During block reservation if we don't have enough blocks left, retry
block reservation with smaller block counts. This makes sure we try
fallocate and DIO with smaller request size and don't fail early. The
delayed allocation reservation cannot try with smaller block count. So
retry block reservation to handle temporary disk full conditions. Also
print free blocks details if we fail block allocation during writepages.

With delayed allocation we need to make sure block are reserved before
we attempt to allocate them. Otherwise we get block allocation failure
(ENOSPC) during writepages which cannot be handled. This would mean
silent data loss (We do a printk stating data will be lost). This patch
updates the DIO and fallocate code path to do block reservation before
block allocation. This is needed to make sure parallel DIO and fallocate
request doesn't take block out of delayed reserve space.
When free blocks count go below a threshold we switch to a slow patch
which looks at other CPU's accumulated percpu counter values.

Currently, the locality group prealloc list is freed only when there
is a block allocation failure. This can result in large number of
entries in the preallocation list making ext4_mb_use_preallocated()
expensive.
To fix this, we convert the locality group prealloc list to a hash
list. The hash index is the order of number of blocks in the prealloc
space with a max order of 9. When adding prealloc space to the list we
make sure total entries for each order does not exceed 8. If it is
more than 8 we discard few entries and make sure the we have only <= 5
entries.

I noticed when filling a 1T filesystem with 4 threads using the
fs_mark benchmark:
fs_mark -d /mnt/test -D 256 -n 100000 -t 4 -s 20480 -F -S 0
that I occasionally got checksum mismatch errors:
EXT4-fs error (device sdb): ext4_init_inode_bitmap: Checksum bad for group 6935
etc. I'd reliably get 4-5 of them during the run.
It appears that the problem is likely a race to init the bg's

This patch does block reservation for delayed
allocation, to avoid ENOSPC later at page flush time.
Blocks(data and metadata) are reserved at da_write_begin()
time, the freeblocks counter is updated by then, and the number of
reserved blocks is store in per inode counter.
At the writepage time, the unused reserved meta blocks are returned
back. At unlink/truncate time, reserved blocks are properly released.

This patch mostly controls the way inode are allocated in order to
make ialloc aware of flex_bg block group grouping. It achieves this
by bypassing the Orlov allocator when block group meta-data are packed
toghether through mke2fs. Since the impact on the block allocator is
minimal, this patch should have little or no effect on other block
allocation algorithms. By controlling the inode allocation, it can
basically control where the initial search for new block begins and
thus indirectly manipulate the block allocator.
This allocator favors data and meta-data locality so the disk will
gradually be filled from block group zero upward. This helps improve
performance by reducing seek time. Since the group of inode tables
within one flex_bg are treated as one giant inode table, uninitialized
block groups would not need to partially initialize as many inode
table as with Orlov which would help fsck time as the filesystem usage
goes up.

In case of inode preallocation, the number of blocks to allocate depends
on the file size and it is calculated in ext4_mb_normalize_request().
Each group in the filesystem is then checked to find one that can be
used for allocation; this is done in ext4_mb_good_group().
When a file bigger than 4MB is created, the requested number of blocks
to preallocate, calculated by ext4_mb_normalize_request is 4096.
However for a filesystem with 1KB block size, the maximum size of the
block buddies used by the multiblock allocator is 2048, so none of
groups in the filesystem satisfies the search criteria in
ext4_mb_good_group(). Scanning all the filesystem groups impacts
performance.
This was demonstrated by using a freshly created, 70GB, 1k block
filesystem, with caches dropped write before the test via
/proc/sys/vm/drop_caches, and with the filesystem mounted with
nodelalloc and nodealloc,nomballoc. The time to write an 8 megabyte
file using "dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/test/fo bs=8k count=1k conv=fsync"
took 35.5091 seconds (236kB/s) with nodellaloc, and 0.233754 seconds
(35.9 MB/s) with the nodelloc,nomballoc options. With a 1TB partition,
it took several minutes to write 8MB!
This patch modifies the algorithm in ext4_mb_normalize_group_request to
calculate the number of blocks to allocate by taking into account the
maximum size of free blocks chunks handled by the multiblock allocator.
It has also been tested for filesystems with 2KB and 4KB block sizes to
ensure that those cases don't regress.

struct ext4_allocation_context is rather large, and this bloats
the stack of many functions which use it. Allocating it from
a named slab cache will alleviate this.
For example, with this change (on top of the noinline patch sent earlier):
-ext4_mb_new_blocks 200
+ext4_mb_new_blocks 40
-ext4_mb_free_blocks 344
+ext4_mb_free_blocks 168
-ext4_mb_release_inode_pa 216
+ext4_mb_release_inode_pa 40
-ext4_mb_release_group_pa 192
+ext4_mb_release_group_pa 24
Most of these stack-allocated structs are actually used only for
mballoc history; and in those cases often a smaller struct would do.
So changing that may be another way around it, at least for those
functions, if preferred. For now, in those cases where the ac
is only for history, an allocation failure simply skips the history
recording, and does not cause any other failures.
