Non-full list of bugs:
1) uninitialized extent optimization does not hold page's lock,
and simply replace brunches after that writeback code goes
crazy because block mapping changed under it's feets
kernel BUG at fs/ext4/inode.c:1434! ( 288'th xfstress)
2) uninitialized extent may became initialized right after we
drop i_data_sem, so extent state must be rechecked
3) Locked pages goes uptodate via following sequence:
->readpage(page); lock_page(page); use_that_page(page)
But after readpage() one may invalidate it because it is
uptodate and unlocked (reclaimer does that)
As result kernel bug at include/linux/buffer_head.c:133!
4) We call write_begin() with already opened stansaction which
result in following deadlock:
->move_extent_per_page()
->ext4_journal_start()-> hold journal transaction
->write_begin()
->ext4_da_write_begin()
->ext4_nonda_switch()
->writeback_inodes_sb_if_idle() --> will wait for journal_stop()
5) try_to_release_page() may fail and it does fail if one of page's bh was
pinned by journal
6) If we about to change page's mapping we MUST hold it's lock during entire
remapping procedure, this is true for both pages(original and donor one)
Fixes:
- Avoid (1) and (2) simply by temproraly drop uninitialized extent handling
optimization, this will be reimplemented later.
- Fix (3) by manually forcing page to uptodate state w/o dropping it's lock
- Fix (4) by rearranging existing locking:
from: journal_start(); ->write_begin
to: write_begin(); journal_extend()
- Fix (5) simply by checking retvalue
- Fix (6) by locking both (original and donor one) pages during extent swap
with help of mext_page_double_lock()
