Some of the in-kernel ext3 block variable type are treated as signed 4 bytes
int type, thus limited ext3 filesystem to 8TB (4kblock size based). While
trying to fix them, it seems quite confusing in the ext3 code where some
blocks are filesystem-wide blocks, some are group relative offsets that need
to be signed value (as -1 has special meaning). So it seem saner to define
two types of physical blocks: one is filesystem wide blocks, another is
group-relative blocks. The following patches clarify these two types of
blocks in the ext3 code, and fix the type bugs which limit current 32 bit ext3
filesystem limit to 8TB.
With this series of patches and the percpu counter data type changes in the mm
tree, we are able to extend exts filesystem limit to 16TB.
This work is also a pre-request for the recent >32 bit ext3 work, and makes
the kernel to able to address 48 bit ext3 block a lot easier: Simply redefine
ext3_fsblk_t from unsigned long to sector_t and redefine the format string for
ext3 filesystem block corresponding.
Two RFC with a series patches have been posted to ext2-devel list and have
been reviewed and discussed:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=114722190816690&w=2http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ext2-devel&m=114784919525942&w=2
Patches are tested on both 32 bit machine and 64 bit machine, <8TB ext3 and
>8TB ext3 filesystem(with the latest to be released e2fsprogs-1.39). Tests
includes overnight fsx, tiobench, dbench and fsstress.
This patch:
Defines ext3_fsblk_t and ext3_grpblk_t, and the printk format string for
filesystem wide blocks.
This patch classifies all block group relative blocks, and ext3_fsblk_t blocks
occurs in the same function where used to be confusing before. Also include
kernel bug fixes for filesystem wide in-kernel block variables. There are
some fileystem wide blocks are treated as int/unsigned int type in the kernel
currently, especially in ext3 block allocation and reservation code. This
patch fixed those bugs by converting those variables to ext3_fsblk_t(unsigned
long) type.

The problem is that when we write to a file, the copy from userspace to
pagecache is first done with preemption disabled, so if the source address is
not immediately available the copy fails *and* *zeros* *the* *destination*.
This is a problem because a concurrent read (which admittedly is an odd thing
to do) might see zeros rather that was there before the write, or what was
there after, or some mixture of the two (any of these being a reasonable thing
to see).
If the copy did fail, it will immediately be retried with preemption
re-enabled so any transient problem with accessing the source won't cause an
error.
The first copying does not need to zero any uncopied bytes, and doing so
causes the problem. It uses copy_from_user_atomic rather than copy_from_user
so the simple expedient is to change copy_from_user_atomic to *not* zero out
bytes on failure.
The first of these two patches prepares for the change by fixing two places
which assume copy_from_user_atomic does zero the tail. The two usages are
very similar pieces of code which copy from a userspace iovec into one or more
page-cache pages. These are changed to remove the assumption.
The second patch changes __copy_from_user_inatomic* to not zero the tail.
Once these are accepted, I will look at similar patches of other architectures
where this is important (ppc, mips and sparc being the ones I can find).
This patch:
There is a problem with __copy_from_user_inatomic zeroing the tail of the
buffer in the case of an error. As it is called in atomic context, the error
may be transient, so it results in zeros being written where maybe they
shouldn't be.
In the usage in filemap, this opens a window for a well timed read to see data
(zeros) which is not consistent with any ordering of reads and writes.
Most cases where __copy_from_user_inatomic is called, a failure results in
__copy_from_user being called immediately. As long as the latter zeros the
tail, the former doesn't need to. However in *copy_from_user_iovec
implementations (in both filemap and ntfs/file), it is assumed that
copy_from_user_inatomic will zero the tail.
This patch removes that assumption, so that after this patch it will
be safe for copy_from_user_inatomic to not zero the tail.
This patch also adds some commentary to filemap.h and asm-i386/uaccess.h.
After this patch, all architectures that might disable preempt when
kmap_atomic is called need to have their __copy_from_user_inatomic* "fixed".

First of all some necessary notes about UFS by it self: To avoid waste of disk
space the tail of file consists not from blocks (which is ordinary big enough,
16K usually), it consists from fragments(which is ordinary 2K). When file is
growing its tail occupy 1 fragment, 2 fragments... At some stage decision to
allocate whole block is made and all fragments are moved to one block.
How this situation was handled before:
ufs_prepare_write
->block_prepare_write
->ufs_getfrag_block
->...
->ufs_new_fragments:
bh = sb_bread
bh->b_blocknr = result + i;
mark_buffer_dirty (bh);
This is wrong solution, because:
- it didn't take into consideration that there is another cache: "inode page
cache"
- because of sb_getblk uses not b_blocknr, (it uses page->index) to find
certain block, this breaks sb_getblk.
How this situation is handled now: we go though all "page inode cache", if
there are no such page in cache we load it into cache, and change b_blocknr.

A process flag to indicate whether we are doing sync io is incredibly
ugly. It also causes performance problems when one does a lot of async
io and then proceeds to sync it. Part of the io will go out as async,
and the other part as sync. This causes a disconnect between the
previously submitted io and the synced io. For io schedulers such as CFQ,
this will cause us lost merges and suboptimal behaviour in scheduling.

the O_DIRECT path just directly indicate that the writes are sync

Sometimes partitions claim to be larger than the reported capacity of a
disk device. This patch makes the kernel warn about those partitions.
We still permit these patitions to be used. Quoting Andries Brouwer
<Andries.Brouwer@cwi.nl>:
Case 1: The kernel is mistaken about the size of the disk. (There are
commands to clip a disk to a certain capacity, there are jumpers to tell a
disk that it should report a certain capacity etc. Usually this is because
of BIOS bugs. In bad cases the machine will crash in the BIOS and hence fail
to boot if the disk reports full capacity.) In such cases actually accessing
the blocks of the partition may work fine, or may work fine after running an
unclip utility. I wrote "setmax" some years ago precisely for this reason.
Case 2: There was a messy partition table (maybe just a rounding error) but
the actual filesystem on the partition is contained in the physical disk.
Now using the filesystem goes without problem.
Case 3: Both partition and filesystem extend beyond the end of the disk. In
forensic or debugging situations one often uses a copy of the start of a
disk. Now access beyond the end gives an expected I/O error.

Fix possible assertion failure in journal_commit_transaction() on
jh->b_next_transaction == NULL (when we are processing BJ_Forget list and
buffer is not jbddirty).
!jbddirty buffers can be placed on BJ_Forget list for example by
journal_forget() or by __dispose_buffer() - generally such buffer means
that it has been freed by this transaction.
Freed buffers should not be reallocated until the transaction has committed
(that's why we have the assertion there) but they *can* be reallocated when
the transaction has already been committed to disk and we are just
processing the BJ_Forget list (as soon as we remove b_committed_data from
the bitmap bh, ext3 will be able to reallocate buffers freed by the
committing transaction). So we have to also count with the case that the
buffer has been reallocated and b_next_transaction has been already set.
And one more subtle point: it can happen that we manage to reallocate the
buffer and also mark it jbddirty. Then we also add the freed buffer to the
checkpoint list of the committing trasaction. But that should do no harm.
Non-jbddirty buffers should be filed to BJ_Reserved and not BJ_Metadata
list. It can actually happen that we refile such buffers during the commit
phase when we reallocate in the running transaction blocks deleted in
committing transaction (and that can happen if the committing transaction
already wrote all the data and is just cleaning up BJ_Forget list).

posix_lock_file() always allocates new locks in advance, even if it's easy to
determine that no allocations will be needed.
Optimize these cases:
- FL_ACCESS flag is set
- Unlocking the whole range

posix_lock_file() was too cautious, failing operations on OOM, even if they
didn't actually require an allocation.
This has the disadvantage, that a failing unlock on process exit could lead to
a memory leak. There are two possibilites for this:
- filesystem implements .lock() and calls back to posix_lock_file(). On
cleanup of files_struct locks_remove_posix() is called which should remove all
locks belonging to files_struct. However if filesystem calls
posix_lock_file() which fails, then those locks will never be freed.
- if a file is closed while a lock is blocked, then after acquiring
fcntl_setlk() will undo the lock. But this unlock itself might fail on OOM,
again possibly leaking the lock.
The solution is to move the checking of the allocations until after it is sure
that they will be needed. This will solve the above problem since unlock will
always succeed unless it splits an existing region.
