Currently we reserve j_max_transaction_buffers / 32 for transaction descriptor blocks. Now that revoke descriptors are accounted for separately this estimate is unnecessarily high and we can actually compute much tighter estimate. In the common case of 32k journal blocks and 4k blocksize this actually reduces the amount of reserved descriptor blocks from 256 to ~25 which allows us to fit more real data into a transaction.

So far we have reserved only relatively high fixed amount of revoke credits for each transaction. We over-reserved by large amount for most cases but when freeing large directories or files with data journalling, the fixed amount is not enough. In fact the worst case estimate is inconveniently large (maximum extent size) for freeing of one extent. We fix this by doing proper estimate of the amount of blocks that need to be revoked when removing blocks from the inode due to truncate or hole punching and otherwise reserve just a small amount of revoke credits for each transaction to accommodate freeing of xattrs block or so.

Extend functions for starting, extending, and restarting transaction handles to take number of revoke records handle must be able to accommodate. These functions then make sure transaction has enough credits to be able to store resulting revoke descriptor blocks. Also revoke code tracks number of revoke records created by a handle to catch situation where some place didn't reserve enough space for revoke records. Similarly to standard transaction credits, space for unused reserved revoke records is released when the handle is stopped. On the ext4 side we currently take a simplistic approach of reserving space for 1024 revoke records for any transaction. This grows amount of credits reserved for each handle only by a few and is enough for any normal workload so that we don't hit warnings in jbd2. We will refine the logic in following commits.

Currently, journal descriptor blocks were not accounted in transaction->t_outstanding_credits and we were just leaving some slack space in the journal for them (in jbd2_log_space_left() and jbd2_space_needed()). This is making proper accounting (and reservation we want to add) of descriptor blocks difficult so switch to accounting descriptor blocks in transaction->t_outstanding_credits and just reserve the same amount of credits in t_outstanding credits for journal descriptor blocks when creating transaction.

jbd2__journal_restart() has quite some code that is common with jbd2_journal_stop(). Factor this functionality into stop_this_handle() helper and use it from both functions.

When we drop last handle from a transaction and journal->j_barrier_count > 0, jbd2_journal_stop() wakes up journal->j_wait_transaction_locked wait queue. This looks pointless - wait for outstanding handles always happens on journal->j_wait_updates waitqueue. journal->j_wait_transaction_locked is used to wait for transaction state changes and by start_this_handle() for waiting until journal->j_barrier_count drops to 0. The first case is clearly irrelevant here since only jbd2 thread changes transaction state. The second case looks related but jbd2_journal_unlock_updates() is responsible for the wakeup in this case. So just drop the wakeup. Reviewed-by:

If a transaction is larger than journal->j_max_transaction_buffers, that is a bug and not a trigger for transaction commit. Also the very next attempt to start new handle will start transaction commit anyway. So just remove the pointless check. Arguably, we could start transaction commit whenever the transaction size is *close* to journal->j_max_transaction_buffers. This has a potential to reduce latency of the next jbd2_journal_start() at the cost of somewhat smaller transactions. However for this to have any effect, it would mean that there isn't someone already waiting in jbd2_journal_start() which means metadata load for the fs is pretty light anyway so probably this optimization is not worth it.

Error cleanup path in ext4_alloc_branch() calls ext4_forget() on freshly allocated indirect blocks with 'metadata' set to 1. This results in generating revoke records for these blocks. However this is unnecessary as the freed blocks are only allocated in the current transaction and thus they will never be journalled. Make this cleanup path similar to e.g. cleanup in ext4_splice_branch() and use ext4_free_blocks() to handle block forgetting by passing EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_FORGET and not EXT4_FREE_BLOCKS_METADATA to ext4_free_blocks(). This also allows allocating transaction not to reserve any credits for revoke records. Reviewed-by:

This patch introduces a new direct I/O write path which makes use of the iomap infrastructure. All direct I/O writes are now passed from the ->write_iter() callback through to the new direct I/O handler ext4_dio_write_iter(). This function is responsible for calling into the iomap infrastructure via iomap_dio_rw(). Code snippets from the existing direct I/O write code within ext4_file_write_iter() such as, checking whether the I/O request is unaligned asynchronous I/O, or whether the write will result in an overwrite have effectively been moved out and into the new direct I/O ->write_iter() handler. The block mapping flags that are eventually passed down to ext4_map_blocks() from the *_get_block_*() suite of routines have been taken out and introduced within ext4_iomap_alloc(). For inode extension cases, ext4_handle_inode_extension() is effectively the function responsible for performing such metadata updates. This is called after iomap_dio_rw() has returned so that we can safely determine whether we need to potentially truncate any allocated blocks that may have been prepared for this direct I/O write. We don't perform the inode extension, or truncate operations from the ->end_io() handler as we don't have the original I/O 'length' available there. The ->end_io() however is responsible fo converting allocated unwritten extents to written extents. In the instance of a short write, we fallback and complete the remainder of the I/O using buffered I/O via ext4_buffered_write_iter(). The existing buffer_head direct I/O implementation has been removed as it's now redundant.

When ext4_mkdir(), ext4_symlink(), ext4_create(), or ext4_mknod() fail to add entry into directory, it ends up dropping freshly created inode under the running transaction and thus inode truncation happens under that transaction. That breaks assumptions that evict() does not get called from a transaction context and at least in ext4_symlink() case it can result in inode eviction deadlocking in inode_wait_for_writeback() when flush worker finds symlink inode, starts to write it back and blocks on starting a transaction. So change the code in ext4_mkdir() and ext4_add_nondir() to drop inode reference only after the transaction is stopped. We also have to add inode to the orphan list in that case as otherwise the inode would get leaked in case we crash before inode deletion is committed. CC: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by:

When the filesystem is created without a journal, we eventually call into __generic_file_fsync() in order to write out all the modified in-core data to the permanent storage device. This function happens to try and obtain an inode_lock() while synchronizing the files buffer and it's associated metadata. Generally, this is fine, however it becomes a problem when there is higher level code that has already obtained an inode_lock() as this leads to a recursive lock situation. This case is especially true when porting across direct I/O to iomap infrastructure as we obtain an inode_lock() early on in the I/O within ext4_dio_write_iter() and hold it until the I/O has been completed. Consequently, to not run into this specific issue, we move away from calling into __generic_file_fsync() and perform the necessary synchronization tasks within ext4_sync_file(). Signed-off-by:

In preparation for implementing the iomap direct I/O modifications, the inode extension/truncate code needs to be moved out from the ext4_iomap_end() callback. For direct I/O, if the current code remained, it would behave incorrrectly. Updating the inode size prior to converting unwritten extents would potentially allow a racing direct I/O read to find unwritten extents before being converted correctly. The inode extension/truncate code now resides within a new helper ext4_handle_inode_extension(). This function has been designed so that it can accommodate for both DAX and direct I/O extension/truncate operations. Signed-off-by:

This patch addresses what Dave Chinner had discovered and fixed within commit: 7684e2c4 . This changes does not have any user visible impact for ext4 as none of the current users of ext4_iomap_begin() that extend files depend on IOMAP_F_DIRTY. When doing a direct IO that spans the current EOF, and there are written blocks beyond EOF that extend beyond the current write, the only metadata update that needs to be done is a file size extension. However, we don't mark such iomaps as IOMAP_F_DIRTY to indicate that there is IO completion metadata updates required, and hence we may fail to correctly sync file size extensions made in IO completion when O_DSYNC writes are being used and the hardware supports FUA. Hence when setting IOMAP_F_DIRTY, we need to also take into account whether the iomap spans the current EOF. If it does, then we need to mark it dirty so that IO completion will call generic_write_sync() to flush the inode size update to stable storage correctly. Signed-off-by:

For the direct I/O changes that follow in this patch series, we need to accommodate for the case where the block mapping flags passed through to ext4_map_blocks() result in m_flags having both EXT4_MAP_MAPPED and EXT4_MAP_UNWRITTEN bits set. In order for any allocated unwritten extents to be converted correctly in the ->end_io() handler, the iomap->type must be set to IOMAP_UNWRITTEN for cases where the EXT4_MAP_UNWRITTEN bit has been set within m_flags. Hence the reason why we need to reshuffle this conditional statement around. This change is a no-op for DAX as the block mapping flags passed through to ext4_map_blocks() i.e. EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_CREATE_ZERO never results in both EXT4_MAP_MAPPED and EXT4_MAP_UNWRITTEN being set at once.
