When ext4_rename() overwrites an already existing file, call
ext4_alloc_da_blocks() before starting the journal handle which
actually does the rename, instead of doing this afterwards. This
improves the likelihood that the contents will survive a crash if an
application replaces a file using the sequence:
1) write replacement contents to foo.new
2) <omit fsync of foo.new>
3) rename foo.new to foo
It is still not a guarantee, since ext4_alloc_da_blocks() is *not*
doing a file integrity sync; this means if foo.new is a very large
file, it may not be completely flushed out to disk.
However, for files smaller than a megabyte or so, any dirty pages
should be flushed out before we do the rename operation, and so at the
next journal commit, the CACHE FLUSH command will make sure al of
these pages are safely on the disk platter.

Zach reported a problem that if inline data is enabled, we don't
tell the difference between the offset of '.' and '..'. And a
getdents will fail if the user only want to get '.' and what's worse,
if there is a conversion happens when the user calls getdents
many times, he/she may get the same entry twice.
In theory, a dir block would also fail if it is converted to a
hashed-index based dir since f_pos will become a hash value, not the
real one, but it doesn't happen. And a deep investigation shows that
we uses a hash based solution even for a normal dir if the dir_index
feature is enabled.
So this patch just adds a new htree_inlinedir_to_tree for inline dir,
and if we find that the hash index is supported, we will do like what
we do for a dir block.

Inode allocation transaction is pretty heavy (246 credits with quotas
and extents before previous patch, still around 200 after it). This is
mostly due to credits required for allocation of quota structures
(credits there are heavily overestimated but it's difficult to make
better estimates if we don't want to wire non-trivial assumptions about
quota format into filesystem).
So move quota initialization out of allocation transaction. That way
transaction for quota structure allocation will be started only if we
need to look up quota structure on disk (rare) and furthermore it will
be started for each quota type separately, not for all of them at once.
This reduces maximum transaction size to 34 is most cases and to 73 in
the worst case.
[ Modified by tytso to clean up the cleanup paths for error handling.
Also use a separate call to ext4_std_error() for each failure so it
is easier for someone who is debugging a problem in this function to

The code to read in directory blocks and verify their metadata
checksums was replicated in ten different places across
fs/ext4/namei.c, and the code was buggy in subtle ways in a number of
those replicated sites. In some cases, ext4_error() was called with a
training newline. In others, in particularly in empty_dir(), it was
possible to call ext4_dirent_csum_verify() on an index block, which
would trigger false warnings requesting the system adminsitrator to
run e2fsck.
By refactoring the code, we make the code more readable, as well as
shrinking the compiled object file by over 700 bytes and 50 lines of

In ext4_{create,mknod,mkdir,symlink}(), don't start the journal handle

The ext4_unlink() and ext4_rmdir() don't actually release the blocks
associated with the file/directory. This gets done in a separate jbd2

So we can better understand what bits of ext4 are responsible for
long-running jbd2 handles, use jbd2__journal_start() so we can pass
context information for logging purposes.
The recommended way for finding the longer-running handles is:
T=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
EVENT=$T/events/jbd2/jbd2_handle_stats
echo "interval > 5" > $EVENT/filter
echo 1 > $EVENT/enable
./run-my-fs-benchmark
cat $T/trace > /tmp/problem-handles
This will list handles that were active for longer than 20ms. Having
longer-running handles is bad, because a commit started at the wrong
time could stall for those 20+ milliseconds, which could delay an
fsync() or an O_SYNC operation. Here is an example line from the
trace file describing a handle which lived on for 311 jiffies, or over

When trying to mount a file system which does not contain a journal,
but which does have a orphan list containing an inode which needs to
be truncated, the mount call with hang forever in
ext4_orphan_cleanup() because ext4_orphan_del() will return
immediately without removing the inode from the orphan list, leading
to an uninterruptible loop in kernel code which will busy out one of
the CPU's on the system.
This can be trivially reproduced by trying to mount the file system
found in tests/f_orphan_extents_inode/image.gz from the e2fsprogs
source tree. If a malicious user were to put this on a USB stick, and
mount it on a Linux desktop which has automatic mounts enabled, this

When ext4_bread() returns NULL and err is set to zero, this means
there is no phyical block mapped to the specified logical block
number. (Previous to commit 90b0a97323, err was uninitialized in this
case, which caused other problems.)
The directory handling routines use ext4_bread() in many places, the
fact that ext4_bread() now returns NULL with err set to zero could
cause problems since a number of these functions will simply return
the value of err if the result of ext4_bread() was the NULL pointer,
causing the caller of the function to think that the function was
successful.
Since directories should never contain holes, this case can only
happen if the file system is corrupted. This commit audits all of the
callers of ext4_bread(), and makes sure they do the right thing if a
hole in a directory is found by ext4_bread().
Some ext4_bread() callers did not need any changes either because they
already had its own hole detector paths.

htree_dirblock_to_tree() declares a non-initialized 'err' variable,
which is passed as a reference to another functions expecting them to
set this variable with their error codes.
It's passed to ext4_bread(), which then passes it to ext4_getblk(). If
ext4_map_blocks() returns 0 due to a lookup failure, leaving the
ext4_getblk() buffer_head uninitialized, it will make ext4_getblk()
return to ext4_bread() without initialize the 'err' variable, and
ext4_bread() will return to htree_dirblock_to_tree() with this variable
still uninitialized. htree_dirblock_to_tree() will pass this variable
with garbage back to ext4_htree_fill_tree(), which expects a number of
directory entries added to the rb-tree. which, in case, might return a
fake non-zero value due the garbage left in the 'err' variable, leading
the kernel to an Oops in ext4_dx_readdir(), once this is expecting a
filled rb-tree node, when in turn it will have a NULL-ed one, causing an
invalid page request when trying to get a fname struct from this NULL-ed
rb-tree node in this line:
fname = rb_entry(info->curr_node, struct fname, rb_hash);
The patch itself initializes the err variable in

Very large directories can cause significant performance problems, or

highly constrained memory environment (whether it is VM's with a small
amount of memory or in a small memory cgroup).
So it is useful, in cloud server/data center environments, to be able
to set a filesystem-wide cap on the maximum size of a directory, to
ensure that directories never get larger than a sane size. We do this
via a new mount option, max_dir_size_kb. If there is an attempt to
grow the directory larger than max_dir_size_kb, the system call will
return ENOSPC instead.

greatest note is a speed up for parallel, non-allocating DIO writes,
since we no longer take the i_mutex lock in that case. For bug fixes,
we fix an incorrect overhead calculation which caused slightly
incorrect results for df(1) and statfs(2). We also fixed bugs in the
metadata checksum feature.

"The usual collection of bug fixes and optimizations. Perhaps of
greatest note is a speed up for parallel, non-allocating DIO writes,
since we no longer take the i_mutex lock in that case.
For bug fixes, we fix an incorrect overhead calculation which caused
slightly incorrect results for df(1) and statfs(2). We also fixed
bugs in the metadata checksum feature."
