EXT4_IO_END_UNWRITTEN flag set and the increase of i_aiodio_unwritten
should be done simultaneously since ext4_end_io_nolock always clear
the flag and decrease the counter in the same time.
We have found some bugs that the flag is set while leaving
i_aiodio_unwritten unchanged(commit 32c80b32c0). So this patch just tries
to create a helper function to wrap them to avoid any future bug.
The idea is inspired by Eric.

ext4_ext_insert_extent() (respectively ext4_ext_insert_index())
was using EXT_MAX_EXTENT() (resp. EXT_MAX_INDEX()) to determine
how many entries needed to be moved beyond the insertion point.
In practice this means that (320 - I) * 24 bytes were memmove()'d
when I is the insertion point, rather than (#entries - I) * 24 bytes.
This patch uses EXT_LAST_EXTENT() (resp. EXT_LAST_INDEX()) instead
to only move existing entries. The code flow is also simplified
slightly to highlight similarities and reduce code duplication in
the insertion logic.
This patch reduces system CPU consumption by over 25% on a 4kB
synchronous append DIO write workload when used with the
pre-2.6.39 x86_64 memmove() implementation. With the much faster
2.6.39 memmove() implementation we still see a decrease in
system CPU usage between 2% and 7%.
Note that the ext_debug() output changes with this patch, splitting
some log information between entries. Users of the ext_debug() output
should note that the "move %d" units changed from reporting the number
of bytes moved to reporting the number of entries moved.

This patch introduces a fast path in ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized()
for the case when the conversion can be performed by transferring
the newly initialized blocks from the uninitialized extent into
an adjacent initialized extent. Doing so removes the expensive
invocations of memmove() which occur during extent insertion and
the subsequent merge.
In practice this should be the common case for clients performing
append writes into files pre-allocated via
fallocate(FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE). In such a workload performed via
direct IO and when using a suboptimal implementation of memmove()
(x86_64 prior to the 2.6.39 rewrite), this patch reduces kernel CPU
consumption by 32%.
Two new trace points are added to ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized()
to offer visibility into its operations. No exit trace point has
been added due to the multiplicity of return points. This can be
revisited once the upstream cleanup is backported.

When we want to convert the unitialized extent in direct write, we can
either do it in ext4_end_io_nolock(AIO case) or in
ext4_ext_direct_IO(non AIO case) and EXT4_I(inode)->cur_aio_dio is a
guard for ext4_ext_map_blocks to find the right case. In e9e3bcecf,
we mistakenly change it by:
- if (io)
+ if (io && !(io->flag & EXT4_IO_END_UNWRITTEN)) {
io->flag = EXT4_IO_END_UNWRITTEN;
- else
+ atomic_inc(&EXT4_I(inode)->i_aiodio_unwritten);
+ } else
ext4_set_inode_state(inode,
EXT4_STATE_DIO_UNWRITTEN);
So now if we map 2 blocks, and the first one set the
EXT_IO_END_UNWRITTEN, the 2nd mapping will set inode state because of
the check for the flag. This is wrong.

Currently, there exists a race between delayed allocated writes and
the writeback when bigalloc feature is in use. The race was because we
wanted to determine what blocks in a cluster are under delayed
allocation and we were using buffer_delayed(bh) check for it. But, the
writeback codepath clears this bit without any synchronization which
resulted in a race and an ext4 warning similar to:
EXT4-fs (ram1): ext4_da_update_reserve_space: ino 13, used 1 with only 0
reserved data blocks
The race existed in two places.
(1) between ext4_find_delalloc_range() and ext4_map_blocks() when called from
writeback code path.
(2) between ext4_find_delalloc_range() and ext4_da_get_block_prep() (where
buffer_delayed(bh) is set.
To fix (1), this patch introduces a new buffer_head state bit -
BH_Da_Mapped. This bit is set under the protection of
EXT4_I(inode)->i_data_sem when we have actually mapped the delayed
allocated blocks during the writeout time. We can now reliably check
for this bit inside ext4_find_delalloc_range() to determine whether
the reservation for the blocks have already been claimed or not.
To fix (2), it was necessary to set buffer_delay(bh) under the
protection of i_data_sem. So, I extracted the very beginning of
ext4_map_blocks into a new function - ext4_da_map_blocks() - and
performed the required setting of bh_delay bit and the quota
reservation under the protection of i_data_sem. These two fixes makes
the checking of buffer_delay(bh) and buffer_da_mapped(bh) consistent,
thus removing the race.
Tested: I was able to reproduce the problem by running 'dd' and
'fsync' in parallel. Also, xfstests sometimes used to reproduce this
race. After the fix both my test and xfstests were successful and no
race (warning message) was observed.

This bug happens because the truncate routine only zeros

that the block aligned portions of the page appearing after
i_size are left unzeroed, and the buffer heads still mapped.

This patch fixes a second punch hole bug found by xfstests 127.
This bug happens because punch hole needs to flush the pages
of the hole to avoid race conditions. But if the end of the
hole is in the same page as i_size, the buffer heads beyond
i_size need to be unmapped and the page needs to be zeroed
after it is flushed.
To correct this, the new ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers
routine is used to zero and unmap the partial page
beyond i_size if the end of the hole appears in the same
page as i_size.
The code has also been optimized to set the end of the hole
to the page after i_size if the specified hole exceeds i_size,
and the code that flushes the pages has been simplified.

This patch addresses a bug found by xfstests 75, 112, 127
when blocksize = 1k
This bug happens because the punch hole code only zeros
out non block aligned regions of the page. This means that if the
blocks are smaller than a page, then the block aligned regions of
the page inside the hole are left un-zeroed, and their buffer heads
are still mapped. This bug is corrected by using
ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers to properly zero the partial page
at the head and tail of the hole, and unmap the corresponding buffer
heads
This patch also addresses a bug reported by Lukas while working on a
new patch to add discard support for loop devices using punch hole.
The bug happened because of the first and last block number
needed to be cast to a larger data type before calculating the

of the blocks. The code to do the block offset calculations is

The current implementation of ext4_free_blocks() always calls
dquot_free_block This looks quite sensible in the most cases: blocks
to be freed are associated with inode and were accounted in quota and
i_blocks some time ago.
However, there is a case when blocks to free were not accounted by the
time calling ext4_free_blocks() yet:
1. delalloc is on, write_begin pre-allocated some space in quota
2. write-back happens, ext4 allocates some blocks in ext4_ext_map_blocks()
3. then ext4_ext_map_blocks() gets an error (e.g. ENOSPC) from
ext4_ext_insert_extent() and calls ext4_free_blocks().
In this scenario, ext4_free_blocks() calls dquot_free_block() who, in
turn, decrements i_blocks for blocks which were not accounted yet (due
to delalloc) After clean umount, e2fsck reports something like:
> Inode 21, i_blocks is 5080, should be 5128. Fix<y>?
because i_blocks was erroneously decremented as explained above.
The patch fixes the problem by passing the new flag
EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_NO_QUOT_UPDATE to ext4_free_blocks(), to request
that the dquot_free_block() call be skipped.

Currently we are not marking the extent as the last one
(FIEMAP_EXTENT_LAST) if there is a hole at the end of the file. This is
because we just do not check for it right now and continue searching for
next extent. But at the point we hit the hole at the end of the file, it
is too late.
This commit adds check for the allocated block in subsequent extent and
if there is no more extents (block = EXT_MAX_BLOCKS) just flag the
current one as the last one.
This behaviour has been spotted unintentionally by 252 xfstest, when the
test hangs out, because of wrong loop condition. However on other
filesystems (like xfs) it will exit anyway, because we notice the last
extent flag and exit.
With this patch xfstest 252 does not hang anymore, ext4 fiemap

Kazuya Mio reported that he was able to hit BUG_ON(next == lblock)
in ext4_ext_put_gap_in_cache() while creating a sparse file in extent
format and fill the tail of file up to its end. We will hit the BUG_ON
when we write the last block (2^32-1) into the sparse file.
The root cause of the problem lies in the fact that we specifically set
s_maxbytes so that block at s_maxbytes fit into on-disk extent format,
which is 32 bit long. However, we are not storing start and end block
number, but rather start block number and length in blocks. It means
that in order to cover extent from 0 to EXT_MAX_BLOCK we need
EXT_MAX_BLOCK+1 to fit into len (because we counting block 0 as well) -
and it does not.
The only way to fix it without changing the meaning of the struct
ext4_extent members is, as Kazuya Mio suggested, to lower s_maxbytes
by one fs block so we can cover the whole extent we can get by the
on-disk extent format.
Also in many places EXT_MAX_BLOCK is used as length instead of maximum
logical block number as the name suggests, it is all a bit messy. So
this commit renames it to EXT_MAX_BLOCKS and change its usage in some
places to actually be maximum number of blocks in the extent.
The bug which this commit fixes can be reproduced as follows:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/file bs=<blocksize> count=1 seek=$((2**32-2))

dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/file bs=<blocksize> count=1 seek=$((2**32-1))

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

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.

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_ext_insert_extent
ext4_ext_create_new_leaf
ext4_ext_grow_indepth
ext4_ext_split
ext4_ext_new_meta_block
ext4_mb_new_blocks
ext4_claim_free_blocks
ext4_has_free_blocks

To get delayed-extent information, ext4_ext_fiemap_cb() looks up
pagecache, it thus collects information starting from a page's
head block.
If blocksize < pagesize, the beginning blocks of a page may lies
before the request range. So ext4_ext_fiemap_cb() should proceed
ignoring them, because they has been handled before. If no mapped
buffer in the range is found in the 1st page, we need to look up
the 2nd page, otherwise delayed-extents after a hole will be ignored.
Without this patch, xfstests 225 will hung on ext4 with 1K block.
