commit 8974fec7d72e3e02752fe0f27b4c3719c78d9a15 upstream.

Currently ext4_ind_migrate() doesn't correctly handle a file which
contains a hole at the beginning of the file.  This caused the migration
to be done incorrectly, and then if there is a subsequent following
delayed allocation write to the "hole", this would reclaim the same data
blocks again and results in fs corruption.

  # assmuing 4k block size ext4, with delalloc enabled
  # skip the first block and write to the second block
  xfs_io -fc "pwrite 4k 4k" -c "fsync" /mnt/ext4/testfile

  # converting to indirect-mapped file, which would move the data blocks
  # to the beginning of the file, but extent status cache still marks
  # that region as a hole
  chattr -e /mnt/ext4/testfile

  # delayed allocation writes to the "hole", reclaim the same data block
  # again, results in i_blocks corruption
  xfs_io -c "pwrite 0 4k" /mnt/ext4/testfile
  umount /mnt/ext4
  e2fsck -nf /dev/sda6
  ...
  Inode 53, i_blocks is 16, should be 8.  Fix? no

<title>ext4: be more strict when migrating to non-extent based file</title>

commit d6f123a9297496ad0b6335fe881504c4b5b2a5e5 upstream.

Currently the check in ext4_ind_migrate() is not enough before doing the
real conversion:

a) delayed allocated extents could bypass the check on eh-&gt;eh_entries
   and eh-&gt;eh_depth

This can be demonstrated by this script

  xfs_io -fc "pwrite 0 4k" -c "pwrite 8k 4k" /mnt/ext4/testfile
  chattr -e /mnt/ext4/testfile

where testfile has two extents but still be converted to non-extent
based file format.

b) only extent length is checked but not the offset, which would result
   in data lose (delalloc) or fs corruption (nodelalloc), because
   non-extent based file only supports at most (12 + 2^10 + 2^20 + 2^30)
   blocks

This can be demostrated by

  xfs_io -fc "pwrite 5T 4k" /mnt/ext4/testfile
  chattr -e /mnt/ext4/testfile
  sync

If delalloc is enabled, dmesg prints
  EXT4-fs warning (device dm-4): ext4_block_to_path:105: block 1342177280 &gt; max in inode 53
  EXT4-fs (dm-4): Delayed block allocation failed for inode 53 at logical offset 1342177280 with max blocks 1 with error 5
  EXT4-fs (dm-4): This should not happen!! Data will be lost

If delalloc is disabled, e2fsck -nf shows corruption
  Inode 53, i_size is 5497558142976, should be 4096.  Fix? no

Fix the two issues by

a) forcing all delayed allocation blocks to be allocated before checking
   eh-&gt;eh_depth and eh-&gt;eh_entries
b) limiting the last logical block of the extent is within direct map

With bigalloc feature enabled we do not support indirect addressing at all
so we have to prevent extent addressing to indirect addressing
conversion in this case. The problem has been introduced with the commit

Move ext4_ind_migrate() into migrate.c file since it makes much more
sense and ext4_ext_migrate() is there as well.

Also fix tiny style problem - add spaces around "=" in "i=0".

The migration ioctl creates a temporary inode.  Since this inode is
never linked to a directory, we don't need to reserve journal credits
required for modifying the directory.

<title>ext4: pass context information to jbd2__journal_start()</title>

<id>9924a92a8c217576bd2a2b1bbbb854462f1a00ae</id>
<content type='text'>
So we can better understand what bits of ext4 are responsible for
long-running jbd2 handles, use jbd2__journal_start() so we can pass
context information for logging purposes.

The recommended way for finding the longer-running handles is:

   T=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
   EVENT=$T/events/jbd2/jbd2_handle_stats
   echo "interval &gt; 5" &gt; $EVENT/filter
   echo 1 &gt; $EVENT/enable

   ./run-my-fs-benchmark

   cat $T/trace &gt; /tmp/problem-handles

This will list handles that were active for longer than 20ms.  Having
longer-running handles is bad, because a commit started at the wrong
time could stall for those 20+ milliseconds, which could delay an
fsync() or an O_SYNC operation.  Here is an example line from the
trace file describing a handle which lived on for 311 jiffies, or over
1.2 seconds:

postmark-2917  [000] ....   196.435786: jbd2_handle_stats: dev 254,32 
   tid 570 type 2 line_no 2541 interval 311 sync 0 requested_blocks 1
   dirtied_blocks 0

<title>ext4: rationalize ext4_extents.h inclusion</title>

Previously, ext4_extents.h was being included at the end of ext4.h,
which was bad for a number of reasons: (a) it was not being included
in the expected place, and (b) it caused the header to be included
multiple times.  There were #ifdef's to prevent this from causing any
problems, but it still was unnecessary.

By moving the function declarations that were in ext4_extents.h to
ext4.h, which is standard practice for where the function declarations
for the rest of ext4.h can be found, we can remove ext4_extents.h from
being included in ext4.h at all, and then we can only include
ext4_extents.h where it is needed in ext4's source files.

It should be possible to move a few more things into ext4.h, and
further reduce the number of source files that need to #include
ext4_extents.h, but that's a cleanup for another day.

Delete any instances of include module.h that were not strictly
required.  In the case of ext2, the declaration of MODULE_LICENSE
etc. were in inode.c but the module_init/exit were in super.c, so
relocate the MODULE_LICENCE/AUTHOR block to super.c which makes it
consistent with ext3 and ext4 at the same time.
