I can't think of any valid reason for ext4 to not use barriers when
they are available; I believe this is necessary for filesystem
integrity in the face of a volatile write cache on storage.
An administrator who trusts that the cache is sufficiently battery-
backed (and power supplies are sufficiently redundant, etc...)
can always turn it back off again.
SuSE has carried such a patch for ext3 for quite some time now.
Also document the mount option while we're at it.

If a journal checksum error is detected, the ext4 filesystem will call
ext4_error(), and the mount will either continue, become a read-only
mount, or cause a kernel panic based on the superblock flags
indicating the user's preference of what to do in case of filesystem
corruption being detected.

There is a bug when we are trying to verify that the reserve inode's
double indirect blocks point back to the primary gdt blocks. The fix is
obvious, we need to mod the gdb count by the addr's per block. This was
verified using the same testcase as with the ext3 equivalent of this
patch.

With FLEX_BG block bitmaps, inode bitmaps and inode tables _MAY_ be
allocated outside the group. So, when initializing an uninitialized
block bitmap, we need to check the location of this blocks before
setting the corresponding bits in the block bitmap of the newly
initialized group. Also return the right number of free blocks when
counting the available free blocks in uninit group.

If the block allocator gets blocks out of system zone ext4 calls
ext4_error. But if the file system is mounted with errors=continue
retry block allocation. We need to mark the system zone blocks as
in use to make sure retry don't pick them again
System zone is the block range mapping block bitmap, inode bitmap and inode
table.

In case of inode preallocation, the number of blocks to allocate depends
on the file size and it is calculated in ext4_mb_normalize_request().
Each group in the filesystem is then checked to find one that can be
used for allocation; this is done in ext4_mb_good_group().
When a file bigger than 4MB is created, the requested number of blocks
to preallocate, calculated by ext4_mb_normalize_request is 4096.
However for a filesystem with 1KB block size, the maximum size of the
block buddies used by the multiblock allocator is 2048, so none of
groups in the filesystem satisfies the search criteria in
ext4_mb_good_group(). Scanning all the filesystem groups impacts
performance.
This was demonstrated by using a freshly created, 70GB, 1k block
filesystem, with caches dropped write before the test via
/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches, and with the filesystem mounted with
nodelalloc and nodealloc,nomballoc. The time to write an 8 megabyte
file using "dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test/fo bs=8k count=1k conv=fsync"
took 35.5091 seconds (236kB/s) with nodellaloc, and 0.233754 seconds
(35.9 MB/s) with the nodelloc,nomballoc options. With a 1TB partition,
it took several minutes to write 8MB!
This patch modifies the algorithm in ext4_mb_normalize_group_request to
calculate the number of blocks to allocate by taking into account the
maximum size of free blocks chunks handled by the multiblock allocator.
It has also been tested for filesystems with 2KB and 4KB block sizes to
ensure that those cases don't regress.

We should not allow user to change quota mount options when quota is
just suspended. It would make mount options and internal quota state
inconsistent. Also we should not allow user to change quota format when
quota is turned on. On the other hand we can just silently ignore when
some option is set to the value it already has (mount does this on
remount).

This fix the uninitialized bs when we try to replace a xattr entry in
ibody with the new value which require more than free space.
This situation only happens we format ext3/4 with inode size more than 128 and
we have put xattr entries both in ibody and block. The consequences about
this bug is we will lost the xattr block which pointed by i_file_acl with all
xattr entires in it. We will alloc a new xattr block and put that large value
entry in it. The old xattr block will become orphan block.

Fail migrate if we allocated new blocks via mmap write.
If we write to holes in the file via mmap, we end up allocating
new blocks. This block allocation happens without taking inode->i_mutex.
Since migrate is protected by i_mutex and migrate expects that no
new blocks get allocated during migrate, fail migrate if new blocks
get allocated.
We can't take inode->i_mutex in the mmap write path because that
would result in a locking order violation between i_mutex and mmap_sem.
Also adding a separate rw_sempahore for protection is really high overhead
for a rare operation such as migrate.

This patch handles possible ENOSPC errors when writing to an
uninitialized extent in case the filesystem is full.
A write to a prealloc area causes the split of an unititalized extent
into initialized and uninitialized extents. If we don't have
space to add new extent information, instead of returning error,
convert the existing uninitialized extent to initialized one. We
need to zero out the blocks corresponding to the entire extent to
prevent uninitialized data reaching userspace.

Currently fdatasync is identical to fsync in ext3.
I think fdatasync should skip journal flush in data=ordered and
data=writeback mode when it overwrites to already-instantiated blocks on
HDD. When I_DIRTY_DATASYNC flag is not set, fdatasync should skip journal
writeout because this indicates only atime or/and mtime updates.
Following patch is the same approach of ext2's fsync code(ext2_sync_file).
I did a performance test using the sysbench.
#sysbench --num-threads=128 --max-requests=50000 --test=fileio --file-total-size=128G
--file-test-mode=rndwr --file-fsync-mode=fdatasync run
