ext4: fix kernel oops if the journal superblock has a non-zero j_errno
Commit 84061e0 fixed an accounting bug only to introduce the
possibility of a kernel OOPS if the journal has a non-zero j_errno
field indicating that the file system had detected a fs inconsistency.
After the journal replay, if the journal superblock indicates that the
file system has an error, this indication is transfered to the file
system and then ext4_commit_super() is called to write this to the
disk.
But since the percpu counters are now initialized after the journal
replay, the call to ext4_commit_super() will cause a kernel oops since
it needs to use the percpu counters the ext4 superblock structure.
The fix is to skip setting the ext4 free block and free inode fields
if the percpu counter has not been set.

ext4: update writeback_index based on last page scanned
As pointed out in a prior patch, updating the mapping's
writeback_index based on pages written isn't quite right;
what the writeback index is really supposed to reflect is
the next page which should be scanned for writeback during
periodic flush.
As in write_cache_pages(), write_cache_pages_da() does
this scanning for us as we assemble the mpd for later
writeout. If we keep track of the next page after the
current scan, we can easily update writeback_index without
worrying about pages written vs. pages skipped, etc.
Without this, an fsync will reset writeback_index to
0 (its starting index) + however many pages it wrote, which
can mess up the progress of periodic flush.
Signed-off-by: Eric Sandeen <sandeen@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
but since we forked write_cache_pages, we need to reimplement
it there (and in ext4_da_writepages, since range_cyclic handling
was moved to there)
If you start a large buffered IO to a file, and then set
fsync after it, you'll find that fsync does not complete
until the other IO stops.
If you continue re-dirtying the file (say, putting dd
with conv=notrunc in a loop), when fsync finally completes
(after all IO is done), it reports via tracing that
it has written many more pages than the file contains;
in other words it has synced and re-synced pages in
the file multiple times.
This then leads to problems with our writeback_index
update, since it advances it by pages written, and
essentially sets writeback_index off the end of the
file...
With the following patch, we only sync as much as was
dirty at the time of the sync.

argument. fstrim_range is definec in the include/fs.h and its
definition is as follows.
struct fstrim_range {
start;
len;
minlen;
}
start - first Byte to trim
len - number of Bytes to trim from start
minlen - minimum extent length to trim, free extents shorter than this
number of Bytes will be ignored. This will be rounded up to fs
block size.
It is also possible to specify NULL as an argument. In this case the
arguments will set itself as follows:
start = 0;
len = ULLONG_MAX;
minlen = 0;
So it will trim the whole file system at one run.
After the FITRIM is done, the number of actually discarded Bytes is stored
in fstrim_range.len to give the user better insight on how much storage
space has been really released for wear-leveling.

ext4: Use return value from sb_issue_discard()
Use return value from sb_issue_discard() as return value in
ext4_issue_discard(). Since sb_issue_discard() may result in more
serious errors than just -EOPNOTSUPP it is worth to inform user of this
function about them to handle error cases properly.

ext4: use bio layer instead of buffer layer in mpage_da_submit_io
Call the block I/O layer directly instad of going through the buffer
layer. This should give us much better performance and scalability,
as well as lowering our CPU utilization when doing buffered writeback.

ext4: move mpage_put_bnr_to_bhs()'s functionality to mpage_da_submit_io()
This massively simplifies the ext4_da_writepages() code path by
completely removing mpage_put_bnr_bhs(), which is almost 100 lines of
code iterating over a set of pages using pagevec_lookup(), and folds
that functionality into mpage_da_submit_io()'s existing
pagevec_lookup() loop.

ext4: inline ext4_writepage() into mpage_da_submit_io()
As a prepratory step to switching to bio_submit, inline
ext4_writepage() into mpage_da_submit() and then simplify things a
bit. This makes it clearer what mpage_da_submit needs to do.
Also, move the ClearPageChecked(page) call into
__ext4_journalled_writepage(), as a minor bit of cleanup refactoring.
This also allows us to pull i_size_read() and
ext4_should_journal_data() out of the loop, which should be a very
minor CPU savings.

ext4: call mpage_da_submit_io() from mpage_da_map_blocks()
Eventually we need to completely reorganize the ext4 writepage
callpath, but for now, we simplify things a little by calling
mpage_da_submit_io() from mpage_da_map_blocks(), since all of the
places where we call mpage_da_map_blocks() it is followed up by a call
to mpage_da_submit_io().
We're also a wee bit better with respect to error handling, but there
are still a number of issues where it's not clear what the right thing
is to do with ext4 functions deep in the writeback codepath fails.

ext4: use KMEM_CACHE instead of kmem_cache_create
Also remove the SLAB_RECLAIM_ACCOUNT flag from the system zone kmem
cache. This slab tends to be fairly static, so it shouldn't be marked
as likely to have free pages that can be reclaimed.

ext4: use search_dirblock() in ext4_dx_find_entry()
Use the search_dirblock() in ext4_dx_find_entry(). It makes the code
easier to read, and it takes advantage of common code. It also saves
100 bytes or so of text space.
