91ac6f4331 ext4: Make non-journal fsync work properly
Teach ext4_write_inode() and ext4_do_update_inode() about non-journal
mode:  If we're not using a journal, ext4_write_inode() now calls
ext4_do_update_inode() (after getting the iloc via ext4_get_inode_loc())
with a new "do_sync" parameter.  If that parameter is nonzero _and_ we're
not using a journal, ext4_do_update_inode() calls sync_dirty_buffer()
instead of ext4_handle_dirty_metadata().

This problem was found in power-fail testing, checking the amount of
loss of files and blocks after a power failure when using fsync() and
when not using fsync().  It turned out that using fsync() was actually
worse than not doing so, possibly because it increased the likelihood
that the inodes would remain unflushed and would therefore be lost at
the power failure.

fe188c0e08 ext4: Assure that metadata blocks are written during fsync in no journal mode
When there is no journal present, we must attach buffer heads
associated with extent tree and indirect blocks to the inode's
mapping->private_list via mark_buffer_dirty_inode() so that
ext4_sync_file() --- which is called to service fsync() and
fdatasync() system calls --- can write out the inode's metadata blocks
by calling sync_mapping_buffers().

c7acb4c166 ext4: Use bforget() in no journal mode for ext4_journal_{forget,revoke}()
When ext4 is using a journal, a metadata block which is deallocated
must be passed into the journal layer so it can be dropped from the
current transaction and/or revoked.  This is done by calling the
functions ext4_journal_forget() and ext4_journal_revoke(), which call
jbd2_journal_forget(), and jbd2_journal_revoke(), respectively.

Since the jbd2_journal_forget() and jbd2_journal_revoke() call
bforget(), if ext4 is not using a journal, ext4_journal_forget() and
ext4_journal_revoke() must call bforget() to avoid a dirty metadata
block overwriting a block after it has been reallocated and reused for
another inode's data block.

daea696dba ext4: Remove unneeded BUG_ON() in ext4_move_extents()
The ext4_move_extents() functions checks with BUG_ON() whether the
exchanged blocks count accords with request blocks count.  But, if the
target range (orig_start + len) includes sparse block(s), 'moved_len'
(exchanged blocks count) does not agree with 'len' (request blocks
count), since sparse block is not counted in 'moved_len'.  This causes
us to hit the BUG_ON(), even though the function succeeded.

To solve a lock inversion problem, we implement part of the
range_cyclic algorithm in ext4_da_writepages().  (See commit 2acf2c26
for more details.)

As part of that change wbc->range_start was modified by ext4's
writepages function, which causes its callers to get confused since
they aren't expecting the filesystem to modify it.  The simplest fix
is to save and restore wbc->range_start in ext4_da_writepages.

a36b44988c ext4: use ext4_grpblk_t more extensively
unsigned  short is potentially too small to track blocks within

we have _lo / _hi bits for group blocks with the intent to go

There are many more places where we use unsigned/int/unsigned int
to contain a group block but this should at least fix all the
short types.

a13fb1a453 ext4: Add feature set check helper for mount & remount paths
A user reported that although his root ext4 filesystem was mounting
fine, other filesystems would not mount, with the:

"Filesystem with huge files cannot be mounted RDWR without CONFIG_LBDAF"

error on his 32-bit box built without CONFIG_LBDAF.  This is because
the test at mount time for this situation was not being re-checked
on remount, and the normal boot process makes an ro->rw transition,
so this was being missed.

Refactor to make a common helper function to test the filesystem
features against the type of mount request (RO vs. RW) so that we 
stay consistent.

38877f4e8d simplify some logic in ext4_mb_normalize_request
While reading through some of the mballoc code it seems that a couple
spots in the size normalization function could be streamlined.

The test for non-overlapping PAs can be or'd for the start & end
conditions, and the tests for adjacent PAs can be else-if'd - 
it's essentially independently testing:

	if (A + B <= C)
		...
	if (A > C)
		...

These cannot both be true so it seems like the else-if might
be slightly more efficient and/or informative.

487caeef9f ext4: Fix possible deadlock between ext4_truncate() and ext4_get_blocks()
During truncate we are sometimes forced to start a new transaction as
the amount of blocks to be journaled is both quite large and hard to
predict. So far we restarted a transaction while holding i_data_sem
and that violates lock ordering because i_data_sem ranks below a
transaction start (and it can lead to a real deadlock with
ext4_get_blocks() mapping blocks in some page while having a
transaction open).

We fix the problem by dropping the i_data_sem before restarting the
transaction and acquire it afterwards. It's slightly subtle that this
works:

1) By the time ext4_truncate() is called, all the page cache for the
truncated part of the file is dropped so get_block() should not be
called on it (we only have to invalidate extent cache after we
reacquire i_data_sem because some extent from not-truncated part could
extend also into the part we are going to truncate).

2) Writes, migrate or defrag hold i_mutex so they are stopped for all
the time of the truncate.

This bug has been found and analyzed by Theodore Tso <tytso@mit.edu>.

50797481a7 ext4: Avoid group preallocation for closed files
Currently the group preallocation code tries to find a large (512)
free block from which to do per-cpu group allocation for small files.
The problem with this scheme is that it leaves the filesystem horribly
fragmented.  In the worst case, if the filesystem is unmounted and
remounted (after a system shutdown, for example) we forget the fact
that wee were using a particular (now-partially filled) 512 block
extent.  So the next time we try to allocate space for a small file,
we will find *another* completely free 512 block chunk to allocate
small files.  Given that there are 32,768 blocks in a block group,
after 64 iterations of "mount, write one 4k file in a directory,
unmount", the block group will have 64 files, each separated by 511
blocks, and the block group will no longer have any free 512
completely free chunks of blocks for group preallocation space.

So if we try to allocate blocks for a file that has been closed, such
that we know the final size of the file, and the filesystem is not
busy, avoid using group preallocation.

4ba74d00a2 ext4: Fix bugs in mballoc's stream allocation mode
The logic around sbi->s_mb_last_group and sbi->s_mb_last_start was all
screwed up.  These fields were getting unconditionally all the time,
set even when stream allocation had not taken place, and if they were
being used when the file was smaller than s_mb_stream_request, which
is when the allocation should _not_ be doing stream allocation.

Fix this by determining whether or not we stream allocation should
take place once, in ext4_mb_group_or_file(), and setting a flag which
gets used in ext4_mb_regular_allocator() and ext4_mb_use_best_found().
This simplifies the code and assures that we are consistently using
(or not using) the stream allocation logic.

After the patch I posted last week regarding buffer head ref leaks in

The patch below fixes the issues I found; these can occur even when a

The change to inode.c fixes a double release if

The changes to namei.c are more complicated.  add_dirent_to_buf() will
release the input buffer head EXCEPT when it returns -ENOSPC.  There are
some callers of this routine that don't always do the brelse() in the event
that -ENOSPC is returned.  Unfortunately, to put this fix into ext4_add_entry()
required capturing the return value of make_indexed_dir() and
add_dirent_to_buf().

024eab4d5b ext4: Fix memory leak fix when mounting an ext4 filesystem
The allocation of the ext4_group_info array was moved to a new
function ext4_mb_add_group_info() in commit 5f21b0e6 so that online
resize would use a common (and correct) codepath.  Unfortunately, the
call to the new ext4_mb_add_group_info() function was added without
removing the code which originally allocated the array.  This caused a
memory leak each time an ext4 filesystem was mounted.

The fix is simple; remove the code that did the original allocation,
since it is no longer needed.

1d5ccd1c42 ext[234]: move over to 'check_acl' permission model
Don't implement per-filesystem 'extX_permission()' functions that have
to be called for every path component operation, and instead just expose
the actual ACL checking so that the VFS layer can now do it for us.

833576b362 ext4: Fix ext4_mb_initialize_context() to initialize all fields
Pavel Roskin pointed out that kmemcheck indicated that
ext4_mb_store_history() was accessing uninitialized values of
ac->ac_tail and ac->ac_buddy leading to garbage in the mballoc
history.  Fix this by initializing the entire structure to all zeros
first.

Also, two fields were getting doubly initialized by the caller of
ext4_mb_initialize_context, so remove them for efficiency's sake.

e6b5d30104 ext4: Fix buffer head reference leak in no-journal mode
We found a problem with buffer head reference leaks when using an ext4
partition without a journal.  In particular, calls to ext4_forget() would
not to a brelse() on the input buffer head, which will cause pages they
belong to to not be reclaimable.

Further investigation showed that all places where ext4_journal_forget() and
ext4_journal_revoke() are called are subject to the same problem.  The patch
below changes __ext4_journal_forget/__ext4_journal_revoke to do an explicit
release of the buffer head when the journal handle isn't valid.

405f55712d headers: smp_lock.h redux
* Remove smp_lock.h from files which don't need it (including some headers!)
* Add smp_lock.h to files which do need it
* Make smp_lock.h include conditional in hardirq.h
  It's needed only for one kernel_locked() usage which is under CONFIG_PREEMPT

  This will make hardirq.h inclusion cheaper for every PREEMPT=n config
  (which includes allmodconfig/allyesconfig, BTW)
