abda141892 ext4: Make printk's consistently prefixed with "EXT4-fs: "
Previously, some were "ext4: ", and some were "EXT4: "; change them to
be consistent with most ext4 printk's, which is to use "EXT4-fs: ".

c39a7f84d7 ext4: provide function to release metadata pages under memory pressure
Pages in the page cache belonging to ext4 data files are released via
the ext4_releasepage() function specified in the ext4 inode's
address_space_ops.  However, metadata blocks (such as indirect blocks,
directory blocks, etc) are managed via the block device
address_space_ops, and they can not be released by
try_to_free_buffers() if they have a journal head attached to them.

To address this, we supply a release_metadata function which calls
jbd2_journal_try_to_free_buffers() function to free the metadata, and
which is called by the block device's blkdev_releasepage() function.

implies we cannot depend on the uptodate flag on the bitmap

393418676a ext4: Fix the race between read_inode_bitmap() and ext4_new_inode()
We need to make sure we update the inode bitmap and clear
EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT flag with sb_bgl_lock held, since
ext4_read_inode_bitmap() looks at EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT to decide
whether to initialize the inode bitmap each time it is called.
(introduced by commit c806e68f.)

ext4_read_inode_bitmap does:

spin_lock(sb_bgl_lock(EXT4_SB(sb), block_group));
if (desc->bg_flags & cpu_to_le16(EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT)) {
	ext4_init_inode_bitmap(sb, bh, block_group, desc);

and ext4_new_inode does
if (!ext4_set_bit_atomic(sb_bgl_lock(sbi, group),
                   ino, inode_bitmap_bh->b_data))
		   ......
		   ...
spin_lock(sb_bgl_lock(sbi, group));

gdp->bg_flags &= cpu_to_le16(~EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT);
i.e., on allocation we update the bitmap then we take the sb_bgl_lock
and clear the EXT4_BG_INODE_UNINIT flag. What can happen is a
parallel ext4_read_inode_bitmap can zero out the bitmap in between
the above ext4_set_bit_atomic and spin_lock(sb_bg_lock..)

The race results in below user visible errors

Now on the block allocation side we do

b7be019e80 ext4: Fix lockdep recursive locking warning
In ext4_mb_init_group(), if the filesystem block size is less than
PAGE_SIZE/2, the code tries to grab alloc_sem for multiple block
groups in a loop.  We need to allow for this by using
down_write_nested() and passing in the loop index as a lock subclass
number.  This works because no other code path needs to take multiple
alloc_sem's.  Note that lockdep will fail for filesystem blocksize
smaller than to PAGE_SIZE/16k.  (e.g., a 1k filesystem blocksize with
a 32k page size, or a 2k filesystem blocksize with a 64k blocksize,
etc.)

e07f7183a4 jbd2: improve jbd2 fsync batching
This patch removes the static sleep time in favor of a more self
optimizing approach where we measure the average amount of time it
takes to commit a transaction to disk and the ammount of time a
transaction has been running.  If somebody does a sync write or an
fsync() traditionally we would sleep for 1 jiffies, which depending on
the value of HZ could be a significant amount of time compared to how
long it takes to commit a transaction to the underlying storage.  With
this patch instead of sleeping for a jiffie, we check to see if the
amount of time this transaction has been running is less than the
average commit time, and if it is we sleep for the delta using
schedule_hrtimeout to give us a higher precision sleep time.  This
greatly benefits high end storage where you could end up sleeping for
longer than it takes to commit the transaction and therefore sitting
idle instead of allowing the transaction to be committed by keeping
the sleep time to a minimum so you are sure to always be doing
something.

0390131ba8 ext4: Allow ext4 to run without a journal
A few weeks ago I posted a patch for discussion that allowed ext4 to run
without a journal.  Since that time I've integrated the excellent
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
  re-reads         15.3 MB/s        16.9 MB/s          17.2 MB/s

So it seems that, so far, this was a useful exercise.

ff7ef329b2 ext4: Widen type of ext4_sb_info.s_mb_maxs[]
I chased the cause of following ext4 oops report which is tested on
ia64 box.

http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12018

The cause is the size of s_mb_maxs array that is defined as "unsigned
short" in ext4_sb_info structure.  If the file system's block size is
8k or greater, an unsigned short is not wide enough to contain the
value fs->blocksize << 3.

93c0d86371 ext4: When resizing set the EXT4_BG_INODE_ZEROED flag for new block groups
The inode table has been zeroed in setup_new_group_blocks().  Mark it as
such in ext4_group_add().  Since we are currently clearing inode table
for the new block group, we should set the EXT4_BG_INODE_ZEROED flag.
If at some point in the future we don't immediately zero out the inode
table as part of the resize operation, then obviously we shouldn't do
this.

171bbfbeab jbd2: Add BH_JBDPrivateStart
Add this so that file systems using JBD2 can safely allocate unused b_state
bits.

In this case, we add it so that Ocfs2 can define a single bit for tracking
the validation state of a buffer.

791b7f0895 ext4: Fix the delalloc writepages to allocate blocks at the right offset.
When iterating through the pages which have mapped buffer_heads, we
failed to update the b_state value. This results in allocating blocks
at logical offset 0.

2a21e37e48 ext4: tone down ext4_da_writepages warnings
If the filesystem has errors, ext4_da_writepages() will return a *lot*
of errors, including lots and lots of stack dumps.  While it's true
that we are dropping user data on the floor, which is unfortunate, the
stack dumps aren't helpful, and they tend to obscure the true original
root cause of the problem.  So in the case where the filesystem has
aborted, return an EROFS right away.

97df5d155d ext4: remove do_blk_alloc()
The convenience function do_blk_alloc() is a static function with only
one caller, so fold it into ext4_new_meta_blocks() to simplify the
code and to make it easier to understand.

To save more stack space, if count is a null pointer in
ext4_new_meta_blocks() assume that caller wanted a single block (and
if there is an error, no blocks were allocated).

There was only one caller of the compatibility function
ext4_new_blocks(), in balloc.c's ext4_alloc_blocks().  Change it to
call ext4_mb_new_blocks() directly, and remove ext4_new_blocks()
altogether.  This cleans up the code, by removing two extra functions
from the call chain, and hopefully saving some stack usage.
