296c355cd6 ext4: Use tracepoints for mb_history trace file
The /proc/fs/ext4/<dev>/mb_history was maintained manually, and had a
number of problems: it required a largish amount of memory to be
allocated for each ext4 filesystem, and the s_mb_history_lock
introduced a CPU contention problem.  

By ripping out the mb_history code and replacing it with ftrace
tracepoints, and we get more functionality: timestamps, event
filtering, the ability to correlate mballoc history with other ext4
tracepoints, etc.

90576c0b9a ext4, jbd2: Drop unneeded printks at mount and unmount time
There are a number of kernel printk's which are printed when an ext4
filesystem is mounted and unmounted.  Disable them to economize space
in the system logs.  In addition, disabling the mballoc stats by
default saves a number of unneeded atomic operations for every block
allocation or deallocation.

fb0a387dcd ext4: limit block allocations for indirect-block files to < 2^32
Today, the ext4 allocator will happily allocate blocks past
2^32 for indirect-block files, which results in the block
numbers getting truncated, and corruption ensues.

This patch limits such allocations to < 2^32, and adds
BUG_ONs if we do get blocks larger than that.

This should address RH Bug 519471, ext4 bitmap allocator 
must limit blocks to < 2^32

* ext4_find_goal() is modified to choose a goal < UINT_MAX,
  so that our starting point is in an acceptable range.

* ext4_xattr_block_set() is modified such that the goal block
  is < UINT_MAX, as above.

* ext4_mb_regular_allocator() is modified so that the group
  search does not continue into groups which are too high

* ext4_mb_use_preallocated() has a check that we don't use
  preallocated space which is too far out

* ext4_alloc_blocks() and ext4_xattr_block_set() add some BUG_ONs

No attempt has been made to limit inode locations to < 2^32,
so we may wind up with blocks far from their inodes.  Doing
this much already will lead to some odd ENOSPC issues when the
"lower 32" gets full, and further restricting inodes could
make that even weirder.

For high inodes, choosing a goal of the original, % UINT_MAX,
may be a bit odd, but then we're in an odd situation anyway,
and I don't know of a better heuristic.

f41c075053 ext4: check for need init flag in ext4_mb_load_buddy
We should check for need init flag with the group's alloc_sem held, to
make sure while we are loading the buddy cache and holding a reference
to it, a file system resize can't add new blocks to same group.

The patch also drops the need init flag check in
ext4_mb_regular_allocator() because doing the check without holding
alloc_sem is racy.

a36b44988c ext4: use ext4_grpblk_t more extensively
unsigned  short is potentially too small to track blocks within
a group; today it is safe due to restrictions in e2fsprogs but
we have _lo / _hi bits for group blocks with the intent to go
up to 32 bits, so clean this up now.

There are many more places where we use unsigned/int/unsigned int
to contain a group block but this should at least fix all the
short types.

I added a few comments to the struct ext4_group_info definition
as well.

38877f4e8d simplify some logic in ext4_mb_normalize_request
While reading through some of the mballoc code it seems that a couple
spots in the size normalization function could be streamlined.

The test for non-overlapping PAs can be or'd for the start & end
conditions, and the tests for adjacent PAs can be else-if'd - 
it's essentially independently testing:

	if (A + B <= C)
		...
	if (A > C)
		...

These cannot both be true so it seems like the else-if might
be slightly more efficient and/or informative.

0373130d5b ext4: open-code ext4_mb_update_group_info
ext4_mb_update_group_info is only called in one place, and it's
extremely simple.  There's no reason to have it in a separate function
in a separate file as far as I can tell, it just obfuscates what's
really going on.

Perhaps it was intended to keep the grp->bb_* manipulation local to
mballoc.c but we're already accessing other grp-> fields in balloc.c
directly so this seems ok.

50797481a7 ext4: Avoid group preallocation for closed files
Currently the group preallocation code tries to find a large (512)
free block from which to do per-cpu group allocation for small files.
The problem with this scheme is that it leaves the filesystem horribly
fragmented.  In the worst case, if the filesystem is unmounted and
remounted (after a system shutdown, for example) we forget the fact
that wee were using a particular (now-partially filled) 512 block
extent.  So the next time we try to allocate space for a small file,
we will find *another* completely free 512 block chunk to allocate
small files.  Given that there are 32,768 blocks in a block group,
after 64 iterations of "mount, write one 4k file in a directory,
unmount", the block group will have 64 files, each separated by 511
blocks, and the block group will no longer have any free 512
completely free chunks of blocks for group preallocation space.

So if we try to allocate blocks for a file that has been closed, such
that we know the final size of the file, and the filesystem is not
busy, avoid using group preallocation.

4ba74d00a2 ext4: Fix bugs in mballoc's stream allocation mode
The logic around sbi->s_mb_last_group and sbi->s_mb_last_start was all
screwed up.  These fields were getting unconditionally all the time,
set even when stream allocation had not taken place, and if they were
being used when the file was smaller than s_mb_stream_request, which
is when the allocation should _not_ be doing stream allocation.

Fix this by determining whether or not we stream allocation should
take place once, in ext4_mb_group_or_file(), and setting a flag which
gets used in ext4_mb_regular_allocator() and ext4_mb_use_best_found().
This simplifies the code and assures that we are consistently using
(or not using) the stream allocation logic.

024eab4d5b ext4: Fix memory leak fix when mounting an ext4 filesystem
The allocation of the ext4_group_info array was moved to a new
function ext4_mb_add_group_info() in commit 5f21b0e6 so that online
resize would use a common (and correct) codepath.  Unfortunately, the
call to the new ext4_mb_add_group_info() function was added without
removing the code which originally allocated the array.  This caused a
memory leak each time an ext4 filesystem was mounted.

The fix is simple; remove the code that did the original allocation,
since it is no longer needed.

089ceecc1e ext4: mark several more functions in mballoc.c as noinline
Ted noticed a stack-deep callchain through
writepages->ext4_mb_regular_allocator->ext4_mb_init_cache->submit_bh ...

With all the static functions in mballoc.c, gcc helpfully
inlines for us, and we get something like this:

ext4_mb_regular_allocator	(232 bytes stack)
	ext4_mb_init_cache	(232 bytes stack)
		submit_bh	(starts 464 deeper)

the 2 ext4 functions here get several others inlined; by telling
gcc not to inline them, we can save stack space for when we
head off into submit_bh land and associated block layer callchains.
The following noinlined functions are only called once, so this
won't impact any other callchains:

ext4_mb_regular_allocator 			(104) (was 232)
	ext4_mb_find_by_goal			 (56) (noinlined)
	ext4_mb_init_group			 (24) (noinlined)
		ext4_mb_init_cache		(136) (was 232)
			ext4_mb_generate_buddy	 (88) (noinlined)
			ext4_mb_generate_from_pa (40) (noinlined)
			submit_bh
	ext4_mb_simple_scan_group		 (24) (noinlined)
	ext4_mb_scan_aligned			 (56) (noinlined)
	ext4_mb_complex_scan_group		 (40) (noinlined)
	ext4_mb_try_best_found			 (24) (noinlined)

now when we head off into submit_bh() we're only 264 bytes deeper
in stack than when we entered ext4_mb_regular_allocator()
(vs. 464 bytes before).  Every 200 bytes helps.  :)

This facility is also used by the multi-block allocator to assure that
it is not allocating blocks out of the system zone, as well as by the
routines used when reading indirect blocks and extents information
from disk to make sure their contents are valid.

75507efb13 ext4: Don't avoid using BLOCK_UNINIT block groups in mballoc
By avoiding the use of not-yet-used block groups (i.e., block groups
with the BLOCK_UNINIT flag), mballoc had a tendency to create large
files with large non-contiguous gaps.  In addition avoiding the use of
new block groups had a tendency to push regular file data into the
first block group in a flex_bg group, which slows down the speed of
e2fsck pass 2, since it has a tendency to seek much more.  For
example:

               Before Patch                       After Patch
              Time in seconds                   Time in seconds

Pass 1      8.52 / 2.21 / 0.46  20.43      8.84 / 4.97 / 1.11   19.68
Pass 2     21.16 / 1.02 / 1.86  11.30      6.54 / 1.77 / 1.78   36.39
Pass 3      0.01 / 0.00 / 0.00 139.00      0.01 / 0.01 / 0.00  128.90
Pass 4      0.16 / 0.15 / 0.00   0.00      0.17 / 0.17 / 0.00    0.00

Total      32.40 / 5.11 / 2.49  12.81     17.99 / 8.75 / 2.98   23.01

This was on a sample 80 gig root filesystem which was approximately
50% full.  Note the improved e2fsck pass 2 performance, by over a
factor of 3, due to a decreased number of seeks.  (The total amount of
I/O in pass 2 was unchanged; the layout of the directory blocks was
simply much better from e2fsck's's perspective.)

Other changes as a result of this patch on this sample filesystem:

                             Before Patch    After Patch
# of non-contig files           762             779
# of non-contig directories     571             570

# of INODE_UNINIT bg's          503             503

Out of 640 block groups, of which 333 were in use, this patch caused
an extra 14 block groups to be utilized.  The number of non-contiguous
files did go up slightly, but when measured against the 99.9% of the
files (603,154) which were contiguously allocated, this is pretty
insignificant.

8df9675f8b ext4: Avoid races caused by on-line resizing and SMP memory reordering
Ext4's on-line resizing adds a new block group and then, only at the
last step adjusts s_groups_count.  However, it's possible on SMP
systems that another CPU could see the updated the s_group_count and
not see the newly initialized data structures for the just-added block
group.  For this reason, it's important to insert a SMP read barrier
after reading s_groups_count and before reading any (for example) the
new block group descriptors allowed by the increased value of
s_groups_count.

Unfortunately, we rather blatently violate this locking protocol
documented in fs/ext4/resize.c.  Fortunately, (1) on-line resizes
happen relatively rarely, and (2) it seems rare that the filesystem
code will immediately try to use just-added block group before any
memory ordering issues resolve themselves.  So apparently problems
here are relatively hard to hit, since ext3 has been vulnerable to the
same issue for years with no one apparently complaining.

a4912123b6 ext4: New inode/block allocation algorithms for flex_bg filesystems
The find_group_flex() inode allocator is now only used if the
filesystem is mounted using the "oldalloc" mount option.  It is
replaced with the original Orlov allocator that has been updated for
flex_bg filesystems (it should behave the same way if flex_bg is
disabled).  The inode allocator now functions by taking into account
each flex_bg group, instead of each block group, when deciding whether
or not it's time to allocate a new directory into a fresh flex_bg.

The block allocator has also been changed so that the first block
group in each flex_bg is preferred for use for storing directory
blocks.  This keeps directory blocks close together, which is good for
speeding up e2fsck since large directories are more likely to look
like this:

60e58e0f30 ext4: quota reservation for delayed allocation
Uses quota reservation/claim/release to handle quota properly for delayed
allocation in the three steps: 1) quotas are reserved when data being copied
to cache when block allocation is defered 2) when new blocks are allocated.
reserved quotas are converted to the real allocated quota, 2) over-booked
quotas for metadata blocks are released back.

d33a1976fb ext4: fix bb_prealloc_list corruption due to wrong group locking
This is for Red Hat bug 490026: EXT4 panic, list corruption in
ext4_mb_new_inode_pa

ext4_lock_group(sb, group) is supposed to protect this list for
each group, and a common code flow to remove an album is like
this:

    ext4_get_group_no_and_offset(sb, pa->pa_pstart, &grp, NULL);
    ext4_lock_group(sb, grp);
    list_del(&pa->pa_group_list);
    ext4_unlock_group(sb, grp);

so it's critical that we get the right group number back for
this prealloc context, to lock the right group (the one 
associated with this pa) and prevent concurrent list manipulation.

however, ext4_mb_put_pa() passes in (pa->pa_pstart - 1) with a 
comment, "-1 is to protect from crossing allocation group".

This makes sense for the group_pa, where pa_pstart is advanced
by the length which has been used (in ext4_mb_release_context()),
and when the entire length has been used, pa_pstart has been
advanced to the first block of the next group.

However, for inode_pa, pa_pstart is never advanced; it's just
set once to the first block in the group and not moved after
that.  So in this case, if we subtract one in ext4_mb_put_pa(),
we are actually locking the *previous* group, and opening the
race with the other threads which do not subtract off the extra
block.

8d03c7a0c5 ext4: fix bogus BUG_ONs in in mballoc code
Thiemo Nagel reported that:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=image.ext4 bs=1M count=2
# mkfs.ext4 -v -F -b 1024 -m 0 -g 512 -G 4 -I 128 -N 1 \
  -O large_file,dir_index,flex_bg,extent,sparse_super image.ext4
# mount -o loop image.ext4 mnt/
# dd if=/dev/zero of=mnt/file

oopsed, with a BUG_ON in ext4_mb_normalize_request because
size == EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP

It appears to me (esp. after talking to Andreas) that the BUG_ON
is bogus; a request of exactly EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP should
be allowed, though larger sizes do indicate a problem.

Fix that an another (apparently rare) codepath with a similar check.

9fd9784c91 ext4: Fix building with EXT4FS_DEBUG
When bg_free_blocks_count was renamed to bg_free_blocks_count_lo in
560671a0, its uses under EXT4FS_DEBUG were not changed to the helper
ext4_free_blks_count.

Another commit, 498e5f24, also did not change everything needed under
EXT4FS_DEBUG, thus making it spill some warnings related to printing
format.

This commit fixes both issues and makes ext4 build again when
EXT4FS_DEBUG is enabled.

With nodelalloc option we need to update the dirty block counter on
block allocation failure. This is needed because we increment the
dirty block counter early in the block allocation phase. Without
the patch s_dirty_blocks_counter goes wrong so that filesystem's
free blocks decreases incorrectly.

For uninit block group, the on-disk bitmap is not initialized. That
implies we cannot depend on the uptodate flag on the bitmap
buffer_head to find bitmap validity.  Use a new buffer_head flag which
would be set after we properly initialize the bitmap.  This also
prevents (re-)initializing the uninit group bitmap every time we call 
ext4_read_block_bitmap().
