include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

ext4: introduce mext_move_extent() When moving extents, the current move_extent_per_page() process can only move extents of length PAGE_SIZE at a time, which is highly inefficient, especially when the fragmentation of the file is not particularly severe, this will result in a large number of unnecessary extent split and merge operations. Moreover, since the ext4 file system now supports large folios, using PAGE_SIZE as the processing unit is no longer practical. Therefore, introduce a new move extents method, mext_move_extent(). It moves one extent of the origin inode at a time, but not exceeding the size of a folio. The parameters for the move are passed through the new mext_data data structure, which includes the origin inode, donor inode, the mapping extent of the origin inode to be moved, and the starting offset of the donor inode. The move process is similar to move_extent_per_page() and can be categorized into three types: MEXT_SKIP_EXTENT, MEXT_MOVE_EXTENT, and MEXT_COPY_DATA. MEXT_SKIP_EXTENT indicates that the corresponding area of the donor file is a hole, meaning no actual space is allocated, so the move is skipped. MEXT_MOVE_EXTENT indicates that the corresponding areas of both the origin and donor files are unwritten, so no data needs to be copied; only the extents are swapped. MEXT_COPY_DATA indicates that the corresponding areas of both the origin and donor files contain data, so data must be copied. The data copying is performed in three steps: first, the data from the original location is read into the page cache; then, the extents are swapped, and the page cache is rebuilt to reflect the index of the physical blocks; finally, the dirty page cache is marked and written back to ensure that the data is written to disk before the metadata is persisted. One important point to note is that the folio lock and i_data_sem are held only during the moving process. Therefore, before moving an extent, it is necessary to check whether the sequence cookie of the area to be moved has changed while holding the folio lock. If a change is detected, it indicates that concurrent write-back operations may have occurred during this period, and the type of the extent to be moved can no longer be considered reliable. For example, it may have changed from unwritten to written. In such cases, return -ESTALE, and the calling function should reacquire the move extent of the original file and retry the movement.

ext4: fix race in buffer_head read fault injection When I enabled ext4 debug for fault injection testing, I encountered the following warning: EXT4-fs error (device sda): ext4_read_inode_bitmap:201: comm fsstress: Cannot read inode bitmap - block_group = 8, inode_bitmap = 1051 WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 511 at fs/buffer.c:1181 mark_buffer_dirty+0x1b3/0x1d0 The root cause of the issue lies in the improper implementation of ext4's buffer_head read fault injection. The actual completion of buffer_head read and the buffer_head fault injection are not atomic, which can lead to the uptodate flag being cleared on normally used buffer_heads in race conditions. [CPU0] [CPU1] [CPU2] ext4_read_inode_bitmap ext4_read_bh() <bh read complete> ext4_read_inode_bitmap if (buffer_uptodate(bh)) return bh jbd2_journal_commit_transaction __jbd2_journal_refile_buffer __jbd2_journal_unfile_buffer __jbd2_journal_temp_unlink_buffer ext4_simulate_fail_bh() clear_buffer_uptodate mark_buffer_dirty <report warning> WARN_ON_ONCE(!buffer_uptodate(bh)) The best approach would be to perform fault injection in the IO completion callback function, rather than after IO completion. However, the IO completion callback function cannot get the fault injection code in sb. Fix it by passing the result of fault injection into the bh read function, we simulate faults within the bh read function itself. This requires adding an extra parameter to the bh read functions that need fault injection.

ext4: introduce mext_move_extent() When moving extents, the current move_extent_per_page() process can only move extents of length PAGE_SIZE at a time, which is highly inefficient, especially when the fragmentation of the file is not particularly severe, this will result in a large number of unnecessary extent split and merge operations. Moreover, since the ext4 file system now supports large folios, using PAGE_SIZE as the processing unit is no longer practical. Therefore, introduce a new move extents method, mext_move_extent(). It moves one extent of the origin inode at a time, but not exceeding the size of a folio. The parameters for the move are passed through the new mext_data data structure, which includes the origin inode, donor inode, the mapping extent of the origin inode to be moved, and the starting offset of the donor inode. The move process is similar to move_extent_per_page() and can be categorized into three types: MEXT_SKIP_EXTENT, MEXT_MOVE_EXTENT, and MEXT_COPY_DATA. MEXT_SKIP_EXTENT indicates that the corresponding area of the donor file is a hole, meaning no actual space is allocated, so the move is skipped. MEXT_MOVE_EXTENT indicates that the corresponding areas of both the origin and donor files are unwritten, so no data needs to be copied; only the extents are swapped. MEXT_COPY_DATA indicates that the corresponding areas of both the origin and donor files contain data, so data must be copied. The data copying is performed in three steps: first, the data from the original location is read into the page cache; then, the extents are swapped, and the page cache is rebuilt to reflect the index of the physical blocks; finally, the dirty page cache is marked and written back to ensure that the data is written to disk before the metadata is persisted. One important point to note is that the folio lock and i_data_sem are held only during the moving process. Therefore, before moving an extent, it is necessary to check whether the sequence cookie of the area to be moved has changed while holding the folio lock. If a change is detected, it indicates that concurrent write-back operations may have occurred during this period, and the type of the extent to be moved can no longer be considered reliable. For example, it may have changed from unwritten to written. In such cases, return -ESTALE, and the calling function should reacquire the move extent of the original file and retry the movement.

Moreover, since the ext4 file system now supports large folios, using PAGE_SIZE as the processing unit is no longer practical. Therefore, introduce a new move extents method, mext_move_extent(). It moves one extent of the origin inode at a time, but not exceeding the size of a folio. The parameters for the move are passed through the new mext_data data structure, which includes the origin inode, donor inode, the mapping extent of the origin inode to be moved, and the starting offset of the donor inode. The move process is similar to move_extent_per_page() and can be categorized into three types: MEXT_SKIP_EXTENT, MEXT_MOVE_EXTENT, and MEXT_COPY_DATA. MEXT_SKIP_EXTENT indicates that the corresponding area of the donor file is a hole, meaning no actual space is allocated, so the move is skipped. MEXT_MOVE_EXTENT indicates that the corresponding areas of both the origin and donor files are unwritten, so no data needs to be copied; only the extents are swapped. MEXT_COPY_DATA indicates that the corresponding areas of both the origin and donor files contain data, so data must be copied. The data copying is performed in three steps: first, the data from the original location is read into the page cache; then, the extents are swapped, and the page cache is rebuilt to reflect the index of the physical blocks; finally, the dirty page cache is marked and written back to ensure that the data is written to disk before the metadata is persisted. One important point to note is that the folio lock and i_data_sem are held only during the moving process. Therefore, before moving an extent, it is necessary to check whether the sequence cookie of the area to be moved has changed while holding the folio lock. If a change is detected, it indicates that concurrent write-back operations may have occurred during this period, and the type of the extent to be moved can no longer be considered reliable. For example, it may have changed from unwritten to written. In such cases, return -ESTALE, and the calling function should reacquire the move extent of the original file and retry the movement.

ext4: mark move extents fast-commit ineligible Fast commits only log operations that have dedicated replay support. EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT swaps extents between regular files and may copy data, rewriting the affected inodes' block mapping layout without going through the fast commit tracking paths. In practice these operations are rare and usually followed by further updates, but mixing them into a fast commit makes the overall semantics harder to reason about and risks replay gaps if new call sites appear. Teach ext4 to mark the filesystem fast-commit ineligible for the journal transactions used by move_extent_per_page() when EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT runs. This forces those transactions to fall back to a full commit, ensuring that these multi-inode extent swaps are captured by the normal journal rather than partially encoded in fast commit TLVs. This change should not affect common workloads but makes online defragmentation safer and easier to reason about under fast commit. Testing: 1. prepare: dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/fc_move.img bs=1M count=0 seek=256 mkfs.ext4 -O fast_commit -F /root/fc_move.img mkdir -p /mnt/fc_move && mount -t ext4 -o loop \ /root/fc_move.img /mnt/fc_move 2. Created two files, ran EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT via e4defrag, and checked the ineligible reason statistics: fallocate -l 64M /mnt/fc_move/file1 cp /mnt/fc_move/file1 /mnt/fc_move/file2 e4defrag /mnt/fc_move/file1 cat /proc/fs/ext4/loop0/fc_info shows "Move extents": > 0 and fc stats ineligible > 0.

ext4: Fix max file size and logical block counting of extent format file Kazuya Mio reported that he was able to hit BUG_ON(next == lblock) in ext4_ext_put_gap_in_cache() while creating a sparse file in extent format and fill the tail of file up to its end. We will hit the BUG_ON when we write the last block (2^32-1) into the sparse file. The root cause of the problem lies in the fact that we specifically set s_maxbytes so that block at s_maxbytes fit into on-disk extent format, which is 32 bit long. However, we are not storing start and end block number, but rather start block number and length in blocks. It means that in order to cover extent from 0 to EXT_MAX_BLOCK we need EXT_MAX_BLOCK+1 to fit into len (because we counting block 0 as well) - and it does not. The only way to fix it without changing the meaning of the struct ext4_extent members is, as Kazuya Mio suggested, to lower s_maxbytes by one fs block so we can cover the whole extent we can get by the on-disk extent format. Also in many places EXT_MAX_BLOCK is used as length instead of maximum logical block number as the name suggests, it is all a bit messy. So this commit renames it to EXT_MAX_BLOCKS and change its usage in some places to actually be maximum number of blocks in the extent. The bug which this commit fixes can be reproduced as follows: dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/file bs=<blocksize> count=1 seek=$((2**32-2)) sync dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/mp1/file bs=<blocksize> count=1 seek=$((2**32-1)) Reported-by: Kazuya Mio <k-mio@sx.jp.nec.com> Signed-off-by: Lukas Czerner <lczerner@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
