Pull ext4 bug fixes from Ted Ts'o:
"The following are all bug fixes and regressions. The most notable are
the ones which cause problems for ext4 on RAID --- a performance
problem when mounting very large filesystems, and a kernel OOPS when
doing an rm -rf on large directory hierarchies on fast devices."* tag 'ext4_for_linus_stable' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tytso/ext4:

Commit 968dee7722: "ext4: fix hole punch failure when depth is greater

This could be reproduced as follows:
The problem in commit 968dee7722 was that caused the variable 'i' to
be left uninitialized if the truncate required more space than was
available in the journal. This resulted in the function
ext4_ext_truncate_extend_restart() returning -EAGAIN, which caused
ext4_ext_remove_space() to restart the truncate operation after
starting a new jbd2 handle.Reported-by: Maciej Żenczykowski

Commit 8aeb00ff85a: "ext4: fix overhead calculation used by
ext4_statfs()" introduced a O(n**2) calculation which makes very large
file systems take forever to mount. Fix this with an optimization for
non-bigalloc file systems. (For bigalloc file systems the overhead

While in ext4_validate_block_bitmap(), if an block allocation bitmap
is found to be invalid, we call ext4_error() while the block group is
still locked. This causes ext4_commit_super() to call a function
which might sleep while in an atomic context.There's no need to keep the block group locked at this point, so hoist
the ext4_error() call up to ext4_validate_block_bitmap() and release
the block group spinlock before calling ext4_error().The reported stack trace can be found at:

Commit 03179fe923 introduced a kmemcheck complaint in
ext4_da_get_block_prep() because we save and restore
ei->i_da_metadata_calc_last_lblock even though it is left
uninitialized in the case where i_da_metadata_calc_len is zero.This doesn't hurt anything, but silencing the kmemcheck complaint
makes it easier for people to find real bugs.Addresses https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45631

After we transfer set the EXT4_ERROR_FS bit in the file system
superblock, it's not enough to call jbd2_journal_clear_err() to clear
the error indication from journal superblock --- we need to call
jbd2_journal_update_sb_errno() as well. Otherwise, when the root file
system is mounted read-only, the journal is replayed, and the error
indicator is transferred to the superblock --- but the s_errno field
in the jbd2 superblock is left set (since although we cleared it in
memory, we never flushed it out to disk).This can end up confusing e2fsck. We should make e2fsck more robust
in this case, but the kernel shouldn't be leaving things in this
confused state, either.Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"

We remove most of frozen checks since upper layer takes care of blocking all
writes. We have to handle protection in ext4_page_mkwrite() in a special way
because we cannot use generic block_page_mkwrite(). Also we add a freeze
protection to ext4_evict_inode() so that iput() of unlinked inode cannot modify
a frozen filesystem (we cannot easily instrument ext4_journal_start() /
ext4_journal_stop() with freeze protection because we are missing the
superblock pointer in ext4_journal_stop() in nojournal mode).CC: linux-ext4@vger.kernel.org

Convert ext4_count_free() to use memweight() instead of table lookup
based counting clear bits implementation. This change only affects the
code segments enabled by EXT4FS_DEBUG.Note that this memweight() call can't be replaced with a single
bitmap_weight() call, although the pointer to the memory area is aligned
to long-word boundary. Because the size of the memory area may not be a
multiple of BITS_PER_LONG, then it returns wrong value on big-endian
architecture.This also includes the following change.

Pull the big VFS changes from Al Viro:
"This one is *big* and changes quite a few things around VFS. What's in there:- the first of two really major architecture changes - death to open
intents.The former is finally there; it was very long in making, but with
Miklos getting through really hard and messy final push in
fs/namei.c, we finally have it. Unlike his variant, this one
doesn't introduce struct opendata; what we have instead is
->atomic_open() taking preallocated struct file * and passing
everything via its fields.Instead of returning struct file *, it returns -E... on error, 0
on success and 1 in "deal with it yourself" case (e.g. symlink
found on server, etc.).See comments before fs/namei.c:atomic_open(). That made a lot of
goodies finally possible and quite a few are in that pile:
->lookup(), ->d_revalidate() and ->create() do not get struct
nameidata * anymore; ->lookup() and ->d_revalidate() get lookup
flags instead, ->create() gets "do we want it exclusive" flag.With the introduction of new helper (kern_path_locked()) we are rid
of all struct nameidata instances outside of fs/namei.c; it's still
visible in namei.h, but not for long. Come the next cycle,
declaration will move either to fs/internal.h or to fs/namei.c
itself. [me, miklos, hch]- The second major change: behaviour of final fput(). Now we have
__fput() done without any locks held by caller *and* not from deep
in call stack.That obviously lifts a lot of constraints on the locking in there.
Moreover, it's legal now to call fput() from atomic contexts (which
has immediately simplified life for aio.c). We also don't need
anti-recursion logics in __scm_destroy() anymore.There is a price, though - the damn thing has become partially
asynchronous. For fput() from normal process we are guaranteed
that pending __fput() will be done before the caller returns to
userland, exits or gets stopped for ptrace.For kernel threads and atomic contexts it's done via
schedule_work(), so theoretically we might need a way to make sure
it's finished; so far only one such place had been found, but there
might be more.There's flush_delayed_fput() (do all pending __fput()) and there's
__fput_sync() (fput() analog doing __fput() immediately). I hope
we won't need them often; see warnings in fs/file_table.c for
details. [me, based on task_work series from Oleg merged last
cycle]- sync series from Jan
- large part of "death to sync_supers()" work from Artem; the only
bits missing here are exofs and ext4 ones. As far as I understand,
those are going via the exofs and ext4 trees resp.; once they are
in, we can put ->write_super() to the rest, along with the thread
calling it.- preparatory bits from unionmount series (from dhowells).
- assorted cleanups and fixes all over the place, as usual.
This is not the last pile for this cycle; there's at least jlayton's
ESTALE work and fsfreeze series (the latter - in dire need of fixes,
so I'm not sure it'll make the cut this cycle). I'll probably throw
symlink/hardlink restrictions stuff from Kees into the next pile, too.

The function ext4_calc_metadata_amount() has side effects, although
it's not obvious from its function name. So if we fail to claim
space, regardless of whether we retry to claim the space again, or
return an error, we need to undo these side effects.Otherwise we can end up incorrectly calculating the number of metadata
blocks needed for the operation, which was responsible for an xfstests
failure for test #271 when using an ext2 file system with delalloc
enabled.Reported-by: Brian Foster

If we hit a condition where we have allocated metadata blocks that

sbi->s_dirtyclusters_counter significantly out of whack and undermine

Whether to continue removing extents or not is decided by the return
value of function ext4_ext_more_to_rm() which checks 2 conditions:
a) if there are no more indexes to process.
b) if the number of entries are decreased in the header of "depth -1".In case of hole punch, if the last block to be removed is not part of
the last extent index than this index will not be deleted, hence the
number of valid entries in the extent header of "depth - 1" will
remain as it is and ext4_ext_more_to_rm will return 0 although the
required blocks are not yet removed.This patch fixes the above mentioned problem as instead of removing
the extents from the end of file, it starts removing the blocks from
the particular extent from which removing blocks is actually required
and continue backward until done.Signed-off-by: Ashish Sangwan

This patch changes the 'ext4_handle_dirty_super()' function which
submits the superblock for I/O in the following cases:1. When creating the first large file on a file system without
EXT4_FEATURE_RO_COMPAT_LARGE_FILE feature.
2. When re-sizing the file-system.
3. When creating an xattr on a file-system without the
EXT4_FEATURE_COMPAT_EXT_ATTR feature.If the file-system has journal enabled, the superblock is written via
the journal. We do not modify this path.If the file-system has no journal, this function, falls back to just
marking the superblock as dirty using the 's_dirt' superblock
flag. This means that it delays the actual superblock I/O submission
by 5 seconds (default setting). Namely, the 'sync_supers()' kernel
thread will call 'ext4_write_super()' later and will actually submit
the superblock for I/O.And this is the behavior this patch modifies: we stop using 's_dirt'
and just mark the superblock buffer as dirty right away. Indeed, all 3
cases above are extremely rare and it does not add any value to delay
the I/O submission for them.Note: 'ext4_handle_dirty_super()' executes
'__ext4_handle_dirty_super()' with 'now = 0'. This patch basically
makes the 'now' argument unneeded and it will be deleted in one of the
next patches.This patch also removes 's_dirt' condition on the unmount path because
we never set it anymore, so we should not test it.Tested using xfstests for both journalled and non-journalled ext4.

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_Ext4This 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.Tested-by: Jan Kara

For ext3/4 htree directories, using the vfs llseek function with
SEEK_END goes to i_size like for any other file, but in reality
we want the maximum possible hash value. Recent changes
in ext4 have cut & pasted generic_file_llseek() back into fs/ext4/dir.c,
but replicating this core code seems like a bad idea, especially
since the copy has already diverged from the vfs.This patch updates generic_file_llseek_size to accept
both a custom maximum offset, and a custom EOF position. With this
in place, ext4_dir_llseek can pass in the appropriate maximum hash
position for both maxsize and eof, and get what it wants.As far as I know, this does not fix any bugs - nfs in the kernel
doesn't use SEEK_END, and I don't know of any user who does. But
some ext4 folks seem keen on doing the right thing here, and I can't
really argue.(Patch also fixes up some comments slightly)

Since the moment writes to quota files are using block device page cache and
space for quota structures is reserved at the moment they are first accessed we
have no reason to sync quota before inode writeback. In fact this order is now
only harmful since quota information can easily change during inode writeback
(either because conversion of delayed-allocated extents or simply because of
allocation of new blocks for simple filesystems not using page_mkwrite).So move syncing of quota information after writeback of inodes into ->sync_fs
method. This way we do not have to use ->quota_sync callback which is primarily
intended for use by quotactl syscall anyway and we get rid of calling
->sync_fs() twice unnecessarily. We skip quota syncing for OCFS2 since it does
proper quota journalling in all cases (unlike ext3, ext4, and reiserfs which
also support legacy non-journalled quotas) and thus there are no dirty quota
structures.CC: "Theodore Ts'o"
