8f82f840ec ext4: prevent parallel resizers by atomic bit ops
Before this patch, parallel resizers are allowed and protected by a
mutex lock, actually, there is no need to support parallel resizer, so
this patch prevents parallel resizers by atmoic bit ops, like
lock_page() and unlock_page() do.

To do this, the patch removed the mutex lock s_resize_lock from struct
ext4_sb_info and added a unsigned long field named s_resize_flags
which inidicates if there is a resizer.

2d859db3e4 ext4: fix data corruption in inodes with journalled data
When journalling data for an inode (either because it is a symlink or
because the filesystem is mounted in data=journal mode), ext4_evict_inode()
can discard unwritten data by calling truncate_inode_pages(). This is
because we don't mark the buffer / page dirty when journalling data but only
add the buffer to the running transaction and thus mm does not know there
are still unwritten data.

Fix the problem by carefully tracking transaction containing inode's data,
committing this transaction, and writing uncheckpointed buffers when inode
should be reaped.

This moves logic for checking the cached ACL values from low-level
filesystems into generic code.  The end result is a streamlined ACL
check that doesn't need to load the inode->i_op->check_acl pointer at
all for the common cached case.

The filesystems also don't need to check for a non-blocking RCU walk
case in their acl_check() functions, because that is all handled at a
VFS layer.

02c24a8218 fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers
Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called
in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and
the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers.  Some
file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and
ocfs2.  For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make
sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each
individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

For filesystems that delay their end_io processing we should keep our

the actual move to the workqueue for ext4 and XFS is not done in

for XFS it's not needed yet either as XFS has an internal equivalent

aacfc19c62 fs: simplify the blockdev_direct_IO prototype
Simple filesystems always pass inode->i_sb_bdev as the block device
argument, and never need a end_io handler.  Let's simply things for
them and for my grepping activity by dropping these arguments.  The
only thing not falling into that scheme is ext4, which passes and
end_io handler without needing special flags (yet), but given how
messy the direct I/O code there is use of __blockdev_direct_IO
in one instead of two out of three cases isn't going to make a large
difference anyway.

9ea7df534e ext4: Rewrite ext4_page_mkwrite() to use generic helpers
Rewrite ext4_page_mkwrite() to use __block_page_mkwrite() helper. This
removes the need of using i_alloc_sem to avoid races with truncate which
seems to be the wrong locking order according to lock ordering documented in
mm/rmap.c. Also calling ext4_da_write_begin() as used by the old code seems to
be problematic because we can decide to flush delay-allocated blocks which
will acquire s_umount semaphore - again creating unpleasant lock dependency
if not directly a deadlock.

Also add a check for frozen filesystem so that we don't busyloop in page fault
when the filesystem is frozen.

9d8f13ba3f security: new security_inode_init_security API adds function callback
This patch changes the security_inode_init_security API by adding a
filesystem specific callback to write security extended attributes.
This change is in preparation for supporting the initialization of
multiple LSM xattrs and the EVM xattr.  Initially the callback function
walks an array of xattrs, writing each xattr separately, but could be
optimized to write multiple xattrs at once.

For existing security_inode_init_security() calls, which have not yet
been converted to use the new callback function, such as those in
reiserfs and ocfs2, this patch defines security_old_inode_init_security().

d46203159e ext4: avoid eh_entries overflow before insert extent_idx
If eh_entries is equal to (or greater than) eh_max, the operation of
inserting new extent_idx will make number of entries overflow.
So check eh_entries before inserting the new extent_idx.

Although there is no bug case according the code (function
ext4_ext_insert_index is called by ext4_ext_split and ext4_ext_split
is called only if the index block has free space), the right logic
should be "lookup the capacity before insertion".

This patch avoids an extraneous lookup of the extent cache
in ext4_ext_map_blocks() when the flag
EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_PUNCH_OUT_EXT is absent.

The existing logic was performing the lookup but not making

in the condition.

Since ext4_ext_in_cache() does not initialize newex on misses, bypassing
its invocation does not introduce any new issue in this regard.

3d56b8d2c7 ext4: Speed up FITRIM by recording flags in ext4_group_info
In ext4, when FITRIM is called every time, we iterate all the
groups and do trim one by one. It is a bit time wasting if the
group has been trimmed and there is no change since the last
trim.

So this patch adds a new flag in ext4_group_info->bb_state to
indicate that the group has been trimmed, and it will be cleared
if some blocks is freed(in release_blocks_on_commit). Another
trim_minlen is added in ext4_sb_info to record the last minlen
we use to trim the volume, so that if the caller provide a small
one, we will go on the trim regardless of the bb_state.

A simple test with my intel x25m ssd:
df -h shows:
/dev/sdb1              40G   21G   17G  56% /mnt/ext4
Block size:               4096

run the FITRIM with the following parameter:
range.start = 0;
range.len = UINT64_MAX;
range.minlen = 1048576;

without the patch:
[root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a
real	0m5.505s

with the patch:

A big improvement for the 2nd and 3rd run.

Even after I delete some big image files, it is still much
faster than iterating the whole disk.

169ddc3ec8 ext4: speed up group trim with the right free block count
When we trim some free blocks in a group of ext4, we need to 
calculate the free blocks properly and check whether there are
enough freed blocks left for us to trim. Current solution will
only calculate free spaces if they are large for a trim which
isn't appropriate.

Let us see a small example:
a group has 1.5M free which are 300k, 300k, 300k, 300k, 300k.
And minblocks is 1M.  With current solution, we have to iterate
the whole group since these 300k will never be subtracted from
1.5M.  But actually we should exit after we find the first 2
free spaces since the left 3 chunks only sum up to 900K if we
subtract the first 600K although they can't be trimed.

22f1045743 ext4: fix trim length underflow with small trim length
In 0f0a25b, we adjust 'len' with s_first_data_block - start, but
it could underflow in case blocksize=1K, fstrim_range.len=512 and
fstrim_range.start = 0. In this case, when we run the code:
len -= first_data_blk - start; len will be underflow to -1ULL.
In the end, although we are safe that last_group check later will limit
the trim to the whole volume, but that isn't what the user really want.

So this patch fix it. It also adds the check for 'start' like ext3 so that
we can break immediately if the start is invalid.

575a1d4bdf ext4: free allocated and pre-allocated blocks when check_eofblocks_fl fails
Upon corrupted inode or disk failures, we may fail after we already
allocate some blocks from the inode or take some blocks from the
inode's preallocation list, but before we successfully insert the
corresponding extent to the extent tree. In this case, we should free
any allocated blocks and discard the inode's preallocated blocks
because the entries in the inode's preallocation list may be in an
inconsistent state.

7132de744b ext4: fix i_blocks/quota accounting when extent insertion fails
The current implementation of ext4_free_blocks() always calls
dquot_free_block This looks quite sensible in the most cases: blocks
to be freed are associated with inode and were accounted in quota and
i_blocks some time ago.

However, there is a case when blocks to free were not accounted by the
time calling ext4_free_blocks() yet:

1. delalloc is on, write_begin pre-allocated some space in quota
2. write-back happens, ext4 allocates some blocks in ext4_ext_map_blocks()
3. then ext4_ext_map_blocks() gets an error (e.g.  ENOSPC) from
   ext4_ext_insert_extent() and calls ext4_free_blocks().

In this scenario, ext4_free_blocks() calls dquot_free_block() who, in
turn, decrements i_blocks for blocks which were not accounted yet (due
to delalloc) After clean umount, e2fsck reports something like:

> Inode 21, i_blocks is 5080, should be 5128.  Fix<y>?
because i_blocks was erroneously decremented as explained above.

The patch fixes the problem by passing the new flag
EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_NO_QUOT_UPDATE to ext4_free_blocks(), to request
that the dquot_free_block() call be skipped.

275d3ba6b4 ext4: remove loop around bio_alloc()
These days, bio_alloc() is guaranteed to never fail (as long as nvecs
is less than BIO_MAX_PAGES), so we don't need the loop around the
struct bio allocation.

f86186b44b ext4: refactor duplicated block placement code
I found that ext4_ext_find_goal() and ext4_find_near()
share the same code for returning a coloured start block
based on i_block_group.

We can refactor this into a common function so that they
don't diverge in the future.

Thanks to adilger for suggesting the new function name.
