8aefcd557d ext4: dynamically allocate the jbd2_inode in ext4_inode_info as necessary
Replace the jbd2_inode structure (which is 48 bytes) with a pointer
and only allocate the jbd2_inode when it is needed --- that is, when
the file system has a journal present and the inode has been opened
for writing.  This allows us to further slim down the ext4_inode_info
structure.

353eb83c14 ext4: drop i_state_flags on architectures with 64-bit longs
We can store the dynamic inode state flags in the high bits of
EXT4_I(inode)->i_flags, and eliminate i_state_flags.  This saves 8
bytes from the size of ext4_inode_info structure, which when
multiplied by the number of the number of in the inode cache, can save
a lot of memory.

b05e6ae58a ext4: drop ec_type from the ext4_ext_cache structure
We can encode the ec_type information by using ee_len == 0 to denote
EXT4_EXT_CACHE_NO, ee_start == 0 to denote EXT4_EXT_CACHE_GAP, and if
neither is true, then the cache type must be EXT4_EXT_CACHE_EXTENT.
This allows us to reduce the size of ext4_ext_inode by another 8
bytes.  (ec_type is 4 bytes, plus another 4 bytes of padding)

01f49d0b9d ext4: use ext4_lblk_t instead of sector_t for logical blocks
This fixes a number of places where we used sector_t instead of
ext4_lblk_t for logical blocks, which for ext4 are still 32-bit data
types.  No point wasting space in the ext4_inode_info structure, and
requiring 64-bit arithmetic on 32-bit systems, when it isn't
necessary.

f232109773 ext4: replace i_delalloc_reserved_flag with EXT4_STATE_DELALLOC_RESERVED
Remove the short element i_delalloc_reserved_flag from the
ext4_inode_info structure and replace it a new bit in i_state_flags.
Since we have an ext4_inode_info for every ext4 inode cached in the
inode cache, any savings we can produce here is a very good thing from
a memory utilization perspective.

ad4fb9cafe ext4: fix 32bit overflow in ext4_ext_find_goal()
ext4_ext_find_goal() returns an ideal physical block number that the block
allocator tries to allocate first. However, if a required file offset is
smaller than the existing extent's one, ext4_ext_find_goal() returns
a wrong block number because it may overflow at
"block - le32_to_cpu(ex->ee_block)". This patch fixes the problem.

ext4_ext_find_goal() will also return a wrong block number in case
a file offset of the existing extent is too big. In this case,
the ideal physical block number is fixed in ext4_mb_initialize_context(),
so it's no problem.

reproduce:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/tmp bs=127M count=1 oflag=sync
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/file bs=512K count=1 seek=1 oflag=sync
# filefrag -v /mnt/mp1/file

9325963667 ext4: remove warning message from ext4_issue_discard helper
ext4_issue_discard is supposed to be helper for calling discard, however
in case that underlying device does not support discard it prints out
the warning message and clears the DISCARD t_mount_opt flag. Since it
can be (and is) used by others, it should not do anything and let the
caller to handle the error case.

This commit removes warning message and flag setting from
ext4_issue_discard and use it just in place where it is really needed
(release_blocks_on_commit). FITRIM ioctl should not set any flags nor it
should print out warning messages, so get rid of the warning as well.

1449032be1 ext4: Turn off multiple page-io submission by default
Jon Nelson has found a test case which causes postgresql to fail with
the error:

psql:t.sql:4: ERROR: invalid page header in block 38269 of relation base/16384/16581

Under memory pressure, it looks like part of a file can end up getting
replaced by zero's.  Until we can figure out the cause, we'll roll
back the change and use block_write_full_page() instead of
ext4_bio_write_page().  The new, more efficient writing function can
be used via the mount option mblk_io_submit, so we can test and fix
the new page I/O code.

To reproduce the problem, install postgres 8.4 or 9.0, and pin enough
memory such that the system just at the end of triggering writeback
before running the following sql script:

begin;
create temporary table foo as select x as a, ARRAY[x] as b FROM
generate_series(1, 10000000 ) AS x;
create index foo_a_idx on foo (a);
create index foo_b_idx on foo USING GIN (b);
rollback;

If the temporary table is created on a hard drive partition which is
encrypted using dm_crypt, then under memory pressure, approximately
30-40% of the time, pgsql will issue the above failure.

This patch should fix this problem, and the problem will come back if
the file system is mounted with the mblk_io_submit mount option.

e681c047e4 ext4: Add EXT4_IOC_TRIM ioctl to handle batched discard
Filesystem independent ioctl was rejected as not common enough to be in
core vfs ioctl. Since we still need to access to this functionality this
commit adds ext4 specific ioctl EXT4_IOC_TRIM to dispatch
ext4_trim_fs().

It takes fstrim_range structure as an argument. fstrim_range is definec in
the include/linux/fs.h and its definition is as follows.

struct fstrim_range {
	__u64 start;
	__u64 len;
	__u64 minlen;
}

start	- first Byte to trim
len	- number of Bytes to trim from start
minlen	- minimum extent length to trim, free extents shorter than this
  number of Bytes will be ignored. This will be rounded up to fs
  block size.

After the FITRIM is done, the number of actually discarded Bytes is stored
in fstrim_range.len to give the user better insight on how much storage
space has been really released for wear-leveling.

5a9ae68a34 ext4: ext4_fill_super shouldn't return 0 on corruption
At the start of ext4_fill_super, ret is set to -EINVAL, and any failure path
out of that function returns ret.  However, the generic_check_addressable
clause sets ret = 0 (if it passes), which means that a subsequent failure (e.g.
a group checksum error) returns 0 even though the mount should fail.  This
causes vfs_kern_mount in turn to think that the mount succeeded, leading to an
oops.

A simple fix is to avoid using ret for the generic_check_addressable check,
which was last changed in commit 30ca22c70e.

b56ff9d397 ext4: Don't call sb_issue_discard() in ext4_free_blocks()
Commit 5c521830cf (ext4: Support discard requests when running in
no-journal mode) attempts to add sb_issue_discard() for data blocks
(in data=writeback mode) and in no-journal mode.  Unfortunately, this
no longer works, because in commit dd3932eddf (block: remove
BLKDEV_IFL_WAIT), sb_issue_discard() only presents a synchronous
interface, and there are times when we call ext4_free_blocks() when we
are are holding a spinlock, or are otherwise in an atomic context.

For now, I've removed the call to sb_issue_discard() to prevent a
deadlock or (if spinlock debugging is enabled) failures like this:

f7ad6d2e92 ext4: handle writeback of inodes which are being freed
The following BUG can occur when an inode which is getting freed when
it still has dirty pages outstanding, and it gets deleted (in this
because it was the target of a rename).  In ordered mode, we need to
make sure the data pages are written just in case we crash before the
rename (or unlink) is committed.  If the inode is being freed then
when we try to igrab the inode, we end up tripping the BUG_ON at
fs/ext4/page-io.c:146.

To solve this problem, we need to keep track of the number of io
callbacks which are pending, and avoid destroying the inode until they
have all been completed.  That way we don't have to bump the inode
count to keep the inode from being destroyed; an approach which
doesn't work because the count could have already been dropped down to
zero before the inode writeback has started (at which point we're not
allowed to bump the count back up to 1, since it's already started
getting freed).

Thanks to Dave Chinner for suggesting this approach, which is also
used by XFS.

ce7e010aef ext4: initialize the percpu counters before replaying the journal
We now initialize the percpu counters before replaying the journal,
but after the journal, we recalculate the global counters, to deal
with the possibility of the per-blockgroup counts getting updated by

   fs/ext4/super.c: In function 'ext4_lazyinit_thread':
   fs/ext4/super.c:2702: warning: 'ret' may be used uninitialized in this function

Fix it by removing the need for the ret variable in the first place.

eb8abb927a ext4: Remove useless spinlock in ext4_getattr()
Linus noted, and complained to me, that doing while lots of "git diff"'s
of kernel sources, these spinlocks were responsible for 27% of the
spinlock cost on his two-processor system as reported by perf.

Git was doing lots of parallel stats, and this was putting a lot of
pressure on ext4_getattr().  A spinlock to protect a single
memory-to-memory copy is pointless, so remove it.

We need to make check if a page does not have buffes by checking
page_has_buffers(page) before calling page_buffers(page) in
ext4_writepage().  Otherwise page_buffers() could throw a BUG_ON.
