This flag has been generalized to split an unwritten extent when we do
dio or dioread_nolock writeback, or to avoid merge new extents which was
created by extents split. Update some related comments too.

In the iomap_write_iter(), the iomap buffered write frame does not hold
any locks between querying the inode extent mapping info and performing
page cache writes. As a result, the extent mapping can be changed due to
concurrent I/O in flight. Similarly, in the iomap_writepage_map(), the
write-back process faces a similar problem: concurrent changes can
invalidate the extent mapping before the I/O is submitted.
Therefore, both of these processes must recheck the mapping info after
acquiring the folio lock. To address this, similar to XFS, we propose
introducing an extent sequence number to serve as a validity cookie for
the extent. After commit 24b7a2331fcd ("ext4: clairfy the rules for
modifying extents"), we can ensure the extent information should always
be processed through the extent status tree, and the extent status tree
is always uptodate under i_rwsem or invalidate_lock or folio lock, so
it's safe to introduce this sequence number. The sequence number will be
increased whenever the extent status tree changes, preparing for the
buffered write iomap conversion.
Besides, this mechanism is also applicable for the moving extents case.
In move_extent_per_page(), it also needs to reacquire data_sem and check
the mapping info again under the folio lock.

After mpage_map_and_submit_extent() supports restarting handle if
credits are insufficient during allocating blocks, it is more likely to
exit the current mapping iteration and continue to process the current
processing partially mapped folio again. The existing tracepoints are
not sufficient to track this situation, so enhance the tracepoints to
track the writeback position and the return value before and after
submitting the folios.

mballoc criterias have historically been called by numbers
like CR0, CR1... however this makes it confusing to understand
what each criteria is about.
Change these criterias from numbers to symbolic names and add
relevant comments. While we are at it, also reformat and add some
comments to ext4_seq_mb_stats_show() for better readability.
Additionally, define CR_FAST which signifies the criteria
below which we can make quicker decisions like:
* quitting early if (free block < requested len)
* avoiding to scan free extents smaller than required len.
* avoiding to initialize buddy cache and work with existing cache
* limiting prefetches

CR1_5 aims to optimize allocations which can't be satisfied in CR1. The
fact that we couldn't find a group in CR1 suggests that it would be
difficult to find a continuous extent to compleltely satisfy our
allocations. So before falling to the slower CR2, in CR1.5 we
proactively trim the the preallocations so we can find a group with
(free / fragments) big enough. This speeds up our allocation at the
cost of slightly reduced preallocation.
The patch also adds a new sysfs tunable:
* /sys/fs/ext4/<partition>/mb_cr1_5_max_trim_order
This controls how much CR1.5 can trim a request before falling to CR2.
For example, for a request of order 7 and max trim order 2, CR1.5 can
trim this upto order 5.

trace_ext4_releasepage(page) to trace_ext4_release_folio(folio)
As a minor bit of optimization to avoid an extra dereferencing,
since both of the above functions already were dereferencing
folio->mapping->host, hence change the tracepoint argument to take

Add support for writeback of journalled data directly into
ext4_writepages() instead of offloading it to write_cache_pages(). This
actually significantly simplifies the code and reduces code duplication.
For checkpointing of committed data we can use ext4_writepages()
rightaway the same way as writeback of ordered data uses it on
transaction commit. For journalling of dirty mapped pages, we need to
add a special case to mpage_prepare_extent_to_map() to add all page
buffers to the journal.

fast-commit of create, link, and unlink operations in encrypted
directories is completely broken because the unencrypted filenames are
being written to the fast-commit journal instead of the encrypted
filenames. These operations can't be replayed, as encryption keys
aren't present at journal replay time. It is also an information leak.
Until if/when we can get this working properly, make encrypted directory
operations ineligible for fast-commit.
Note that fast-commit operations on encrypted regular files continue to
be allowed, as they seem to work.

Implement support for FS_IOC_GETFSLABEL and FS_IOC_SETFSLABEL ioctls for
online reading and setting of file system label.
ext4_ioctl_getlabel() is simple, just get the label from the primary
superblock. This might not be the first sb on the file system if
'sb=' mount option is used.
In ext4_ioctl_setlabel() we update what ext4 currently views as a
primary superblock and then proceed to update backup superblocks. There
are two caveats:
- the primary superblock might not be the first superblock and so it
might not be the one used by userspace tools if read directly
off the disk.
- because the primary superblock might not be the first superblock we
potentialy have to update it as part of backup superblock update.
However the first sb location is a bit more complicated than the rest
so we have to account for that.
The superblock modification is created generic enough so the
infrastructure can be used for other potential superblock modification
operations, such as chaning UUID.
Tested with generic/492 with various configurations. I also checked the
behavior with 'sb=' mount options, including very large file systems
with and without sparse_super/sparse_super2.

operations
- ext4_fc_track_range() - Track changed logical block offsets
inodes
- ext4_fc_track_inode() - Track inodes
- ext4_fc_mark_ineligible() - Mark file system fast commit

- ext4_fc_start_update() / ext4_fc_stop_update() /
ext4_fc_start_ineligible() / ext4_fc_stop_ineligible() These
functions are useful for co-ordinating inode updates with
commits.
(B) Main commit Path
This part consists of functions to convert updates tracked in
in-memory data structures into on-disk commits. Function
ext4_fc_commit() is the main entry point to commit path.

In the scenario of writing sparse files, the per-inode prealloc list may
be very long, resulting in high overhead for ext4_mb_use_preallocated().
To circumvent this problem, we limit the maximum length of per-inode
prealloc list to 512 and allow users to modify it.
After patching, we observed that the sys ratio of cpu has dropped, and
the system throughput has increased significantly. We created a process
to write the sparse file, and the running time of the process on the
fixed kernel was significantly reduced, as follows:
Running time on unfixed kernel：
[root@TENCENT64 ~]# time taskset 0x01 ./sparse /data1/sparce.dat
real 0m2.051s
user 0m0.008s
sys 0m2.026s
Running time on fixed kernel：
[root@TENCENT64 ~]# time taskset 0x01 ./sparse /data1/sparce.dat
real 0m0.471s
user 0m0.004s
sys 0m0.395s

For file systems where we can afford to keep the buddy bitmaps cached,
we can speed up initial writes to large file systems by starting to
load the block allocation bitmaps as soon as the file system is
mounted. This won't work well for _super_ large file systems, or
memory constrained systems, so we only enable this when it is
requested via a mount option.

Currently while doing block allocation grp->bb_free may be getting
modified if discard is happening in parallel.
For e.g. consider a case where there are lot of threads who have
preallocated lot of blocks and there is a thread which is trying
to discard all of this group's PA. Now it could happen that
we see all of those group's bb_free is zero and fail the allocation
while there is sufficient space if we free up all the PA.
So this patch adds another flag "EXT4_MB_STRICT_CHECK" which will be set
if we are unable to allocate any blocks in the first try (since we may
not have considered blocks about to be discarded from PA lists).
So during retry attempt to allocate blocks we will use ext4_lock_group()
for checking if the group is good or not.

As new ext4_map_blocks() flags have been added, not all have gotten flag
bit to string translations to make tracepoint output more readable.
Fix that, and go one step further by adding a translation for the
EXT4_EX_NOCACHE flag as well. The EXT4_EX_FORCE_CACHE flag can never
be set in a tracepoint in the current code, so there's no need to
bother with a translation for it right now.

So far we have reserved only relatively high fixed amount of revoke
credits for each transaction. We over-reserved by large amount for most
cases but when freeing large directories or files with data journalling,
the fixed amount is not enough. In fact the worst case estimate is
inconveniently large (maximum extent size) for freeing of one extent.
We fix this by doing proper estimate of the amount of blocks that need
to be revoked when removing blocks from the inode due to truncate or
hole punching and otherwise reserve just a small amount of revoke
credits for each transaction to accommodate freeing of xattrs block or
so.

Some time back, nfsd switched from calling vfs_fsync() to using a new
commit_metadata() hook in export_operations(). If the file system did
not provide a commit_metadata() hook, it fell back to using
sync_inode_metadata(). Unfortunately doesn't work on all file
systems. In particular, it doesn't work on ext4 due to how the inode
gets journalled --- the VFS writeback code will not always call
ext4_write_inode().
So we need to provide our own ext4_nfs_commit_metdata() method which
calls ext4_write_inode() directly.

Modify ext4_ext_remove_space() and the code it calls to correct the
reserved cluster count for pending reservations (delayed allocated
clusters shared with allocated blocks) when a block range is removed
from the extent tree. Pending reservations may be found for the clusters
at the ends of written or unwritten extents when a block range is removed.
If a physical cluster at the end of an extent is freed, it's necessary
to increment the reserved cluster count to maintain correct accounting
if the corresponding logical cluster is shared with at least one
delayed and unwritten extent as found in the extents status tree.
Add a new function, ext4_rereserve_cluster(), to reapply a reservation
on a delayed allocated cluster sharing blocks with a freed allocated
cluster. To avoid ENOSPC on reservation, a flag is applied to
ext4_free_blocks() to briefly defer updating the freeclusters counter
when an allocated cluster is freed. This prevents another thread
from allocating the freed block before the reservation can be reapplied.
Redefine the partial cluster object as a struct to carry more state
information and to clarify the code using it.
Adjust the conditional code structure in ext4_ext_remove_space to
reduce the indentation level in the main body of the code to improve
readability.

The code in ext4_da_map_blocks sometimes reserves space for more
delayed allocated clusters than it should, resulting in premature
ENOSPC, exceeded quota, and inaccurate free space reporting.
Fix this by checking for written and unwritten blocks shared in the
same cluster with the newly delayed allocated block. A cluster
reservation should not be made for a cluster for which physical space
has already been allocated.

Ext4 contains a few functions that are used to search for delayed
extents or blocks in the extents status tree. Rather than duplicate
code to add new functions to search for extents with different status
values, such as written or a combination of delayed and unwritten,
generalize the existing code to search for caller-specified extents
status values. Also, move this code into extents_status.c where it
is better associated with the data structures it operates upon, and
where it can be more readily used to implement new extents status tree
functions that might want a broader scope for i_es_lock.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they b |
