If EXT4_EXTENTS_FL is set on an inode while ext4_writepages() is running
on it, the following warning in ext4_add_complete_io() can be hit:
WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 0 at fs/ext4/page-io.c:234 ext4_put_io_end_defer+0xf0/0x120
Here's a minimal reproducer (not 100% reliable) (root isn't required):
while true; do
sync
done &
while true; do
rm -f file
touch file
chattr -e file
echo X >> file
chattr +e file
done
The problem is that in ext4_writepages(), ext4_should_dioread_nolock()
(which only returns true on extent-based files) is checked once to set
the number of reserved journal credits, and also again later to select
the flags for ext4_map_blocks() and copy the reserved journal handle to
ext4_io_end::handle. But if EXT4_EXTENTS_FL is being concurrently set,
the first check can see dioread_nolock disabled while the later one can
see it enabled, causing the reserved handle to unexpectedly be NULL.
Since changing EXT4_EXTENTS_FL is uncommon, and there may be other races
related to doing so as well, fix this by synchronizing changing
EXT4_EXTENTS_FL with ext4_writepages() via the existing
s_writepages_rwsem (previously called s_journal_flag_rwsem).
This was originally reported by syzbot without a reproducer at
https://syzkaller.appspot.com/bug?extid=2202a584a00fffd19fbf,
but now that dioread_nolock is the default I also started seeing this
when running syzkaller locally.

So far we have reserved only relatively high fixed amount of revoke
credits for each transaction. We over-reserved by large amount for most
cases but when freeing large directories or files with data journalling,
the fixed amount is not enough. In fact the worst case estimate is
inconveniently large (maximum extent size) for freeing of one extent.
We fix this by doing proper estimate of the amount of blocks that need
to be revoked when removing blocks from the inode due to truncate or
hole punching and otherwise reserve just a small amount of revoke
credits for each transaction to accommodate freeing of xattrs block or
so.

Today, when sb_bread() returns NULL, this can either be because of an

it's an old interface, changing would require changing many call

So instead we create our own ext4_sb_bread(), which also allows us to

A number of ext4 source files were skipped due because their copyright
permission statements didn't match the expected text used by the
automated conversion utilities. I've added SPDX tags for the rest.
While looking at some of these files, I've noticed that we have quite
a bit of variation on the licenses that were used --- in particular
some of the Red Hat licenses on the jbd2 files use a GPL2+ license,
and we have some files that have a LGPL-2.1 license (which was quite
surprising).
I've not attempted to do any license changes. Even if it is perfectly
legal to relicense to GPL 2.0-only for consistency's sake, that should

Currently the check in ext4_ind_migrate() is not enough before doing the
real conversion:
a) delayed allocated extents could bypass the check on eh->eh_entries
and eh->eh_depth
This can be demonstrated by this script
xfs_io -fc "pwrite 0 4k" -c "pwrite 8k 4k" /mnt/ext4/testfile
chattr -e /mnt/ext4/testfile
where testfile has two extents but still be converted to non-extent
based file format.
b) only extent length is checked but not the offset, which would result
in data lose (delalloc) or fs corruption (nodelalloc), because
non-extent based file only supports at most (12 + 2^10 + 2^20 + 2^30)
blocks
This can be demostrated by
xfs_io -fc "pwrite 5T 4k" /mnt/ext4/testfile

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

Previously, ext4_extents.h was being included at the end of ext4.h,
which was bad for a number of reasons: (a) it was not being included
in the expected place, and (b) it caused the header to be included
multiple times. There were #ifdef's to prevent this from causing any
problems, but it still was unnecessary.
By moving the function declarations that were in ext4_extents.h to
ext4.h, which is standard practice for where the function declarations
for the rest of ext4.h can be found, we can remove ext4_extents.h from
being included in ext4.h at all, and then we can only include
ext4_extents.h where it is needed in ext4's source files.
It should be possible to move a few more things into ext4.h, and
further reduce the number of source files that need to #include
ext4_extents.h, but that's a cleanup for another day.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Also fix a bug in the extents migration code; it wasn't calling

conversion. As a result, if the system cashed during or shortly after
the extents migration, and the released indirect blocks get reused as

Enhance the inode allocator to take a goal inode number as a
paremeter; if it is specified, it takes precedence over Orlov or
parent directory inode allocation algorithms.
The extents migration function uses the goal inode number so that the
extent trees allocated the migration function use the correct flex_bg.
In the future, the goal inode functionality will also be used to
allocate an adjacent inode for the extended attributes.
Also, for testing purposes the goal inode number can be specified via
/sys/fs/{dev}/inode_goal. This can be useful for testing inode
