ext4: use ASSERT() to replace J_ASSERT()

2020-12-03T14:36:57Z

There are currently multiple forms of assertion, such as J_ASSERT(). J_ASEERT() is provided for the jbd module, which is a public module. Maybe we should use custom ASSERT() like other file systems, such as xfs, which would be better.

ext4: use ext4_sb_bread() instead of sb_bread()

2020-10-18T14:37:14Z

We have already remove open codes that invoke helpers provide by fs/buffer.c in all places reading metadata buffers. This patch switch to use ext4_sb_bread() to replace all sb_bread() helpers, which is ext4_read_bh() helper back end.

ext4: limit the length of per-inode prealloc list

2020-08-19T16:04:36Z

In the scenario of writing sparse files, the per-inode prealloc list may be very long, resulting in high overhead for ext4_mb_use_preallocated(). To circumvent this problem, we limit the maximum length of per-inode prealloc list to 512 and allow users to modify it. After patching, we observed that the sys ratio of cpu has dropped, and the system throughput has increased significantly. We created a process to write the sparse file, and the running time of the process on the fixed kernel was significantly reduced, as follows: Running time on unfixed kernel： [root@TENCENT64 ~]# time taskset 0x01 ./sparse /data1/sparce.dat real 0m2.051s user 0m0.008s sys 0m2.026s Running time on fixed kernel： [root@TENCENT64 ~]# time taskset 0x01 ./sparse /data1/sparce.dat real 0m0.471s user 0m0.004s sys 0m0.395s Signed-off-by: Chunguang Xu Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/d7a98178-056b-6db5-6bce-4ead23f4a257@gmail.com Signed-off-by: Theodore Ts'o

ext4: check journal inode extents more carefully

2020-08-07T18:12:36Z

Currently, system zones just track ranges of block, that are "important" fs metadata (bitmaps, group descriptors, journal blocks, etc.). This however complicates how extent tree (or indirect blocks) can be checked for inodes that actually track such metadata - currently the journal inode but arguably we should be treating quota files or resize inode similarly. We cannot run __ext4_ext_check() on such metadata inodes when loading their extents as that would immediately trigger the validity checks and so we just hack around that and special-case the journal inode. This however leads to a situation that a journal inode which has extent tree of depth at least one can have invalid extent tree that gets unnoticed until ext4_cache_extents() crashes. To overcome this limitation, track inode number each system zone belongs to (0 is used for zones not belonging to any inode). We can then verify inode number matches the expected one when verifying extent tree and thus avoid the false errors. With this there's no need to to special-case journal inode during extent tree checking anymore so remove it.

ext4: handle ext4_mark_inode_dirty errors

2020-06-04T03:16:50Z

ext4_mark_inode_dirty() can fail for real reasons. Ignoring its return value may lead ext4 to ignore real failures that would result in corruption / crashes. Harden ext4_mark_inode_dirty error paths to fail as soon as possible and return errors to the caller whenever appropriate. One of the possible scnearios when this bug could affected is that while creating a new inode, its directory entry gets added successfully but while writing the inode itself mark_inode_dirty returns error which is ignored. This would result in inconsistency that the directory entry points to a non-existent inode. Ran gce-xfstests smoke tests and verified that there were no regressions.

ext4: save all error info in save_error_info() and drop ext4_set_errno()

2020-04-01T21:29:06Z

Using a separate function, ext4_set_errno() to set the errno is problematic because it doesn't do the right thing once s_last_error_errorcode is non-zero. It's also less racy to set all of the error information all at once. (Also, as a bonus, it shrinks code size slightly.)
