduling or NUMA
artifacts. Throughput and wall times are presented for sync IO, only wall
times are shown for async as the granularity reported by dd and the
variability is unsuitable for comparison. As async results were variable
do to writback timings, I'm only reporting the maximum figures. The sync
results were stable enough to make the mean and stddev uninteresting.
The performance results are reported based on a run with no profiling.
Profile data is based on a separate run with oprofile running.

I thought wow, 0 scanned, that's odd? But it's not odd; it's printing
a variable that is initialized to 0 and never touched again.
It's never been used since the original merge, so I don't really even
know what the original intent was, either.
If anyone knows how to hook it up, speak now via patch, otherwise just
yank it so it's not making a confusing situation more confusing in

The lowest levels of mballoc set all of the fields of struct
ext4_free_extent except for fe_logical, since they are just trying to
find the requested free set of blocks, and the logical block hasn't
been set yet. This makes some static code checkers sad. Set it to
various different debug values, which would be useful when
debugging mballoc if these values were to ever show up due to the
parts of mballoc triyng to use ac->ac_b_ex.fe_logical before it is
properly upper layers of mballoc failing to properly set, usually by
ext4_mb_use_best_found().

be lost. Set up new macros which allows us to make sure the right

When using FITRIM ioctl on a file system without journal it will
only trim the block group once, no matter how many times you invoke
FITRIM ioctl and how many block you release from the block group.
It is because we only clear EXT4_GROUP_INFO_WAS_TRIMMED_BIT in journal
callback. Fix this by clearing the bit in no journal mode as well.

When we notice a block-bitmap corruption (because of device failure or
something else), we should mark this group as corrupt and prevent
further block allocations/deallocations from it. Currently, we end up
generating one error message for every block in the bitmap. This
potentially could make the system unstable as noticed in some
bugs. With this patch, the error will be printed only the first time
and mark the entire block group as corrupted. This prevents future
access allocations/deallocations from it.
Also tested by corrupting the block
bitmap and forcefully introducing the mb_free_blocks error:
(1) create a largefile (2Gb)
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=largefile oflag=direct bs=10485760 count=200
(2) umount filesystem. use dumpe2fs to see which block-bitmaps
are in use by largefile and note their block numbers
(3) use dd to zero-out the used block bitmaps
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hdc4 bs=4096 seek=14 count=8 oflag=direct
(4) mount the FS and delete the largefile.
(5) recreate the largefile. verify that the new largefile does not
get any blocks from the groups marked as bad.
Without the patch, we will see mb_free_blocks error for each bit in
each zero'ed out bitmap at (4). With the patch, we only see the error
once per blockgroup:

reaim workfile.dbase test easily triggers warning in
ext4_da_update_reserve_space():
EXT4-fs warning (device ram0): ext4_da_update_reserve_space:365:
ino 12, allocated 1 with only 0 reserved metadata blocks (releasing 1
blocks with reserved 9 data blocks)
The problem is that (one of) tests creates file and then randomly writes
to it with O_SYNC. That results in writing back pages of the file in
random order so we create extents for written blocks say 0, 2, 4, 6, 8
- this last allocation also allocates new block for extents. Then we
writeout block 1 so we have extents 0-2, 4, 6, 8 and we release
indirect extent block because extents fit in the inode again. Then we
writeout block 10 and we need to allocate indirect extent block again
which triggers the warning because we don't have the reservation
anymore.
Fix the problem by giving back freed metadata blocks resulting from
extent merging into inode's reservation pool.

The filesystem should not be marked inconsistent if ext4_free_blocks()
is not able to allocate memory. Unfortunately some callers (most
notably ext4_truncate) don't have a way to reflect an error back up to
the VFS. And even if we did, most userspace applications won't deal
with most system calls returning ENOMEM anyway.

If memory allocation in ext4_mb_new_group_pa() is failed,
it returns error code, ext4_mb_new_preallocation() propages it,
but ext4_mb_new_blocks() ignores it.
An observed result was:
- allocation fail means ext4_mb_new_group_pa() does not update
ext4_allocation_context;
- ext4_mb_new_blocks() sets ext4_allocation_request->len (ar->len =
ac->ac_b_ex.fe_len;) to number of blocks preallocated (512) instead
of number of blocks requested (1);
- that activates update cycle in ext4_splice_branch():
for (i = 1; i < blks; i++) <-- blks is 512 instead of 1 here
*(where->p + i) = cpu_to_le32(current_block++);
- it iterates 511 times and corrupts a chunk of memory including inode
structure;
- page fault happens at EXT4_SB(inode->i_sb) in ext4_mark_inode_dirty();
- system hangs with 'scheduling while atomic' BUG.
The patch implements a check for ext4_mb_new_preallocation() error
code and handles its failure as if ext4_mb_regular_allocator() fails.

For a file systems with a very large number of block groups, if all of
the block group bitmaps are in memory and the file system is
relatively badly fragmented, it's possible ext4_mb_regular_allocator()
to take a long time trying to find a good match. This is especially
true if the tuning parameter mb_max_to_scan has been sent to a very
large number. So add a cond_resched() to avoid soft lockup warnings
and to provide better system responsiveness.
For ext4_free_blocks(), if we are deleting a large range of blocks,
and data=journal is enabled so that EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_FORGET is passed,
the loop to call sb_find_get_block() and to call ext4_forget() can
take over 10-15 milliseocnds or more. So it's better to add a
cond_resched() here a well.

ext4: revert "ext4: use io_end for multiple bios"
ext4: limit group search loop for non-extent files
ext4: fix fio regression
In the case where we are allocating for a non-extent file,
we must limit the groups we allocate from to those below
2^32 blocks, and ext4_mb_regular_allocator() attempts to
do this initially by putting a cap on ngroups for the
subsequent search loop.
However, the initial target group comes in from the
allocation context (ac), and it may already be beyond
the artificially limited ngroups. In this case,
the limit
if (group == ngroups)
group = 0;
at the top of the loop is never true, and the loop will
run away.
Catch this case inside the loop and reset the search to
start at group 0.
