The ext4 module uses rcu_call() thus it should use rcu_barrier()on
module unload.
The kmem cache ext4_pspace_cachep is sometimes free'ed using
call_rcu() callbacks. Thus, we must wait for completion of call_rcu()
before doing kmem_cache_destroy().

Ted noticed a stack-deep callchain through
writepages->ext4_mb_regular_allocator->ext4_mb_init_cache->submit_bh ...
With all the static functions in mballoc.c, gcc helpfully
inlines for us, and we get something like this:
ext4_mb_regular_allocator (232 bytes stack)
ext4_mb_init_cache (232 bytes stack)
submit_bh (starts 464 deeper)
the 2 ext4 functions here get several others inlined; by telling
gcc not to inline them, we can save stack space for when we
head off into submit_bh land and associated block layer callchains.
The following noinlined functions are only called once, so this
won't impact any other callchains:
ext4_mb_regular_allocator (104) (was 232)
ext4_mb_find_by_goal (56) (noinlined)
ext4_mb_init_group (24) (noinlined)
ext4_mb_init_cache (136) (was 232)
ext4_mb_generate_buddy (88) (noinlined)
ext4_mb_generate_from_pa (40) (noinlined)
submit_bh
ext4_mb_simple_scan_group (24) (noinlined)
ext4_mb_scan_aligned (56) (noinlined)
ext4_mb_complex_scan_group (40) (noinlined)
ext4_mb_try_best_found (24) (noinlined)
now when we head off into submit_bh() we're only 264 bytes deeper
in stack than when we entered ext4_mb_regular_allocator()
(vs. 464 bytes before). Every 200 bytes helps. :)

To catch filesystem bugs or corruption which could lead to the
filesystem getting severly damaged, this patch adds a facility for
tracking all of the filesystem metadata blocks by contiguous regions
in a red-black tree. This allows quick searching of the tree to
locate extents which might overlap with filesystem metadata blocks.
This facility is also used by the multi-block allocator to assure that
it is not allocating blocks out of the system zone, as well as by the
routines used when reading indirect blocks and extents information
from disk to make sure their contents are valid.

By avoiding the use of not-yet-used block groups (i.e., block groups
with the BLOCK_UNINIT flag), mballoc had a tendency to create large
files with large non-contiguous gaps. In addition avoiding the use of
new block groups had a tendency to push regular file data into the
first block group in a flex_bg group, which slows down the speed of
e2fsck pass 2, since it has a tendency to seek much more. For
example:
Before Patch After Patch
Time in seconds Time in seconds
Real / User/ Sys MB/s Real / User/ Sys MB/s
Pass 1 8.52 / 2.21 / 0.46 20.43 8.84 / 4.97 / 1.11 19.68
Pass 2 21.16 / 1.02 / 1.86 11.30 6.54 / 1.77 / 1.78 36.39

Total 32.40 / 5.11 / 2.49 12.81 17.99 / 8.75 / 2.98 23.01
This was on a sample 80 gig root filesystem which was approximately
50% full. Note the improved e2fsck pass 2 performance, by over a
factor of 3, due to a decreased number of seeks. (The total amount of
I/O in pass 2 was unchanged; the layout of the directory blocks was
simply much better from e2fsck's's perspective.)
Other changes as a result of this patch on this sample filesystem:
Before Patch After Patch
# of non-contig files 762 779
# of non-contig directories 571 570
# of BLOCK_UNINIT bg's 307 293
# of INODE_UNINIT bg's 503 503
Out of 640 block groups, of which 333 were in use, this patch caused
an extra 14 block groups to be utilized. The number of non-contiguous
files did go up slightly, but when measured against the 99.9% of the
files (603,154) which were contiguously allocated, this is pretty
insignificant.

Ext4's on-line resizing adds a new block group and then, only at the
last step adjusts s_groups_count. However, it's possible on SMP
systems that another CPU could see the updated the s_group_count and
not see the newly initialized data structures for the just-added block
group. For this reason, it's important to insert a SMP read barrier
after reading s_groups_count and before reading any (for example) the
new block group descriptors allowed by the increased value of
s_groups_count.
Unfortunately, we rather blatently violate this locking protocol
documented in fs/ext4/resize.c. Fortunately, (1) on-line resizes
happen relatively rarely, and (2) it seems rare that the filesystem
code will immediately try to use just-added block group before any
memory ordering issues resolve themselves. So apparently problems
here are relatively hard to hit, since ext3 has been vulnerable to the
same issue for years with no one apparently complaining.

The find_group_flex() inode allocator is now only used if the
filesystem is mounted using the "oldalloc" mount option. It is
replaced with the original Orlov allocator that has been updated for
flex_bg filesystems (it should behave the same way if flex_bg is
disabled). The inode allocator now functions by taking into account
each flex_bg group, instead of each block group, when deciding whether
or not it's time to allocate a new directory into a fresh flex_bg.
The block allocator has also been changed so that the first block
group in each flex_bg is preferred for use for storing directory
blocks. This keeps directory blocks close together, which is good for
speeding up e2fsck since large directories are more likely to look
like this:

This is for Red Hat bug 490026: EXT4 panic, list corruption in
ext4_mb_new_inode_pa
ext4_lock_group(sb, group) is supposed to protect this list for
each group, and a common code flow to remove an album is like
this:
ext4_get_group_no_and_offset(sb, pa->pa_pstart, &grp, NULL);
ext4_lock_group(sb, grp);
list_del(&pa->pa_group_list);
ext4_unlock_group(sb, grp);
so it's critical that we get the right group number back for
this prealloc context, to lock the right group (the one
associated with this pa) and prevent concurrent list manipulation.
however, ext4_mb_put_pa() passes in (pa->pa_pstart - 1) with a
comment, "-1 is to protect from crossing allocation group".
This makes sense for the group_pa, where pa_pstart is advanced
by the length which has been used (in ext4_mb_release_context()),
and when the entire length has been used, pa_pstart has been
advanced to the first block of the next group.
However, for inode_pa, pa_pstart is never advanced; it's just
set once to the first block in the group and not moved after
that. So in this case, if we subtract one in ext4_mb_put_pa(),
we are actually locking the *previous* group, and opening the
race with the other threads which do not subtract off the extra
block.

We need to make sure we update the block bitmap and clear
EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT flag with sb_bgl_lock held, since
ext4_read_block_bitmap() looks at EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT to decide
whether to initialize the block bitmap each time it is called
(introduced by commit c806e68f), and this can race with block
allocations in ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used().
ext4_read_block_bitmap does:
spin_lock(sb_bgl_lock(EXT4_SB(sb), block_group));
if (desc->bg_flags & cpu_to_le16(EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT)) {
ext4_init_block_bitmap(sb, bh, block_group, desc);
Now on the block allocation side we do
mb_set_bits(sb_bgl_lock(sbi, ac->ac_b_ex.fe_group), bitmap_bh->b_data,
ac->ac_b_ex.fe_start, ac->ac_b_ex.fe_len);
....
spin_lock(sb_bgl_lock(sbi, ac->ac_b_ex.fe_group));
if (gdp->bg_flags & cpu_to_le16(EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT)) {
gdp->bg_flags &= cpu_to_le16(~EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT);
ie on allocation we update the bitmap then we take the sb_bgl_lock
and clear the EXT4_BG_BLOCK_UNINIT flag. What can happen is a
parallel ext4_read_block_bitmap can zero out the bitmap in between
the above mb_set_bits and spin_lock(sb_bg_lock..)

to bypass the page cache. Results:

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
