2013-03-03ext4: convert number of blocks to clusters properlyLukas Czerner1-1/+1
We're using macro EXT4_B2C() to convert number of blocks to number of clusters for bigalloc file systems. However, we should be using EXT4_NUM_B2C(). Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
2013-02-23ext4: fix free clusters calculation in bigalloc filesystemLukas Czerner1-2/+7
ext4_has_free_clusters() should tell us whether there is enough free clusters to allocate, however number of free clusters in the file system is converted to blocks using EXT4_C2B() which is not only wrong use of the macro (we should have used EXT4_NUM_B2C) but it's also completely wrong concept since everything else is in cluster units. Moreover when calculating number of root clusters we should be using macro EXT4_NUM_B2C() instead of EXT4_B2C() otherwise the result might be off by one. However r_blocks_count should always be a multiple of the cluster ratio so doing a plain bit shift should be enough here. We avoid using EXT4_B2C() because it's confusing. As a result of the first problem number of free clusters is much bigger than it should have been and ext4_has_free_clusters() would return 1 even if there is really not enough free clusters available. Fix this by removing the EXT4_C2B() conversion of free clusters and using bit shift when calculating number of root clusters. This bug affects number of xfstests tests covering file system ENOSPC situation handling. With this patch most of the ENOSPC problems with bigalloc file system disappear, especially the errors caused by delayed allocation not having enough space when the actual allocation is finally requested.

2012-10-22ext4: Checksum the block bitmap properly with bigalloc enabledTao Ma1-5/+3
In mke2fs, we only checksum the whole bitmap block and it is right. While in the kernel, we use EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP to indicate the size of the checksumed bitmap which is wrong when we enable bigalloc. The right size should be EXT4_CLUSTERS_PER_GROUP and this patch fixes it. Also as every caller of ext4_block_bitmap_csum_set and ext4_block_bitmap_csum_verify pass in EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb)/8, we'd better removes this parameter and sets it in the function itself.

2012-08-17ext4: don't call ext4_error while block group is lockedTheodore Ts'o1-25/+37
While in ext4_validate_block_bitmap(), if an block allocation bitmap is found to be invalid, we call ext4_error() while the block group is still locked. This causes ext4_commit_super() to call a function which might sleep while in an atomic context. There's no need to keep the block group locked at this point, so hoist the ext4_error() call up to ext4_validate_block_bitmap() and release the block group spinlock before calling ext4_error().

2012-06-08ext4: fix the free blocks calculation for ext3 file systems w/ uninit_bgTheodore Ts'o1-4/+4
Ext3 filesystems that are converted to use as many ext4 file system features as possible will enable uninit_bg to speed up e2fsck times. These file systems will have a native ext3 layout of inode tables and block allocation bitmaps (as opposed to ext4's flex_bg layout). Unfortunately, in these cases, when first allocating a block in an uninitialized block group, ext4 would incorrectly calculate the number of free blocks in that block group, and then errorneously report that the file system was corrupt: EXT4-fs error (device vdd): ext4_mb_generate_buddy:741: group 30, 32254 clusters in bitmap, 32258 in gd This problem can be reproduced via: mke2fs -q -t ext4 -O ^flex_bg /dev/vdd 5g mount -t ext4 /dev/vdd /mnt fallocate -l 4600m /mnt/test The problem was caused by a bone headed mistake in the check to see if a particular metadata block was part of the block group.

The is bad, since we check bitmap_uptodate() without locking the buffer, and so if another process is racing with us, it's possible that they will think the bitmap is uptodate even though the read has not completed yet, resulting in inodes and blocks potentially getting allocated more than once if we get really unlucky.

2010-06-12ext4: Clean up s_dirt handlingTheodore Ts'o1-5/+1
We don't need to set s_dirt in most of the ext4 code when journaling is enabled. In ext3/4 some of the summary statistics for # of free inodes, blocks, and directories are calculated from the per-block group statistics when the file system is mounted or unmounted. As a result the superblock doesn't have to be updated, either via the journal or by setting s_dirt. There are a few exceptions, most notably when resizing the file system, where the superblock needs to be modified --- and in that case it should be done as a journalled operation if possible, and s_dirt set only in no-journal mode. This patch will optimize out some unneeded disk writes when using ext4 with a journal. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2010-05-16ext4: don't use quota reservation for speculative metadataEric Sandeen1-2/+3
Because we can badly over-reserve metadata when we calculate worst-case, it complicates things for quota, since we must reserve and then claim later, retry on EDQUOT, etc. Quota is also a generally smaller pool than fs free blocks, so this over-reservation hurts more, and more often. I'm of the opinion that it's not the worst thing to allow metadata to push a user slightly over quota. This simplifies the code and avoids the false quota rejections that result from worst-case speculation. This patch stops the speculative quota-charging for worst-case metadata requirements, and just charges quota when the blocks are allocated at writeout. It also is able to remove the try-again loop on EDQUOT. This patch has been tested indirectly by running the xfstests suite with a hack to mount & enable quota prior to the test. I also did a more specific test of fragmenting freespace and then doing a large delalloc write under quota; quota stopped me at the right amount of file IO, and then the writeout generated enough metadata (due to the fragmentation) that it put me slightly over quota, as expected.

2009-05-01ext4: Avoid races caused by on-line resizing and SMP memory reorderingTheodore Ts'o1-8/+7
Ext4's on-line resizing adds a new block group and then, only at the last step adjusts s_groups_count. However, it's possible on SMP systems that another CPU could see the updated the s_group_count and not see the newly initialized data structures for the just-added block group. For this reason, it's important to insert a SMP read barrier after reading s_groups_count and before reading any (for example) the new block group descriptors allowed by the increased value of s_groups_count. Unfortunately, we rather blatently violate this locking protocol documented in fs/ext4/resize.c. Fortunately, (1) on-line resizes happen relatively rarely, and (2) it seems rare that the filesystem code will immediately try to use just-added block group before any memory ordering issues resolve themselves. So apparently problems here are relatively hard to hit, since ext3 has been vulnerable to the same issue for years with no one apparently complaining. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2009-03-05ext4: Use atomic_t's in struct flex_groupsTheodore Ts'o1-3/+2
Reduce pressure on the sb_bgl_lock family of locks by using atomic_t's to track the number of free blocks and inodes in each flex_group. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2009-02-07ext4: remove call to ext4_group_desc() in ext4_group_used_meta_blocks()Theodore Ts'o1-6/+3
The static function ext4_group_used_meta_blocks() only has one caller, who already has access to the block group's group descriptor. So it's better to have ext4_init_block_bitmap() pass the group descriptor to ext4_group_used_meta_blocks(), so it doesn't need to call ext4_group_desc(). Previously this function did not check if ext4_group_desc() returned NULL due to an error, potentially causing a kernel OOPS report. This avoids the issue entirely.

2009-02-26ext4: don't call jbd2_journal_force_commit_nested without journalEric Sandeen1-1/+3
Running without a journal, I oopsed when I ran out of space, because we called jbd2_journal_force_commit_nested() from ext4_should_retry_alloc() without a journal. This should take care of it, I think. Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
