9ac0367501 These are regression and bug fixes for ext4.
We had a number of new features in ext4 during this merge window
 (ZERO_RANGE and COLLAPSE_RANGE fallocate modes, renameat, etc.) so
 there were many more regression and bug fixes this time around.  It
 didn't help that xfstests hadn't been fully updated to fully stress
 test COLLAPSE_RANGE until after -rc1.

a8680e0d5e ext4: fix COLLAPSE_RANGE failure with 1KB block size
When formatting with 1KB or 2KB(not aligned with PAGE SIZE) block
size, xfstests generic/075 and 091 are failing. The offset supplied to
function truncate_pagecache_range is block size aligned. In this
function start offset is re-aligned to PAGE_SIZE by rounding_up to the
next page boundary.  Due to this rounding up, old data remains in the
page cache when blocksize is less than page size and start offset is
not aligned with page size.  In case of collapse range, we need to
align start offset to page size boundary by doing a round down
operation instead of round up.

6dd834effc ext4: fix extent merging in ext4_ext_shift_path_extents()
There is a bug in ext4_ext_shift_path_extents() where if we actually
manage to merge a extent we would skip shifting the next extent. This
will result in in one extent in the extent tree not being properly
shifted.

This is causing failure in various xfstests tests using fsx or fsstress
with collapse range support. It will also cause file system corruption
which looks something like:

 e2fsck 1.42.9 (4-Feb-2014)
 Pass 1: Checking inodes, blocks, and sizes
 Inode 20 has out of order extents
        (invalid logical block 3, physical block 492938, len 2)
 Clear? yes
 ...

when running e2fsck.

It's also very easily reproducible just by running fsx without any
parameters. I can usually hit the problem within a minute.

Fix it by increasing ex_start only if we're not merging the extent.

ef24f6c234 ext4: discard preallocations after removing space
Currently in ext4_collapse_range() and ext4_punch_hole() we're
discarding preallocation twice. Once before we attempt to do any changes
and second time after we're done with the changes.

While the second call to ext4_discard_preallocations() in
ext4_punch_hole() case is not needed, we need to discard preallocation
right after ext4_ext_remove_space() in collapse range case because in
the case we had to restart a transaction in the middle of removing space
we might have new preallocations created.

Remove unneeded ext4_discard_preallocations() ext4_punch_hole() and move
it to the better place in ext4_collapse_range()

We're already calling truncate_pagecache() before we attempt to do any
actual job so there is not need to truncate pagecache once more using

that we're holding appropriate locks.

2c1d23289b ext4: fix removing status extents in ext4_collapse_range()
Currently in ext4_collapse_range() when calling ext4_es_remove_extent() to
remove status extents we're passing (EXT_MAX_BLOCKS - punch_start - 1)
in order to remove all extents from start of the collapse range to the
end of the file. However this is wrong because we might miss the
possible extent covering the last block of the file.

Fix it by removing the -1.

Currently we're passing -1 as lend argumnet for
filemap_write_and_wait_range() which is wrong since lend is signed type
so it would cause some confusion and we might not write_and_wait for the

We should be using truncate_pagecache() instead of
truncate_pagecache_range() in the collapse range because we're
truncating page cache from offset to the end of file.
truncate_pagecache() also get rid of the private COWed pages from the

0790b31b69 fs: disallow all fallocate operation on active swapfile
Currently some file system have IS_SWAPFILE check in their fallocate
implementations and some do not. However we should really prevent any
fallocate operation on swapfile so move the check to vfs and remove the
redundant checks from the file systems fallocate implementations.

23fffa925e fs: move falloc collapse range check into the filesystem methods
Currently in do_fallocate in collapse range case we're checking
whether offset + len is not bigger than i_size.  However there is
nothing which would prevent i_size from changing so the check is
pointless.  It should be done in the file system itself and the file
system needs to make sure that i_size is not going to change.  The
i_size check for the other fallocate modes are also done in the
filesystems.

As it is now we can easily crash the kernel by having two processes
doing truncate and fallocate collapse range at the same time.  This
can be reproduced on ext4 and it is theoretically possible on xfs even
though I was not able to trigger it with this simple test.

This commit removes the check from do_fallocate and adds it to the
file system.

622cad1325 ext4: move ext4_update_i_disksize() into mpage_map_and_submit_extent()
The function ext4_update_i_disksize() is used in only one place, in
the function mpage_map_and_submit_extent().  Move its code to simplify
the code paths, and also move the call to ext4_mark_inode_dirty() into
the i_data_sem's critical region, to be consistent with all of the
other places where we update i_disksize.  That way, we also keep the
raw_inode's i_disksize protected, to avoid the following race:

      CPU #1                                 CPU #2

1ce01c4a19 ext4: fix COLLAPSE_RANGE test failure in data journalling mode
When mounting ext4 with data=journal option, xfstest shared/002 and
shared/004 are currently failing as checksum computed for testfile
does not match with the checksum computed in other journal modes.
In case of data=journal mode, a call to filemap_write_and_wait_range
will not flush anything to disk as buffers are not marked dirty in
write_end. In collapse range this call is followed by a call to
truncate_pagecache_range. Due to this, when checksum is computed,
a portion of file is re-read from disk which replace valid data with
NULL bytes and hence the reason for the difference in checksum.

Calling ext4_force_commit before filemap_write_and_wait_range solves
the issue as it will mark the buffers dirty during commit transaction
which can be later synced by a call to filemap_write_and_wait_range.

The reason for the warning is that buffer_head passed into
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() didn't have journal_head attached. This is
caused by the following race of two ext4_xattr_release_block() calls:

CPU1                                CPU2
ext4_xattr_release_block()          ext4_xattr_release_block()
lock_buffer(bh);
/* False */
if (BHDR(bh)->h_refcount == cpu_to_le32(1))
} else {
  le32_add_cpu(&BHDR(bh)->h_refcount, -1);
  unlock_buffer(bh);
                                    lock_buffer(bh);
                                    /* True */
                                    if (BHDR(bh)->h_refcount == cpu_to_le32(1))
                                      get_bh(bh);
                                      ext4_free_blocks()
                                        ...
                                        jbd2_journal_forget()
                                          jbd2_journal_unfile_buffer()
                                          -> JH is gone
  error = ext4_handle_dirty_xattr_block(handle, inode, bh);
  -> triggers the warning

We fix the problem by moving ext4_handle_dirty_xattr_block() under the
buffer lock. Sadly this cannot be done in nojournal mode as that
function can call sync_dirty_buffer() which would deadlock. Luckily in
nojournal mode the race is harmless (we only dirty already freed buffer)
and thus for nojournal mode we leave the dirtying outside of the buffer
lock.

007649375f ext4: initialize multi-block allocator before checking block descriptors
With EXT4FS_DEBUG ext4_count_free_clusters() will call
ext4_read_block_bitmap() without s_group_info initialized, so we need to
initialize multi-block allocator before.

And dependencies that must be solved, to allow this:
- multi-block allocator needs in group descriptors
- need to install s_op before initializing multi-block allocator,
  because in ext4_mb_init_backend() new inode is created.
- initialize number of group desc blocks (s_gdb_count) otherwise
  number of clusters returned by ext4_free_clusters_after_init() is not correct.
  (see ext4_bg_num_gdb_nometa())

Here is the stack backtrace:

4adb6ab3e0 ext4: FIBMAP ioctl causes BUG_ON due to handle EXT_MAX_BLOCKS
When we try to get 2^32-1 block of the file which has the extent
(ee_block=2^32-2, ee_len=1) with FIBMAP ioctl, it causes BUG_ON
in ext4_ext_put_gap_in_cache().

To avoid the problem, ext4_map_blocks() needs to check the file logical block
number. ext4_ext_put_gap_in_cache() called via ext4_map_blocks() cannot
handle 2^32-1 because the maximum file logical block number is 2^32-2.

Note that ext4_ind_map_blocks() returns -EIO when the block number is invalid.
So ext4_map_blocks() should also return the same errno.

91b0abe36a mm + fs: store shadow entries in page cache
Reclaim will be leaving shadow entries in the page cache radix tree upon
evicting the real page.  As those pages are found from the LRU, an
iput() can lead to the inode being freed concurrently.  At this point,
reclaim must no longer install shadow pages because the inode freeing
code needs to ensure the page tree is really empty.

Add an address_space flag, AS_EXITING, that the inode freeing code sets
under the tree lock before doing the final truncate.  Reclaim will check
for this flag before installing shadow pages.

ad6599ab3a ext4: fix premature freeing of partial clusters split across leaf blocks
Xfstests generic/311 and shared/298 fail when run on a bigalloc file
system.  Kernel error messages produced during the tests report that
blocks to be freed are already on the to-be-freed list.  When e2fsck
is run at the end of the tests, it typically reports bad i_blocks and
bad free blocks counts.

The bug that causes these failures is located in ext4_ext_rm_leaf().
Code at the end of the function frees a partial cluster if it's not
shared with an extent remaining in the leaf.  However, if all the
extents in the leaf have been removed, the code dereferences an
invalid extent pointer (off the front of the leaf) when the check for
sharing is made.  This generally has the effect of unconditionally
freeing the partial cluster, which leads to the observed failures
when the partial cluster is shared with the last extent in the next
leaf.

Fix this by attempting to free the cluster only if extents remain in
the leaf.  Any remaining partial cluster will be freed if possible
when the next leaf is processed or when leaf removal is complete.

bd1af145b9 ext4: rename: split out helper functions
Cross rename (exchange source and dest) will need to call some of these
helpers for both source and dest, while overwriting rename currently only
calls them for one or the other.  This also makes the code easier to
follow.

Move checking i_nlink from after ext4_get_first_dir_block() to before.  The
check doesn't rely on the result of that function and the function only
fails on fs corruption, so the order shouldn't matter.

0a7c3937a1 vfs: add RENAME_NOREPLACE flag
If this flag is specified and the target of the rename exists then the
rename syscall fails with EEXIST.

The VFS does the existence checking, so it is trivial to enable for most
local filesystems.  This patch only enables it in ext4.

For network filesystems the VFS check is not enough as there may be a race
between a remote create and the rename, so these filesystems need to handle
this flag in their ->rename() implementations to ensure atomicity.

Andy writes about why this is useful:

"The trivial answer: to eliminate the race condition from 'mv -i'.

Another answer: there's a common pattern to atomically create a file
with contents: open a temporary file, write to it, optionally fsync
it, close it, then link(2) it to the final name, then unlink the
temporary file.

The reason to use link(2) is because it won't silently clobber the destination.

This is annoying:
 - It requires an extra system call that shouldn't be necessary.
 - It doesn't work on (IMO sensible) filesystems that don't support
hard links (e.g. vfat).
 - It's not atomic -- there's an intermediate state where both files exist.
 - It's ugly.

The new rename flag will make this totally sensible.

To be fair, on new enough kernels, you can also use O_TMPFILE and
linkat to achieve the same thing even more cleanly."

ret before and in ext4_zero_range() if will always be zero when we get

Use cmpxchg() to atomically set i_flags instead of clearing out the
S_IMMUTABLE, S_APPEND, etc. flags and then setting them from the
EXT4_IMMUTABLE_FL, EXT4_APPEND_FL flags, since this opens up a race
where an immutable file has the immutable flag cleared for a brief
