899ad0cea6 ext4: Conditionally define compat ioctl numbers
It is unnecessary, and in general impossible, to define the compat

786ec7915e ext4: Clear the EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL flag only when warranted
Dimitry Monakhov discovered an edge case where it was possible for the
EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL flag could get cleared unnecessarily.  This is true;
I have a test case that can be exercised via downloading and
decompressing the file:

wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tytso/ext4-testcases/eofblocks-fl-test-case.img.bz2
bunzip2 eofblocks-fl-test-case.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=eofblocks-fl-test-case.img bs=1k seek=17925 bs=1k count=1 conv=notrunc

However, triggering it in real life is highly unlikely since it
requires an extremely fragmented sparse file with a hole in exactly
the right place in the extent tree.  (It actually took quite a bit of
work to generate this test case.)  Still, it's nice to get even
extreme corner cases to be correct, so this patch makes sure that we
don't clear the EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL incorrectly even in this corner
case.

f70f362b4a ext4: Avoid crashing on NULL ptr dereference on a filesystem error
If the EOFBLOCK_FL flag is set when it should not be and the inode is
zero length, then eh_entries is zero, and ex is NULL, so dereferencing
ex to print ex->ee_block causes a kernel OOPS in
ext4_ext_map_blocks().

On top of that, the error message which is printed isn't very helpful.
So we fix this by printing something more explanatory which doesn't
involve trying to print ex->ee_block.

8e48dcfbd7 ext4: Use our own write_cache_pages()
Make a copy of write_cache_pages() for the benefit of
ext4_da_writepages().  This allows us to simplify the code some, and
will allow us to further customize the code in future patches.

There are some nasty hacks in write_cache_pages(), which Linus has
(correctly) characterized as vile.  I've just copied it into
write_cache_pages_da(), without trying to clean those bits up lest I
break something in the ext4's delalloc implementation, which is a bit
fragile right now.  This will allow Dave Chinner to clean up
write_cache_pages() in mm/page-writeback.c, without worrying about
breaking ext4.  Eventually write_cache_pages_da() will go away when I
rewrite ext4's delayed allocation and create a general
ext4_writepages() which is used for all of ext4's writeback.  Until
now this is the lowest risk way to clean up the core
write_cache_pages() function.

8a57d9d61a ext4: check for a good block group before loading buddy pages
This adds a new field in ext4_group_info to cache the largest available
block range in a block group; and don't load the buddy pages until *after*
we've done a sanity check on the block group.

With large allocation requests (e.g., fallocate(), 8MiB) and relatively full
partitions, it's easy to have no block groups with a block extent large
enough to satisfy the input request length.  This currently causes the loop
during cr == 0 in ext4_mb_regular_allocator() to load the buddy bitmap pages
for EVERY block group.  That can be a lot of pages.  The patch below allows
us to call ext4_mb_good_group() BEFORE we load the buddy pages (although we
have check again after we lock the block group).

72b8ab9dde ext4: don't use quota reservation for speculative metadata
Because we can badly over-reserve metadata when we
calculate worst-case, it complicates things for quota, since
we must reserve and then claim later, retry on EDQUOT, etc.
Quota is also a generally smaller pool than fs free blocks,
so this over-reservation hurts more, and more often.

I'm of the opinion that it's not the worst thing to allow
metadata to push a user slightly over quota.  This simplifies
the code and avoids the false quota rejections that result
from worst-case speculation.

This patch stops the speculative quota-charging for
worst-case metadata requirements, and just charges quota
when the blocks are allocated at writeout.  It also is
able to remove the try-again loop on EDQUOT.

This patch has been tested indirectly by running the xfstests
suite with a hack to mount & enable quota prior to the test.

I also did a more specific test of fragmenting freespace
and then doing a large delalloc write under quota; quota
stopped me at the right amount of file IO, and then the
writeout generated enough metadata (due to the fragmentation)
that it put me slightly over quota, as expected.

0e05842bc1 quota: add the option to not fail with EDQUOT in block
To simplify metadata tracking for delalloc writes, ext4
will simply claim metadata blocks at allocation time, without
first speculatively reserving the worst case and then freeing
what was not used.

To do this, we need a mechanism to track allocations in
the quota subsystem, but potentially allow that allocation
to actually go over quota.

This patch adds a DQUOT_SPACE_NOFAIL flag and function
variants for this purpose.

21ca087a38 ext4: Do not zero out uninitialized extents beyond i_size
The extents code will sometimes zero out blocks and mark them as
initialized instead of splitting an extent into several smaller ones.
This optimization however, causes problems if the extent is beyond
i_size because fsck will complain if there are uninitialized blocks
after i_size as this can not be distinguished from an inode that has
an incorrect i_size field.

c445e3e0a5 ext4: don't scan/accumulate more pages than mballoc will allocate
There was a bug reported on RHEL5 that a 10G dd on a 12G box
had a very, very slow sync after that.

At issue was the loop in write_cache_pages scanning all the way
to the end of the 10G file, even though the subsequent call
to mpage_da_submit_io would only actually write a smallish amt; then
we went back to the write_cache_pages loop ... wasting tons of time
in calling __mpage_da_writepage for thousands of pages we would
just revisit (many times) later.

Upstream it's not such a big issue for sys_sync because we get
to the loop with a much smaller nr_to_write, which limits the loop.

However, talking with Aneesh he realized that fsync upstream still
gets here with a very large nr_to_write and we face the same problem.

This patch makes mpage_add_bh_to_extent stop the loop after we've
accumulated 2048 pages, by setting mpd->io_done = 1; which ultimately
causes the write_cache_pages loop to break.

Repeating the test with a dirty_ratio of 80 (to leave something for
fsync to do), I don't see huge IO performance gains, but the reduction
in cpu usage is striking: 80% usage with stock, and 2% with the
below patch.  Instrumenting the loop in write_cache_pages clearly
shows that we are wasting time here.

Eventually we need to change mpage_da_map_pages() also submit its I/O
to the block layer, subsuming mpage_da_submit_io(), and then change it
call ext4_get_blocks() multiple times.

1c6fe0364f cpuidle: Fix incorrect optimization
commit 672917dcc7 ("cpuidle: menu governor: reduce latency on exit")
added an optimization, where the analysis on the past idle period moved
from the end of idle, to the beginning of the new idle.

Unfortunately, this optimization had a bug where it zeroed one key
variable for new use, that is needed for the analysis.  The fix is
simple, zero the variable after doing the work from the previous idle.

During the audit of the code that found this issue, another issue was
also found; the ->measured_us data structure member is never set, a
local variable is always used instead.

1176568de7 md: restore ability of spare drives to spin down.
Some time ago we stopped the clean/active metadata updates
from being written to a 'spare' device in most cases so that
it could spin down and say spun down.  Device failure/removal
etc are still recorded on spares.

However commit 51d5668cb2 broke this 50% of the time,
depending on whether the event count is even or odd.
The change log entry said:

   This means that the alignment between 'odd/even' and
    'clean/dirty' might take a little longer to attain,

how ever the code makes no attempt to create that alignment, so it
could take arbitrarily long.

So when we find that clean/dirty is not aligned with odd/even,
force a second metadata-update immediately.  There are already cases
where a second metadata-update is needed immediately (e.g. when a
device fails during the metadata update).  We just piggy-back on that.
