* ext4: don't use MAXQUOTAS valueJan Kara2014-09-111-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | MAXQUOTAS value defines maximum number of quota types VFS supports. This isn't necessarily the number of types ext4 supports. Although ext4 will support project quotas, use ext4 private definition for consistency with other filesystems. Signed-off-by: Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@mit.edu>

* ext4: use transaction reservation for extent conversion in ext4_end_ioJan Kara2013-06-041-2/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Later we would like to clear PageWriteback bit only after extent conversion from unwritten to written extents is performed. However it is not possible to start a transaction after PageWriteback is set because that violates lock ordering (and is easy to deadlock). So we have to reserve a transaction before locking pages and sending them for IO and later we use the transaction for extent conversion from ext4_end_io().

* ext4: fix the number of credits needed for acl ops with inline dataTheodore Ts'o2013-02-091-0/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Operations which modify extended attributes may need extra journal credits if inline data is used, since there is a chance that some extended attributes may need to get pushed to an external attribute block. Changes to reflect this was made in xattr.c, but they were missed in fs/ext4/acl.c. To fix this, abstract the calculation of the number of credits needed for xattr operations to an inline function defined in ext4_jbd2.h, and use it in acl.c and xattr.c. Also move the function declarations used in inline.c from xattr.h (where they are non-obviously hidden, and caused problems since ext4_jbd2.h needs to use the function ext4_has_inline_data), and move them to ext4.h.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* ext4: make quota as first class supported featureAditya Kali2012-07-221-6/+12
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for quotas as a first class feature in ext4; which is to say, the quota files are stored in hidden inodes as file system metadata, instead of as separate files visible in the file system directory hierarchy. It is based on the proposal at: https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Design_For_1st_Class_Quota_in_Ext4 This patch introduces a new feature - EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_QUOTA which, when turned on, enables quota accounting at mount time iteself. Also, the quota inodes are stored in two additional superblock fields. Some changes introduced by this patch that should be pointed out are: 1) Two new ext4-superblock fields - s_usr_quota_inum and s_grp_quota_inum for storing the quota inodes in use. 2) Default quota inodes are: inode#3 for tracking userquota and inode#4 for tracking group quota. The superblock fields can be set to use other inodes as well. 3) If the QUOTA feature and corresponding quota inodes are set in superblock, the quota usage tracking is turned on at mount time. On 'quotaon' ioctl, the quota limits enforcement is turned on. 'quotaoff' ioctl turns off only the limits enforcement in this case. 4) When QUOTA feature is in use, the quota mount options 'quota', 'usrquota', 'grpquota' are ignored by the kernel. 5) mke2fs or tune2fs can be used to set the QUOTA feature and initialize quota inodes. The default reserved inodes will not be visible to user as regular files. 6) The quota-tools will need to be modified to support hidden quota files on ext4. E2fsprogs will also include support for creating and fixing quota files. 7) Support is only for the new V2 quota file format.

* ext4: ignore EXT4_INODE_JOURNAL_DATA flag with delallocLukas Czerner2012-02-201-27/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Ext4 does not support data journalling with delayed allocation enabled. We even do not allow to mount the file system with delayed allocation and data journalling enabled, however it can be set via FS_IOC_SETFLAGS so we can hit the inode with EXT4_INODE_JOURNAL_DATA set even on file system mounted with delayed allocation (default) and that's where problem arises. The easies way to reproduce this problem is with the following set of commands: mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdd mount /dev/sdd /mnt/test1 dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test1/file bs=1M count=4 chattr +j /mnt/test1/file dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test1/file bs=1M count=4 conv=notrunc chattr -j /mnt/test1/file Additionally it can be reproduced quite reliably with xfstests 272 and 269. In fact the above reproducer is a part of test 272. To fix this we should ignore the EXT4_INODE_JOURNAL_DATA inode flag if the file system is mounted with delayed allocation. This can be easily done by fixing ext4_should_*_data() functions do ignore data journal flag when delalloc is set (suggested by Ted). We also have to set the appropriate address space operations for the inode (again, ignoring data journal flag if delalloc enabled). Additionally this commit introduces ext4_inode_journal_mode() function because ext4_should_*_data() has already had a lot of common code and this change is putting it all into one function so it is easier to read.

* ext4: Fix ext4_should_writeback_data() for no-journal modeCurt Wohlgemuth2011-08-131-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | ext4_should_writeback_data() had an incorrect sequence of tests to determine if it should return 0 or 1: in particular, even in no-journal mode, 0 was being returned for a non-regular-file inode. This meant that, in non-journal mode, we would use ext4_journalled_aops for directories, symlinks, and other non-regular files. However, calling journalled aop callbacks when there is no valid handle, can cause problems. This would cause a kernel crash with Jan Kara's commit 2d859db3e4 ("ext4: fix data corruption in inodes with journalled data"), because we now dereference 'handle' in ext4_journalled_write_end(). I also added BUG_ONs to check for a valid handle in the obviously journal-only aops callbacks. I tested this running xfstests with a scratch device in these modes: - no-journal - data=ordered - data=writeback - data=journal All work fine; the data=journal run has many failures and a crash in xfstests 074, but this is no different from a vanilla kernel.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

Since that time I've integrated the excellent comments from Andreas and fixed several serious bugs. We're currently running with this patch and generating some performance numbers against both ext2 (with backported reservations code) and ext4 with and without a journal. It just so happens that running without a journal is slightly faster for most everything. We did iozone -T -t 4 s 2g -r 256k -T -I -i0 -i1 -i2 which creates 4 threads, each of which create and do reads and writes on a 2G file, with a buffer size of 256K, using O_DIRECT for all file opens to bypass the page cache. Results: ext2 ext4, default ext4, no journal initial writes 13.0 MB/s 15.4 MB/s 15.7 MB/s rewrites 13.1 MB/s 15.6 MB/s 15.9 MB/s reads 15.2 MB/s 16.9 MB/s 17.2 MB/s re-reads 15.3 MB/s 16.9 MB/s 17.2 MB/s random readers 5.6 MB/s 5.6 MB/s 5.7 MB/s random writers 5.1 MB/s 5.3 MB/s 5.4 MB/s So it seems that, so far, this was a useful exercise.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When considering how many journal credits are needed for modifying a chunk of data, we need to account for the super block, inode block, quota blocks and xattr block, indirect/index blocks, also, group bitmap and group descriptor blocks for new allocation (including data and indirect/index blocks). There are many places in ext4 do the calculation on their own and often missed one or two meta blocks, and often they assume single block allocation, and did not considering the multile chunk of allocation case. This patch is trying to cleanup current journal credit code, provides some common helper funtion to calculate the journal credits, to be used for writepage, writepages, DIO, fallocate, migration, defrag, and for both nonextent and extent files. This patch modified the writepage/write_begin credit caculation for nonextent files, to use the new helper function. It also fixed the problem that writepage on nonextent files did not consider the case blocksize <pagesize, thus could possibelly need multiple block allocation in a single transaction.

* ext4: Use new framework for data=ordered mode in JBD2Jan Kara2008-07-111-2/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch makes ext4 use inode-based implementation of data=ordered mode in JBD2. It allows us to unify some data=ordered and data=writeback paths (especially writepage since we don't have to start a transaction anymore) and remove some buffer walking. Updated fix from Aneesh Kumar K.V <aneesh.kumar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> to fix file system hang due to corrupt jinode values.

* ext4: move headers out of include/linuxChristoph Hellwig2008-04-291-0/+231
Move ext4 headers out of include/linux. This is just the trivial move, there's some more thing that could be done later. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Mingming Cao <cmm@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
