linux/fs/ext4/inline.c, branch v3.9

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

2013-02-27T04:16:07Z

Pull vfs pile (part one) from Al Viro: "Assorted stuff - cleaning namei.c up a bit, fixing ->d_name/->d_parent locking violations, etc. The most visible changes here are death of FS_REVAL_DOT (replaced with "has ->d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file to inode. Some bits of preparation to xattr method interface changes. Misc patches by various people sent this cycle *and* ocfs2 fixes from several cycles ago that should've been upstream right then. PS: the next vfs pile will be xattr stuff." * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: (46 commits) saner proc_get_inode() calling conventions proc: avoid extra pde_put() in proc_fill_super() fs: change return values from -EACCES to -EPERM fs/exec.c: make bprm_mm_init() static ocfs2/dlm: use GFP_ATOMIC inside a spin_lock ocfs2: fix possible use-after-free with AIO ocfs2: Fix oops in ocfs2_fast_symlink_readpage() code path get_empty_filp()/alloc_file() leave both ->f_pos and ->f_version zero target: writev() on single-element vector is pointless export kernel_write(), convert open-coded instances fs: encode_fh: return FILEID_INVALID if invalid fid_type kill f_vfsmnt vfs: kill FS_REVAL_DOT by adding a d_weak_revalidate dentry op nfsd: handle vfs_getattr errors in acl protocol switch vfs_getattr() to struct path default SET_PERSONALITY() in linux/elf.h ceph: prepopulate inodes only when request is aborted d_hash_and_lookup(): export, switch open-coded instances 9p: switch v9fs_set_create_acl() to inode+fid, do it before d_instantiate() 9p: split dropping the acls from v9fs_set_create_acl() ...

ext4: pass context information to jbd2__journal_start()

2013-02-09T02:59:22Z

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 tid 570 type 2 line_no 2541 interval 311 sync 0 requested_blocks 1 dirtied_blocks 0 Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"

ext4: return ENOMEM if sb_getblk() fails

2013-01-12T21:19:36Z

The only reason for sb_getblk() failing is if it can't allocate the buffer_head. So ENOMEM is more appropriate than EIO. In addition, make sure that the file system is marked as being inconsistent if sb_getblk() fails. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org

ext4: zero out inline data using memset() instead of empty_zero_page

2012-12-11T08:31:49Z

Not all architectures (in particular, sparc64) have empty_zero_page. So instead of copying from empty_zero_page, use memset to clear the inline data by signalling to ext4_xattr_set_entry() via a magic pointer value, EXT4_ZERO_ATTR_VALUE, which is defined by casting -1 to a pointer. This fixes a build failure on sparc64, and the memset() should be more efficient than using memcpy() anyway. Signed-off-by: Tao Ma Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"

ext4: let fallocate handle inline data correctly

2012-12-10T19:06:03Z

If we are punching hole in a file, we will return ENOTSUPP. As for the fallocation of some extents, we will convert the inline data to a normal extent based file first. Signed-off-by: Tao Ma Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"

ext4: evict inline data out if we need to strore xattr in inode

2012-12-10T19:06:02Z

Now we that store data in the inode, in case we need to store some xattrs and inode doesn't have enough space, Andreas suggested that we should keep the xattr(metadata) in and data should be pushed out. So this patch does the work. Signed-off-by: Tao Ma Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"

ext4: let fiemap work with inline data

2012-12-10T19:06:02Z

fiemap is used to find the disk layout of a file, as for inline data, let us just pretend like a file with just one extent. Signed-off-by: Tao Ma Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o"

ext4: let ext4_rename handle inline dir

2012-12-10T19:06:01Z

In case we rename a directory, ext4_rename has to read the dir block and change its dotdot's information. The old ext4_rename encapsulated the dir_block read into itself. So this patch adds a new function ext4_get_first_dir_block() which gets the dir buffer information so the ext4_rename can handle it properly. As it will also change the parent inode number, we return the parent_de so that ext4_rename() can handle it more easily. ext4_find_entry is also changed so that the caller(rename) can tell whether the found entry is an inlined one or not and journaling the corresponding buffer head.
