Non-full list of bugs:
1) uninitialized extent optimization does not hold page's lock,
and simply replace brunches after that writeback code goes
crazy because block mapping changed under it's feets
kernel BUG at fs/ext4/inode.c:1434! ( 288'th xfstress)
2) uninitialized extent may became initialized right after we
drop i_data_sem, so extent state must be rechecked
3) Locked pages goes uptodate via following sequence:
->readpage(page); lock_page(page); use_that_page(page)
But after readpage() one may invalidate it because it is
uptodate and unlocked (reclaimer does that)
As result kernel bug at include/linux/buffer_head.c:133!
4) We call write_begin() with already opened stansaction which
result in following deadlock:
->move_extent_per_page()
->ext4_journal_start()-> hold journal transaction
->write_begin()
->ext4_da_write_begin()
->ext4_nonda_switch()
->writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle() --> will wait for journal_stop()
5) try_to_release_page() may fail and it does fail if one of page's bh was
pinned by journal
6) If we about to change page's mapping we MUST hold it's lock during entire
remapping procedure, this is true for both pages(original and donor one)
Fixes:
- Avoid (1) and (2) simply by temproraly drop uninitialized extent handling
optimization, this will be reimplemented later.
- Fix (3) by manually forcing page to uptodate state w/o dropping it's lock
- Fix (4) by rearranging existing locking:
from: journal_start(); ->write_begin
to: write_begin(); journal_extend()
- Fix (5) simply by checking retvalue
- Fix (6) by locking both (original and donor one) pages during extent swap
with help of mext_page_double_lock()

When performing an online resize, we add a bunch of groups at one time
in ext4_flex_group_add, so in most cases a lot of group descriptors
will be in the same group block. But in the end of this function,
update_backups will be called for every group descriptor and the same
block will be copied and journalled again and again. It is really a

The update_backups() function is used to backup all the metadata
blocks, so we should not take it for granted that 'data' is pointed to
a super block and use ext4_superblock_csum_set to calculate the
checksum there. In case where the data is a group descriptor block,
it will corrupt the last group descriptor, and then e2fsck will
complain about it it.
As all the metadata checksums should already be OK when we do the
backup, remove the wrong ext4_superblock_csum_set and it should be
just fine.

In ext4_nonda_switch(), if the file system is getting full we used to
call writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle(). The problem is that we can be
holding i_mutex already, and this causes a potential deadlock when
writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle() when it tries to take s_umount. (See
lockdep output below).
As it turns out we don't need need to hold s_umount; the fact that we
are in the middle of the write(2) system call will keep the superblock
pinned. Unfortunately writeback_inodes_sb() checks to make sure
s_umount is taken, and the VFS uses a different mechanism for making
sure the file system doesn't get unmounted out from under us. The
simplest way of dealing with this is to just simply grab s_umount
using a trylock, and skip kicking the writeback flusher thread in the
very unlikely case that we can't take a read lock on s_umount without
blocking.
Also, we now check the cirteria for kicking the writeback thread
before we decide to whether to fall back to non-delayed writeback, so
if there are any outstanding delayed allocation writes, we try to get
them resolved as soon as possible.

i.e:

This was due to a bug in the logic regarding when to try converting

is large enough once, instead of multiple times through the resize

This is a revert of commit b56ff9d397, which removed the call to
ext4_issue_discard() to fix a BUG reported because
ext4_issue_discard() was being called from inside a block group
spinlock. As it turns out this bug had already been fixed by Lukas
Czerner in commit 53fdcf992d by the simple expedient of moving when
we call ext4_issue_discard() outside the spinlock.
So it should be safe to re-enable this functionality, which I tested
by putting an BUG_ON(in_atomic) just after the restored callsite to
ext4_issue_discard().

htree_dirblock_to_tree() declares a non-initialized 'err' variable,
which is passed as a reference to another functions expecting them to
set this variable with their error codes.
It's passed to ext4_bread(), which then passes it to ext4_getblk(). If
ext4_map_blocks() returns 0 due to a lookup failure, leaving the
ext4_getblk() buffer_head uninitialized, it will make ext4_getblk()
return to ext4_bread() without initialize the 'err' variable, and
ext4_bread() will return to htree_dirblock_to_tree() with this variable
still uninitialized. htree_dirblock_to_tree() will pass this variable
with garbage back to ext4_htree_fill_tree(), which expects a number of
directory entries added to the rb-tree. which, in case, might return a
fake non-zero value due the garbage left in the 'err' variable, leading
the kernel to an Oops in ext4_dx_readdir(), once this is expecting a
filled rb-tree node, when in turn it will have a NULL-ed one, causing an
invalid page request when trying to get a fname struct from this NULL-ed
rb-tree node in this line:
fname = rb_entry(info->curr_node, struct fname, rb_hash);
The patch itself initializes the err variable in
htree_dirblock_to_tree() to avoid usage mistakes by the called
functions, and also fix ext4_getblk() to return a initialized 'err'
variable when ext4_map_blocks() fails a lookup.

Previously, we allocated the s_flex_groups array to the maximum size
that the file system could be resized. There was two problems with
this approach. First, it wasted memory in the common case where the
file system was not resized. Secondly, once we start allowing online
resizing using the meta_bg scheme, there is no maximum size that the
file system can be resized. So instead, we need to grow the
s_flex_groups at inline resize time.

Currently in ext4 the length of zero-out chunk is set to 7 file system
blocks. But if an inode has uninitailized extents from using
fallocate to preallocate space, and the workload issues many random
writes, this can cause a fragmented extent tree that will
unnecessarily grow the extent tree.
So create a new sysfs tunable, extent_max_zeroout_kb, which controls
the maximum size where blocks will be zeroed out instead of creating a
new uninitialized extent. The default of this has been sent to 32kb.

Most hardware architectures require that data (including struct fields)
have to be aligned in memory. To make it happen compiler inserts padding
between struct fields if they are not aligned correctly.
Reorder fields to remove paddings and make structures denser. Making data
smaller saves some memory that is very important for trace events.
Tracing buffer has limited size and making objects smaller we can put more
of them without overflowing the tracing buffer.

Very large directories can cause significant performance problems, or
perhaps even invoke the OOM killer, if the process is running in a
highly constrained memory environment (whether it is VM's with a small
amount of memory or in a small memory cgroup).
So it is useful, in cloud server/data center environments, to be able
to set a filesystem-wide cap on the maximum size of a directory, to
ensure that directories never get larger than a sane size. We do this
via a new mount option, max_dir_size_kb. If there is an attempt to
grow the directory larger than max_dir_size_kb, the system call will
return ENOSPC instead.

If an inode has more than 4 extents, but then later some of the
extents are merged together, we can optimize the file system by moving
the extents up into the inode, and discarding the extent tree block.
This is important, because if there are a large number of inodes with
an external extent tree blocks where the contents could fit in the
inode, this can significantly increase the fsck time of the file
system.

needs to be set in the the superblock.)

While in ext4_validate_block_bitmap(), if an block allocation bitmap
is found to be invalid, we call ext4_error() while the block group is
still locked. This causes ext4_commit_super() to call a function
which might sleep while in an atomic context.
There's no need to keep the block group locked at this point, so hoist
the ext4_error() call up to ext4_validate_block_bitmap() and release
the block group spinlock before calling ext4_error().

Commit 03179fe923 introduced a kmemcheck complaint in
ext4_da_get_block_prep() because we save and restore
ei->i_da_metadata_calc_last_lblock even though it is left
uninitialized in the case where i_da_metadata_calc_len is zero.
This doesn't hurt anything, but silencing the kmemcheck complaint
makes it easier for people to find real bugs.
Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45631
(which is marked as a regression).

After we transfer set the EXT4_ERROR_FS bit in the file system
superblock, it's not enough to call jbd2_journal_clear_err() to clear
the error indication from journal superblock --- we need to call
jbd2_journal_update_sb_errno() as well. Otherwise, when the root file
system is mounted read-only, the journal is replayed, and the error
indicator is transferred to the superblock --- but the s_errno field
in the jbd2 superblock is left set (since although we cleared it in
memory, we never flushed it out to disk).
This can end up confusing e2fsck. We should make e2fsck more robust
in this case, but the kernel shouldn't be leaving things in this
confused state, either.
