Now that we are doing the locking correctly, we need to grab the
i_completed_io_lock() twice per end_io. We can clean this up by
removing the structure from the i_complted_io_list, and use this as
the locking mechanism to prevent ext4_flush_completed_IO() racing
against ext4_end_io_work(), instead of clearing the
EXT4_IO_END_UNWRITTEN in io->flag.
In addition, if the ext4_convert_unwritten_extents() returns an error,
we no longer keep the end_io structure on the linked list. This
doesn't help, because it tends to lock up the file system and wedges
the system. That's one way to call attention to the problem, but it
doesn't help the overall robustness of the system.

In most of mballoc.c, we do everything in units of clusters, since the
block allocation bitmaps and buddy bitmaps are all denominated in
clusters. The one place where we do deal with absolute block numbers
is in the code that handles the preallocation regions, since in the
case of inode-based preallocation regions, the start of the
preallocation region can't be relative to the beginning of the group.
So this adds a bit of complexity, where pa_pstart and pa_lstart are
block numbers, while pa_free, pa_len, and fe_len are denominated in
units of clusters.

In delayed allocation mode, it's important to only call
ext4_jbd2_file_inode when the file has been extended. This is
necessary to avoid a race which first got introduced in commit
678aaf481, but which was made much more common with the introduction
of the "punch hole" functionality. (Especially when dioread_nolock
was enabled; when I could reliably reproduce this problem with
xfstests #74.)
The race is this: If while trying to writeback a delayed allocation
inode, there is a need to map delalloc blocks, and we run out of space
in the journal, *and* at the same time the inode is already on the
committing transaction's t_inode_list (because for example while doing
the punch hole operation, ext4_jbd2_file_inode() is called), then the
commit operation will wait for the inode to finish all of its pending
writebacks by calling filemap_fdatawait(), but since that inode has
one or more pages with the PageWriteback flag set, the commit
operation will wait forever, and the so the writeback of the inode can
never take place, and the kjournald thread and the writeback thread
end up waiting for each other --- forever.
It's important at this point to recall why an inode is placed on the
t_inode_list; it is to provide the data=ordered guarantees that we
don't end up exposing stale data. In the case where we are truncating
or punching a hole in the inode, there is no possibility that stale
data could be exposed in the first place, so we don't need to put the
inode on the t_inode_list!
The right long-term fix is to get rid of data=ordered mode altogether,
and only update the extent tree or indirect blocks after the data has
been written. Until then, this change will also avoid some
unnecessary waiting in the commit operation.

we never convert unwritten extents to written in some cases. For

nomblk_io_submit,dioread_nolock /dev/ubdb /mnt and do
int fd = open(argv[1], O_RDWR | O_CREAT | O_TRUNC, 0600);
char buf[1024];
memset(buf, 'a', sizeof(buf));
fallocate(fd, 0, 0, 16384);

pagecache is dropped) instead of seeing the first KB contain 'a's.

In commit c8d46e41 (ext4: Add flag to files with blocks intentionally
past EOF), if the EOFBLOCKS_FL flag is set, we call ext4_truncate()
before calling vmtruncate(). This caused any allocated but unwritten
blocks created by calling fallocate() with the FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE
flag to be dropped. This was done to make to make sure that
EOFBLOCKS_FL would not be cleared while still leaving blocks past
i_size allocated. This was not necessary, since ext4_truncate()
guarantees that blocks past i_size will be dropped, even in the case
where truncate() has increased i_size before calling ext4_truncate().
So fix this by removing the EOFBLOCKS_FL special case treatment in
ext4_setattr(). In addition, use truncate_setsize() followed by a
call to ext4_truncate() instead of using vmtruncate(). This is more
efficient since it skips the call to inode_newsize_ok(), which has
been checked already by inode_change_ok(). This is also in a win in
the case where EOFBLOCKS_FL is set since it avoids calling
ext4_truncate() twice.

Because the ext4 page writeback codepath had been prematurely calling
clear_page_dirty_for_io(), if it turned out that a particular page
couldn't be written out during a particular pass of
write_cache_pages_da(), the page would have to get redirtied by
calling redirty_pages_for_writeback(). Not only was this wasted work,
but redirty_page_for_writeback() would increment wbc->pages_skipped to
signal to writeback_sb_inodes() that buffers were locked, and that it
should skip this inode until later.
Since this signal was incorrect in ext4's case --- which was caused by
ext4's historically incorrect use of write_cache_pages() ---
ext4_da_writepages() saved and restored wbc->skipped_pages to avoid
confusing writeback_sb_inodes().

__jbd2_log_start_commit() is getting called with j_state_lock only
read-locked, in spite of the fact that it's possible for it might
j_commit_request. Fix this by grabbing the necessary information so
we can test to see if we need to start a new transaction before
dropping the read lock, and then calling jbd2_log_start_commit() which
will grab the write lock.

Commit 40389687 moved a call to ext4_forget() out of
ext4_free_branches and let ext4_free_blocks() handle calling
bforget(). But that change unfortunately did not replace the call to
ext4_forget() with brelse(), which was needed to drop the in-use count
of the indirect block's buffer head, which lead to a memory leak when
deleting files that used indirect blocks. Fix this.
Thanks to Hugh Dickins for pointing this out.

This function was never implemented, except for a BUG_ON which was
tripping when ext4 is run without a journal. The problem is that
although the comment asserts that "truncate (which is the only way to
free block) discards all preallocations", ext4_free_blocks() is also
called in various error recovery paths when blocks have been
allocated, but for various reasons, we were not able to use those data
blocks (for example, because we ran out of memory while trying to
manipulate the extent tree, or some other similar situation).
In addition to the fact that this function isn't implemented except
for the incorrect BUG_ON, the single caller of this function,
ext4_free_blocks(), doesn't use it all if the journal is enabled.
So remove the (stub) function entirely for now. If we decide it's
better to add it back, it's only going to be useful with a relatively
large number of code changes anyway.

Call ext4_std_error() in various places when we can't bail out
cleanly, so the file system can be marked as in error.

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.

We can store the dynamic inode state flags in the high bits of
EXT4_I(inode)->i_flags, and eliminate i_state_flags. This saves 8
bytes from the size of ext4_inode_info structure, which when
multiplied by the number of the number of in the inode cache, can save
a lot of memory.

By reordering the elements in the ext4_inode_info structure, we can
reduce the padding needed on an x86_64 system by 16 bytes.

We can encode the ec_type information by using ee_len == 0 to denote
EXT4_EXT_CACHE_NO, ee_start == 0 to denote EXT4_EXT_CACHE_GAP, and if
neither is true, then the cache type must be EXT4_EXT_CACHE_EXTENT.
This allows us to reduce the size of ext4_ext_inode by another 8
bytes. (ec_type is 4 bytes, plus another 4 bytes of padding)

This fixes a number of places where we used sector_t instead of
ext4_lblk_t for logical blocks, which for ext4 are still 32-bit data
types. No point wasting space in the ext4_inode_info structure, and
requiring 64-bit arithmetic on 32-bit systems, when it isn't
necessary.

Remove the short element i_delalloc_reserved_flag from the
ext4_inode_info structure and replace it a new bit in i_state_flags.
Since we have an ext4_inode_info for every ext4 inode cached in the
inode cache, any savings we can produce here is a very good thing from
a memory utilization perspective.

Use the search_dirblock() in ext3_dx_find_entry(). It makes the code
easier to read, and it takes advantage of common code. It also saves
100 bytes or so of text space.

If the first htree directory is missing '.' or '..' but is otherwise a
valid directory, and we do a lookup for '.' or '..', it's possible to
dereference an uninitialized memory pointer in ext3_htree_next_block().
Avoid this.
We avoid this by moving the special case from ext3_dx_find_entry() to
ext3_find_entry(); this also means we can optimize ext3_find_entry()
slightly when NFS looks up "..".
Thanks to Brad Spengler for pointing a Clang warning that led me to
look more closely at this code. The warning was harmless, but it was
useful in pointing out code that was too ugly to live. This warning was
also reported by Roman Borisov.

This regression was caused by commit a31437b85: "ext4: use

This function gets called a lot for large directories, and the answer
is almost always "no, no, there's no problem". This means using
unlikely() is a good thing.
