2011-09-09ext4: enforce bigalloc restrictions (e.g., no online resizing, etc.)Theodore Ts'o1-0/+7
At least initially if the bigalloc feature is enabled, we will not support non-extent mapped inodes, online resizing, online defrag, or the FITRIM ioctl. This simplifies the initial implementation. Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
2011-09-06ext4: fix fsx truncate failureAllison Henderson1-2/+11
While running extended fsx tests to verify the first two patches, a similar bug was also found in the truncate operation. This bug happens because the truncate routine only zeros the unblock aligned portion of the last page. This means that the block aligned portions of the page appearing after i_size are left unzeroed, and the buffer heads still mapped. This bug is corrected by using ext4_discard_partial_page_buffers in the truncate routine to zero the partial page and unmap the buffer headers.

2011-08-19ext4: flush any pending end_io requests before DIO reads w/dioread_nolockJiaying Zhang1-2/+7
There is a race between ext4 buffer write and direct_IO read with dioread_nolock mount option enabled. The problem is that we clear PageWriteback flag during end_io time but will do uninitialized-to-initialized extent conversion later with dioread_nolock. If an O_direct read request comes in during this period, ext4 will return zero instead of the recently written data. This patch checks whether there are any pending uninitialized-to-initialized extent conversion requests before doing O_direct read to close the race. Note that this is just a bandaid fix. The fundamental issue is that we clear PageWriteback flag before we really complete an IO, which is problem-prone. To fix the fundamental issue, we may need to implement an extent tree cache that we can use to look up pending to-be-converted extents.

Fix up conflict in fs/ext4/inode.c: commit aacfc19c626e ("fs: simplify the blockdev_direct_IO prototype") had changed the ext4_ind_direct_IO() function for the new simplified calling convention, while commit dae1e52cb126 ("ext4: move ext4_ind_* functions from inode.c to indirect.c") moved the function to another file.
2011-06-28ext4: refactor duplicated block placement codeEric Sandeen1-27/+1
I found that ext4_ext_find_goal() and ext4_find_near() share the same code for returning a coloured start block based on i_block_group. We can refactor this into a common function so that they don't diverge in the future. Thanks to adilger for suggesting the new function name.

2011-06-27ext4: move ext4_ind_* functions from inode.c to indirect.cAmir Goldstein1-0/+1510
This patch moves functions from inode.c to indirect.c. The moved functions are ext4_ind_* functions and their helpers. Functions called from inode.c are declared extern. Signed-off-by: Amir Goldstein <amir73il@users.sf.net> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
