Using relative pathnames in #include statements interacts badly with
SystemTap, since the fs/ext4/*.h header files are not packaged up as
part of a distribution kernel's header files. Since systemtap doesn't
use TP_fast_assign(), we can use a blind structure definition and then
make sure the needed header files are defined before the ext4 source
files #include the trace/events/ext4.h header file.

The s_flex_groups array should have been initialized using atomic_add
to sum up the free counts from the block groups that make up a
flex_bg. By using atomic_set, the value of the s_flex_groups array
was set to the values of the last block group in the flex_bg.
The impact of this bug is that the block and inode allocation
algorithms might not pick the best flex_bg for new allocation.

When ext4_dx_add_entry() has to split an index node, it has to ensure that
name_len of dx_node's fake_dirent is also zero, because otherwise e2fsck

Previously the journal_async_commit mount option was equivalent to
using barrier=0 (and just as unsafe). This patch fixes it so that we
eliminate the barrier before the commit block (by not using ordered
mode), and explicitly issuing an empty barrier bio after writing the
commit block. Because of the journal checksum, it is safe to do this;
if the journal blocks are not all written before a power failure, the
checksum in the commit block will prevent the last transaction from
being replayed.
Using the fs_mark benchmark, using journal_async_commit shows a 50%
improvement:
FSUse% Count Size Files/sec App Overhead
8 1000 10240 30.5 28242

This avoids updating the superblock write time when we are mounting
the root file system read/only but we need to replay the journal; at
that point, for people who are east of GMT and who make their clock
tick in localtime for Windows bug-for-bug compatibility, and this will
cause e2fsck to complain and force a full file system check.

Teach ext4_write_inode() and ext4_do_update_inode() about non-journal
mode: If we're not using a journal, ext4_write_inode() now calls
ext4_do_update_inode() (after getting the iloc via ext4_get_inode_loc())
with a new "do_sync" parameter. If that parameter is nonzero _and_ we're
not using a journal, ext4_do_update_inode() calls sync_dirty_buffer()
instead of ext4_handle_dirty_metadata().
This problem was found in power-fail testing, checking the amount of
loss of files and blocks after a power failure when using fsync() and
when not using fsync(). It turned out that using fsync() was actually
worse than not doing so, possibly because it increased the likelihood
that the inodes would remain unflushed and would therefore be lost at
the power failure.

When there is no journal present, we must attach buffer heads
associated with extent tree and indirect blocks to the inode's

ext4_sync_file() --- which is called to service fsync() and
fdatasync() system calls --- can write out the inode's metadata blocks

When ext4 is using a journal, a metadata block which is deallocated
must be passed into the journal layer so it can be dropped from the
current transaction and/or revoked. This is done by calling the
functions ext4_journal_forget() and ext4_journal_revoke(), which call
jbd2_journal_forget(), and jbd2_journal_revoke(), respectively.
Since the jbd2_journal_forget() and jbd2_journal_revoke() call
bforget(), if ext4 is not using a journal, ext4_journal_forget() and
ext4_journal_revoke() must call bforget() to avoid a dirty metadata
block overwriting a block after it has been reallocated and reused for
another inode's data block.

The ext4_move_extents() functions checks with BUG_ON() whether the
exchanged blocks count accords with request blocks count. But, if the
target range (orig_start + len) includes sparse block(s), 'moved_len'
(exchanged blocks count) does not agree with 'len' (request blocks

us to hit the BUG_ON(), even though the function succeeded.

hits BUG_ON() in ext4_move_extents(). The patch fixes this issue.

A user reported that although his root ext4 filesystem was mounting
fine, other filesystems would not mount, with the:
"Filesystem with huge files cannot be mounted RDWR without CONFIG_LBDAF"
error on his 32-bit box built without CONFIG_LBDAF. This is because
the test at mount time for this situation was not being re-checked
on remount, and the normal boot process makes an ro->rw transition,
so this was being missed.
Refactor to make a common helper function to test the filesystem
features against the type of mount request (RO vs. RW) so that we
stay consistent.

While reading through some of the mballoc code it seems that a couple
spots in the size normalization function could be streamlined.
The test for non-overlapping PAs can be or'd for the start & end

it's essentially independently testing:
if (A + B <= C)

if (A > C)

During truncate we are sometimes forced to start a new transaction as
the amount of blocks to be journaled is both quite large and hard to
predict. So far we restarted a transaction while holding i_data_sem
and that violates lock ordering because i_data_sem ranks below a
transaction start (and it can lead to a real deadlock with
ext4_get_blocks() mapping blocks in some page while having a
transaction open).
We fix the problem by dropping the i_data_sem before restarting the
transaction and acquire it afterwards. It's slightly subtle that this
works:
1) By the time ext4_truncate() is called, all the page cache for the
truncated part of the file is dropped so get_block() should not be
called on it (we only have to invalidate extent cache after we
reacquire i_data_sem because some extent from not-truncated part could
extend also into the part we are going to truncate).
2) Writes, migrate or defrag hold i_mutex so they are stopped for all
the time of the truncate.

===================================================================
Currently the group preallocation code tries to find a large (512)
free block from which to do per-cpu group allocation for small files.
The problem with this scheme is that it leaves the filesystem horribly
fragmented. In the worst case, if the filesystem is unmounted and
remounted (after a system shutdown, for example) we forget the fact
that wee were using a particular (now-partially filled) 512 block
extent. So the next time we try to allocate space for a small file,
we will find *another* completely free 512 block chunk to allocate
small files. Given that there are 32,768 blocks in a block group,
after 64 iterations of "mount, write one 4k file in a directory,
unmount", the block group will have 64 files, each separated by 511
blocks, and the block group will no longer have any free 512
completely free chunks of blocks for group preallocation space.
So if we try to allocate blocks for a file that has been closed, such
that we know the final size of the file, and the filesystem is not
busy, avoid using group preallocation.

The logic around sbi->s_mb_last_group and sbi->s_mb_last_start was all
screwed up. These fields were getting unconditionally all the time,
set even when stream allocation had not taken place, and if they were
being used when the file was smaller than s_mb_stream_request, which
is when the allocation should _not_ be doing stream allocation.
Fix this by determining whether or not we stream allocation should
take place once, in ext4_mb_group_or_file(), and setting a flag which
gets used in ext4_mb_regular_allocator() and ext4_mb_use_best_found().
This simplifies the code and assures that we are consistently using
(or not using) the stream allocation logic.

After the patch I posted last week regarding buffer head ref leaks in

The change to inode.c fixes a double release if
ext4_journal_get_create_access() fails.
The changes to namei.c are more complicated. add_dirent_to_buf() will
release the input buffer head EXCEPT when it returns -ENOSPC. There are
some callers of this routine that don't always do the brelse() in the event
that -ENOSPC is returned. Unfortunately, to put this fix into ext4_add_entry()
required capturing the return value of make_indexed_dir() and
add_dirent_to_buf().
