4c0cfebdf3 ext4: clean up mballoc criteria comments
Line wrap and slightly clarify the comments describing mballoc's
cirtiera.

Define EXT4_MB_NUM_CRS as part of the enum, so that it will
automatically get updated when criteria is added or removed.

Also fix a potential unitialized use of 'cr' variable if
CONFIG_EXT4_DEBUG is enabled.

f52f3d2b9f ext4: Give symbolic names to mballoc criterias
mballoc criterias have historically been called by numbers
like CR0, CR1... however this makes it confusing to understand
what each criteria is about.

Change these criterias from numbers to symbolic names and add
relevant comments. While we are at it, also reformat and add some
comments to ext4_seq_mb_stats_show() for better readability.

Additionally, define CR_FAST which signifies the criteria
below which we can make quicker decisions like:
  * quitting early if (free block < requested len)
  * avoiding to scan free extents smaller than required len.
  * avoiding to initialize buddy cache and work with existing cache
  * limiting prefetches

7e170922f0 ext4: Add allocation criteria 1.5 (CR1_5)
CR1_5 aims to optimize allocations which can't be satisfied in CR1. The
fact that we couldn't find a group in CR1 suggests that it would be
difficult to find a continuous extent to compleltely satisfy our
allocations. So before falling to the slower CR2, in CR1.5 we
proactively trim the the preallocations so we can find a group with
(free / fragments) big enough.  This speeds up our allocation at the
cost of slightly reduced preallocation.

The patch also adds a new sysfs tunable:

* /sys/fs/ext4/<partition>/mb_cr1_5_max_trim_order

This controls how much CR1.5 can trim a request before falling to CR2.
For example, for a request of order 7 and max trim order 2, CR1.5 can
trim this upto order 5.

4f3d1e4533 ext4: Ensure ext4_mb_prefetch_fini() is called for all prefetched BGs
Before this patch, the call stack in ext4_run_li_request is as follows:

  /*
   * nr = no. of BGs we want to fetch (=s_mb_prefetch)
   * prefetch_ios = no. of BGs not uptodate after
   * 		    ext4_read_block_bitmap_nowait()
   */
  next_group = ext4_mb_prefetch(sb, group, nr, prefetch_ios);
  ext4_mb_prefetch_fini(sb, next_group prefetch_ios);

ext4_mb_prefetch_fini() will only try to initialize buddies for BGs in
range [next_group - prefetch_ios, next_group). This is incorrect since
sometimes (prefetch_ios < nr), which causes ext4_mb_prefetch_fini() to
incorrectly ignore some of the BGs that might need initialization. This
issue is more notable now with the previous patch enabling "fetching" of
BLOCK_UNINIT BGs which are marked buffer_uptodate by default.

Fix this by passing nr to ext4_mb_prefetch_fini() instead of
prefetch_ios so that it considers the right range of groups.

Similarly, make sure we don't pass nr=0 to ext4_mb_prefetch_fini() in
ext4_mb_regular_allocator() since we might have prefetched BLOCK_UNINIT
groups that would need buddy initialization.

3c6296046c ext4: Don't skip prefetching BLOCK_UNINIT groups
Currently, ext4_mb_prefetch() and ext4_mb_prefetch_fini() skip
BLOCK_UNINIT groups since fetching their bitmaps doesn't need disk IO.
As a consequence, we end not initializing the buddy structures and CR0/1
lists for these BGs, even though it can be done without any disk IO
overhead. Hence, don't skip such BGs during prefetch and prefetch_fini.

This improves the accuracy of CR0/1 allocation as earlier, we could have
essentially empty BLOCK_UNINIT groups being ignored by CR0/1 due to their buddy
not being initialized, leading to slower CR2 allocations. With this patch CR0/1
will be able to discover these groups as well, thus improving performance.

1b42001121 ext4: Avoid scanning smaller extents in BG during CR1
When we are inside ext4_mb_complex_scan_group() in CR1, we can be sure
that this group has atleast 1 big enough continuous free extent to satisfy
our request because (free / fragments) > goal length.

Hence, instead of wasting time looping over smaller free extents, only
try to consider the free extent if we are sure that it has enough
continuous free space to satisfy goal length. This is particularly
useful when scanning highly fragmented BGs in CR1 as, without this
patch, the allocator might stop scanning early before reaching the big
enough free extent (due to ac_found > mb_max_to_scan) which causes us to
uncessarily trim the request.

Track number of allocations where the length of blocks allocated is equal to the
length of goal blocks (post normalization). This metric could be useful if
making changes to the allocator logic in the future as it could give us
visibility into how often do we trim our requests.

PS: ac_b_ex.fe_len might get modified due to preallocation efforts and
hence we use ac_f_ex.fe_len instead since we want to compare how much the
allocator was able to actually find.

3582e74599 Revert "ext4: remove ac->ac_found > sbi->s_mb_min_to_scan dead check in ext4_mb_check_limits"
This reverts commit 32c0869370.

The reverted commit was intended to remove a dead check however it was observed
that this check was actually being used to exit early instead of looping
sbi->s_mb_max_to_scan times when we are able to find a free extent bigger than
the goal extent. Due to this, a my performance tests (fsmark, parallel file
writes in a highly fragmented FS) were seeing a 2x-3x regression.

Example, the default value of the following variables is:

sbi->s_mb_max_to_scan = 200
sbi->s_mb_min_to_scan = 10

In ext4_mb_check_limits() if we find an extent smaller than goal, then we return
early and try again. This loop will go on until we have processed
sbi->s_mb_max_to_scan(=200) number of free extents at which point we exit and
just use whatever we have even if it is smaller than goal extent.

Now, the regression comes when we find an extent bigger than goal. Earlier, in
this case we would loop only sbi->s_mb_min_to_scan(=10) times and then just use
the bigger extent. However with commit 32c08693 that check was removed and hence
we would loop sbi->s_mb_max_to_scan(=200) times even though we have a big enough
free extent to satisfy the request. The only time we would exit early would be
when the free extent is *exactly* the size of our goal, which is pretty uncommon
occurrence and so we would almost always end up looping 200 times.

Hence, revert the commit by adding the check back to fix the regression. Also
add a comment to outline this policy.

5354b2af34 ext4: allow ext4_get_group_info() to fail
Previously, ext4_get_group_info() would treat an invalid group number
as BUG(), since in theory it should never happen.  However, if a
malicious attaker (or fuzzer) modifies the superblock via the block
device while it is the file system is mounted, it is possible for
s_first_data_block to get set to a very large number.  In that case,
when calculating the block group of some block number (such as the
starting block of a preallocation region), could result in an
underflow and very large block group number.  Then the BUG_ON check in
ext4_get_group_info() would fire, resutling in a denial of service
attack that can be triggered by root or someone with write access to
the block device.

For a quality of implementation perspective, it's best that even if
the system administrator does something that they shouldn't, that it
will not trigger a BUG.  So instead of BUG'ing, ext4_get_group_info()
will call ext4_error and return NULL.  We also add fallback code in
all of the callers of ext4_get_group_info() that it might NULL.

Also, since ext4_get_group_info() was already borderline to be an
inline function, un-inline it.  The results in a next reduction of the
compiled text size of ext4 by roughly 2k.

preallocations. This is known to cause degradation in performance in
workloads which perform large number of sparse writes on a single file.
This is mainly because functions like ext4_mb_normalize_request() and
ext4_mb_use_preallocated() iterate over this complete list, resulting in
slowdowns when large number of PAs are present.

Patch 27bc446e2 partially fixed this by enforcing a limit of 512 for
the inode preallocation list and adding logic to continually trim the
list if it grows above the threshold, however our testing revealed that
a hardcoded value is not suitable for all kinds of workloads.

To optimize this, add an rbtree to the inode and hold the inode
preallocations in this rbtree. This will make iterating over inode PAs
faster and scale much better than a linked list. Additionally, we also
had to remove the LRU logic that was added during trimming of the list
(in ext4_mb_release_context()) as it will add extra overhead in rbtree.
The discards now happen in the lowest-logical-offset-first order.

** Locking notes **

With the introduction of rbtree to maintain inode PAs, we can't use RCU
to walk the tree for searching since it can result in partial traversals
which might miss some nodes(or entire subtrees) while discards happen
in parallel (which happens under a lock).  Hence this patch converts the
ei->i_prealloc_lock spin_lock to rw_lock.

Almost all the codepaths that read/modify the PA rbtrees are protected
by the higher level inode->i_data_sem (except
ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations() and ext4_clear_inode()) IIUC, the
only place we need lock protection is when one thread is reading
"searching" the PA rbtree (earlier protected under rcu_read_lock()) and
another is "deleting" the PAs in ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations()
function (which iterates all the PAs using the grp->bb_prealloc_list and
deletes PAs from the tree without taking any inode lock (i_data_sem)).

So, this patch converts all rcu_read_lock/unlock() paths for inode list
PA to use read_lock() and all places where we were using
ei->i_prealloc_lock spinlock will now be using write_lock().

Note that this makes the fast path (searching of the right PA e.g.
ext4_mb_use_preallocated() or ext4_mb_normalize_request()), now use
read_lock() instead of rcu_read_lock/unlock().  Ths also will now block
due to slow discard path (ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations()) which
uses write_lock().

But this is not as bad as it looks. This is because -

1. The slow path only occurs when the normal allocation failed and we
   can say that we are low on disk space.  One can argue this scenario
   won't be much frequent.

2. ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations(), locks and unlocks the rwlock
   for deleting every individual PA.  This gives enough opportunity for
   the fast path to acquire the read_lock for searching the PA inode
   list.

a8e38fd37c ext4: Convert pa->pa_inode_list and pa->pa_obj_lock into a union
** Splitting pa->pa_inode_list **

Currently, we use the same pa->pa_inode_list to add a pa to either
the inode preallocation list or the locality group preallocation list.
For better clarity, split this list into a union of 2 list_heads and use
either of the them based on the type of pa.

** Splitting pa->pa_obj_lock **

Currently, pa->pa_obj_lock is either assigned &ei->i_prealloc_lock for
inode PAs or lg_prealloc_lock for lg PAs, and is then used to lock the
lists containing these PAs. Make the distinction between the 2 PA types
clear by changing this lock to a union of 2 locks. Explicitly use the
pa_lock_node.inode_lock for inode PAs and pa_lock_node.lg_lock for lg
PAs.

This patch is required so that the locality group preallocation code
remains the same as in upcoming patches we are going to make changes to
inode preallocation code to move from list to rbtree based
implementation. This patch also makes it easier to review the upcoming
patches.

There are no functional changes in this patch.

93cdf49f6e ext4: Fix best extent lstart adjustment logic in ext4_mb_new_inode_pa()
When the length of best extent found is less than the length of goal extent
we need to make sure that the best extent atleast covers the start of the
original request. This is done by adjusting the ac_b_ex.fe_logical (logical
start) of the extent.

While doing so, the current logic sometimes results in the best extent's
logical range overflowing the goal extent. Since this best extent is later
added to the inode preallocation list, we have a possibility of introducing
overlapping preallocations. This is discussed in detail here [1].

As per Jan's suggestion, to fix this, replace the existing logic with the
below logic for adjusting best extent as it keeps fragmentation in check
while ensuring logical range of best extent doesn't overflow out of goal
extent:

1. Check if best extent can be kept at end of goal range and still cover
   original start.
2. Else, check if best extent can be kept at start of goal range and still
   cover original start.
3. Else, keep the best extent at start of original request.

Also, add a few extra BUG_ONs that might help catch errors faster.
