When ext3 is used in data=journal mode, syncing filesystem makes sure
all the data is committed in the journal but the data doesn't have to be
checkpointed. ext3_freeze() then takes care of checkpointing all the
data so all buffer heads are clean but pages can still have dangling
dirty bits. So when flusher thread comes later when filesystem is
frozen, it tries to write back dirty pages, ext3_journalled_writepage()
tries to start a transaction and hangs waiting for frozen fs causing a
deadlock because a holder of s_umount semaphore may be waiting for
flusher thread to complete.
The fix is luckily relatively easy. We don't have to start a transaction
in ext3_journalled_writepage() when a page is just dirty (and doesn't
have PageChecked set) because in that case all buffers should be already
mapped (mapping must happen before writing a buffer to the journal) and
it is enough to write them out. This optimization also solves the deadlock
because block_write_full_page() will just find out there's no buffer to
write and do nothing.

When doing filesystem wide sync, there's no need to force transaction
commit separately for each inode because ext3_sync_fs() takes care of
forcing commit at the end. Most of the time this slowness doesn't
manifest because previous WB_SYNC_NONE writeback doesn't leave much to
write but when there are processes aggressively creating new files and
several filesystems to sync, the sync slowness can be noticeable. In the
following test script sync(1) takes around 6 minutes when there are two
ext3 filesystems mounted on a standard SATA drive. After this patch sync
is about twice as fast in the default data=ordered mode. For
data=writeback mode we have even bigger speedup.
function run_writers
{
for (( i = 0; i < 10; i++ )); do
mkdir $1/dir$i
for (( j = 0; j < 40000; j++ )); do
dd if=/dev/zero of=$1/dir$i/$j bs=4k count=4 &>/dev/null

}

The comment is heavily outdated. The recursion into the filesystem isn't
possible because we use GFP_NOFS for our allocations, the issue about
block_write_full_page() dirtying tail page is long resolved as well
(that function doesn't dirty buffers at all), and finally we don't start
a transaction if all blocks are already allocated and mapped.

Page reclaim keeps track of dirty and under writeback pages and uses it
to determine if wait_iff_congested() should stall or if kswapd should
begin writing back pages. This fails to account for buffer pages that
can be under writeback but not PageWriteback which is the case for
filesystems like ext3 ordered mode. Furthermore, PageDirty buffer pages
can have all the buffers clean and writepage does no IO so it should not
be accounted as congested.
This patch adds an address_space operation that filesystems may
optionally use to check if a page is really dirty or really under
writeback. An implementation is provided for for buffer_heads is added
and used for block operations and ext3 in ordered mode. By default the
page flags are obeyed.
Credit goes to Jan Kara for identifying that the page flags alone are
not sufficient for ext3 and sanity checking a number of ideas on how the
problem could be addressed.

->invalidatepage() aop now accepts range to invalidate so we can make

Currently there is no way to truncate partial page where the end
truncate point is not at the end of the page. This is because it was not
needed and the functionality was enough for file system truncate
operation to work properly. However more file systems now support punch
hole feature and it can benefit from mm supporting truncating page just
up to the certain point.
Specifically, with this functionality truncate_inode_pages_range() can
be changed so it supports truncating partial page at the end of the
range (currently it will BUG_ON() if 'end' is not at the end of the
page).
This commit changes the invalidatepage() address space operation
prototype to accept range to be invalidated and update all the instances
for it.
We also change the block_invalidatepage() in the same way and actually
make a use of the new length argument implementing range invalidation.
Actual file system implementations will follow except the file systems
where the changes are really simple and should not change the behaviour
in any way .Implementation for truncate_page_range() which will be able
to accept page unaligned ranges will follow as well.

In data=journal mode, if we unmount the file system before a
transaction has a chance to complete, when the journal inode is being
evicted, we can end up calling into log_wait_commit() for the
last transaction, after the journalling machinery has been shut down.
That triggers the WARN_ONCE in __log_start_commit().
Arguably we should adjust ext3_should_journal_data() to return FALSE
for the journal inode, but the only place it matters is
ext3_evict_inode(), and so it's to save a bit of CPU time, and to make
the patch much more obviously correct by inspection(tm), we'll fix it
by explicitly not trying to waiting for a journal commit when we are
evicting the journal inode, since it's guaranteed to never succeed in
this case.
This can be easily replicated via:
mount -t ext3 -o data=journal /dev/vdb /vdb ; umount /vdb
This is a port of ext4 fix from Ted Ts'o.

Code tracking when transaction needs to be committed on fdatasync(2) forgets
to handle a situation when only inode's i_size is changed. Thus in such
situations fdatasync(2) doesn't force transaction with new i_size to disk
and that can result in wrong i_size after a crash.
Fix the issue by updating inode's i_datasync_tid whenever its size is
updated.
