[ Upstream commit a0851ea9cd555c333795b85ddd908898b937c4e1 ]

When committing transaction in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction(), the
disk caches for the filesystem device should be flushed before updating
the journal tail sequence. However, this step is missed if the journal
is not located on the filesystem device. As a result, the filesystem may
become inconsistent following a power failure or system crash. Fix it by
ensuring that the filesystem device is flushed appropriately.

commit 4aa99c71e42ad60178c1154ec24e3df9c684fb67 upstream.

There's no reason to have jbd2_journal_get_max_txn_bufs() public
function. Currently all users are internal and can use
journal-&gt;j_max_transaction_buffers instead. This saves some unnecessary
recomputations of the limit as a bonus which becomes important as this
function gets more complex in the following patch.

There's issue when do io test:

Analyzed informations from vmcore as follows:
(1) There are about 5k+ jbd2_inode in 'commit_transaction-&gt;t_inode_list';
(2) Now is processing the 855th jbd2_inode;
(3) JBD2 task has TIF_NEED_RESCHED flag;
(4) There's no pags in address_space around the 855th jbd2_inode;
(5) There are some process is doing drop caches;
(6) Mounted with 'nodioread_nolock' option;
(7) 128 CPUs;

According to informations from vmcore we know 'journal-&gt;j_list_lock' spin lock
competition is fierce. So journal_finish_inode_data_buffers() maybe process
slowly. Theoretically, there is scheduling point in the filemap_fdatawait_range_keep_errors().
However, if inode's address_space has no pages which taged with PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK,
will not call cond_resched(). So may lead to soft lockup.
journal_finish_inode_data_buffers
  filemap_fdatawait_range_keep_errors
    __filemap_fdatawait_range
      while (index &lt;= end)
        nr_pages = pagevec_lookup_range_tag(&amp;pvec, mapping, &amp;index, end, PAGECACHE_TAG_WRITEBACK);
        if (!nr_pages)
           break;    --&gt; If 'nr_pages' is equal zero will break, then will not call cond_resched()
        for (i = 0; i &lt; nr_pages; i++)
          wait_on_page_writeback(page);
        cond_resched();

To solve above issue, add scheduling point in the journal_finish_inode_data_buffers();

<title>jbd2: wake up journal waiters in FIFO order, not LIFO</title>

commit 34fc8768ec6089565d6d73bad26724083cecf7bd upstream.

LIFO wakeup order is unfair and sometimes leads to a journal
user not being able to get a journal handle for hundreds of
transactions in a row.

FIFO wakeup can make things more fair.

[ Upstream commit a89573ce4ad32f19f43ec669771726817e185be0 ]

We catch an assert problem in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() when
doing fsstress and request falut injection tests. The problem is
happened in a race condition between jbd2_journal_commit_transaction()
and ext4_end_io_end(). Firstly, ext4_writepages() writeback dirty pages
and start reserved handle, and then the journal was aborted due to some
previous metadata IO error, jbd2_journal_abort() start to commit current
running transaction, the committing procedure could be raced by
ext4_end_io_end() and lead to subtract j_reserved_credits twice from
commit_transaction-&gt;t_outstanding_credits, finally the
t_outstanding_credits is mistakenly smaller than t_nr_buffers and
trigger assert.

kjournald2           kworker

jbd2_journal_commit_transaction()
 write_unlock(&amp;journal-&gt;j_state_lock);
 atomic_sub(j_reserved_credits, t_outstanding_credits); //sub once

     	             jbd2_journal_start_reserved()
     	              start_this_handle()  //detect aborted journal
     	              jbd2_journal_free_reserved()  //get running transaction
                       read_lock(&amp;journal-&gt;j_state_lock)
     	                __jbd2_journal_unreserve_handle()
     	               atomic_sub(j_reserved_credits, t_outstanding_credits);
                       //sub again
                       read_unlock(&amp;journal-&gt;j_state_lock);

 journal-&gt;j_running_transaction = NULL;
 J_ASSERT(t_nr_buffers &lt;= t_outstanding_credits) //bomb!!!

Fix this issue by using journal-&gt;j_state_lock to protect the subtraction
in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction().

After commit 96f1e0974575, we no longer hold the j_state_lock while
iterating over the list of reserved handles in
jbd2_journal_commit_transaction().  This potentially allows the
journal_head to be freed by journal_unmap_buffer while the commit
codepath is also trying to free the BJ_Reserved buffers.  Keeping
j_state_lock held while trying extends hold time of the lock
minimally, and solves this issue.

for ongoing fast commits to complete until the transaction enters
T_FLUSH state. Document this optimization.

<content type='text'>
The on-disk superblock field sb-&gt;s_maxlen represents the total size of
the journal including the fast commit area and is no more the max
number of blocks available for a transaction. The maximum number of
blocks available to a transaction is reduced by the number of fast
commit blocks. So, this patch renames j_maxlen to j_total_len to
better represent its intent. Also, it adds a function to calculate max
number of bufs available for a transaction.

Introduce journal callbacks to allow different behaviors
for an inode in journal_submit|finish_inode_data_buffers().

The existing users of the current behavior (ext4, ocfs2)
are adapted to use the previously exported functions
that implement the current behavior.

Users are callers of jbd2_journal_inode_ranged_write|wait(),
which adds the inode to the transaction's inode list with
the JI_WRITE|WAIT_DATA flags. Only ext4 and ocfs2 in-tree.

Both CONFIG_EXT4_FS and CONFIG_OCSFS2_FS select CONFIG_JBD2,
which builds fs/jbd2/commit.c and journal.c that define and
export the functions, so we can call directly in ext4/ocfs2.
