0a10da73e1 ext4: fix a wrong comment in __mb_check_buddy()

ebbe027797 ext4: use stream-alloc when mb_group_prealloc set to zero
The kernel will crash on 

ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used:
	BUG_ON(ac->ac_b_ex.fe_len <= 0);

after we set /sys/fs/ext4/sda/mb_group_prealloc to zero and create new files in an ext4 filesystem.

The reason is: ac_b_ex.fe_len also set to zero(mb_group_prealloc) in ext4_mb_normalize_group_request
because the ac_flags contains EXT4_MB_HINT_GROUP_ALLOC.

I think when someone set mb_group_prealloc to zero, it means DO NOT USE GROUP PREALLOCATION,
so we should set alloc-strategy to STREAM in this case.

In commit 79a77c5ac, we move ext4_mb_init_backend after the allocation

The field bg_free_blocks_count_{lo,high} in the block group

we need to fix up to add support for online resize.

7b415bf60f ext4: Fix bigalloc quota accounting and i_blocks value
With bigalloc changes, the i_blocks value was not correctly set (it was still

53accfa9f8 ext4: teach mballoc preallocation code about bigalloc clusters
In most of mballoc.c, we do everything in units of clusters, since the
block allocation bitmaps and buddy bitmaps are all denominated in
clusters.  The one place where we do deal with absolute block numbers
is in the code that handles the preallocation regions, since in the
case of inode-based preallocation regions, the start of the
preallocation region can't be relative to the beginning of the group.

So this adds a bit of complexity, where pa_pstart and pa_lstart are
block numbers, while pa_free, pa_len, and fe_len are denominated in
units of clusters.

3d56b8d2c7 ext4: Speed up FITRIM by recording flags in ext4_group_info
In ext4, when FITRIM is called every time, we iterate all the
groups and do trim one by one. It is a bit time wasting if the
group has been trimmed and there is no change since the last
trim.

So this patch adds a new flag in ext4_group_info->bb_state to
indicate that the group has been trimmed, and it will be cleared
if some blocks is freed(in release_blocks_on_commit). Another
trim_minlen is added in ext4_sb_info to record the last minlen
we use to trim the volume, so that if the caller provide a small
one, we will go on the trim regardless of the bb_state.

A simple test with my intel x25m ssd:
df -h shows:
/dev/sdb1              40G   21G   17G  56% /mnt/ext4
Block size:               4096

run the FITRIM with the following parameter:
range.start = 0;
range.len = UINT64_MAX;
range.minlen = 1048576;

without the patch:
[root@boyu-tm linux-2.6]# time ./ftrim /mnt/ext4/a

with the patch:

A big improvement for the 2nd and 3rd run.

Even after I delete some big image files, it is still much
faster than iterating the whole disk.

169ddc3ec8 ext4: speed up group trim with the right free block count
When we trim some free blocks in a group of ext4, we need to 
calculate the free blocks properly and check whether there are
enough freed blocks left for us to trim. Current solution will
only calculate free spaces if they are large for a trim which
isn't appropriate.

Let us see a small example:
a group has 1.5M free which are 300k, 300k, 300k, 300k, 300k.
And minblocks is 1M.  With current solution, we have to iterate
the whole group since these 300k will never be subtracted from
1.5M.  But actually we should exit after we find the first 2
free spaces since the left 3 chunks only sum up to 900K if we
subtract the first 600K although they can't be trimed.

22f1045743 ext4: fix trim length underflow with small trim length
In 0f0a25b, we adjust 'len' with s_first_data_block - start, but
it could underflow in case blocksize=1K, fstrim_range.len=512 and
fstrim_range.start = 0. In this case, when we run the code:
len -= first_data_blk - start; len will be underflow to -1ULL.
In the end, although we are safe that last_group check later will limit
the trim to the whole volume, but that isn't what the user really want.

So this patch fix it. It also adds the check for 'start' like ext3 so that
we can break immediately if the start is invalid.

7132de744b ext4: fix i_blocks/quota accounting when extent insertion fails
The current implementation of ext4_free_blocks() always calls
dquot_free_block This looks quite sensible in the most cases: blocks
to be freed are associated with inode and were accounted in quota and
i_blocks some time ago.

However, there is a case when blocks to free were not accounted by the
time calling ext4_free_blocks() yet:

1. delalloc is on, write_begin pre-allocated some space in quota
2. write-back happens, ext4 allocates some blocks in ext4_ext_map_blocks()
3. then ext4_ext_map_blocks() gets an error (e.g.  ENOSPC) from
   ext4_ext_insert_extent() and calls ext4_free_blocks().

In this scenario, ext4_free_blocks() calls dquot_free_block() who, in
turn, decrements i_blocks for blocks which were not accounted yet (due
to delalloc) After clean umount, e2fsck reports something like:

> Inode 21, i_blocks is 5080, should be 5128.  Fix<y>?
because i_blocks was erroneously decremented as explained above.

The patch fixes the problem by passing the new flag
EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_NO_QUOT_UPDATE to ext4_free_blocks(), to request
that the dquot_free_block() call be skipped.

function which enables the use of reserved blocks.  This will allow a

Because ext4_has_free_blocks is a low level function, the flag needs
to be passed down through several functions listed below:

ext4_ext_insert_extent
ext4_ext_create_new_leaf
ext4_ext_grow_indepth
ext4_ext_split
ext4_ext_new_meta_block

Currently we are loading buddy ext4_mb_load_buddy() for every block
group we are going through in ext4_trim_fs() in many cases just to find

suggested we can use bb_free information directly from ext4_group_info.

This commit removes ext4_mb_load_buddy() from ext4_trim_fs() and rather
get the ext4_group_info via ext4_get_group_info() and use the bb_free
information directly from that. This avoids unnecessary call to load
buddy in the case the group does not have enough free space to trim.
Loading buddy is now moved to ext4_trim_all_free().

After taking care of all group init races, all that remains is to
remove alloc_semp from ext4_allocation_context and ext4_buddy structs.

9b8b7d353f ext4: teach ext4_mb_init_cache() to skip uptodate buddy caches
After online resize which adds new groups, some of the groups
in a buddy page may be initialized and uptodate, while other
(new ones) may be uninitialized.

The indication for init of new block groups is when ext4_mb_init_cache()
is called with an uptodate buddy page. In this case, initialized groups
on that buddy page must be skipped when initializing the buddy cache.

2de8807b25 ext4: synchronize ext4_mb_init_group() with buddy page lock
The old routines ext4_mb_[get|put]_buddy_cache_lock(), which used
to take grp->alloc_sem for all groups on the buddy page have been
replaced with the routines ext4_mb_[get|put]_buddy_page_lock().

The new routines take both buddy and bitmap page locks to protect
against concurrent init of groups on the same buddy page.

The GROUP_NEED_INIT flag is tested again under page lock to check
if the group was initialized by another caller.

e73a347b77 ext4: implement ext4_add_groupblocks() by freeing blocks
The old imlementation used to take grp->alloc_sem and set the
GROUP_NEED_INIT flag, so that the buddy cache would be reloaded.

The new implementation updates the buddy cache by freeing the added
blocks and making them available for use, so there is no need to
reload the buddy cache and there is no need to take grp->alloc_sem.

2cd05cc393 ext4: remove unneeded ext4_journal_get_undo_access
The block allocation code used to use jbd2_journal_get_undo_access as
a way to make changes that wouldn't show up until the commit took
place.  The new multi-block allocation code has a its own way of
preventing newly freed blocks from getting reused until the commit
takes place (it avoids updating the buddy bitmaps until the commit is
done), so we don't need to use jbd2_journal_get_undo_access(), which
has extra overhead compared to jbd2_journal_get_write_access().

There was one last vestigal use of ext4_journal_get_undo_access() in
ext4_add_groupblocks(); change it to use ext4_journal_get_write_access()
and then remove the ext4_journal_get_undo_access() support.

is moved to mballoc.c, where it could use some static functions.

d9f34504e6 ext4: ignore errors when issuing discards
This is an effective revert of commit a30eec2a8: "ext4: stop issuing
discards if not supported by device".  The problem is that there are
some devices that may return errors in response to a discard request
some times but not others.  (One example would be a hybrid dm device
which concatenates an SSD and an HDD device).

By this logic, I also removed the error checking from ext4's FITRIM
code; so that an error from a discard will not stop the FITRIM from
trying to trim the rest of the file system.
