When we read in an extent tree leaf block from disk, arrange to have
all of its entries cached. In nearly all cases the in-memory
representation will be more compact than the on-disk representation in
the buffer cache, and it allows us to get the information without
having to traverse the extent tree for successive extents.Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"

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. Having
longer-running handles is bad, because a commit started at the wrong
time could stall for those 20+ milliseconds, which could delay an
fsync() or an O_SYNC operation. Here is an example line from the
trace file describing a handle which lived on for 311 jiffies, or over
1.2 seconds:postmark-2917 [000] .... 196.435786: jbd2_handle_stats: dev 254,32

Previously, ext4_extents.h was being included at the end of ext4.h,
which was bad for a number of reasons: (a) it was not being included
in the expected place, and (b) it caused the header to be included
multiple times. There were #ifdef's to prevent this from causing any
problems, but it still was unnecessary.By moving the function declarations that were in ext4_extents.h to
ext4.h, which is standard practice for where the function declarations
for the rest of ext4.h can be found, we can remove ext4_extents.h from
being included in ext4.h at all, and then we can only include
ext4_extents.h where it is needed in ext4's source files.It should be possible to move a few more things into ext4.h, and
further reduce the number of source files that need to #include
ext4_extents.h, but that's a cleanup for another day.Reported-by: Sachin Kamat

…it slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org>

Add the facility for ext4_forget() to be called from
ext4_free_blocks(). This simplifies the code in a large number of
places, and centralizes most of the work of calling ext4_forget() into
a single place.Also fix a bug in the extents migration code; it wasn't calling
ext4_forget() when releasing the indirect blocks during the
conversion. As a result, if the system cashed during or shortly after
the extents migration, and the released indirect blocks get reused as
data blocks, the journal replay would corrupt the data blocks. With
this new patch, fixing this bug was as simple as adding the
EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_FORGET flags to the call to ext4_free_blocks().Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"

When writing into an unitialized extent via direct I/O, and the direct
I/O doesn't exactly cover the unitialized extent, split the extent
into uninitialized and initialized extents before submitting the I/O.
This avoids needing to deal with an ENOSPC error in the end_io
callback that gets used for direct I/O.When the IO is complete, the written extent will be marked as initialized.

Enhance the inode allocator to take a goal inode number as a
paremeter; if it is specified, it takes precedence over Orlov or
parent directory inode allocation algorithms.The extents migration function uses the goal inode number so that the
extent trees allocated the migration function use the correct flex_bg.
In the future, the goal inode functionality will also be used to
allocate an adjacent inode for the extended attributes.Also, for testing purposes the goal inode number can be specified via
/sys/fs/{dev}/inode_goal. This can be useful for testing inode
allocation beyond 2^32 blocks on very large filesystems.Signed-off-by: Andreas Dilger

This mount option is largely superfluous, and in fact the way it was
implemented was buggy; if a filesystem which did not have the extents
feature flag was mounted -o extents, the filesystem would attempt to
create and use extents-based file even though the extents feature flag
was not eabled. The simplest thing to do is to nuke the mount option
entirely. It's not all that useful to force the non-creation of new
extent-based files if the filesystem can support it.Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"

A few weeks ago I posted a patch for discussion that allowed ext4 to run
without a journal. 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 -i2which 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/sSo it seems that, so far, this was a useful exercise.

This patch modified the writepage/write_begin credit calculation for
extent files, to use the credits caculation helper function.The current calculation of how many index/leaf blocks should be
accounted is too conservetive, it always considered the worse case,
where the tree level is 5, and in the case of multiple chunk
allocations, it always assumed no blocks were dirtied in common across
the allocations. This path uses the accurate depth of the inode with
some extras to calculate the index blocks, and also less conservative in
the case of multiple allocation accounting.Signed-off-by: Mingming Cao
