So we can better understand what bits of ext4 are responsible for
long-running jbd2 handles, use jbd2__journal_start() so we can pass
context information for logging purposes.
The recommended way for finding the longer-running handles is:
T=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
EVENT=$T/events/jbd2/jbd2_handle_stats
echo "interval > 5" > $EVENT/filter
echo 1 > $EVENT/enable
./run-my-fs-benchmark
cat $T/trace > /tmp/problem-handles
This will list handles that were active for longer than 20ms. Having
longer-running handles is bad, because a commit started at the wrong
time could stall for those 20+ milliseconds, which could delay an
fsync() or an O_SYNC operation. Here is an example line from the
trace file describing a handle which lived on for 311 jiffies, or over
1.2 seconds:
postmark-2917 [000] .... 196.435786: jbd2_handle_stats: dev 254,32
tid 570 type 2 line_no 2541 interval 311 sync 0 requested_blocks 1

The only reason for sb_getblk() failing is if it can't allocate the
buffer_head. So ENOMEM is more appropriate than EIO. In addition,
make sure that the file system is marked as being inconsistent if
sb_getblk() fails.

Not all architectures (in particular, sparc64) have empty_zero_page.
So instead of copying from empty_zero_page, use memset to clear the
inline data by signalling to ext4_xattr_set_entry() via a magic
pointer value, EXT4_ZERO_ATTR_VALUE, which is defined by casting -1 to
a pointer.
This fixes a build failure on sparc64, and the memset() should be more
efficient than using memcpy() anyway.

If we are punching hole in a file, we will return ENOTSUPP.
As for the fallocation of some extents, we will convert the
inline data to a normal extent based file first.

Now we that store data in the inode, in case we need to store some
xattrs and inode doesn't have enough space, Andreas suggested that we
should keep the xattr(metadata) in and data should be pushed out. So
this patch does the work.

fiemap is used to find the disk layout of a file, as for inline data,
let us just pretend like a file with just one extent.

In case we rename a directory, ext4_rename has to read the dir block
and change its dotdot's information. The old ext4_rename encapsulated
the dir_block read into itself. So this patch adds a new function
ext4_get_first_dir_block() which gets the dir buffer information so
the ext4_rename can handle it properly. As it will also change the
parent inode number, we return the parent_de so that ext4_rename() can
handle it more easily.
ext4_find_entry is also changed so that the caller(rename) can tell
whether the found entry is an inlined one or not and journaling the
corresponding buffer head.

This patch let add_dir_entry handle the inline data case. So the
dir is initialized as inline dir first and then we can try to add
some files to it, when the inline space can't hold all the entries,
a dir block will be created and the dir entry will be moved to it.
Also for an inlined dir, "." and ".." are removed and we only use
4 bytes to store the parent inode number. These 2 entries will be
added when we convert an inline dir to a block-based one.

For delayed allocation mode, we write to inline data if the file
is small enough. And in case of we write to some offset larger
than the inline size, the 1st page is dirtied, so that
ext4_da_writepages can handle the conversion. When the 1st page
is initialized with blocks, the inline part is removed.

For a normal write case (not journalled write, not delayed

it to an extent based file when the write is larger than the max
inline size.

Now we use "system.data" to store xattr, and the xattr will
be extended if the i_size is increased while we don't release
the space during truncate.
