If the user explicitly specifies conflicting mount options for
delalloc or dioread_nolock and data=journal, fail the mount, instead
of printing a warning and continuing (since many user's won't look at
dmesg and notice the warning).Also, print a single warning that data=journal implies that delayed
allocation is not on by default (since it's not supported), and
furthermore that O_DIRECT is not supported. Improve the text in
Documentation/filesystems/ext4.txt so this is clear there as well.Similarly, if the dioread_nolock mount option is specified when the
file system block size != PAGE_SIZE, fail the mount instead of
printing a warning message and ignoring the mount option.Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"

This patch fixes a second punch hole bug found by xfstests 127.
This bug happens because punch hole needs to flush the pages
of the hole to avoid race conditions. But if the end of the
hole is in the same page as i_size, the buffer heads beyond
i_size need to be unmapped and the page needs to be zeroed
after it is flushed.To correct this, the new ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers
routine is used to zero and unmap the partial page
beyond i_size if the end of the hole appears in the same
page as i_size.The code has also been optimized to set the end of the hole
to the page after i_size if the specified hole exceeds i_size,
and the code that flushes the pages has been simplified.Signed-off-by: Allison Henderson

This patch addresses a bug found by xfstests 75, 112, 127
when blocksize = 1kThis bug happens because the punch hole code only zeros
out non block aligned regions of the page. This means that if the
blocks are smaller than a page, then the block aligned regions of
the page inside the hole are left un-zeroed, and their buffer heads
are still mapped. This bug is corrected by using
ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers to properly zero the partial page
at the head and tail of the hole, and unmap the corresponding buffer
headsThis patch also addresses a bug reported by Lukas while working on a
new patch to add discard support for loop devices using punch hole.
The bug happened because of the first and last block number
needed to be cast to a larger data type before calculating the
byte offset, but since now we only need the byte offsets of the
pages, we no longer even need to be calculating the byte offsets
of the blocks. The code to do the block offset calculations is
removed in this patch.Signed-off-by: Allison Henderson

This patch adds two new routines: ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers
and ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock.The ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers routine is a wrapper
function to ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock.
The wrapper function locks the page and passes it to
ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock.
Calling functions that already have the page locked can call
ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock directly.The ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock function
zeros a specified range in a page, and unmaps the
corresponding buffer heads. Only block aligned regions of the
page will have their buffer heads unmapped. Unblock aligned regions
will be mapped if needed so that they can be updated with the
partial zero out. This function is meant to
be used to update a page and its buffer heads to be zeroed
and unmapped when the corresponding blocks have been released
or will be released.This routine is used in the following scenarios:
* A hole is punched and the non page aligned regions
of the head and tail of the hole need to be discarded* The file is truncated and the partial page beyond EOF needs
to be discarded* The end of a hole is in the same page as EOF. After the
page is flushed, the partial page beyond EOF needs to be
discarded.* A write operation begins or ends inside a hole and the partial
page appearing before or after the write needs to be discarded* A write operation extends EOF and the partial page beyond EOF
needs to be discardedThis function takes a flag EXT4_DISCARD_PARTIAL_PG_ZERO_UNMAPPED
which is used when a write operation begins or ends in a hole.
When the EXT4_DISCARD_PARTIAL_PG_ZERO_UNMAPPED flag is used, only
buffer heads that are already unmapped will have the corresponding
regions of the page zeroed.Signed-off-by: Allison Henderson

ext4_dx_add_entry manipulates bh2 and frames[0].bh, which are two buffer_heads
that point to directory blocks assigned to the directory inode. However, the
function calls ext4_handle_dirty_metadata with the inode of the file that's
being added to the directory, not the directory inode itself. Therefore,
correct the code to dirty the directory buffers with the directory inode, not
the file inode.Signed-off-by: Darrick J. Wong

When ext4_rename performs a directory rename (move), dir_bh is a
buffer that is modified to update the '..' link in the directory being

incorrect because dir_bh does not belong to the parent inode. Fix

This doesn't make much sense, and it exposes a bug in the kernel where

The i_mutex lock and flush_completed_IO() added by commit 2581fdc810
in ext4_evict_inode() causes lockdep complaining about potential
deadlock in several places. In most/all of these LOCKDEP complaints
it looks like it's a false positive, since many of the potential
circular locking cases can't take place by the time the
ext4_evict_inode() is called; but since at the very least it may mask
real problems, we need to address this.This change removes the flush_completed_IO() and i_mutex lock in
ext4_evict_inode(). Instead, we take a different approach to resolve
the software lockup that commit 2581fdc810 intends to fix. Rather
than having ext4-dio-unwritten thread wait for grabing the i_mutex
lock of an inode, we use mutex_trylock() instead, and simply requeue
the work item if we fail to grab the inode's i_mutex lock.This should speed up work queue processing in general and also
prevents the following deadlock scenario: During page fault,
shrink_icache_memory is called that in turn evicts another inode B.
Inode B has some pending io_end work so it calls ext4_ioend_wait()
that waits for inode B's i_ioend_count to become zero. However, inode
B's ioend work was queued behind some of inode A's ioend work on the
same cpu's ext4-dio-unwritten workqueue. As the ext4-dio-unwritten
thread on that cpu is processing inode A's ioend work, it tries to
grab inode A's i_mutex lock. Since the i_mutex lock of inode A is
still hold before the page fault happened, we enter a deadlock.Signed-off-by: Jiaying Zhang

Currently HD-audio driver shows the all error ELD byte as an error
in the kernel message. This is annoying when the video driver doesn't
set the correct ELD from the beginning. e.g. radeon sends a zero-byte
data, but we still check ELD with the fixed 128 byte as a workaround
for some broken devices, it spews 128-times errors.For avoiding this, the driver aborts reading when the first byte is
invalid. In such a case, the whole data is certainly invalid.Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai

drm/i915: set GFX_MODE to pre-Ivybridge default value even on Ivybridge -
There is a race between ext4 buffer write and direct_IO read with
dioread_nolock mount option enabled. The problem is that we clear
PageWriteback flag during end_io time but will do
uninitialized-to-initialized extent conversion later with dioread_nolock.
If an O_direct read request comes in during this period, ext4 will return
zero instead of the recently written data.This patch checks whether there are any pending uninitialized-to-initialized
extent conversion requests before doing O_direct read to close the race.
Note that this is just a bandaid fix. The fundamental issue is that we
clear PageWriteback flag before we really complete an IO, which is
problem-prone. To fix the fundamental issue, we may need to implement an
extent tree cache that we can use to look up pending to-be-converted extents.Signed-off-by: Jiaying Zhang

Prior to Ivybridge, the GFX_MODE would default to 0x800, meaning that
MI_FLUSH would flush the TLBs in addition to the rest of the caches
indicated in the MI_FLUSH command. However starting with Ivybridge, the
register defaults to 0x2800 out of reset, meaning that to invalidate the
TLB we need to use PIPE_CONTROL. Since we're not doing that yet, go
back to the old default so things work.v2: don't forget to actually *clear* the new bit

The recent fix for testing dB range at the mixer creation time seems
to cause regressions in some devices. In such devices, reading the dB
info at probing time gives an error, thus both dBmin and dBmax are still
zero, and TLV flag isn't set although the later read of dB info succeeds.This patch adds a workaround for such a case by assuming that the later
read will succeed. In future, a similar test should be performed in a
case where a wrong dB range is seen even in the later read.Signed-off-by: Takashi Iwai
