ext4: remove expensive flush on fast commit

2021-01-15T19:41:31Z

In the fast commit, it adds REQ_FUA and REQ_PREFLUSH on each fast commit block when barrier is enabled. However, in recovery phase, ext4 compares CRC value in the tail. So it is sufficient to add REQ_FUA and REQ_PREFLUSH on the block that has tail.

ext4: fix wrong list_splice in ext4_fc_cleanup

2021-01-15T19:40:12Z

After full/fast commit, entries in staging queue are promoted to main queue. In ext4_fs_cleanup function, it splice to staging queue to staging queue.

ext4: use IS_ERR instead of IS_ERR_OR_NULL and set inode null when IS_ERR

2021-01-15T19:39:14Z

1: ext4_iget/ext4_find_extent never returns NULL, use IS_ERR instead of IS_ERR_OR_NULL to fix this. 2: ext4_fc_replay_inode should set the inode to NULL when IS_ERR. and go to call iput properly.

ext4: make fast_commit.h byte identical with e2fsprogs/fast_commit.h

2020-12-17T18:30:45Z

This patch makes fast_commit.h byte by byte identical with e2fsprogs/fast_commit.h. This will help us ensure that there are no on-disk format inconsistencies between e2fsck and kernel ext4.

ext4: add docs about fast commit idempotence

2020-12-17T18:30:44Z

Fast commit on-disk format is designed such that the replay of these tags can be idempotent. This patch adds documentation in the code in form of comments and in form kernel docs that describes these characteristics. This patch also adds a TODO item needed to ensure kernel fast commit replay idempotence.

Add missing __acquire() and __releases() annotations, and make fc_ineligible_reasons[] static, as it is not used outside of fs/ext4/fast_commit.c. Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o

ext4: make s_mount_flags modifications atomic

2020-11-07T04:01:05Z

Fast commit file system states are recorded in sbi->s_mount_flags. Fast commit expects these bit manipulations to be atomic. This patch adds helpers to make those modifications atomic.

ext4: fix inode dirty check in case of fast commits

2020-11-07T04:01:05Z

In case of fast commits, determine if the inode is dirty by checking if the inode is on fast commit list. This also helps us get rid of ext4_inode_info.i_fc_committed_subtid field.
