23e2af3518 jbd2: clean up an assertion in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction()
commit_transaction has the same value as journal->j_running_transaction,
so we can simplify the assert statement.

ba869023ea jbd2: delay discarding buffers in journal_unmap_buffer
Delay discarding buffers in journal_unmap_buffer until
we know that "add to orphan" operation has definitely been
committed, otherwise the log space of committing transation
may be freed and reused before truncate get committed, updates
may get lost if crash happens.

d2eecb0393 ext4: Use slab allocator for sub-page sized allocations
Now that the SLUB seems to be fixed so that it respects the requested
alignment, use kmem_cache_alloc() to allocator if the block size of
the buffer heads to be allocated is less than the page size.
Previously, we were using 16k page on a Power system for each buffer,
even when the file system was using 1k or 4k block size.

cc3e1bea5d ext4, jbd2: Add barriers for file systems with exernal journals
This is a bit complicated because we are trying to optimize when we
send barriers to the fs data disk.  We could just throw in an extra
barrier to the data disk whenever we send a barrier to the journal
disk, but that's not always strictly necessary.

We only need to send a barrier during a commit when there are data
blocks which are must be written out due to an inode written in
ordered mode, or if fsync() depends on the commit to force data blocks
to disk.  Finally, before we drop transactions from the beginning of
the journal during a checkpoint operation, we need to guarantee that
any blocks that were flushed out to the data disk are firmly on the
rust platter before we drop the transaction from the journal.

Thanks to Oleg Drokin for pointing out this flaw in ext3/ext4.

e6a47428de jbd2: don't wipe the journal on a failed journal checksum
If there is a failed journal checksum, don't reset the journal.  This
allows for userspace programs to decide how to recover from this
situation.  It may be that ignoring the journal checksum failure might
be a better way of recovering the file system.  Once we add per-block
checksums, we can definitely do better.  Until then, a system
administrator can try backing up the file system image (or taking a
snapshot) and and trying to determine experimentally whether ignoring
the checksum failure or aborting the journal replay results in less
data loss.

0e3d2a6313 ext4: Fix async commit mode to be safe by using a barrier
Previously the journal_async_commit mount option was equivalent to
using barrier=0 (and just as unsafe).  This patch fixes it so that we
eliminate the barrier before the commit block (by not using ordered
mode), and explicitly issuing an empty barrier bio after writing the
commit block.  Because of the journal checksum, it is safe to do this;
if the journal blocks are not all written before a power failure, the
checksum in the commit block will prevent the last transaction from
being replayed.

Using the fs_mark benchmark, using journal_async_commit shows a 50%
improvement:

FSUse%        Count         Size    Files/sec     App Overhead
     8         1000        10240         30.5            28242

96577c4382 jbd2: fix race between write_metadata_buffer and get_write_access
The function jbd2_journal_write_metadata_buffer() calls
jbd_unlock_bh_state(bh_in) too early; this could potentially allow
another thread to call get_write_access on the buffer head, modify the
data, and dirty it, and allowing the wrong data to be written into the
journal.  Fortunately, if we lose this race, the only time this will
actually cause filesystem corruption is if there is a system crash or
other unclean shutdown of the system before the next commit can take
place.

f91d1d0417 jbd2: Fix a race between checkpointing code and journal_get_write_access()
The following race can happen:

 CPU1                          CPU2
                               checkpointing code checks the buffer, adds
                                 it to an array for writeback
 do_get_write_access()
 ...
 lock_buffer()
 unlock_buffer()
                               flush_batch() submits the buffer for IO
 __jbd2_journal_file_buffer()

So a buffer under writeout is returned from
do_get_write_access(). Since the filesystem code relies on the fact
that journaled buffers cannot be written out, it does not take the
buffer lock and so it can modify buffer while it is under
writeout. That can lead to a filesystem corruption if we crash at the
right moment.

We fix the problem by clearing the buffer dirty bit under buffer_lock
even if the buffer is on BJ_None list. Actually, we clear the dirty
bit regardless the list the buffer is in and warn about the fact if
the buffer is already journalled.

Thanks for spotting the problem goes to dingdinghua <dingdinghua85@gmail.com>.

c88ccea314 jbd2: Fix return value of jbd2_journal_start_commit()
The function jbd2_journal_start_commit() returns 1 if either a
transaction is committing or the function has queued a transaction
commit. But it returns 0 if we raced with somebody queueing the
transaction commit as well. This resulted in ext4_sync_fs() not
functioning correctly (description from Arthur Jones): 

   In the case of a data=ordered umount with pending long symlinks
   which are delayed due to a long list of other I/O on the backing
   block device, this causes the buffer associated with the long
   symlinks to not be moved to the inode dirty list in the second
   phase of fsync_super.  Then, before they can be dirtied again,
   kjournald exits, seeing the UMOUNT flag and the dirty pages are
   never written to the backing block device, causing long symlink
   corruption and exposing new or previously freed block data to
   userspace.

This can be reproduced with a script created by Eric Sandeen
<sandeen@redhat.com>:

        #!/bin/bash

        umount /mnt/test2
        mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2
        rm -f /mnt/test2/*
        dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test2/bigfile bs=1M count=512
        touch /mnt/test2/thisisveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongfilename
        ln -s /mnt/test2/thisisveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryveryverylongfilename
        /mnt/test2/link
        umount /mnt/test2
        mount /dev/sdb4 /mnt/test2
        ls /mnt/test2/

This patch fixes jbd2_journal_start_commit() to always return 1 when
there's a transaction committing or queued for commit.

e06c8227fd jbd2: Add buffer triggers
Filesystems often to do compute intensive operation on some
metadata.  If this operation is repeated many times, it can be very
expensive.  It would be much nicer if the operation could be performed
once before a buffer goes to disk.

This adds triggers to jbd2 buffer heads.  Just before writing a metadata
buffer to the journal, jbd2 will optionally call a commit trigger associated
with the buffer.  If the journal is aborted, an abort trigger will be
called on any dirty buffers as they are dropped from pending
transactions.

ocfs2 will use this feature.

Initially I tried to come up with a more generic trigger that could be
used for non-buffer-related events like transaction completion.  It
doesn't tie nicely, because the information a buffer trigger needs
(specific to a journal_head) isn't the same as what a transaction
trigger needs (specific to a tranaction_t or perhaps journal_t).  So I
implemented a buffer set, with the understanding that
journal/transaction wide triggers should be implemented separately.

There is only one trigger set allowed per buffer.  I can't think of any
reason to attach more than one set.  Contrast this with a journal or
transaction in which multiple places may want to watch the entire
transaction separately.

The trigger sets are considered static allocation from the jbd2
perspective.  ocfs2 will just have one trigger set per block type,
setting the same set on every bh of the same type.

c319106723 ext4: Remove code to create the journal inode
This code has been obsolete in quite some time, since the supported
method for adding a journal inode is to use tune2fs (or to creating
new filesystem with a journal via mke2fs or mkfs.ext4).

fb68407b0d jbd2: Call journal commit callback without holding j_list_lock
Avoid freeing the transaction in __jbd2_journal_drop_transaction() so
the journal commit callback can run without holding j_list_lock, to
avoid lock contention on this spinlock.

e07f7183a4 jbd2: improve jbd2 fsync batching
This patch removes the static sleep time in favor of a more self
optimizing approach where we measure the average amount of time it
takes to commit a transaction to disk and the ammount of time a
transaction has been running.  If somebody does a sync write or an
fsync() traditionally we would sleep for 1 jiffies, which depending on
the value of HZ could be a significant amount of time compared to how
long it takes to commit a transaction to the underlying storage.  With
this patch instead of sleeping for a jiffie, we check to see if the
amount of time this transaction has been running is less than the
average commit time, and if it is we sleep for the delta using
schedule_hrtimeout to give us a higher precision sleep time.  This
greatly benefits high end storage where you could end up sleeping for
longer than it takes to commit the transaction and therefore sitting
idle instead of allowing the transaction to be committed by keeping
the sleep time to a minimum so you are sure to always be doing
something.

fd98496f46 jbd2: Add barrier not supported test to journal_wait_on_commit_record
Xen doesn't report that barriers are not supported until buffer I/O is
reported as completed, instead of when the buffer I/O is submitted.
Add a check and a fallback codepath to journal_wait_on_commit_record()
to detect this case, so that attempts to mount ext4 filesystems on
LVM/devicemapper devices on Xen guests don't blow up with an "Aborting
journal on device XXX"; "Remounting filesystem read-only" error.
