When ext4_insert_delayed block receives and recovers from an error from
ext4_es_insert_delayed_block(), e.g., ENOMEM, it does not release the
space it has reserved for that block insertion as it should. One effect
of this bug is that s_dirtyclusters_counter is not decremented and
remains incorrectly elevated until the file system has been unmounted.
This can result in premature ENOSPC returns and apparent loss of free
space.
Another effect of this bug is that
/sys/fs/ext4/<dev>/delayed_allocation_blocks can remain non-zero even
after syncfs has been executed on the filesystem.
Besides, add check for s_dirtyclusters_counter when inode is going to be
evicted and freed. s_dirtyclusters_counter can still keep non-zero until
inode is written back in .evict_inode(), and thus the check is delayed
to .destroy_inode().

Fix a bug in how we update i_disksize, and the error path in
inline_data_end. Finally, drop an unnecessary creation of a journal
handle which was only needed for inline data, which can give us a
large performance gain in delayed allocation writes.
Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>
After we factor out the inline data write procedure from
ext4_da_write_end(), we don't need to start journal handle for the cases
of both buffer overwrite and append-write. If we need to update
i_disksize, mark_inode_dirty() do start handle and update inode buffer.
So we could just remove all the journal handle codes in the delalloc
write procedure.
After this patch, we could get a lot of performance improvement. Below

Firstly, it should pass out the error value if ext4_get_inode_loc()

in ext4_journal_stop(), otherwise we could not restore inline xattr

upto i_size. If the end of the current write is <= i_size, there's no
need to touch i_disksize since writeback will push i_disksize upto

Ext4 orphan inode handling is a bottleneck for workloads which heavily
truncate / unlink small files since it contends on the global
s_orphan_mutex lock (and generally it's difficult to improve scalability
of the ondisk linked list of orphaned inodes).
This patch implements new way of handling orphan inodes. Instead of
linking orphaned inode into a linked list, we store it's inode number in
a new special file which we call "orphan file". Only if there's no more
space in the orphan file (too many inodes are currently orphaned) we
fall back to using old style linked list. Currently we protect
operations in the orphan file with a spinlock for simplicity but even in
this setting we can substantially reduce the length of the critical
section and thus speedup some workloads. In the next patch we improve
this by making orphan handling lockless.
Note that the change is backwards compatible when the filesystem is
clean - the existence of the orphan file is a compat feature, we set
another ro-compat feature indicating orphan file needs scanning for
orphaned inodes when mounting filesystem read-write. This ro-compat
feature gets cleared on unmount / remount read-only.

JBD2 layer support triggers which are called when journaling layer moves
buffer to a certain state. We can use the frozen trigger, which gets
called when buffer data is frozen and about to be written out to the
journal, to compute block checksums for some buffer types (similarly as
does ocfs2). This avoids unnecessary repeated recomputation of the
checksum (at the cost of larger window where memory corruption won't be
caught by checksumming) and is even necessary when there are
unsynchronized updaters of the checksummed data.
So add superblock and journal trigger type arguments to
ext4_journal_get_write_access() and ext4_journal_get_create_access() so
that frozen triggers can be set accordingly. Also add inode argument to
ext4_walk_page_buffers() and all the callbacks used with that function
for the same purpose. This patch is mostly only a change of prototype of
the above mentioned functions and a few small helpers. Real checksumming
will come later.

Pull idmapped mounts from Christian Brauner:
"This introduces idmapped mounts which has been in the making for some
time. Simply put, different mounts can expose the same file or
directory with different ownership. This initial implementation comes
with ports for fat, ext4 and with Christoph's port for xfs with more
filesystems being actively worked on by independent people and
maintainers.
Idmapping mounts handle a wide range of long standing use-cases. Here
are just a few:
- Idmapped mounts make it possible to easily share files between
multiple users or multiple machines especially in complex
scenarios. For example, idmapped mounts will be used in the
implementation of portable home directories in
systemd-homed.service(8) where they allow users to move their home
directory to an external storage device and use it on multiple
computers where they are assigned different uids and gids. This
effectively makes it possible to assign random uids and gids at
login time.
- It is possible to share files from the host with unprivileged
containers without having to change ownership permanently through
chown(2).
- It is possible to idmap a container's rootfs and without having to
mangle every file. For example, Chromebooks use it to share the
user's Download folder with their unprivileged containers in their
Linux subsystem.
- It is possible to share files between containers with
non-overlapping idmappings.
- Filesystem that lack a proper concept of ownership such as fat can
use idmapped mounts to implement discretionary access (DAC)
permission checking.
- They allow users to efficiently changing ownership on a per-mount
basis without having to (recursively) chown(2) all files. In
contrast to chown (2) changing ownership of large sets of files is
instantenous with idmapped mounts. This is especially useful when
ownership of a whole root filesystem of a virtual machine or
container is changed. With idmapped mounts a single syscall
mount_setattr syscall will be sufficient to change the ownership of
all files.
- Idmapped mounts always take the current ownership into account as
idmappings specify what a given uid or gid is supposed to be mapped
to. This contrasts with the chown(2) syscall which cannot by itself
take the current ownership of the files it changes into account. It
simply changes the ownership to the specified uid and gid. This is
especially problematic when recursively chown(2)ing a large set of
files which is commong with the aforementioned portable home
directory and container and vm scenario.
- Idmapped mounts allow to change ownership locally, restricting it
to specific mounts, and temporarily as the ownership changes only
apply as long as the mount exists.
Several userspace projects have either already put up patches and
pull-requests for this feature or will do so should you decide to pull
this:
- systemd: In a wide variety of scenarios but especially right away
in their implementation of portable home directories.
https://systemd.io/HOME_DIRECTORY/
- container runtimes: containerd, runC, LXD:To share data between
host and unprivileged containers, unprivileged and privileged
containers, etc. The pull request for idmapped mounts support in
containerd, the default Kubernetes runtime is already up for quite
a while now: https://github.com/containerd/containerd/pull/4734
- The virtio-fs developers and several users have expressed interest
in using this feature with virtual machines once virtio-fs is
ported.
- ChromeOS: Sharing host-directories with unprivileged containers.
I've tightly synced with all those projects and all of those listed
here have also expressed their need/desire for this feature on the
mailing list. For more info on how people use this there's a bunch of
talks about this too. Here's just two recent ones:
https://www.cncf.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Rootless-Containers-in-Gitpod.pdfhttps://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/containers_idmap/
This comes with an extensive xfstests suite covering both ext4 and
xfs:
https://git.kernel.org/brauner/xfstests-dev/h/idmapped_mounts
It covers truncation, creation, opening, xattrs, vfscaps, setid
execution, setgid inheritance and more both with idmapped and
non-idmapped mounts. It already helped to discover an unrelated xfs
setgid inheritance bug which has since been fixed in mainline. It will
be sent for inclusion with the xfstests project should you decide to
merge this.
In order to support per-mount idmappings vfsmounts are marked with
user namespaces. The idmapping of the user namespace will be used to
map the ids of vfs objects when they are accessed through that mount.
By default all vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace.
The initial user namespace is used to indicate that a mount is not
idmapped. All operations behave as before and this is verified in the
testsuite.
Based on prior discussions we want to attach the whole user namespace
and not just a dedicated idmapping struct. This allows us to reuse all
the helpers that already exist for dealing with idmappings instead of
introducing a whole new range of helpers. In addition, if we decide in
the future that we are confident enough to enable unprivileged users
to setup idmapped mounts the permission checking can take into account
whether the caller is privileged in the user namespace the mount is
currently marked with.
The user namespace the mount will be marked with can be specified by
passing a file descriptor refering to the user namespace as an
argument to the new mount_setattr() syscall together with the new
MOUNT_ATTR_IDMAP flag. The system call follows the openat2() pattern
of extensibility.
The following conditions must be met in order to create an idmapped
mount:
- The caller must currently have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN capability in the
user namespace the underlying filesystem has been mounted in.
- The underlying filesystem must support idmapped mounts.
- The mount must not already be idmapped. This also implies that the
idmapping of a mount cannot be altered once it has been idmapped.
- The mount must be a detached/anonymous mount, i.e. it must have
been created by calling open_tree() with the OPEN_TREE_CLONE flag
and it must not already have been visible in the filesystem.
The last two points guarantee easier semantics for userspace and the
kernel and make the implementation significantly simpler.
By default vfsmounts are marked with the initial user namespace and no
behavioral or performance changes are observed.
The manpage with a detailed description can be found here:
1d7b902e28
In order to support idmapped mounts, filesystems need to be changed
and mark themselves with the FS_ALLOW_IDMAP flag in fs_flags. The
patches to convert individual filesystem are not very large or
complicated overall as can be seen from the included fat, ext4, and
xfs ports. Patches for other filesystems are actively worked on and
will be sent out separately. The xfstestsuite can be used to verify
that port has been done correctly.
The mount_setattr() syscall is motivated independent of the idmapped
mounts patches and it's been around since July 2019. One of the most
valuable features of the new mount api is the ability to perform
mounts based on file descriptors only.
Together with the lookup restrictions available in the openat2()
RESOLVE_* flag namespace which we added in v5.6 this is the first time
we are close to hardened and race-free (e.g. symlinks) mounting and
path resolution.
While userspace has started porting to the new mount api to mount
proper filesystems and create new bind-mounts it is currently not
possible to change mount options of an already existing bind mount in
the new mount api since the mount_setattr() syscall is missing.
With the addition of the mount_setattr() syscall we remove this last
restriction and userspace can now fully port to the new mount api,
covering every use-case the old mount api could. We also add the
crucial ability to recursively change mount options for a whole mount
tree, both removing and adding mount options at the same time. This
syscall has been requested multiple times by various people and
projects.
There is a simple tool available at
https://github.com/brauner/mount-idmapped
that allows to create idmapped mounts so people can play with this
patch series. I'll add support for the regular mount binary should you
decide to pull this in the following weeks:

Extend some inode methods with an additional user namespace argument. A
filesystem that is aware of idmapped mounts will receive the user
namespace the mount has been marked with. This can be used for
additional permission checking and also to enable filesystems to
translate between uids and gids if they need to. We have implemented all
relevant helpers in earlier patches.
As requested we simply extend the exisiting inode method instead of
introducing new ones. This is a little more code churn but it's mostly
mechanical and doesnt't leave us with additional inode methods.

The posix acl permission checking helpers determine whether a caller is
privileged over an inode according to the acls associated with the
inode. Add helpers that make it possible to handle acls on idmapped
mounts.
The vfs and the filesystems targeted by this first iteration make use of
posix_acl_fix_xattr_from_user() and posix_acl_fix_xattr_to_user() to
translate basic posix access and default permissions such as the
ACL_USER and ACL_GROUP type according to the initial user namespace (or
the superblock's user namespace) to and from the caller's current user
namespace. Adapt these two helpers to handle idmapped mounts whereby we
either map from or into the mount's user namespace depending on in which
direction we're translating.
Similarly, cap_convert_nscap() is used by the vfs to translate user
namespace and non-user namespace aware filesystem capabilities from the
superblock's user namespace to the caller's user namespace. Enable it to
handle idmapped mounts by accounting for the mount's user namespace.
In addition the fileystems targeted in the first iteration of this patch
series make use of the posix_acl_chmod() and, posix_acl_update_mode()
helpers. Both helpers perform permission checks on the target inode. Let
them handle idmapped mounts. These two helpers are called when posix
acls are set by the respective filesystems to handle this case we extend
the ->set() method to take an additional user namespace argument to pass
the mount's user namespace down.

When file attributes are changed most filesystems rely on the
setattr_prepare(), setattr_copy(), and notify_change() helpers for
initialization and permission checking. Let them handle idmapped mounts.
If the inode is accessed through an idmapped mount map it into the
mount's user namespace. Afterwards the checks are identical to
non-idmapped mounts. If the initial user namespace is passed nothing
changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical behavior as before.
Helpers that perform checks on the ia_uid and ia_gid fields in struct
iattr assume that ia_uid and ia_gid are intended values and have already
been mapped correctly at the userspace-kernelspace boundary as we
already do today. If the initial user namespace is passed nothing
changes so non-idmapped mounts will see identical behavior as before.

There is no need to call ->dirty_inode for lazytime timestamp updates
(i.e. for __mark_inode_dirty(I_DIRTY_TIME)), since by the definition of
lazytime, filesystems must ignore these updates. Filesystems only need
to care about the updated timestamps when they expire.
Therefore, only call ->dirty_inode when I_DIRTY_INODE is set.

The only difference between __ext4_abort() and __ext4_error() is that
the former one ignores errors=continue mount option. Unify the code to
reduce duplication.

Xattr code using inodes with large xattr data can end up dropping last
inode reference (and thus deleting the inode) from places like
ext4_xattr_set_entry(). That function is called with transaction started
and so ext4_evict_inode() can deadlock against fs freezing like:
CPU1 CPU2
removexattr() freeze_super()
vfs_removexattr()
ext4_xattr_set()
handle = ext4_journal_start()
...
ext4_xattr_set_entry()
iput(old_ea_inode)
ext4_evict_inode(old_ea_inode)
sb->s_writers.frozen = SB_FREEZE_FS;
sb_wait_write(sb, SB_FREEZE_FS);
ext4_freeze()
jbd2_journal_lock_updates()
-> blocks waiting for all
handles to stop
sb_start_intwrite()
-> blocks as sb is already in SB_FREEZE_FS state
Generally it is advisable to delete inodes from a separate transaction
as it can consume quite some credits however in this case it would be
quite clumsy and furthermore the credits for inode deletion are quite
limited and already accounted for. So just tweak ext4_evict_inode() to
avoid freeze protection if we have transaction already started and thus
it is not really needed anyway.

There are currently multiple forms of assertion, such as J_ASSERT().
J_ASEERT() is provided for the jbd module, which is a public module.
Maybe we should use custom ASSERT() like other file systems, such as
xfs, which would be better.

Fast commit file system states are recorded in
sbi->s_mount_flags. Fast commit expects these bit manipulations to be
atomic. This patch adds helpers to make those modifications atomic.

In case of fast commits, determine if the inode is dirty by checking
if the inode is on fast commit list. This also helps us get rid of
ext4_inode_info.i_fc_committed_subtid field.

Firstly, pass handle to all ext4_fc_track_* functions and use
transaction id found in handle->h_transaction->h_tid for tracking fast
commit updates. Secondly, don't pass inode to
ext4_fc_track_link/create/unlink functions. inode can be found inside
these functions as d_inode(dentry). However, rename path is an
exeception. That's because in that case, we need inode that's not same
as d_inode(dentry). To handle that, add a couple of low-level wrapper
functions that take inode and dentry as arguments.

If inode gets evicted due to memory pressure, we have to remove it
from the fast commit list. However, that inode may have uncommitted
changes that fast commits will lose. So, just fall back to full
commits in this case. Also, rename the fast commit ineligiblity reason
from "EXT4_FC_REASON_MEM" to "EXT4_FC_REASON_MEM_NOMEM" for better
expression.

Commit afb585a97f "ext4: data=journal: write-protect pages on
j_submit_inode_data_buffers()") added calls ext4_jbd2_inode_add_write()
to track inode ranges whose mappings need to get write-protected during
transaction commits. However the added calls use wrong start of a range
(0 instead of page offset) and so write protection is not necessarily
effective. Use correct range start to fix the problem.

ext4_inode_datasync_dirty() needs to return 'true' if the inode is
dirty, 'false' otherwise, but the logic seems to be incorrectly changed
by commit aa75f4d3da ("ext4: main fast-commit commit path").
This introduces a problem with swap files that are always failing to be
activated, showing this error in dmesg:
[ 34.406479] swapon: file is not committed
Simple test case to reproduce the problem:
# fallocate -l 8G swapfile
# chmod 0600 swapfile
# mkswap swapfile
# swapon swapfile
Fix the logic to return the proper state of the inode.

During the stability test, there are some errors:
ext4_lookup:1590: inode #6967: comm fsstress: iget: checksum invalid.
If the inode->i_iblocks too big and doesn't set huge file flag, checksum
will not be recalculated when update the inode information to it's buffer.
If other inode marks the buffer dirty, then the inconsistent inode will
be flushed to disk.
Fix this problem by checking i_blocks in advance.

This patch adds fast commit recovery path support for Ext4 file
system. We add several helper functions that are similar in spirit to
e2fsprogs journal recovery path handlers. Example of such functions
include - a simple block allocator, idempotent block bitmap update
function etc. Using these routines and the fast commit log in the fast
commit area, the recovery path (ext4_fc_replay()) performs fast commit
log recovery.
