ext4: improve fast_commit performance and scalability Currently ext4_fc_commit_dentry_updates() is of quadratic time complexity, which is causing performance bottlenecks with high threads/file/dir count with fs_mark.

ext4: fix rename whiteout with fast commit This patch adds rename whiteout support in fast commits. Note that the whiteout object that gets created is actually char device. Which imples, the function ext4_inode_journal_mode(struct inode *inode) would return "JOURNAL_DATA" for this inode. This has a consequence in fast commit code that it will make creation of the whiteout object a fast-commit ineligible behavior and thus will fall back to full commits. With this patch, this can be observed by running fast commits with rename whiteout and seeing the stats generated by ext4_fc_stats tracepoint as follows: ext4_fc_stats: dev 254:32 fc ineligible reasons: XATTR:0, CROSS_RENAME:0, JOURNAL_FLAG_CHANGE:0, NO_MEM:0, SWAP_BOOT:0, RESIZE:0, RENAME_DIR:0, FALLOC_RANGE:0, INODE_JOURNAL_DATA:16; num_commits:6, ineligible: 6, numblks: 3 So in short, this patch guarantees that in case of rename whiteout, we fall back to full commits. Amir mentioned that instead of creating a new whiteout object for every rename, we can create a static whiteout object with irrelevant nlink. That will make fast commits to not fall back to full commit. But until this happens, this patch will ensure correctness by falling back to full commits.

ext4: fix off-by-one errors in fast-commit block filling Due to several different off-by-one errors, or perhaps due to a late change in design that wasn't fully reflected in the code that was actually merged, there are several very strange constraints on how fast-commit blocks are filled with tlv entries: - tlvs must start at least 10 bytes before the end of the block, even though the minimum tlv length is 8. Otherwise, the replay code will ignore them. (BUG: ext4_fc_reserve_space() could violate this requirement if called with a len of blocksize - 9 or blocksize - 8. Fortunately, this doesn't seem to happen currently.) - tlvs must end at least 1 byte before the end of the block. Otherwise the replay code will consider them to be invalid. This quirk contributed to a bug (fixed by an earlier commit) where uninitialized memory was being leaked to disk in the last byte of blocks. Also, strangely these constraints don't apply to the replay code in e2fsprogs, which will accept any tlvs in the blocks (with no bounds checks at all, but that is a separate issue...). Given that this all seems to be a bug, let's fix it by just filling blocks with tlv entries in the natural way. Note that old kernels will be unable to replay fast-commit journals created by kernels that have this commit.

ext4: fix off-by-one errors in fast-commit block filling Due to several different off-by-one errors, or perhaps due to a late change in design that wasn't fully reflected in the code that was actually merged, there are several very strange constraints on how fast-commit blocks are filled with tlv entries: - tlvs must start at least 10 bytes before the end of the block, even though the minimum tlv length is 8. Otherwise, the replay code will ignore them. (BUG: ext4_fc_reserve_space() could violate this requirement if called with a len of blocksize - 9 or blocksize - 8. Fortunately, this doesn't seem to happen currently.) - tlvs must end at least 1 byte before the end of the block. Otherwise the replay code will consider them to be invalid. This quirk contributed to a bug (fixed by an earlier commit) where uninitialized memory was being leaked to disk in the last byte of blocks. Also, strangely these constraints don't apply to the replay code in e2fsprogs, which will accept any tlvs in the blocks (with no bounds checks at all, but that is a separate issue...). Given that this all seems to be a bug, let's fix it by just filling blocks with tlv entries in the natural way. Note that old kernels will be unable to replay fast-commit journals created by kernels that have this commit.

ext4: improve fast_commit performance and scalability Currently ext4_fc_commit_dentry_updates() is of quadratic time complexity, which is causing performance bottlenecks with high threads/file/dir count with fs_mark.
