ext4: replace open coded nofail allocation in ext4_free_blocks()

2015-07-05T16:33:44+00:00

ext4_free_blocks is looping around the allocation request and mimics __GFP_NOFAIL behavior without any allocation fallback strategy. Let's remove the open coded loop and replace it with __GFP_NOFAIL. Without the flag the allocator has no way to find out never-fail requirement and cannot help in any way. Signed-off-by: Michal Hocko Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

Merge branch 'for-4.2/writeback' of git://git.kernel.dk/linux-block

Pull cgroup writeback support from Jens Axboe: "This is the big pull request for adding cgroup writeback support. This code has been in development for a long time, and it has been simmering in for-next for a good chunk of this cycle too. This is one of those problems that has been talked about for at least half a decade, finally there's a solution and code to go with it.

ext4: mballoc: avoid 20-argument function call

2015-06-15T04:32:58+00:00

Making a function call with 20 arguments is rather expensive in both stack and .text. In this case, doing the formatting manually doesn't make it any less readable, so we might as well save 155 bytes of .text and 112 bytes of stack. Signed-off-by: Rasmus Villemoes

ext4: return error code from ext4_mb_good_group()

2015-06-08T15:40:40+00:00

Currently ext4_mb_good_group() only returns 0 or 1 depending on whether the allocation group is suitable for use or not. However we might get various errors and fail while initializing new group including -EIO which would never get propagated up the call chain. This might lead to an endless loop at writeback when we're trying to find a good group to allocate from and we fail to initialize new group (read error for example). Fix this by returning proper error code from ext4_mb_good_group() and using it in ext4_mb_regular_allocator(). In ext4_mb_regular_allocator() we will always return only the first occurred error from ext4_mb_good_group() and we only propagate it back to the caller if we do not get any other errors and we fail to allocate any blocks. Note that with other modes than errors=continue, we will fail immediately in ext4_mb_good_group() in case of error, however with errors=continue we should try to continue using the file system, that's why we're not going to fail immediately when we see an error from ext4_mb_good_group(), but rather when we fail to find a suitable block group to allocate from due to an problem in group initialization.

ext4: try to initialize all groups we can in case of failure on ppc64

2015-06-08T15:38:37+00:00

Currently on the machines with page size > block size when initializing block group buddy cache we initialize it for all the block group bitmaps in the page. However in the case of read error, checksum error, or if a single bitmap is in any way corrupted we would fail to initialize all of the bitmaps. This is problematic because we will not have access to the other allocation groups even though those might be perfectly fine and usable. Fix this by reading all the bitmaps instead of error out on the first problem and simply skip the bitmaps which were either not read properly, or are not valid.

writeback: separate out include/linux/backing-dev-defs.h

2015-06-02T14:33:34+00:00

With the planned cgroup writeback support, backing-dev related declarations will be more widely used across block and cgroup; unfortunately, including backing-dev.h from include/linux/blkdev.h makes cyclic include dependency quite likely. This patch separates out backing-dev-defs.h which only has the essential definitions and updates blkdev.h to include it. c files which need access to more backing-dev details now include backing-dev.h directly. This takes backing-dev.h off the common include dependency chain making it a lot easier to use it across block and cgroup. v2: fs/fat build failure fixed.

ext4: Remove an unnecessary check for NULL before iput()

2014-11-26T01:01:37+00:00

The iput() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software. Signed-off-by: Markus Elfring Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o

2014-11-25T18:08:04+00:00
