commit c9af28fdd44922a6c10c9f8315718408af98e315 upstream.

We don't want the writeback triggered from the journal commit (in
data=writeback mode) to cause the journal to abort due to
generic_writepages() returning an ENOMEM error.  In addition, if
fsync() fails with ENOMEM, most applications will probably not do the
right thing.

So if we are doing a data integrity sync, and ext4_encrypt() returns
ENOMEM, we will submit any queued I/O to date, and then retry the
allocation using GFP_NOFAIL.

<title>ext4 crypto: fix memory leak in ext4_bio_write_page()</title>

There are times when ext4_bio_write_page() is called even though we
don't actually need to do any I/O.  This happens when ext4_writepage()
gets called by the jbd2 commit path when an inode needs to force its
pages written out in order to provide data=ordered guarantees --- and
a page is backed by an unwritten (e.g., uninitialized) block on disk,
or if delayed allocation means the page's backing store hasn't been
allocated yet.  In that case, we need to skip the call to
ext4_encrypt_page(), since in addition to wasting CPU, it leads to a
bounce page and an ext4 crypto context getting leaked.

<title>block: add a bi_error field to struct bio</title>

<content type='text'>
Currently we have two different ways to signal an I/O error on a BIO:

 (1) by clearing the BIO_UPTODATE flag
 (2) by returning a Linux errno value to the bi_end_io callback

The first one has the drawback of only communicating a single possible
error (-EIO), and the second one has the drawback of not beeing persistent
when bios are queued up, and are not passed along from child to parent
bio in the ever more popular chaining scenario.  Having both mechanisms
available has the additional drawback of utterly confusing driver authors
and introducing bugs where various I/O submitters only deal with one of
them, and the others have to add boilerplate code to deal with both kinds
of error returns.

So add a new bi_error field to store an errno value directly in struct
bio and remove the existing mechanisms to clean all this up.

<title>ext4: implement cgroup writeback support</title>

<id>001e4a8775f6e8ad52a89e0072f09aee47d5d252</id>
<content type='text'>
For ordered and writeback data modes, all data IOs go through
ext4_io_submit.  This patch adds cgroup writeback support by invoking
wbc_init_bio() from io_submit_init_bio() and wbc_account_io() in
io_submit_add_bh().  Journal data which is written by jbd2 worker is
left alone by this patch and will always be written out from the root
cgroup.

ext4_fill_super() is updated to set MS_CGROUPWB when data mode is
either ordered or writeback.  In journaled data mode, most IOs become
synchronous through the journal and enabling cgroup writeback support
doesn't make much sense or difference.  Journaled data mode is left
alone.

Lightly tested with sequential data write workload.  Behaves as
expected.

ext4_io_submit_init() takes the pointer to writeback_control to test
its sync_mode and determine between WRITE and WRITE_SYNC and records
the result in -&gt;io_op.  This patch makes it record the pointer
directly and moves the test to ext4_io_submit().

This doesn't cause any noticeable differences now but having
writeback_control available throughout IO submission path will be
depended upon by the planned cgroup writeback support.

Pull core block IO update from Jens Axboe:
 "Nothing really major in here, mostly a collection of smaller
  optimizations and cleanups, mixed with various fixes.  In more detail,
  this contains:

   - Addition of policy specific data to blkcg for block cgroups.  From
     Arianna Avanzini.

   - Various cleanups around command types from Christoph.

   - Cleanup of the suspend block I/O path from Christoph.

   - Plugging updates from Shaohua and Jeff Moyer, for blk-mq.

   - Eliminating atomic inc/dec of both remaining IO count and reference
     count in a bio.  From me.

   - Fixes for SG gap and chunk size support for data-less (discards)
     IO, so we can merge these better.  From me.

   - Small restructuring of blk-mq shared tag support, freeing drivers
     from iterating hardware queues.  From Keith Busch.

   - A few cfq-iosched tweaks, from Tahsin Erdogan and me.  Makes the
     IOPS mode the default for non-rotational storage"
