jbd2_alloc is explicit about its allocation preferences wrt. the
allocation size. Sub page allocations go to the slab allocator and
larger are using either the page allocator or vmalloc. This is all good
but the logic is unnecessarily complex.
1) as per Ted, the vmalloc fallback is a left-over:
: jbd2_alloc is only passed in the bh->b_size, which can't be PAGE_SIZE, so
: the code path that calls vmalloc() should never get called. When we
: conveted jbd2_alloc() to suppor sub-page size allocations in commit
: d2eecb0393, there was an assumption that it could be called with a size
: greater than PAGE_SIZE, but that's certaily not true today.
Moreover vmalloc allocation might even lead to a deadlock because the
callers expect GFP_NOFS context while vmalloc is GFP_KERNEL.
2) __GFP_REPEAT for requests <= PAGE_ALLOC_COSTLY_ORDER is ignored
since the flag was introduced.
Let's simplify the code flow and use the slab allocator for sub-page
requests and the page allocator for others. Even though order > 0 is
not currently used as per above leave that option open.

jbd2: add support for avoiding data writes during transaction commits
...
Currently when filesystem needs to make sure data is on permanent
storage before committing a transaction it adds inode to transaction's
inode list. During transaction commit, jbd2 writes back all dirty
buffers that have allocated underlying blocks and waits for the IO to
finish. However when doing writeback for delayed allocated data, we
allocate blocks and immediately submit the data. Thus asking jbd2 to
write dirty pages just unnecessarily adds more work to jbd2 possibly
writing back other redirtied blocks.
Add support to jbd2 to allow filesystem to ask jbd2 to only wait for
outstanding data writes before committing a transaction and thus avoid
unnecessary writes.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

This wasn't a problem until "mm: page_alloc: do not lock up GFP_NOFS

This allocation seems essential for the journal and GFP_NOFS is too
restrictive to the memory allocator so let's use __GFP_NOFAIL here to
emulate the previous behavior.

On umount path, jbd2_journal_destroy() writes latest transaction ID
(->j_tail_sequence) to be used at next mount.
The bug is that ->j_tail_sequence is not holding latest transaction ID
in some cases. So, at next mount, there is chance to conflict with
remaining (not overwritten yet) transactions.
mount (id=10)
write transaction (id=11)
write transaction (id=12)
umount (id=10) <= the bug doesn't write latest ID
mount (id=10)
write transaction (id=11)
crash
mount
[recovery process]
transaction (id=11)
transaction (id=12) <= valid transaction ID, but old commit
must not replay
Like above, this bug become the cause of recovery failure, or FS
corruption.
So why ->j_tail_sequence doesn't point latest ID?
Because if checkpoint transactions was reclaimed by memory pressure
(i.e. bdev_try_to_free_page()), then ->j_tail_sequence is not updated.
(And another case is, __jbd2_journal_clean_checkpoint_list() is called
with empty transaction.)
So in above cases, ->j_tail_sequence is not pointing latest
transaction ID at umount path. Plus, REQ_FLUSH for checkpoint is not
done too.
So, to fix this problem with minimum changes, this patch updates
->j_tail_sequence, and issue REQ_FLUSH. (With more complex changes,
some optimizations would be possible to avoid unnecessary REQ_FLUSH
for example though.)
BTW,
journal->j_tail_sequence =
++journal->j_transaction_sequence;
Increment of ->j_transaction_sequence seems to be unnecessary, but
ext3 does this.

caused by a jbd2 performance improvement"

jbd2: Fix unreclaimed pages after truncate in data=journal mode
ext4: Fix handling of extended tv_sec
Ted and Namjae have reported that truncated pages don't get timely
reclaimed after being truncated in data=journal mode. The following test
triggers the issue easily:
for (i = 0; i < 1000; i++) {
pwrite(fd, buf, 1024*1024, 0);
fsync(fd);
fsync(fd);
ftruncate(fd, 0);
}
The reason is that journal_unmap_buffer() finds that truncated buffers
are not journalled (jh->b_transaction == NULL), they are part of
checkpoint list of a transaction (jh->b_cp_transaction != NULL) and have
been already written out (!buffer_dirty(bh)). We clean such buffers but
we leave them in the checkpoint list. Since checkpoint transaction holds
a reference to the journal head, these buffers cannot be released until
the checkpoint transaction is cleaned up. And at that point we don't
call release_buffer_page() anymore so pages detached from mapping are
lingering in the system waiting for reclaim to find them and free them.
Fix the problem by removing buffers from transaction checkpoint lists
when journal_unmap_buffer() finds out they don't have to be there
anymore.

__GFP_WAIT has been used to identify atomic context in callers that hold
spinlocks or are in interrupts. They are expected to be high priority and
have access one of two watermarks lower than "min" which can be referred
to as the "atomic reserve". __GFP_HIGH users get access to the first
lower watermark and can be called the "high priority reserve".
Over time, callers had a requirement to not block when fallback options
were available. Some have abused __GFP_WAIT leading to a situation where
an optimisitic allocation with a fallback option can access atomic
reserves.
This patch uses __GFP_ATOMIC to identify callers that are truely atomic,
cannot sleep and have no alternative. High priority users continue to use
__GFP_HIGH. __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM identifies callers that can sleep and
are willing to enter direct reclaim. __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM to identify
callers that want to wake kswapd for background reclaim. __GFP_WAIT is
redefined as a caller that is willing to enter direct reclaim and wake
kswapd for background reclaim.
This patch then converts a number of sites
o __GFP_ATOMIC is used by callers that are high priority and have memory
pools for those requests. GFP_ATOMIC uses this flag.
o Callers that have a limited mempool to guarantee forward progress clear
__GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM but keep __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. bio allocations fall
into this category where kswapd will still be woken but atomic reserves
are not used as there is a one-entry mempool to guarantee progress.
o Callers that are checking if they are non-blocking should use the
helper gfpflags_allow_blocking() where possible. This is because
checking for __GFP_WAIT as was done historically now can trigger false
positives. Some exceptions like dm-crypt.c exist where the code intent
is clearer if __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM is used instead of the helper due to
flag manipulations.
o Callers that built their own GFP flags instead of starting with GFP_KERNEL
and friends now also need to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM.
The first key hazard to watch out for is callers that removed __GFP_WAIT
and was depending on access to atomic reserves for inconspicuous reasons.
In some cases it may be appropriate for them to use __GFP_HIGH.
The second key hazard is callers that assembled their own combination of
GFP flags instead of starting with something like GFP_KERNEL. They may
now wish to specify __GFP_KSWAPD_RECLAIM. It's almost certainly harmless
if it's missed in most cases as other activity will wake kswapd.

If a EXT4 filesystem utilizes JBD2 journaling and an error occurs, the
journaling will be aborted first and the error number will be recorded
into JBD2 superblock and, finally, the system will enter into the
panic state in "errors=panic" option. But, in the rare case, this
sequence is little twisted like the below figure and it will happen
that the system enters into panic state, which means the system reset
in mobile environment, before completion of recording an error in the
journal superblock. In this case, e2fsck cannot recognize that the
filesystem failure occurred in the previous run and the corruption
wouldn't be fixed.

Unlike comments and expectation of callers journal_clean_one_cp_list()
returned 1 not only if it freed the transaction but also if it freed
some buffers in the transaction. That could make
__jbd2_journal_clean_checkpoint_list() skip processing
t_checkpoint_io_list and continue with processing the next transaction.
This is mostly a cosmetic issue since the only result is we can
sometimes free less memory than we could. But it's still worth fixing.

Currently there is no limitation on number of reserved credits we can
ask for. If we ask for more reserved credits than 1/2 of maximum
transaction size, or if total number of credits exceeds the maximum
transaction size per operation (which is currently only possible with
the former) we will spin forever in start_this_handle().
Fix this by adding this limitation at the start of start_this_handle().
This patch also removes the credit limitation 1/2 of maximum transaction
size, since we really only want to limit the number of reserved credits.
There is not much point to limit the credits if there is still space in
the journal.
This accidentally also fixes the online resize, where due to the
limitation of the journal credits we're unable to grow file systems with
1k block size and size between 16M and 32M. It has been partially fixed
by 2c869b262a, but not entirely.
