Push down lock_super into ->write_super instances and remove it from the
caller.
Following filesystem don't need ->s_lock in ->write_super and are skipped:
* bfs, nilfs2 - no other uses of s_lock and have internal locks in
->write_super
* ext2 - uses BKL in ext2_write_super and has internal calls without s_lock
* reiserfs - no other uses of s_lock as has reiserfs_write_lock (BKL) in
->write_super
* xfs - no other uses of s_lock and uses internal lock (buffer lock on
superblock buffer) to serialize ->write_super. Also xfs_fs_write_super

Note that since we can't run into contention between remount_fs and write_super
(due to exclusion on s_umount), we have to care only about filesystems that
touch lock_super() on their own. Out of those ext3, ext4, hpfs, sysv and ufs
do need it; fat doesn't since its ->remount_fs() only accesses assign-once
data (basically, it's "we have no atime on directories and only have atime on
files for vfat; force nodiratime and possibly noatime into *flags").

Move BKL into ->put_super from the only caller. A couple of
filesystems had trivial enough ->put_super (only kfree and NULLing of
s_fs_info + stuff in there) to not get any locking: coda, cramfs, efs,
hugetlbfs, omfs, qnx4, shmem, all others got the full treatment. Most
of them probably don't need it, but I'd rather sort that out individually.
Preferably after all the other BKL pushdowns in that area.
[AV: original used to move lock_super() down as well; these changes are
removed since we don't do lock_super() at all in generic_shutdown_super()

We can't run into contention on it. All other callers of lock_super()
either hold s_umount (and we have it exclusive) or hold an active
reference to superblock in question, which prevents the call of
generic_shutdown_super() while the reference is held. So we can
replace lock_super(s) with get_fs_excl() in generic_shutdown_super()
(and corresponding change for unlock_super(), of course).
Since ext4 expects s_lock held for its put_super, take lock_super()
into it. The rest of filesystems do not care at all.

We just did a full fs writeout using sync_filesystem before, and if
that's not enough for the filesystem it can perform it's own writeout
in ->put_super, which many filesystems already do.
Move a call to foofs_write_super into every foofs_put_super for now to
guarantee identical behaviour until it's cleaned up by the individual
filesystem maintainers.
Exceptions:
- affs already has identical copy & pasted code at the beginning of
affs_put_super so no need to do it twice.
- xfs does the right thing without it and I have changes pending for
the xfs tree touching this are so I don't really need conflicts
here..

Until now we have had a 1:1 mapping between storage device physical
block size and the logical block sized used when addressing the device.
With SATA 4KB drives coming out that will no longer be the case. The

512-bytes. Hence we need to distinguish between the physical block size
and the logical ditto.

To catch filesystem bugs or corruption which could lead to the
filesystem getting severly damaged, this patch adds a facility for
tracking all of the filesystem metadata blocks by contiguous regions
in a red-black tree. This allows quick searching of the tree to
locate extents which might overlap with filesystem metadata blocks.
This facility is also used by the multi-block allocator to assure that
it is not allocating blocks out of the system zone, as well as by the
routines used when reading indirect blocks and extents information
from disk to make sure their contents are valid.

The function ext4_mark_recovery_complete() is called from two call
paths: either (a) while mounting the filesystem, in which case there's
no danger of any other CPU calling write_super() until the mount is
completed, and (b) while remounting the filesystem read-write, in
which case the fs core has already locked the superblock. This also
allows us to take out a very vile unlock_super()/lock_super() pair in
ext4_remount().

Ext4's on-line resizing adds a new block group and then, only at the
last step adjusts s_groups_count. However, it's possible on SMP
systems that another CPU could see the updated the s_group_count and
not see the newly initialized data structures for the just-added block
group. For this reason, it's important to insert a SMP read barrier
after reading s_groups_count and before reading any (for example) the
new block group descriptors allowed by the increased value of
s_groups_count.
Unfortunately, we rather blatently violate this locking protocol
documented in fs/ext4/resize.c. Fortunately, (1) on-line resizes
happen relatively rarely, and (2) it seems rare that the filesystem
code will immediately try to use just-added block group before any
memory ordering issues resolve themselves. So apparently problems
here are relatively hard to hit, since ext3 has been vulnerable to the
same issue for years with no one apparently complaining.

By using a separate super_operations structure for filesystems that
have and don't have journals, we can simply ext4_write_super() ---

The s_dirt flag wasn't completely handled correctly, but it didn't
really matter when journalling was enabled. It turns out that when
ext4 runs without a journal, we don't clear s_dirt in places where we
should have, with the result that the high-level write_super()
function was writing the superblock when it wasn't necessary.
So we fix this by making ext4_commit_super() clear the s_dirt flag,
and removing many of the other places where s_dirt is manipulated.
When journalling is enabled, the s_dirt flag might be left set more
often, but s_dirt really doesn't matter when journalling is enabled.

For very large filesystems, the s_flex_groups array can get quite big.
For example, a filesystem that can be resized up to 16TB will have
8192 flex groups (assuming the default flex_bg size of 16), so the
array is 96k, which is *very* marginal for kmalloc(). On the other
hand, a 160GB filesystem without the resize_inode feature will only
require 960 bytes. So we try to allocate the array first using
kmalloc(), and if that fails, we'll try to use vmalloc() instead.

Add a mount option which allows the user to disable automatic

As spotted by kmemtrace, struct ext4_sb_info is 17664 bytes on 64-bit
which makes it a very bad fit for SLAB allocators. The culprit of the
wasted memory is ->s_blockgroup_lock which can be as big as 16 KB when
NR_CPUS >= 32.
To fix that, allocate ->s_blockgroup_lock, which fits nicely in a order 2
page in the worst case, separately. This shinks down struct ext4_sb_info
enough to fit a 2 KB slab cache so now we allocate 16 KB + 2 KB instead of
32 KB saving 14 KB of memory.

Since jbd2_journal_start_commit() is now fixed to return 1 when we

ext4_force_commit() can unnecessarily create sync transaction which is

Currently, ext3 in mainline Linux doesn't have the freeze feature which
suspends write requests. So, we cannot take a backup which keeps the
filesystem's consistency with the storage device's features (snapshot and
replication) while it is mounted.
In many case, a commercial filesystem (e.g. VxFS) has the freeze feature
and it would be used to get the consistent backup.
If Linux's standard filesystem ext3 has the freeze feature, we can do it
without a commercial filesystem.
So I have implemented the ioctls of the freeze feature.
I think we can take the consistent backup with the following steps.
1. Freeze the filesystem with the freeze ioctl.
2. Separate the replication volume or create the snapshot
with the storage device's feature.
3. Unfreeze the filesystem with the unfreeze ioctl.
4. Take the backup from the separated replication volume
or the snapshot.
This patch:
VFS:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they can return an error.
Rename write_super_lockfs and unlockfs of the super block operation
freeze_fs and unfreeze_fs to avoid a confusion.
ext3, ext4, xfs, gfs2, jfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that write_super_lockfs returns an error if needed,
and unlockfs always returns 0.
reiserfs:
Changed the type of write_super_lockfs and unlockfs from "void"
to "int" so that they always return 0 (success) to keep a current behavior.

This mount option is largely superfluous, and in fact the way it was
implemented was buggy; if a filesystem which did not have the extents
feature flag was mounted -o extents, the filesystem would attempt to
create and use extents-based file even though the extents feature flag
was not eabled. The simplest thing to do is to nuke the mount option
entirely. It's not all that useful to force the non-creation of new
extent-based files if the filesystem can support it.
