Setting a large xattr value may require writing the attribute contents
to an external inode. In this case we may need to lock the xattr inode
along with the parent inode. This doesn't pose a deadlock risk because
xattr inodes are not directly visible to the user and their access is
restricted.
Assign a lockdep subclass to xattr inode's lock.

Large xattr support is implemented for EXT4_FEATURE_INCOMPAT_EA_INODE.
If the size of an xattr value is larger than will fit in a single
external block, then the xattr value will be saved into the body
of an external xattr inode.
The also helps support a larger number of xattr, since only the headers
will be stored in the in-inode space or the single external block.
The inode is referenced from the xattr header via "e_value_inum",
which was formerly "e_value_block", but that field was never used.
The e_value_size still contains the xattr size so that listing
xattrs does not need to look up the inode if the data is not accessed.
struct ext4_xattr_entry {
__u8 e_name_len; /* length of name */
__u8 e_name_index; /* attribute name index */
__le16 e_value_offs; /* offset in disk block of value */
__le32 e_value_inum; /* inode in which value is stored */
__le32 e_value_size; /* size of attribute value */
__le32 e_hash; /* hash value of name and value */
char e_name[0]; /* attribute name */
};
The xattr inode is marked with the EXT4_EA_INODE_FL flag and also
holds a back-reference to the owning inode in its i_mtime field,
allowing the ext4/e2fsck to verify the correct inode is accessed.

page fault page fault
... ...
ext4_map_blocks()
ext4_ext_map_blocks()
ext4_ext_handle_unwritten_extents()
ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized()

ext4_zeroout_es()
- inserts extent as initialized in status tree
ext4_map_blocks()
ext4_es_lookup_extent()
- finds initialized extent
write data
ext4_issue_zeroout()
- zeroes out new extent overwriting data
This problem can be reproduced by generic/340 for the fallocated case
for the last block in the file.
Fix the problem by avoiding zeroing out the area we are mapping with
ext4_map_blocks() in ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized(). It is pointless
to zero out this area in the first place as the caller asked us to
convert the area to initialized because he is just going to write data
there before the transaction finishes. To achieve this we delete the
special case of zeroing out full extent as that will be handled by the
cases below zeroing only the part of the extent that needs it. We also
instruct ext4_split_extent() that the middle of extent being split
contains data so that ext4_split_extent_at() cannot zero out full extent
in case of ENOSPC.

ext4_find_unwritten_pgoff() is used to search for offset of hole or
data in page range [index, end] (both inclusive), and the max number
of pages to search should be at least one, if end == index.
Otherwise the only page is missed and no hole or data is found,
which is not correct.
When block size is smaller than page size, this can be demonstrated
by preallocating a file with size smaller than page size and writing
data to the last block. E.g. run this xfs_io command on a 1k block
size ext4 on x86_64 host.
# xfs_io -fc "falloc 0 3k" -c "pwrite 2k 1k" \
-c "seek -d 0" /mnt/ext4/testfile

Whence Result
DATA EOF
Data at offset 2k was missed, and lseek(2) returned ENXIO.
This is unconvered by generic/285 subtest 07 and 08 on ppc64 host,
where pagesize is 64k. Because a recent change to generic/285
reduced the preallocated file size to smaller than 64k.

Currently, SEEK_HOLE implementation in ext4 may both return that there's
a hole at some offset although that offset already has data and skip
some holes during a search for the next hole. The first problem is
demostrated by:
xfs_io -c "falloc 0 256k" -c "pwrite 0 56k" -c "seek -h 0" file
wrote 57344/57344 bytes at offset 0
56 KiB, 14 ops; 0.0000 sec (2.054 GiB/sec and 538461.5385 ops/sec)
Whence Result
HOLE 0
Where we can see that SEEK_HOLE wrongly returned offset 0 as containing
a hole although we have written data there. The second problem can be
demonstrated by:
xfs_io -c "falloc 0 256k" -c "pwrite 0 56k" -c "pwrite 128k 8k"
-c "seek -h 0" file
wrote 57344/57344 bytes at offset 0

wrote 8192/8192 bytes at offset 131072
8 KiB, 2 ops; 0.0000 sec (2 GiB/sec and 500000.0000 ops/sec)
Whence Result
HOLE 139264
Where we can see that hole at offsets 56k..128k has been ignored by the
SEEK_HOLE call.
The underlying problem is in the ext4_find_unwritten_pgoff() which is
just buggy. In some cases it fails to update returned offset when it
finds a hole (when no pages are found or when the first found page has
higher index than expected), in some cases conditions for detecting hole
are just missing (we fail to detect a situation where indices of
returned pages are not contiguous).
Fix ext4_find_unwritten_pgoff() to properly detect non-contiguous page
indices and also handle all cases where we got less pages then expected
in one place and handle it properly there.

- Ben's attention to detail on -stable patch submissions caught a
case where the recent fixes to arch_copy_from_iter_pmem() missed a
condition where we strand dirty data in the cache. This is tagged
for -stable and will also be included in the rework of the pmem api
to a proposed {memcpy,copy_user}_flushcache() interface for 4.13.
- Vishal adds a feature that missed the initial pull due to pending
review feedback. It allows the kernel to clear media errors when
initializing a BTT (atomic sector update driver) instance on a pmem
namespace.
- Ross noticed that the dax_device + dax_operations conversion broke
__dax_zero_page_range(). The nvdimm unit tests fail to check this
path, but xfstests immediately trips over it. No excuse for missing
this before submitting the 4.12 pull request.

Patch series "kvmalloc", v5.
There are many open coded kmalloc with vmalloc fallback instances in the
tree. Most of them are not careful enough or simply do not care about
the underlying semantic of the kmalloc/page allocator which means that
a) some vmalloc fallbacks are basically unreachable because the kmalloc
part will keep retrying until it succeeds b) the page allocator can
invoke a really disruptive steps like the OOM killer to move forward
which doesn't sound appropriate when we consider that the vmalloc
fallback is available.
As it can be seen implementing kvmalloc requires quite an intimate
knowledge if the page allocator and the memory reclaim internals which
strongly suggests that a helper should be implemented in the memory
subsystem proper.
Most callers, I could find, have been converted to use the helper
instead. This is patch 6. There are some more relying on __GFP_REPEAT
in the networking stack which I have converted as well and Eric Dumazet
was not opposed [2] to convert them as well.
[1] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20170130094940.13546-1-mhocko@kernel.org
[2] http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1485273626.16328.301.camel@edumazet-glaptop3.roam.corp.google.com
This patch (of 9):
Using kmalloc with the vmalloc fallback for larger allocations is a
common pattern in the kernel code. Yet we do not have any common helper
for that and so users have invented their own helpers. Some of them are
really creative when doing so. Let's just add kv[mz]alloc and make sure
it is implemented properly. This implementation makes sure to not make
a large memory pressure for > PAGE_SZE requests (__GFP_NORETRY) and also
to not warn about allocation failures. This also rules out the OOM
killer as the vmalloc is a more approapriate fallback than a disruptive
user visible action.
This patch also changes some existing users and removes helpers which
are specific for them. In some cases this is not possible (e.g.
ext4_kvmalloc, libcfs_kvzalloc) because those seems to be broken and
require GFP_NO{FS,IO} context which is not vmalloc compatible in general
(note that the page table allocation is GFP_KERNEL). Those need to be
fixed separately.
While we are at it, document that __vmalloc{_node} about unsupported gfp
mask because there seems to be a lot of confusion out there.
kvmalloc_node will warn about GFP_KERNEL incompatible (which are not
superset) flags to catch new abusers. Existing ones would have to die
slowly.

For configurations that do not enable DAX filesystems or drivers, do not
require the DAX core to be built.
Given that the 'direct_access' method has been removed from
'block_device_operations', we can also go ahead and remove the
block-related dax helper functions from fs/block_dev.c to
drivers/dax/super.c. This keeps dax details out of the block layer and
lets the DAX core be built as a module in the FS_DAX=n case.
Filesystems need to include dax.h to call bdev_dax_supported().

When ext4 encryption was originally merged, we were encrypting the
user-specified filename in ext4_match(), introducing a lot of additional
complexity into ext4_match() and its callers. This has since been
changed to encrypt the filename earlier, so we can remove the gunk
that's no longer needed. This more or less reverts ext4_search_dir()
and ext4_find_dest_de() to the way they were in the v4.0 kernel.

When accessing an encrypted directory without the key, userspace must
operate on filenames derived from the ciphertext names, which contain
arbitrary bytes. Since we must support filenames as long as NAME_MAX,
we can't always just base64-encode the ciphertext, since that may make
it too long. Currently, this is solved by presenting long names in an
abbreviated form containing any needed filesystem-specific hashes (e.g.
to identify a directory block), then the last 16 bytes of ciphertext.
This needs to be sufficient to identify the actual name on lookup.
However, there is a bug. It seems to have been assumed that due to the
use of a CBC (ciphertext block chaining)-based encryption mode, the last
16 bytes (i.e. the AES block size) of ciphertext would depend on the
full plaintext, preventing collisions. However, we actually use CBC
with ciphertext stealing (CTS), which handles the last two blocks
specially, causing them to appear "flipped". Thus, it's actually the
second-to-last block which depends on the full plaintext.
This caused long filenames that differ only near the end of their
plaintexts to, when observed without the key, point to the wrong inode
and be undeletable. For example, with ext4:
# echo pass | e4crypt add_key -p 16 edir/
# seq -f "edir/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz012345%.0f" 100000 | xargs touch
# find edir/ -type f | xargs stat -c %i | sort | uniq | wc -l
100000
# sync
# echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
# keyctl new_session
# find edir/ -type f | xargs stat -c %i | sort | uniq | wc -l
2004
# rm -rf edir/
rm: cannot remove 'edir/_A7nNFi3rhkEQlJ6P,hdzluhODKOeWx5V': Structure needs cleaning
...
To fix this, when presenting long encrypted filenames, encode the
second-to-last block of ciphertext rather than the last 16 bytes.
Although it would be nice to solve this without depending on a specific
encryption mode, that would mean doing a cryptographic hash like SHA-256
which would be much less efficient. This way is sufficient for now, and
it's still compatible with encryption modes like HEH which are strong
pseudorandom permutations. Also, changing the presented names is still
allowed at any time because they are only provided to allow applications
to do things like delete encrypted directories. They're not designed to
be used to persistently identify files --- which would be hard to do
anyway, given that they're encrypted after all.
For ease of backports, this patch only makes the minimal fix to both
ext4 and f2fs. It leaves ubifs as-is, since ubifs doesn't compare the
ciphertext block yet. Follow-on patches will clean things up properly
and make the filesystems use a shared helper function.

Commit b685d3d65a "block: treat REQ_FUA and REQ_PREFLUSH as
synchronous" removed REQ_SYNC flag from WRITE_FUA implementation.
generic_make_request_checks() however strips REQ_FUA flag from a bio
when the storage doesn't report volatile write cache and thus write
effectively becomes asynchronous which can lead to performance
regressions. This affects superblock writes for ext4. Fix the problem
by marking superblock writes always as synchronous.

When using both encryption and SELinux (or another feature that requires
an xattr per file) on a filesystem with 256-byte inodes, each file's
xattrs usually spill into an external xattr block. Currently, the
xattrs are inherited in the order ACL, security, then encryption.
Therefore, if spillage occurs, the encryption xattr will always end up
in the external block. This is not ideal because the encryption xattrs
contain a nonce, so they will always be unique and will prevent the
external xattr blocks from being deduplicated.
To improve the situation, change the inheritance order to encryption,
ACL, then security. This gives the encryption xattr a better chance to
be stored in-inode, allowing the other xattr(s) to be deduplicated.
Note that it may be better for userspace to format the filesystem with
512-byte inodes in this case. However, it's not the default.

Currently ext4_writepages() submits all pages with transaction started.
When no page needs block allocation or extent conversion we can submit
all dirty pages in the inode while holding a single transaction handle
and when device is congested this can take significant amount of time.
Thus ext4_writepages() can block transaction commits for extended
periods of time.
Take for example a simple benchmark simulating PostgreSQL database
(pgioperf in mmtest). The benchmark runs 16 processes doing random reads
from a huge file, one process doing random writes to the huge file, and
one process doing sequential writes to a small files and frequently
running fsync. With unpatched kernel transaction commits take on average
~18s with standard deviation of ~41s, top 5 commit times are:
274.466639s, 126.467347s, 86.992429s, 34.351563s, 31.517653s.
