83982b6f47 ext4: Remove "extents" mount option
This mount option is largely superfluous, and in fact the way it was
implemented was buggy; if a filesystem which did not have the extents
feature flag was mounted -o extents, the filesystem would attempt to
create and use extents-based file even though the extents feature flag
was not eabled.  The simplest thing to do is to nuke the mount option
entirely.  It's not all that useful to force the non-creation of new
extent-based files if the filesystem can support it.

498e5f2415 ext4: Change unsigned long to unsigned int
Convert the unsigned longs that are most responsible for bloating the
stack usage on 64-bit systems.

Nearly all places in the ext3/4 code which uses "unsigned long" is
probably a bug, since on 32-bit systems a ulong a 32-bits, which means
we are wasting stack space on 64-bit systems.

0390131ba8 ext4: Allow ext4 to run without a journal
A few weeks ago I posted a patch for discussion that allowed ext4 to run
without a journal.  Since that time I've integrated the excellent
comments from Andreas and fixed several serious bugs.  We're currently
running with this patch and generating some performance numbers against
both ext2 (with backported reservations code) and ext4 with and without
a journal.  It just so happens that running without a journal is
slightly faster for most everything.

We did
	iozone -T -t 4 s 2g -r 256k -T -I -i0 -i1 -i2

which creates 4 threads, each of which create and do reads and writes on
a 2G file, with a buffer size of 256K, using O_DIRECT for all file opens
to bypass the page cache.  Results:

                     ext2        ext4, default   ext4, no journal
  initial writes   13.0 MB/s        15.4 MB/s          15.7 MB/s
  rewrites         13.1 MB/s        15.6 MB/s          15.9 MB/s
  reads            15.2 MB/s        16.9 MB/s          17.2 MB/s
  re-reads         15.3 MB/s        16.9 MB/s          17.2 MB/s
  random readers    5.6 MB/s         5.6 MB/s           5.7 MB/s
  random writers    5.1 MB/s         5.3 MB/s           5.4 MB/s 

So it seems that, so far, this was a useful exercise.

97df5d155d ext4: remove do_blk_alloc()
The convenience function do_blk_alloc() is a static function with only
one caller, so fold it into ext4_new_meta_blocks() to simplify the
code and to make it easier to understand.

To save more stack space, if count is a null pointer in
ext4_new_meta_blocks() assume that caller wanted a single block (and
if there is an error, no blocks were allocated).

cf17fea657 ext4: Properly update i_disksize.
With delayed allocation we use i_data_sem to update i_disksize.  We need
to update i_disksize only if the new size specified is greater than the
current value and we need to make sure we don't race with other
i_disksize update.  With delayed allocation we will switch to the
write_begin function for non-delayed allocation if we are low on free
blocks.  This means the write_begin function for non-delayed allocation
also needs to use the same locking.

We also need to check and update i_disksize even if the new size is less
that inode.i_size because of delayed allocation.

525f4ed8dc ext4: journal credit fix for the delayed allocation's writepages() function
Previous delalloc writepages implementation started a new transaction
outside of a loop which called get_block() to do the block allocation.
Since we didn't know exactly how many blocks would need to be allocated,
the estimated journal credits required was very conservative and caused
many issues.

With the reworked delayed allocation, a new transaction is created for
each get_block(), thus we don't need to guess how many credits for the
multiple chunk of allocation.  We start every transaction with enough
credits for inserting a single exent.  When estimate the credits for
indirect blocks to allocate a chunk of blocks, we need to know the
number of data blocks to allocate.  We use the total number of reserved
delalloc datablocks; if that is too big, for non-extent files, we need
to limit the number of blocks to EXT4_MAX_TRANS_BLOCKS.

Code cleanup from Aneesh.

f3bd1f3fa8 ext4: journal credits reservation fixes for DIO, fallocate
DIO and fallocate credit calculation is different than writepage, as
they do start a new journal right for each call to ext4_get_blocks_wrap().
This patch uses the helper function in DIO and fallocate case, passing
a flag indicating that the modified data are contigous thus could account
less indirect/index blocks.

This patch also fixed the journal credit reservation for direct I/O
(DIO).  Previously the estimated credits for DIO only was calculated for
non-extent files, which was not enough if the file is extent-based.

Also fixed was fallocate double-counting credits for modifying the the
superblock.

ee12b63068 ext4: journal credits reservation fixes for extent file writepage
This patch modified the writepage/write_begin credit calculation for
extent files, to use the credits caculation helper function.

The current calculation of how many index/leaf blocks should be
accounted is too conservetive, it always considered the worse case,
where the tree level is 5, and in the case of multiple chunk
allocations, it always assumed no blocks were dirtied in common across
the allocations. This path uses the accurate depth of the inode with
some extras to calculate the index blocks, and also less conservative in
the case of multiple allocation accounting.

The ext4_ext_journal_restart() is a convenience function which checks
to see if the requested number of credits is present, and if so it
closes the current transaction and attaches the current handle to the
new transaction.  Unfortunately, it wasn't proprely checking the
return value from ext4_journal_extend(), so it was starting a new
transaction when one was not necessary, and returning an error when
all that was necessary was to restart the handle with a new

d03856bd5e ext4: Fix data corruption when writing to prealloc area
Inserting an extent can cause a new entry in the already existing index
block. That doesn't increase the depth of the instead. Instead it adds a
new leaf block. Now with the new leaf block the path information
corresponding to the logical block should be fetched from the new block.
The old path will be pointing to the old leaf block.

We need to recalucate the path information on extent insert
even if depth doesn't change. Without this change, the extent merge
after converting an unwritten extent to initialized extent takes the wrong
extent and cause data corruption.

back. At unlink/truncate time, reserved blocks are properly released.

cf108bca46 ext4: Invert the locking order of page_lock and transaction start
This changes are needed to support data=ordered mode handling via
inodes.  This enables us to get rid of the journal heads and buffer
heads for data buffers in the ordered mode.  With the changes, during
tranasaction commit we writeout the inode pages using the
writepages()/writepage(). That implies we take page lock during
transaction commit. This can cause a deadlock with the locking order
page_lock -> jbd2_journal_start, since the jbd2_journal_start can wait
for the journal_commit to happen and the journal_commit now needs to
take the page lock. To avoid this dead lock reverse the locking order.

7061eba75c ext4: Use inode preallocation with -o noextents
When mballoc is enabled, block allocation for old block-based
files are allocated using mballoc allocator instead of old
block-based allocator. The old ext3 block reservation is turned

However, the in-core preallocation is not enabled for block-based/
non-extent based file block allocation. This result in performance
regression, as now we don't have "reservation" ore in-core preallocation
to prevent interleaved fragmentation in multiple writes workload.

This patch fix this by enable per inode in-core preallocation
for non extent files when mballoc is used.

161e7b7c1d ext4: Cache the correct extent length for uninit extents
When we convert an uninitialized extent to an initialized extent
we need to make sure we return the number of blocks in the
extent from the file system block corresponding to logical
file block.  Otherwise we cache wrong extent details and this
results in file system corruption.

1a89734d40 ext4: Return unwritten buffer head when trying to read from prealloc space.
ext4_ext_get_blocks() returns the number of blocks allocated with buffer
head unmapped for a read from prealloc space.  This is needed so that
delayed allocation doesn't do block reservation for prealloc space
since the blocks are already reserved on disk.  Mark the buffer head
unwritten.  Some code paths try to read the block if the buffer_head is
not new and no uptodate.  Marking the buffer head unwritten avoids this
reading.

e067ba0078 ext4: make ext4_ext_get_blocks always return <= max_blocks
ext4_ext_get_blocks() returns number of blocks allocated with buffer
heads unmapped for a read from prealloc space.  This is needed so that
delayed allocation doesn't do block reservation for prealloc space since
the blocks are already resevred on disk.  Fix ext4_ext_get_blocks to not
return greater than max_blocks, since some of the code paths cannot
handle such a return value.

fd28784adc ext4: Fix fallocate to update the file size in each transaction
ext4_fallocate needs to update file size in each transaction.  Otherwise
if we crash the file size won't be seen.  We were also not marking
the inode dirty after updating file size before.  Also when we try to
retry allocation due to ENOSPC, make sure we reset the variable ret so
that we actually do a retry.

3977c965ec ext4: zero out small extents when writing to prealloc area.
If the preallocated area is small zero out the full extent
instead of splitting them. This should avoid the "write
every alternate block" problem that could grow the number
of extents dramatically.

093a088b76 ext4: ENOSPC error handling for writing to an uninitialized extent
This patch handles possible ENOSPC errors when writing to an
uninitialized extent in case the filesystem is full.

A write to a prealloc area causes the split of an unititalized extent
into initialized and uninitialized extents.  If we don't have
space to add new extent information, instead of returning error,
convert the existing uninitialized extent to initialized one.  We
need to zero out the blocks corresponding to the entire extent to
prevent uninitialized data reaching userspace.

f5ab0d1f8f ext4: Fix BUG when writing to an unitialized extent
This patch fixes a bug when writing to preallocated but uninitialized
blocks, which resulted in a BUG in fs/buffer.c saying that the buffer
is not mapped.

When writing to a file, ext4_get_block_wrap() is called with create=1 in
order to request that blocks be allocated if necessary.  It currently
calls ext4_get_blocks() with create=0 in order to do a lookup first.  If
the inode contains an unitialized data block, the buffer head is left
unampped, which ext4_get_blocks_wrap() returns, causing the BUG.

We fix this by checking to see if the buffer head is unmapped, and if
so, we make sure the the buffer head is mapped by calling
ext4_ext_get_blocks with create=1.

74d3487fc8 ext4: modify block allocation algorithm for the last group
When a directory inode is allocated in the last group and the last group
contains less than s_blocks_per_group blocks, the initial block allocated
for the directory is not always allocated in the same group as the
directory inode, but in one of the first groups of the filesystem (group 1
for example).
Depending on the current process's pid, ext4_find_near() and 
ext4_ext_find_goal() can return a block number greater than the maximum
blocks count in the filesystem and in that case the block will be not
allocated in the same group as the inode.

The following patch fixes the problem.

Should the modification also be done in ext2/3 code?
