Add multiple KUnit tests to test various permutations of extent
splitting and conversion.
We test the following cases:
1. Split of unwritten extent into 2 parts and convert 1 part to written
2. Split of unwritten extent into 3 parts and convert 1 part to written
3. Split of written extent into 2 parts and convert 1 part to unwritten
4. Split of written extent into 3 parts and convert 1 part to unwritten
5. Zeroout fallback for all the above cases except 3-4 because zeroout
is not supported for written to unwritten splits
The main function we test here is ext4_split_convert_extents().
Currently some of the tests are failing due to issues in implementation.
All failures are mitigated at other layers in ext4 [1] but still point
out the mismatch in expectation of what the caller wants vs what the
function does.
The aim is to eventually fix all the failures we see here. More detailed
implementation notes can be found in the topmost commit in the test
file.
[1] for example, EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_CONVERT doesn't really convert the
split extent to written, but rather the callers end up doing the
conversion.

Currently we don't used mballoc optimized scanning (using max free
extent order and avg free extent order group lists) for inodes with
indirect block based format. This is confusing for users and I don't see
a good reason for that. Even with indirect block based inode format we
can spend big amount of time searching for free blocks for large
filesystems with fragmented free space. To add to the confusion before
commit 077d0c2c78 ("ext4: make mb_optimize_scan performance mount
option work with extents") optimized scanning was applied *only* to
indirect block based inodes so that commit appears as a performance
regression to some users. Just use optimized scanning whenever it is
enabled by mount options.

For filesystems with more than 2^32 blocks inodes using indirect block
based format cannot use blocks beyond the 32-bit limit.
ext4_mb_scan_groups_linear() takes care to not select these unsupported
groups for such inodes however other functions selecting groups for
allocation don't. So far this is harmless because the other selection
functions are used only with mb_optimize_scan and this is currently
disabled for inodes with indirect blocks however in the following patch
we want to enable mb_optimize_scan regardless of inode format.

fstests test generic/388 occasionally reproduces a warning in
ext4_put_super() associated with the dirty clusters count:
WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 76064 at fs/ext4/super.c:1324 ext4_put_super+0x48c/0x590 [ext4]
Tracing the failure shows that the warning fires due to an
s_dirtyclusters_counter value of -1. IOW, this appears to be a
spurious decrement as opposed to some sort of leak. Further tracing
of the dirty cluster count deltas and an LLM scan of the resulting
output identified the cause as a double decrement in the error path
between ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used() and the caller
ext4_mb_new_blocks().
First, note that generic/388 is a shutdown vs. fsstress test and so
produces a random set of operations and shutdown injections. In the
problematic case, the shutdown triggers an error return from the
ext4_handle_dirty_metadata() call(s) made from
ext4_mb_mark_context(). The changed value is non-zero at this point,
so ext4_mb_mark_diskspace_used() does not exit after the error
bubbles up from ext4_mb_mark_context(). Instead, the former
decrements both cluster counters and returns the error up to
ext4_mb_new_blocks(). The latter falls into the !ar->len out path
which decrements the dirty clusters counter a second time, creating
the inconsistency.
To avoid this problem and simplify ownership of the cluster
reservation in this codepath, lift the counter reduction to a single
place in the caller. This makes it more clear that
ext4_mb_new_blocks() is responsible for acquiring cluster
reservation (via ext4_claim_free_clusters()) in the !delalloc case
as well as releasing it, regardless of whether it ends up consumed
or returned due to failure.

A bitmap inconsistency issue was observed during stress tests under
mixed huge-page workloads. Ext4 reported multiple e4b bitmap check
failures like:
ext4_mb_complex_scan_group:2508: group 350, 8179 free clusters as
per group info. But got 8192 blocks
Analysis and experimentation confirmed that the issue is caused by a
race condition between page migration and bitmap modification. Although
this timing window is extremely narrow, it is still hit in practice:
folio_lock ext4_mb_load_buddy
__migrate_folio
check ref count
folio_mc_copy __filemap_get_folio
folio_try_get(folio)
......
mb_mark_used
ext4_mb_unload_buddy
__folio_migrate_mapping
folio_ref_freeze
folio_unlock
The root cause of this issue is that the fast path of load_buddy only
increments the folio's reference count, which is insufficient to prevent
concurrent folio migration. We observed that the folio migration process
acquires the folio lock. Therefore, we can determine whether to take the
fast path in load_buddy by checking the lock status. If the folio is
locked, we opt for the slow path (which acquires the lock) to close this
concurrency window.
Additionally, this change addresses the following issues:
When the DOUBLE_CHECK macro is enabled to inspect bitmap-related
issues, the following error may be triggered:
corruption in group 324 at byte 784(6272): f in copy != ff on
disk/prealloc
Analysis reveals that this is a false positive. There is a specific race
window where the bitmap and the group descriptor become momentarily
inconsistent, leading to this error report:
ext4_mb_load_buddy ext4_mb_load_buddy
__filemap_get_folio(create|lock)
folio_lock
ext4_mb_init_cache
folio_mark_uptodate
__filemap_get_folio(no lock)
......
mb_mark_used
mb_mark_used_double
mb_cmp_bitmaps
mb_set_bits(e4b->bd_bitmap)
folio_unlock
The original logic assumed that since mb_cmp_bitmaps is called when the
bitmap is newly loaded from disk, the folio lock would be sufficient to
prevent concurrent access. However, this overlooks a specific race
condition: if another process attempts to load buddy and finds the folio
is already in an uptodate state, it will immediately begin using it without
holding folio lock.

ext4_iomap_overwrite_ops was introduced in commit 8cd115bdda ("ext4:
Optimize ext4 DIO overwrites"), which can optimize pure overwrite
performance by dropping the IOMAP_WRITE flag to only query the mapped
mapping information. This avoids starting a new journal handle, thereby
improving speed. Later, commit 9faac62d40 ("ext4: optimize file
overwrites") also optimized similar scenarios, but it performs the check
later, examining the mappings status only when the actual block mapping
is needed. Thus, it can handle the previous commit scenario. That means
in the case of an overwrite scenario, the condition
"offset + length <= i_size_read(inode)" in the write path must always be
true.
Therefore, it is acceptable to remove the ext4_iomap_overwrite_ops,
which will also clarify the write and read paths of ext4_iomap_begin.

Currently, when writing back dirty pages to the filesystem with the
dioread_nolock feature enabled and when doing DIO, if the area to be
written back is part of an unwritten extent, the
EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_IO_CREATE_EXT flag is set during block allocation before
submitting I/O. The function ext4_split_convert_extents() then attempts
to split this extent in advance. This approach is designed to prevents
extent splitting and conversion to the written type from failing due to
insufficient disk space at the time of I/O completion, which could
otherwise result in data loss.
However, we already have two mechanisms to ensure successful extent
conversion. The first is the EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_METADATA_NOFAIL flag, which
is a best effort, it permits the use of 2% of the reserved space or
4,096 blocks in the file system when splitting extents. This flag covers
most scenarios where extent splitting might fail. The second is the
EXT4_EXT_MAY_ZEROOUT flag, which is also set during extent splitting. If
the reserved space is insufficient and splitting fails, it does not
retry the allocation. Instead, it directly zeros out the extra part of
the extent, thereby avoiding splitting and directly converting the
entire extent to the written type.
These two mechanisms also exist when I/Os are completed because there is
a concurrency window between write-back and fallocate, which may still
require us to split extents upon I/O completion. There is no much
difference between splitting extents before submitting I/O. Therefore,
It seems possible to defer the splitting until I/O completion, it won't
increase the risk of I/O failure and data loss. On the contrary, if some
I/Os can be merged when I/O completion, it can also reduce unnecessary
splitting operations, thereby alleviating the pressure on reserved
space.
In addition, deferring extent splitting until I/O completion can
also simplify the IO submission process and avoid initiating unnecessary
journal handles when writing unwritten extents.

When performing buffered writes, we may need to split and convert an
unwritten extent into a written one during the end I/O process. However,
we do not reserve space specifically for these metadata changes, we only
reserve 2% of space or 4096 blocks. To address this, we use
EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_PRE_IO to potentially split extents in advance and
EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_METADATA_NOFAIL to utilize reserved space if necessary.
These two approaches can reduce the likelihood of running out of space
and losing data. However, these methods are merely best efforts, we
could still run out of space, and there is not much difference between
converting an extent during the writeback process and the end I/O
process, it won't increase the risk of losing data if we postpone the
conversion.
Therefore, also use EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_METADATA_NOFAIL in
ext4_convert_unwritten_extents_endio() to prepare for the buffered I/O
iomap conversion, which may perform extent conversion during the end I/O
process.

When zeroing out a written partial block, it is necessary to order the
data to prevent exposing stale data on disk. However, if the buffer is
unwritten or delayed, it is not allocated as written, so ordering the
data is not required. This can prevent strange and unnecessary ordered
writes when appending data across a region within a block.
Assume we have a 2K unwritten file on a filesystem with 4K blocksize,
and buffered write from 3K to 4K. Before this patch,
__ext4_block_zero_page_range() would add the range [2k,3k) to the
ordered range, and then the JBD2 commit process would write back this
block. However, it does nothing since the block is not mapped as
written, this folio will be redirtied and written back agian through the
normal write back process.

Fast commits only log operations that have dedicated replay support.
Inode format migration (indirect<->extent layout changes via
EXT4_IOC_MIGRATE or toggling EXT4_EXTENTS_FL) rewrites the block mapping
representation without going through the fast commit tracking paths.
In practice these migrations 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 when
ext4_ext_migrate() or ext4_ind_migrate() start their journal transactions.
This forces those transactions to fall back to a full commit, ensuring
that the entire inode layout change is captured by the normal journal
rather than partially encoded in fast commit TLVs. This change should
not affect common workloads but makes format migrations safer and easier
to reason about under fast commit.
Testing:
1. prepare:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/root/fc.img bs=1M count=0 seek=128
mkfs.ext4 -O fast_commit -F /root/fc.img
mkdir -p /mnt/fc && mount -t ext4 -o loop /root/fc.img /mnt/fc
2. Created a test file and toggled the extents flag to exercise both
ext4_ind_migrate() and ext4_ext_migrate():
touch /mnt/fc/migtest
chattr -e /mnt/fc/migtest
chattr +e /mnt/fc/migtest
3. Verified fast-commit ineligible statistics:

In ext4, the remaining places for inserting extents into the extent
status tree within ext4_ext_determine_insert_hole() and

ext4_es_cache_extent() instead of ext4_es_insert_extent() in these

Currently, ext4_es_cache_extent() is used to load extents into the
extent status tree when reading on-disk extent blocks. But it inserts
information into the extent status tree if and only if there isn't
information about the specified range already. So it only used for the
initial loading and does not support overwrit extents.
However, there are many other places in ext4 where on-disk extents are
inserted into the extent status tree, such as in ext4_map_query_blocks().
Currently, they call ext4_es_insert_extent() to perform the insertion,
but they don't modify the extents, so ext4_es_cache_extent() would be a
more appropriate choice. However, when ext4_map_query_blocks() inserts
an extent, it may overwrite a short existing extent of the same type.
Therefore, to prepare for the replacements, we need to extend
ext4_es_cache_extent() to allow it to overwrite existing extents with
the same status. So it checks the found extents before removing and
inserting. (There is one exception, a hole in the on-disk extent but a
delayed extent in the extent status tree is allowed.)
In addition, since cached extents can be more lenient than the extents
they modify and do not involve modifying reserved blocks, it is not
necessary to ensure that the insertion operation succeeds as strictly as
in the ext4_es_insert_extent() function.

Caching extents during the splitting process is risky, as it may result
in stale extents remaining in the status tree. Moreover, in most cases,
the corresponding extent block entries are likely already cached before
the split happens, making caching here not particularly useful.
Assume we have an unwritten extent, and then DIO writes the first half.
[UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU] on-disk extent U: unwritten extent
[UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU] extent status tree
|<- ->| ----> dio write this range
First, when ext4_split_extent_at() splits this extent, it truncates the
existing extent and then inserts a new one. During this process, this
extent status entry may be shrunk, and calls to ext4_find_extent() and
ext4_cache_extents() may occur, which could potentially insert the
truncated range as a hole into the extent status tree. After the split
is completed, this hole is not replaced with the correct status.
[UUUUUUU|UUUUUUUU] on-disk extent U: unwritten extent
[UUUUUUU|HHHHHHHH] extent status tree H: hole
Then, the outer calling functions will not correct this remaining hole
extent either. Finally, if we perform a delayed buffer write on this
latter part, it will re-insert the delayed extent and cause an error in
space accounting.
In adition, if the unwritten extent cache is not shrunk during the
splitting, ext4_cache_extents() also conflicts with existing extents
when caching extents. In the future, we will add checks when caching
extents, which will trigger a warning. Therefore, Do not cache extents
that are being split.

Assume we have an unwritten extent, and then DIO writes the second half.

First, ext4_iomap_alloc() call ext4_map_blocks() with

Then, ext4_split_convert_extents() calls ext4_split_extent() with

When splitting an extent, if the EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_CONVERT flag is set and
it is necessary to split the target extent in the middle,
ext4_split_extent() first handles splitting the latter half of the
extent and passes the EXT4_EXT_DATA_VALID1 flag. This flag implies that
all blocks before the split point contain valid data; however, this
assumption is incorrect.
Therefore, subdivid EXT4_EXT_DATA_VALID1 into
EXT4_EXT_DATA_ENTIRE_VALID1 and EXT4_EXT_DATA_PARTIAL_VALID1, which
indicate that the first half of the extent is either entirely valid or
only partially valid, respectively. These two flags cannot be set
simultaneously.
This patch does not use EXT4_EXT_DATA_PARTIAL_VALID1, it only replaces

The padding at the end of struct ext4_tune_sb_params is architecture
specific and in particular is different between x86-32 and x86-64,
since the __u64 member only enforces struct alignment on the latter.
This shows up as a new warning when test-building the headers with
-Wpadded:
include/linux/ext4.h:144:1: error: padding struct size to alignment boundary with 4 bytes [-Werror=padded]
All members inside the structure are naturally aligned, so the only
difference here is the amount of padding at the end. Make the padding
explicit, to have a consistent sizeof(struct ext4_tune_sb_params) of
232 on all architectures and avoid adding compat ioctl handling for
EXT4_IOC_GET_TUNE_SB_PARAM/EXT4_IOC_SET_TUNE_SB_PARAM.
This is an ABI break on x86-32 but hopefully this can go into 6.18.y early
enough as a fixup so no actual users will be affected. Alternatively, the
kernel could handle the ioctl commands for both sizes (232 and 228 bytes)
on all architectures.

PM: sleep: Fix suspend_test() at the TEST_CORE level
Fix the kunit_run_irq_test() function (which I recently added for the
CRC and crypto tests) to be less timing-dependent. This fixes flakiness
in the polyval kunit test suite.

kunit: Enforce task execution in {soft,hard}irq contexts
- Fix several syzkaller found bugs:
* Poor parsing of the RDMA_NL_LS_OP_IP_RESOLVE netlink
* GID entry refcount leaking when CM destruction races with multicast
establishment
* Missing refcount put in ib_del_sub_device_and_put()
- Fixup recently introduced uABI padding for 32 bit consistency
- Avoid user triggered math overflow in MANA and AFA
- Reading invalid netdev data during an event
- kdoc fixes
- Fix never-working gid copying in ib_get_gids_from_rdma_hdr
- Typo in bnxt when validating the BAR
- bnxt mis-parsed IB_SEND_IP_CSUM so it didn't work always
- bnxt out of bounds access in bnxt related to the counters on new devices
- Allocate the bnxt PDE table with the right sizing
- Use dma_free_coherent() correctly in bnxt
- Allow rxe to be unloadable when CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING by adjusting the
tracking of the global sockets it uses
- Missing unlocking on error path in rxe
- Compute the right number of pages in a MR in rtrs
