ext4_xattr_check_entry() was redundant with validation of the full xattr
entries list in ext4_xattr_check_entries(), which all callers also did.
ext4_xattr_check_entry() also didn't actually do correct validation;
specifically, it never checked that the value doesn't overlap the xattr
names, nor did it account for padding when checking whether the xattr
value overflows the available space. So remove it to eliminate any
potential confusion.

It was possible for an xattr value to have a very large size, which
would then pass validation on 32-bit architectures due to a pointer
wraparound. Fix this by validating the size in a way which avoids
pointer wraparound.
It was also possible that a value's size would fit in the available
space but its padded size would not. This would cause an out-of-bounds
memory write in ext4_xattr_set_entry when replacing the xattr value.
For example, if an xattr value of unpadded size 253 bytes went until the
very end of the inode or block, then using setxattr(2) to replace this
xattr's value with 256 bytes would cause a write to the 3 bytes past the
end of the inode or buffer, and the new xattr value would be incorrectly
truncated. Fix this by requiring that the padded size fit in the
available space rather than the unpadded size.

Conditions checking whether there is enough free space in an xattr block
and when xattr is large enough to make enough space in the inode forgot
to account for the fact that inode need not be completely filled up with
xattrs. Thus we could move unnecessarily many xattrs out of inode or
even falsely claim there is not enough space to expand the inode. We
also forgot to update the amount of free space in xattr block when moving
more xattrs and thus could decide to move too big xattr resulting in
unexpected failure.
Fix these problems by properly updating free space in the inode and
xattr block as we move xattrs. To simplify the math, avoid shifting
xattrs after removing each one xattr and instead just shift xattrs only
once there is enough free space in the inode.

Protect from recursion using EXT4_STATE_NO_EXPAND inode flag and move
its management into ext4_expand_extra_isize_ea() since its manipulation
is safe there (due to xattr_sem) from possible races with
ext4_xattr_set_handle() which plays with it as well.

The code in ext4_expand_extra_isize_ea() treated new_extra_isize
argument sometimes as the desired target i_extra_isize and sometimes as
the amount by which we need to grow current i_extra_isize. These happen
to coincide when i_extra_isize is 0 which used to be the common case and
so nobody noticed this until recently when we added i_projid to the
inode and so i_extra_isize now needs to grow from 28 to 32 bytes.
The result of these bugs was that we sometimes unnecessarily decided to
move xattrs out of inode even if there was enough space and we often
ended up corrupting in-inode xattrs because arguments to
ext4_xattr_shift_entries() were just wrong. This could demonstrate
itself as BUG_ON in ext4_xattr_shift_entries() triggering.
Fix the problem by introducing new isize_diff variable and use it where

To reduce amount of damage caused by single bad block, we limit number
of inodes sharing an xattr block to 1024. Thus there can be more xattr
blocks with the same contents when there are lots of files with the same
extended attributes. These xattr blocks naturally result in hash
collisions and can form long hash chains and we unnecessarily check each
such block only to find out we cannot use it because it is already
shared by too many inodes.
Add a reusable flag to cache entries which is cleared when a cache entry
has reached its maximum refcount. Cache entries which are not marked
reusable are skipped by mb_cache_entry_find_{first,next}. This
significantly speeds up mbcache when there are many same xattr blocks.
For example for xattr-bench with 5 values and each process handling
20000 files, the run for 64 processes is 25x faster with this patch.
Even for 8 processes the speedup is almost 3x. We have also verified
that for situations where there is only one xattr block of each kind,
the patch doesn't have a measurable cost.

The function ext4_expand_extra_isize_ea() doesn't need the size of all
of the extended attribute headers. So if we don't calculate it when
it is unneeded, it we can skip some undeeded memory references, and as
a bonus, we eliminate some kvetching by static code analysis tools.

If we take the 2nd retry path in ext4_expand_extra_isize_ea, we
potentionally return from the function without having freed these
allocations. If we don't do the return, we over-write the previous
allocation pointers, so we leak either way.
Spotted with Coverity.

Currently when new xattr block is created or released we we would call
dquot_free_block() or dquot_alloc_block() respectively, among the else
decrementing or incrementing the number of blocks assigned to the
inode by one block.
This however does not work for bigalloc file system because we always
allocate/free the whole cluster so we have to count with that in
dquot_free_block() and dquot_alloc_block() as well.
Use the clusters-to-blocks conversion EXT4_C2B() when passing number of
blocks to the dquot_alloc/free functions to fix the problem.

Operations which modify extended attributes may need extra journal
credits if inline data is used, since there is a chance that some
extended attributes may need to get pushed to an external attribute
block.
Changes to reflect this was made in xattr.c, but they were missed in
fs/ext4/acl.c. To fix this, abstract the calculation of the number of
credits needed for xattr operations to an inline function defined in
ext4_jbd2.h, and use it in acl.c and xattr.c.
Also move the function declarations used in inline.c from xattr.h
(where they are non-obviously hidden, and caused problems since
ext4_jbd2.h needs to use the function ext4_has_inline_data), and move
them to ext4.h.

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

In xattr block operation, we use h_refcount to indicate whether the
xattr block is shared among many inodes. And xattr block csum uses
s_csum_seed if it is shared and i_csum_seed if it belongs to
one inode. But this has a problem. So consider the block is shared
first bewteen inode A and B, and B has some xattr update and CoW
the xattr block. When it updates the *old* xattr block(because
of the h_refcount change) and calls ext4_xattr_release_block, we
has no idea that inode A is the real owner of the *old* xattr
block and we can't use the i_csum_seed of inode A either in xattr
block csum calculation. And I don't think we have an easy way to
find inode A.
So this patch just removes the tricky i_csum_seed and we now uses

Ceph users reported that when using Ceph on ext4, the filesystem
would often become corrupted, containing inodes with incorrect
i_blocks counters.
I managed to reproduce this with a very hacked-up "streamtest"
binary from the Ceph tree.
Ceph is doing a lot of xattr writes, to out-of-inode blocks.
There is also another thread which does sync_file_range and close,
of the same files. The problem appears to happen due to this race:
sync/flush thread xattr-set thread
----------------- ----------------
do_writepages ext4_xattr_set
ext4_da_writepages ext4_xattr_set_handle
mpage_da_map_blocks ext4_xattr_block_set
set DELALLOC_RESERVE
ext4_new_meta_blocks
ext4_mb_new_blocks
if (!i_delalloc_reserved_flag)
vfs_dq_alloc_block
ext4_get_blocks
down_write(i_data_sem)
set i_delalloc_reserved_flag
...
up_write(i_data_sem)
if (i_delalloc_reserved_flag)
vfs_dq_alloc_block_nofail
In other words, the sync/flush thread pops in and sets
i_delalloc_reserved_flag on the inode, which makes the xattr thread
think that it's in a delalloc path in ext4_new_meta_blocks(),
and add the block for a second time, after already having added
it once in the !i_delalloc_reserved_flag case in ext4_mb_new_blocks
The real problem is that we shouldn't be using the DELALLOC_RESERVED
state flag, and instead we should be passing
EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_DELALLOC_RESERVE down to ext4_map_blocks() instead of
using an inode state flag. We'll fix this for now with using
i_data_sem to prevent this race, but this is really not the right way
to fix things.

We don't need to set s_dirt in most of the ext4 code when journaling
is enabled. In ext3/4 some of the summary statistics for # of free
inodes, blocks, and directories are calculated from the per-block
group statistics when the file system is mounted or unmounted. As a
result the superblock doesn't have to be updated, either via the
journal or by setting s_dirt. There are a few exceptions, most
notably when resizing the file system, where the superblock needs to
be modified --- and in that case it should be done as a journalled
operation if possible, and s_dirt set only in no-journal mode.
This patch will optimize out some unneeded disk writes when using ext4

b_entry_name and buffer are initially NULL, are initialized within a loop
to the result of calling kmalloc, and are freed at the bottom of this loop.
The loop contains gotos to cleanup, which also frees b_entry_name and
buffer. Some of these gotos are before the reinitializations of
b_entry_name and buffer. To maintain the invariant that b_entry_name and
buffer are NULL at the top of the loop, and thus acceptable arguments to
kfree, these variables are now set to NULL after the kfrees.
This seems to be the simplest solution. A more complicated solution
would be to introduce more labels in the error handling code at the end of
the function.

* ext4_xattr_block_set() is modified such that the goal block

* ext4_mb_use_preallocated() has a check that we don't use

* ext4_alloc_blocks() and ext4_xattr_block_set() add some BUG_ONs
No attempt has been made to limit inode locations to < 2^32,
so we may wind up with blocks far from their inodes. Doing
this much already will lead to some odd ENOSPC issues when the
"lower 32" gets full, and further restricting inodes could
make that even weirder.
For high inodes, choosing a goal of the original, % UINT_MAX,
may be a bit odd, but then we're in an odd situation anyway,
and I don't know of a better heuristic.

A few weeks ago I posted a patch for discussion that allowed ext4 to run

comments from Andreas and fixed several serious bugs. We're currently
running with this patch and generating some performance numbers against
both ext2 (with backported reservations code) and ext4 with and without
a journal. It just so happens that running without a journal is
slightly faster for most everything.
We did
iozone -T -t 4 s 2g -r 256k -T -I -i0 -i1 -i2
which creates 4 threads, each of which create and do reads and writes on
a 2G file, with a buffer size of 256K, using O_DIRECT for all file opens
to bypass the page cache. Results:
ext2 ext4, default ext4, no journal
initial writes 13.0 MB/s 15.4 MB/s 15.7 MB/s
rewrites 13.1 MB/s 15.6 MB/s 15.9 MB/s
reads 15.2 MB/s 16.9 MB/s 17.2 MB/s

ext4_xattr_set_handle() eventually ends up calling
ext4_mark_inode_dirty() which tries to expand the inode by shifting
the EAs. This leads to the xattr_sem being downed again and leading
to a deadlock.
This patch makes sure that if ext4_xattr_set_handle() is in the
call-chain, ext4_mark_inode_dirty() will not expand the inode.

When mballoc is enabled, block allocation for old block-based
files are allocated using mballoc allocator instead of old
block-based allocator. The old ext3 block reservation is turned
off when mballoc is turned on.
However, the in-core preallocation is not enabled for block-based/
non-extent based file block allocation. This result in performance
regression, as now we don't have "reservation" ore in-core preallocation
to prevent interleaved fragmentation in multiple writes workload.
This patch fix this by enable per inode in-core preallocation
for non extent files when mballoc is used.
