As part of startup, the MMP initialization code does this:
mmp->mmp_seq = seq = cpu_to_le32(mmp_new_seq());
Next, mmp->mmp_seq is written out to disk, a delay happens, and then
the MMP block is read back in and the sequence value is tested:
if (seq != le32_to_cpu(mmp->mmp_seq)) {
/* fail the mount */
On a LE system such as x86, the *le32* functions do nothing and this
works. Unfortunately, on a BE system such as ppc64, this comparison
becomes:
if (cpu_to_le32(new_seq) != le32_to_cpu(cpu_to_le32(new_seq)) {
/* fail the mount */
Except for a few palindromic sequence numbers, this test always causes
the mount to fail, which makes MMP filesystems generally unmountable
on ppc64. The attached patch fixes this situation.

Currently, there exists a race between delayed allocated writes and
the writeback when bigalloc feature is in use. The race was because we
wanted to determine what blocks in a cluster are under delayed
allocation and we were using buffer_delayed(bh) check for it. But, the
writeback codepath clears this bit without any synchronization which
resulted in a race and an ext4 warning similar to:
EXT4-fs (ram1): ext4_da_update_reserve_space: ino 13, used 1 with only 0
reserved data blocks
The race existed in two places.
(1) between ext4_find_delalloc_range() and ext4_map_blocks() when called from
writeback code path.
(2) between ext4_find_delalloc_range() and ext4_da_get_block_prep() (where
buffer_delayed(bh) is set.
To fix (1), this patch introduces a new buffer_head state bit -
BH_Da_Mapped. This bit is set under the protection of
EXT4_I(inode)->i_data_sem when we have actually mapped the delayed
allocated blocks during the writeout time. We can now reliably check
for this bit inside ext4_find_delalloc_range() to determine whether
the reservation for the blocks have already been claimed or not.
To fix (2), it was necessary to set buffer_delay(bh) under the
protection of i_data_sem. So, I extracted the very beginning of
ext4_map_blocks into a new function - ext4_da_map_blocks() - and
performed the required setting of bh_delay bit and the quota
reservation under the protection of i_data_sem. These two fixes makes
the checking of buffer_delay(bh) and buffer_da_mapped(bh) consistent,
thus removing the race.
Tested: I was able to reproduce the problem by running 'dd' and
'fsync' in parallel. Also, xfstests sometimes used to reproduce this
race. After the fix both my test and xfstests were successful and no
race (warning message) was observed.

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.

In delayed allocation mode, it's important to only call
ext4_jbd2_file_inode when the file has been extended. This is
necessary to avoid a race which first got introduced in commit
678aaf481, but which was made much more common with the introduction
of the "punch hole" functionality. (Especially when dioread_nolock
was enabled; when I could reliably reproduce this problem with
xfstests #74.)
The race is this: If while trying to writeback a delayed allocation
inode, there is a need to map delalloc blocks, and we run out of space
in the journal, *and* at the same time the inode is already on the
committing transaction's t_inode_list (because for example while doing
the punch hole operation, ext4_jbd2_file_inode() is called), then the
commit operation will wait for the inode to finish all of its pending
writebacks by calling filemap_fdatawait(), but since that inode has
one or more pages with the PageWriteback flag set, the commit
operation will wait forever, and the so the writeback of the inode can
never take place, and the kjournald thread and the writeback thread
end up waiting for each other --- forever.
It's important at this point to recall why an inode is placed on the
t_inode_list; it is to provide the data=ordered guarantees that we
don't end up exposing stale data. In the case where we are truncating
or punching a hole in the inode, there is no possibility that stale
data could be exposed in the first place, so we don't need to put the
inode on the t_inode_list!
The right long-term fix is to get rid of data=ordered mode altogether,
and only update the extent tree or indirect blocks after the data has
been written. Until then, this change will also avoid some
unnecessary waiting in the commit operation.

If the user explicitly specifies conflicting mount options for

Also, print a single warning that data=journal implies that delayed

furthermore that O_DIRECT is not supported. Improve the text in

This patch fixes a second punch hole bug found by xfstests 127.
This bug happens because punch hole needs to flush the pages
of the hole to avoid race conditions. But if the end of the
hole is in the same page as i_size, the buffer heads beyond
i_size need to be unmapped and the page needs to be zeroed
after it is flushed.
To correct this, the new ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers
routine is used to zero and unmap the partial page
beyond i_size if the end of the hole appears in the same
page as i_size.
The code has also been optimized to set the end of the hole
to the page after i_size if the specified hole exceeds i_size,
and the code that flushes the pages has been simplified.

This patch addresses a bug found by xfstests 75, 112, 127
when blocksize = 1k
This bug happens because the punch hole code only zeros
out non block aligned regions of the page. This means that if the
blocks are smaller than a page, then the block aligned regions of
the page inside the hole are left un-zeroed, and their buffer heads
are still mapped. This bug is corrected by using
ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers to properly zero the partial page
at the head and tail of the hole, and unmap the corresponding buffer
heads
This patch also addresses a bug reported by Lukas while working on a
new patch to add discard support for loop devices using punch hole.
The bug happened because of the first and last block number
needed to be cast to a larger data type before calculating the
byte offset, but since now we only need the byte offsets of the
pages, we no longer even need to be calculating the byte offsets
of the blocks. The code to do the block offset calculations is
removed in this patch.

This patch adds two new routines: ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers
and ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock.
The ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers routine is a wrapper
function to ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock.
The wrapper function locks the page and passes it to
ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock.
Calling functions that already have the page locked can call
ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock directly.
The ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers_no_lock function
zeros a specified range in a page, and unmaps the
corresponding buffer heads. Only block aligned regions of the
page will have their buffer heads unmapped. Unblock aligned regions
will be mapped if needed so that they can be updated with the
partial zero out. This function is meant to
be used to update a page and its buffer heads to be zeroed
and unmapped when the corresponding blocks have been released
or will be released.
This routine is used in the following scenarios:
* A hole is punched and the non page aligned regions
of the head and tail of the hole need to be discarded
* The file is truncated and the partial page beyond EOF needs
to be discarded
* The end of a hole is in the same page as EOF. After the
page is flushed, the partial page beyond EOF needs to be
discarded.
* A write operation begins or ends inside a hole and the partial
page appearing before or after the write needs to be discarded
* A write operation extends EOF and the partial page beyond EOF
needs to be discarded
This function takes a flag EXT4_DISCARD_PARTIAL_PG_ZERO_UNMAPPED
which is used when a write operation begins or ends in a hole.
When the EXT4_DISCARD_PARTIAL_PG_ZERO_UNMAPPED flag is used, only
buffer heads that are already unmapped will have the corresponding
regions of the page zeroed.
