ext4: clean up online defrag bugs in move_extent_per_page()
Non-full list of bugs: 1) uninitialized extent optimization does not hold page's lock, and simply replace brunches after that writeback code goes crazy because block mapping changed under it's feets kernel BUG at fs/ext4/inode.c:1434! ( 288'th xfstress) 2) uninitialized extent may became initialized right after we drop i_data_sem, so extent state must be rechecked 3) Locked pages goes uptodate via following sequence: ->readpage(page); lock_page(page); use_that_page(page) But after readpage() one may invalidate it because it is uptodate and unlocked (reclaimer does that) As result kernel bug at include/linux/buffer_head.c:133! 4) We call write_begin() with already opened stansaction which result in following deadlock: ->move_extent_per_page() ->ext4_journal_start()-> hold journal transaction ->write_begin() ->ext4_da_write_begin() ->ext4_nonda_switch() ->writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle() --> will wait for journal_stop() 5) try_to_release_page() may fail and it does fail if one of page's bh was pinned by journal 6) If we about to change page's mapping we MUST hold it's lock during entire remapping procedure, this is true for both pages(original and donor one) Fixes: - Avoid (1) and (2) simply by temproraly drop uninitialized extent handling optimization, this will be reimplemented later. - Fix (3) by manually forcing page to uptodate state w/o dropping it's lock - Fix (4) by rearranging existing locking: from: journal_start(); ->write_begin to: write_begin(); journal_extend() - Fix (5) simply by checking retvalue - Fix (6) by locking both (original and donor one) pages during extent swap with help of mext_page_double_lock() Signed-off-by: Dmitry Monakhov <dmonakhov@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
