ext4: remove unnecessary argument from __ext4_handle_dirty_metadata()

2012-07-23T00:37:31+00:00

The '__ext4_handle_dirty_metadata()' does not need the 'now' argument
anymore and we can kill it.

ext4: make quota as first class supported feature

2012-07-23T00:21:31+00:00

This patch adds support for quotas as a first class feature in ext4;
which is to say, the quota files are stored in hidden inodes as file
system metadata, instead of as separate files visible in the file system
directory hierarchy.

It is based on the proposal at:                                                                                                           
https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Design_For_1st_Class_Quota_in_Ext4

This patch introduces a new feature - EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_QUOTA
which, when turned on, enables quota accounting at mount time
iteself. Also, the quota inodes are stored in two additional superblock
fields.  Some changes introduced by this patch that should be pointed
out are:

1) Two new ext4-superblock fields - s_usr_quota_inum and
   s_grp_quota_inum for storing the quota inodes in use.
2) Default quota inodes are: inode#3 for tracking userquota and inode#4
   for tracking group quota. The superblock fields can be set to use
   other inodes as well.
3) If the QUOTA feature and corresponding quota inodes are set in
   superblock, the quota usage tracking is turned on at mount time. On
   'quotaon' ioctl, the quota limits enforcement is turned
   on. 'quotaoff' ioctl turns off only the limits enforcement in this
   case.
4) When QUOTA feature is in use, the quota mount options 'quota',
   'usrquota', 'grpquota' are ignored by the kernel.
5) mke2fs or tune2fs can be used to set the QUOTA feature and initialize
   quota inodes. The default reserved inodes will not be visible to user
   as regular files.
6) The quota-tools will need to be modified to support hidden quota
   files on ext4. E2fsprogs will also include support for creating and
   fixing quota files.
7) Support is only for the new V2 quota file format.

ext4: calculate and verify superblock checksum

2012-04-29T22:29:10+00:00

Calculate and verify the superblock checksum.  Since the UUID and
block group number are embedded in each copy of the superblock, we
need only checksum the entire block.  Refactor some of the code to
eliminate open-coding of the checksum update call.

ext4: expand commit callback and

2012-02-20T22:53:02+00:00

The per-commit callback was used by mballoc code to manage free space
bitmaps after deleted blocks have been released.  This patch expands
it to support multiple different callbacks, to allow other things to
be done after the commit has been completed.

ext4: ignore EXT4_INODE_JOURNAL_DATA flag with delalloc

2012-02-20T22:53:00+00:00

Ext4 does not support data journalling with delayed allocation enabled.
We even do not allow to mount the file system with delayed allocation
and data journalling enabled, however it can be set via FS_IOC_SETFLAGS
so we can hit the inode with EXT4_INODE_JOURNAL_DATA set even on file
system mounted with delayed allocation (default) and that's where
problem arises. The easies way to reproduce this problem is with the
following set of commands:

 mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdd
 mount /dev/sdd /mnt/test1
 dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test1/file bs=1M count=4
 chattr +j /mnt/test1/file
 dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test1/file bs=1M count=4 conv=notrunc
 chattr -j /mnt/test1/file

Additionally it can be reproduced quite reliably with xfstests 272 and
269. In fact the above reproducer is a part of test 272.

To fix this we should ignore the EXT4_INODE_JOURNAL_DATA inode flag if
the file system is mounted with delayed allocation. This can be easily
done by fixing ext4_should_*_data() functions do ignore data journal
flag when delalloc is set (suggested by Ted). We also have to set the
appropriate address space operations for the inode (again, ignoring data
journal flag if delalloc enabled).

Additionally this commit introduces ext4_inode_journal_mode() function
because ext4_should_*_data() has already had a lot of common code and
this change is putting it all into one function so it is easier to
read.

Successfully tested with xfstests in following configurations:

delalloc + data=ordered
delalloc + data=writeback
data=journal
nodelalloc + data=ordered
nodelalloc + data=writeback
nodelalloc + data=journal

ext4: Fix ext4_should_writeback_data() for no-journal mode

2011-08-13T15:25:18+00:00

ext4_should_writeback_data() had an incorrect sequence of
tests to determine if it should return 0 or 1: in
particular, even in no-journal mode, 0 was being returned
for a non-regular-file inode.

This meant that, in non-journal mode, we would use
ext4_journalled_aops for directories, symlinks, and other
non-regular files.  However, calling journalled aop
callbacks when there is no valid handle, can cause problems.

This would cause a kernel crash with Jan Kara's commit
2d859db3e4 ("ext4: fix data corruption in inodes with
journalled data"), because we now dereference 'handle' in
ext4_journalled_write_end().

I also added BUG_ONs to check for a valid handle in the
obviously journal-only aops callbacks.

I tested this running xfstests with a scratch device in
these modes:

   - no-journal
   - data=ordered
   - data=writeback
   - data=journal

All work fine; the data=journal run has many failures and a
crash in xfstests 074, but this is no different from a
vanilla kernel.

ext4: remove unneeded ext4_journal_get_undo_access

2011-05-09T14:58:45+00:00

The block allocation code used to use jbd2_journal_get_undo_access as
a way to make changes that wouldn't show up until the commit took
place.  The new multi-block allocation code has a its own way of
preventing newly freed blocks from getting reused until the commit
takes place (it avoids updating the buddy bitmaps until the commit is
done), so we don't need to use jbd2_journal_get_undo_access(), which
has extra overhead compared to jbd2_journal_get_write_access().

There was one last vestigal use of ext4_journal_get_undo_access() in
ext4_add_groupblocks(); change it to use ext4_journal_get_write_access()
and then remove the ext4_journal_get_undo_access() support.

ext4: remove unnecessary [cm]time update of quota file

2011-04-04T19:33:39+00:00

It is not necessary to update [cm]time of quota file on each quota
file write and it wastes journal space and IO throughput with inode
writes. So just remove the updating from ext4_quota_write() and only
update times when quotas are being turned off. Userspace cannot get
anything reliable from quota files while they are used by the kernel
anyway.

ext4: unify the ext4_handle_release_buffer() api

2011-03-21T02:57:02+00:00

There are two wrapper functions which do exactly the same thing:
ext4_journal_release_buffer(), and ext4_handle_release_buffer().  In
addition, ext4_xattr_block_set() calls jbd2_journal_release_buffer()
directly.

Unify all of the code to use ext4_handle_release_buffer(), and get rid
of ext4_journal_release_buffer().

ext4: dynamically allocate the jbd2_inode in ext4_inode_info as necessary

2011-01-10T17:29:43+00:00

Replace the jbd2_inode structure (which is 48 bytes) with a pointer
and only allocate the jbd2_inode when it is needed --- that is, when
the file system has a journal present and the inode has been opened
for writing.  This allows us to further slim down the ext4_inode_info
structure.
