e367626b61 ext3: Remove syncing logic from ext3_file_write
Syncing is now properly done by generic_file_aio_write() so no special logic is
needed in ext3.

1d5ccd1c42 ext[234]: move over to 'check_acl' permission model
Don't implement per-filesystem 'extX_permission()' functions that have
to be called for every path component operation, and instead just expose
the actual ACL checking so that the VFS layer can now do it for us.

3c4cec6527 ext3: Improve error message that changing journaling mode on remount is not possible
This patch makes the error message about changing journaling mode on remount
more descriptive. Some people are going to hit this error now due to commit
bbae8bcc49 if they configure a kernel to default
to data=writeback mode. The problem happens if they have data=ordered set for
the root filesystem in /etc/fstab but not in the kernel command line (and they
don't use initrd). Their filesystem then gets mounted as data=writeback by
kernel but then their boot fails because init scripts won't be able to remount
the filesystem rw. Better error message will hopefully make it easier for them
to find the error in their setup and bother us less with error reports :).

6d41807614 ext3: Update Kconfig description of EXT3_DEFAULTS_TO_ORDERED
The old description for this configuration option was perhaps not
completely balanced in terms of describing the tradeoffs of using a
default of data=writeback vs. data=ordered.  Despite the fact that old
description very strongly recomended disabling this feature, all of
the major distributions have elected to preserve the existing 'legacy'
default, which is a strong hint that it perhaps wasn't telling the
whole story.

This revised description has been vetted by a number of ext3
developers as being better at informing the user about the tradeoffs
of enabling or disabling this configuration feature.

43237b5490 ext3: Get rid of extenddisksize parameter of ext3_get_blocks_handle()
Get rid of extenddisksize parameter of ext3_get_blocks_handle(). This seems to
be a relict from some old days and setting disksize in this function does not
make much sence. Currently it was set only by ext3_getblk().  Since the
parameter has some effect only if create == 1, it is easy to check that the
three callers which end up calling ext3_getblk() with create == 1 (ext3_append,
ext3_quota_write, ext3_mkdir) do the right thing and set disksize themselves.

9eaaa2d575 ext3: Fix truncation of symlinks after failed write
Contents of long symlinks is written via standard write methods. So when the
write fails, we add inode to orphan list. But symlinks don't have .truncate
method defined so nobody properly removes them from the orphan list (both on
disk and in memory).

Fix this by calling ext3_truncate() directly instead of calling vmtruncate()
(which is saner anyway since we don't need anything vmtruncate() does except
from calling .truncate in these paths).  We also add inode to orphan list only
if ext3_can_truncate() is true (currently, it can be false for symlinks when
there are no blocks allocated) - otherwise orphan list processing will complain
and ext3_truncate() will not remove inode from on-disk orphan list.

ef43618a47 ext3: make sure inode is deleted from orphan list after truncate
As Ted pointed out, it can happen that ext3_truncate() returns without
removing inode from orphan list.  This way we could in some rare cases
(like when we get ENOMEM from an allocation in ext3_truncate called
because of failed ext3_write_begin) leave the inode on orphan list and
that triggers assertion failure on umount.

So make ext3_truncate() always remove inode from in-memory orphan list.

e8ef7aaea7 ext3: fix chain verification in ext3_get_blocks()
Chain verification in ext3_get_blocks() has been hosed since it called
verify_chain(chain, NULL) which always returns success.  As a result
readers could in theory race with truncate.  On the other hand the race
probably cannot happen with the current locking scheme, since by the
time ext3_truncate() is called all the pages are already removed and
hence get_block() shouldn't be called on such pages...

9c64daff9d ext3: avoid unnecessary spinlock in critical POSIX ACL path
If a filesystem supports POSIX ACL's, the VFS layer expects the filesystem
to do POSIX ACL checks on any files not owned by the caller, and it does
this for every single pathname component that it looks up.

That obviously can be pretty expensive if the filesystem isn't careful
about it, especially with locking. That's doubly sad, since the common
case tends to be that there are no ACL's associated with the files in
question.

ext3 already caches the ACL data so that it doesn't have to look it up
over and over again, but it does so by taking the inode->i_lock spinlock
on every lookup. Which is a noticeable overhead even if it's a private
lock, especially on CPU's where the serialization is expensive (eg Intel
Netburst aka 'P4').

For the special case of not actually having any ACL's, all that locking is
unnecessary. Even if somebody else were to be changing the ACL's on
another CPU, we simply don't care - if we've seen a NULL ACL, we might as
well use it.

So just load the ACL speculatively without any locking, and if it was
NULL, just use it. If it's non-NULL (either because we had a cached
entry, or because the cache hasn't been filled in at all), it means that
we'll need to get the lock and re-load it properly.

This is noticeable even on Nehalem, which does locking quite well (much
better than P4). From lmbench:

	Processor, Processes - times in microseconds - smaller is better
	--------------------------------------------------------------------
	Host                 OS  Mhz null null      open slct fork exec sh
	                             call  I/O stat clos TCP  proc proc proc

	nehalem.l Linux 2.6.30- 3193 0.04 0.09 0.92 1.39 2.36 67.4 293. 1148

where you can see what appears to be a roughly 3% improvement in stat
and open/close latencies from just the removal of the locking overhead.

Of course, this only matters for files you don't own (the owner never
needs to do the ACL checks), but that's the common case for libraries,
header files, and executables. As well as for the base components of any
absolute pathname, even if you are the owner of the final file.

[ At some point we probably want to move this ACL caching logic entirely
  into the VFS layer (and only call down to the filesystem when
  uncached), but in the meantime this improves ext3 a bit.

  A similar fix to btrfs makes a much bigger difference (15x improvement
  in lmbench) due to broken caching. ]

bbd6851a32 Push lock_super() into the ->remount_fs() of filesystems that care about it
Note that since we can't run into contention between remount_fs and write_super
(due to exclusion on s_umount), we have to care only about filesystems that
touch lock_super() on their own.  Out of those ext3, ext4, hpfs, sysv and ufs
do need it; fat doesn't since its ->remount_fs() only accesses assign-once
data (basically, it's "we have no atime on directories and only have atime on
files for vfat; force nodiratime and possibly noatime into *flags").

6cfd014842 push BKL down into ->put_super
Move BKL into ->put_super from the only caller.  A couple of
filesystems had trivial enough ->put_super (only kfree and NULLing of
s_fs_info + stuff in there) to not get any locking: coda, cramfs, efs,
hugetlbfs, omfs, qnx4, shmem, all others got the full treatment.  Most
of them probably don't need it, but I'd rather sort that out individually.
Preferably after all the other BKL pushdowns in that area.

removed since we don't do lock_super() at all in generic_shutdown_super()
now]

e1defc4ff0 block: Do away with the notion of hardsect_size
Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical
block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device.
With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case.  The
sector size will be 4KB but the logical block size will remain
512-bytes.  Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
and the logical ditto.

This patch renames hardsect_size to logical_block_size.

695f6ae0dc ext3: avoid false EIO errors
Sometimes block_write_begin() can map buffers in a page but later we
fail to copy data into those buffers (because the source page has been
paged out in the mean time).  We then end up with !uptodate mapped
buffers.  To add a bit more to the confusion, block_write_end() does
not commit any data (and thus does not any mark buffers as uptodate) if
we didn't succeed with copying all the data.

Commit f4fc66a894 (ext3: convert to new
aops) missed these cases and thus we were inserting non-uptodate
buffers to transaction's list which confuses JBD code and it reports IO
errors, aborts a transaction and generally makes users afraid about
their data ;-P.

This patch fixes the problem by reorganizing ext3_..._write_end() code
to first call block_write_end() to mark buffers with valid data
uptodate and after that we file only uptodate buffers to transaction's
lists.

We also fix a problem where we could leave blocks allocated beyond i_size
(i_disksize in fact) because of failed write. We now add inode to orphan
list when write fails (to be safe in case we crash) and then truncate blocks
beyond i_size in a separate transaction.

de18f3b2d6 ext3: return -EIO not -ESTALE on directory traversal through deleted inode
ext3_iget() returns -ESTALE if invoked on a deleted inode, in order to
report errors to NFS properly.  However, in ext[234]_lookup(), this
-ESTALE can be propagated to userspace if the filesystem is corrupted such
that a directory entry references a deleted inode.  This leads to a
misleading error message - "Stale NFS file handle" - and confusion on the
part of the admin.

The bug can be easily reproduced by creating a new filesystem, making a
link to an unused inode using debugfs, then mounting and attempting to ls
-l said link.

This patch thus changes ext3_lookup to return -EIO if it receives -ESTALE
from ext3_iget(), as ext3 does for other filesystem metadata corruption;
and also invokes the appropriate ext*_error functions when this case is
detected.

02ac597c9b ext3: revert "ext3: wait on all pending commits in ext3_sync_fs"
This reverts commit c87591b719.

Since journal_start_commit() is now fixed to return 1 when we started a
transaction commit, there's some transaction waiting to be committed or
there's a transaction already committing, we don't need to call
ext3_force_commit() in ext3_sync_fs().  Furthermore ext3_force_commit()
can unnecessarily create sync transaction which is expensive so it's
worthwhile to remove it when we can.

c4be0c1dc4 filesystem freeze: add error handling of write_super_lockfs/unlockfs
Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which
suspends write requests.  So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the
filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and
replication) while it is mounted.

In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g.  VxFS) has the freeze feature
and it would be used to get the consistent backup.

If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it
without a commercial filesystem.

So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature.
I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps.
1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl.
2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot
   with the storage device's feature.
3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl.
4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume
   or the snapshot.

This patch:

VFS:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they can return an error.
Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation
freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion.

ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed,
and unlockfs always returns 0.

reiserfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.

04143e2fb9 ext3: tighten restrictions on inode flags
At the moment there are few restrictions on which flags may be set on
which inodes.  Specifically DIRSYNC may only be set on directories and
IMMUTABLE and APPEND may not be set on links.  Tighten that to disallow
TOPDIR being set on non-directories and only NODUMP and NOATIME to be set
on non-regular file, non-directories.

Introduces a flags masking function which masks flags based on mode and
use it during inode creation and when flags are set via the ioctl to
facilitate future consistency.

2e8671cb56 ext3: don't inherit inappropriate inode flags from parent
At present INDEX is the only flag that new ext3 inodes do NOT inherit from
their parent.  In addition prevent the flags DIRTY, ECOMPR, IMAGIC and
TOPDIR from being inherited.  List inheritable flags explicitly to prevent
future flags from accidentally being inherited.

This fixes the TOPDIR flag inheritance bug reported at

5df096d67e ext3: allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock separately
As spotted by kmemtrace, struct ext3_sb_info is 17152 bytes on 64-bit
which makes it a very bad fit for SLAB allocators.  The culprit of the
wasted memory is ->s_blockgroup_lock which can be as big as 16 KB when
NR_CPUS >= 32.

To fix that, allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock, which fits nicely in a order 2
page in the worst case, separately.  This shinks down struct ext3_sb_info
enough to fit a 1 KB slab cache so now we allocate 16 KB + 1 KB instead of
32 KB saving 15 KB of memory.

54566b2c15 fs: symlink write_begin allocation context fix
With the write_begin/write_end aops, page_symlink was broken because it
could no longer pass a GFP_NOFS type mask into the point where the
allocations happened.  They are done in write_begin, which would always
assume that the filesystem can be entered from reclaim.  This bug could
cause filesystem deadlocks.

The funny thing with having a gfp_t mask there is that it doesn't really
allow the caller to arbitrarily tinker with the context in which it can be
called.  It couldn't ever be GFP_ATOMIC, for example, because it needs to
take the page lock.  The only thing any callers care about is __GFP_FS
anyway, so turn that into a single flag.

Add a new flag for write_begin, AOP_FLAG_NOFS.  Filesystems can now act on
this flag in their write_begin function.  Change __grab_cache_page to
accept a nofs argument as well, to honour that flag (while we're there,
change the name to grab_cache_page_write_begin which is more instructive
and does away with random leading underscores).

This is really a more flexible way to go in the end anyway -- if a
filesystem happens to want any extra allocations aside from the pagecache
ones in ints write_begin function, it may now use GFP_KERNEL (rather than
GFP_NOFS) for common case allocations (eg.  ocfs2_alloc_write_ctxt, for a
random example).

6b082b5312 ext3: provide function to release metadata pages under memory pressure
Pages in the page cache belonging to ext3 data files are released via
the ext3_releasepage() function specified in the ext3 inode's
address_space_ops.  However, metadata blocks (such as indirect blocks,
directory blocks, etc) are managed via the block device
address_space_ops, and they can not be released by
try_to_free_buffers() if they have a journal head attached to them.

To address this, we supply a try_to_free_pages() function which calls
journal_try_to_free_buffers() function to free the metadata, and which
is called by the block device's blkdev_releasepage() function.
