ext2: fix ext2 block reservation early ENOSPC issue

2008-10-16T18:21:45Z

We could run into ENOSPC error on ext2, even when there is free blocks on the filesystem. The problem is triggered in the case the goal block group has 0 free blocks , and the rest block groups are skipped due to the check of "free_blocks < windowsz/2". Current code could fall back to non reservation allocation to prevent early ENOSPC after examing all the block groups with reservation on , but this code was bypassed if the reservation window is turned off already, which is true in this case. This patch fixed two issues: 1) We don't need to turn off block reservation if the goal block group has 0 free blocks left and continue search for the rest of block groups. Current code the intention is to turn off the block reservation if the goal allocation group has a few (some) free blocks left (not enough for make the desired reservation window),to try to allocation in the goal block group, to get better locality. But if the goal blocks have 0 free blocks, it should leave the block reservation on, and continues search for the next block groups,rather than turn off block reservation completely. 2) we don't need to check the window size if the block reservation is off. The problem was originally found and fixed in ext4. Signed-off-by: Mingming Cao Cc: Theodore Ts'o Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

ext2: retry block allocation if new blocks are allocated from system zone

2008-04-28T15:58:43Z

If the block allocator gets blocks out of system zone ext2 calls ext2_error. But if the file system is mounted with errors=continue retry block allocation. We need to mark the system zone blocks as in use to make sure retry don't pick them again System zone is the block range mapping block bitmap, inode bitmap and inode table.

fs/ext2: use BUG_ON

2008-04-28T15:58:43Z

if (...) BUG(); should be replaced with BUG_ON(...) when the test has no side-effects to allow a definition of BUG_ON that drops the code completely. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // @ disable unlikely @ expression E,f; @@ ( if (<... f(...) ...>) { BUG(); } | - if (unlikely(E)) { BUG(); } + BUG_ON(E); ) @@ expression E,f; @@ ( if (<... f(...) ...>) { BUG(); } | - if (E) { BUG(); } + BUG_ON(E); ) // Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

ext2: add block bitmap validation

2008-02-06T18:41:20Z

When a new block bitmap is read from disk in read_block_bitmap() there are a few bits that should ALWAYS be set. In particular, the blocks given corresponding to block bitmap, inode bitmap and inode tables. Validate the block bitmap against these blocks.

ext2: return after ext2_error in case of failures

2008-02-06T18:41:00Z

This fixes some instances where we were continuing after calling ext2_error. ext2_error call panic only if errors=panic mount option is set. So we need to make sure we return correctly after ext2_error call. Signed-off-by: Aneesh Kumar K.V Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

Revert "ext2/ext3/ext4: add block bitmap validation"

2007-11-13T16:09:11Z

This reverts commit 7c9e69faa28027913ee059c285a5ea8382e24b5d, fixing up conflicts in fs/ext4/balloc.c manually. The cost of doing the bitmap validation on each lookup - even when the bitmap is cached - is absolutely prohibitive. We could, and probably should, do it only when adding the bitmap to the buffer cache. However, right now we are better off just reverting it. Peter Zijlstra measured the cost of this extra validation as a 85% decrease in cached iozone, and while I had a patch that took it down to just 17% by not being _quite_ so stupid in the validation, it was still a big slowdown that could have been avoided by just doing it right.
