fs: push i_mutex and filemap_write_and_wait down into ->fsync() handlers Btrfs needs to be able to control how filemap_write_and_wait_range() is called in fsync to make it less of a painful operation, so push down taking i_mutex and the calling of filemap_write_and_wait() down into the ->fsync() handlers. Some file systems can drop taking the i_mutex altogether it seems, like ext3 and ocfs2. For correctness sake I just pushed everything down in all cases to make sure that we keep the current behavior the same for everybody, and then each individual fs maintainer can make up their mind about what to do from there.

ext4: fix waiting and sending of a barrier in ext4_sync_file() jbd2_log_start_commit() returns 1 only when we really start a transaction. But we also need to wait for a transaction when the commit is already running. Fix this problem by waiting for transaction commit unconditionally (which is just a quick check if the transaction is already committed). Also we have to be more careful with sending of a barrier because when transaction is being committed in parallel to ext4_sync_file() running, we cannot be sure that the barrier the journalling code sends happens after we wrote all the data for fsync (note that not every data writeout needs to trigger metadata changes thus commit of some metadata changes can be running while other data is still written out). So use jbd2_will_send_data_barrier() helper to detect the common cases when we can be sure barrier will be issued by the commit code and issue the barrier ourselves in the remaining cases.

ext4: sync the directory inode in ext4_sync_parent() ext4 has taken the stance that, in the absence of a journal, when an fsync/fdatasync of an inode is done, the parent directory should be sync'ed if this inode entry is new. ext4_sync_parent(), which implements this, does indeed sync the dirent pages for parent directories, but it does not sync the directory *inode*. This patch fixes this. Also now return error status from ext4_sync_parent(). I tested this using a power fail test, which panics a machine running a file server getting requests from a client. Without this patch, on about every other test run, the server is missing many, many files that had been synced. With this patch, on > 6 runs, I see zero files being lost.

But we also need to wait for a transaction when the commit is already running.

Also we have to be more careful with sending of a barrier because when transaction is being committed in parallel to ext4_sync_file() running, we cannot be sure that the barrier the journalling code sends happens after we wrote all the data for fsync (note that not every data writeout needs to trigger metadata changes thus commit of some metadata changes can be running while other data is still written out).

ext4/jbd2: don't wait (forever) for stale tid caused by wraparound In the case where an inode has a very stale transaction id (tid) in i_datasync_tid or i_sync_tid, it's possible that after a very large (2**31) number of transactions, that the tid number space might wrap, causing tid_geq()'s calculations to fail. Commit deeeaf13 "jbd2: fix fsync() tid wraparound bug", later modified by commit e7b04ac0 "jbd2: don't wake kjournald unnecessarily", attempted to fix this problem, but it only avoided kjournald spinning forever by fixing the logic in jbd2_log_start_commit(). Unfortunately, in the codepaths in fs/ext4/fsync.c and fs/ext4/inode.c that might call jbd2_log_start_commit() with a stale tid, those functions will subsequently call jbd2_log_wait_commit() with the same stale tid, and then wait for a very long time. To fix this, we replace the calls to jbd2_log_start_commit() and jbd2_log_wait_commit() with a call to a new function, jbd2_complete_transaction(), which will correctly handle stale tid's. As a bonus, jbd2_complete_transaction() will avoid locking j_state_lock for writing unless a commit needs to be started. This should have a small (but probably not measurable) improvement for ext4's scalability.
