ext4: make directory inode spreading reflect flexbg size

2022-09-22T02:11:55+00:00

Currently the Orlov inode allocator searches for free inodes for a directory only in flex block groups with at most inodes_per_group/16 more directory inodes than average per flex block group. However with growing size of flex block group this becomes unnecessarily strict. Scale allowed difference from average directory count per flex block group with flex block group size as we do with other metrics.

ext4: Support for checksumming from journal triggers

2021-08-31T03:36:50+00:00

JBD2 layer support triggers which are called when journaling layer moves buffer to a certain state. We can use the frozen trigger, which gets called when buffer data is frozen and about to be written out to the journal, to compute block checksums for some buffer types (similarly as does ocfs2). This avoids unnecessary repeated recomputation of the checksum (at the cost of larger window where memory corruption won't be caught by checksumming) and is even necessary when there are unsynchronized updaters of the checksummed data. So add superblock and journal trigger type arguments to ext4_journal_get_write_access() and ext4_journal_get_create_access() so that frozen triggers can be set accordingly. Also add inode argument to ext4_walk_page_buffers() and all the callbacks used with that function for the same purpose. This patch is mostly only a change of prototype of the above mentioned functions and a few small helpers. Real checksumming will come later.

ext4: fix accessing uninit percpu counter variable with fast_commit

2021-06-03T01:40:42+00:00

When running generic/527 with fast_commit configuration, the following issue is seen on Power. With fast_commit, during ext4_fc_replay() (which can be called from ext4_fill_super()), if inode eviction happens then it can access an uninitialized percpu counter variable. This patch adds the check before accessing the counters in ext4_free_inode() path.

ext4: fix check to prevent false positive report of incorrect used inodes

2021-04-09T15:34:58+00:00

Commit <50122847007> ("ext4: fix check to prevent initializing reserved inodes") check the block group zero and prevent initializing reserved inodes. But in some special cases, the reserved inode may not all belong to the group zero, it may exist into the second group if we format filesystem below. mkfs.ext4 -b 4096 -g 8192 -N 1024 -I 4096 /dev/sda So, it will end up triggering a false positive report of a corrupted file system. This patch fix it by avoid check reserved inodes if no free inode blocks will be zeroed.

fs: introduce two inode i_{u,g}id initialization helpers

Give filesystem two little helpers that do the right thing when initializing the i_uid and i_gid fields on idmapped and non-idmapped mounts. Filesystems shouldn't have to be concerned with too many details.

fs: document and rename fsid helpers

2021-03-23T10:13:32+00:00

Vivek pointed out that the fs{g,u}id_into_mnt() naming scheme can be misleading as it could be understood as implying they do the exact same thing as i_{g,u}id_into_mnt(). The original motivation for this naming scheme was to signal to callers that the helpers will always take care to map the k{g,u}id such that the ownership is expressed in terms of the mnt_users. Get rid of the confusion by renaming those helpers to something more sensible. Al suggested mapped_fs{g,u}id() which seems a really good fit. Usually filesystems don't need to bother with these helpers directly only in some cases where they allocate objects that carry {g,u}ids which are either filesystem specific (e.g. xfs quota objects) or don't have a clean set of helpers as inodes have.
