commit f066055a3449f0e5b0ae4f3ceab4445bead47638 upstream.

Proper block swap for inodes with full journaling enabled is
truly non obvious task. In order to be on a safe side let's
explicitly disable it for now.

commit 03bd8b9b896c8e940f282f540e6b4de90d666b7c upstream.

- Remove usless checks, because it is too late to check that inode != NULL
  at the moment it was referenced several times.
- Double lock routines looks very ugly and locking ordering relays on
  order of i_ino, but other kernel code rely on order of pointers.
  Let's make them simple and clean.
- check that inodes belongs to the same SB as soon as possible.

This patch adds some tracepoints in ext4/extents.c and updates a tracepoint in
ext4/inode.c.

Tested: Built and ran the kernel and verified that these tracepoints work.
Also ran xfstests.

<title>ext4: Fix max file size and logical block counting of extent format file</title>

<content type='text'>
Kazuya Mio reported that he was able to hit BUG_ON(next == lblock)
in ext4_ext_put_gap_in_cache() while creating a sparse file in extent
format and fill the tail of file up to its end. We will hit the BUG_ON
when we write the last block (2^32-1) into the sparse file.

The root cause of the problem lies in the fact that we specifically set
s_maxbytes so that block at s_maxbytes fit into on-disk extent format,
which is 32 bit long. However, we are not storing start and end block
number, but rather start block number and length in blocks. It means
that in order to cover extent from 0 to EXT_MAX_BLOCK we need
EXT_MAX_BLOCK+1 to fit into len (because we counting block 0 as well) -
and it does not.

The only way to fix it without changing the meaning of the struct
ext4_extent members is, as Kazuya Mio suggested, to lower s_maxbytes
by one fs block so we can cover the whole extent we can get by the
on-disk extent format.

Also in many places EXT_MAX_BLOCK is used as length instead of maximum
logical block number as the name suggests, it is all a bit messy. So
this commit renames it to EXT_MAX_BLOCKS and change its usage in some
places to actually be maximum number of blocks in the extent.

The bug which this commit fixes can be reproduced as follows:

 dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/file bs=&lt;blocksize&gt; count=1 seek=$((2**32-2))
 sync
 dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/file bs=&lt;blocksize&gt; count=1 seek=$((2**32-1))

wait_on_page_writeback already checks the writeback bit, so callers of it
needn't do that test.

Cleanup namespace leaks from fs/ext4 and the inline trivial functions
ext4_{ext,idx}_pblock() and ext4_{ext,idx}_store_pblock() since the
code size actually shrinks when we make these functions inline,
they're so trivial.

Dan Roseberg has reported a problem with the MOVE_EXT ioctl.  If the
donor file is an append-only file, we should not allow the operation
to proceed, lest we end up overwriting the contents of an append-only
file.

At several places we modify EXT4_I(inode)-&gt;i_flags without holding
i_mutex (ext4_do_update_inode, ...). These modifications are racy and
we can lose updates to i_flags. So convert handling of i_flags to use
bitops which are atomic.

EXT4_ERROR_INODE() tends to provide better error information and in a
more consistent format.  Some errors were not even identifying the inode
or directory which was corrupted, which made them not very useful.
