Some architectures implement ext4_find_next_bit and
ext4_find_next_zero_bit in such a way that they return
greater than max for some input values. Make sure
mb_find_next_bit and mb_find_next_zero_bit return the
right values.
On 2.6.25 we have include/asm-x86/bitops_32.h
static inline unsigned find_first_bit(const unsigned long *addr, unsigned size)
{
unsigned x = 0;
while (x < size) {
unsigned long val = *addr++;
if (val)
return __ffs(val) + x;
x += (sizeof(*addr)<<3);
}
return x;
}
This can return value greater than size.

If the block allocator gets blocks out of system zone ext4 calls
ext4_error. But if the file system is mounted with errors=continue
retry block allocation. We need to mark the system zone blocks as
in use to make sure retry don't pick them again
System zone is the block range mapping block bitmap, inode bitmap and inode
table.

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.

bdevname() fills the buffer that it is given as a parameter, so calling
strcpy() or snprintf() on the returned value is redundant (and probably not
guaranteed to work - I don't think strcpy and snprintf support overlapping

With the flex_bg feature enabled, a large file creation oopses the
kernel. The BUG_ON is:
BUG_ON(len >= EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP(sb));
As the allocation of the bitmaps and the inode table can be done
outside the block group with flex_bg, this allows to allocate up to
EXT4_BLOCKS_PER_GROUP blocks in a group.
This patch fixes the oops.

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.
