A crash issue was reported by John Lightsey with a call trace as follows:

  vfs_write+0xb8/0x1b0
  SyS_write+0x4f/0xb0
  system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x75

The BUG code told that extent tree wants to grow but no metadata was
reserved ahead of time.  From my investigation into this issue, the root
cause it that although enough metadata is not reserved, there should be
enough for following use.  Rightmost extent is merged into its left one
due to a certain times of marking extent written.  Because during
marking extent written, we got many physically continuous extents.  At
last, an empty extent showed up and the rightmost path is removed from
extent tree.

Add a new mechanism to reuse extent block cached in dealloc which were
just unlinked from extent tree to solve this crash issue.

Criteria is that during marking extents *written*, if extent rotation
and merging results in unlinking extent with growing extent tree later
without any metadata reserved ahead of time, try to reuse those extents
in dealloc in which deleted extents are cached.

Also, this patch addresses the issue John reported that ::dw_zero_count
is not calculated properly.

After applying this patch, the issue John reported was gone.  Thanks for
the reproducer provided by John.  And this patch has passed
ocfs2-test(29 cases) suite running by New H3C Group.

<title>ocfs2: retry on ENOSPC if sufficient space in truncate log</title>

The testcase "mmaptruncate" in ocfs2 test suite always fails with ENOSPC
error on small volume (say less than 10G).  This testcase repeatedly
performs "extend" and "truncate" on a file.  Continuously, it truncates
the file to 1/2 of the size, and then extends to 100% of the size.  The
main bitmap will quickly run out of space because the "truncate" code
prevent truncate log from being flushed by
ocfs2_schedule_truncate_log_flush(osb, 1), while truncate log may have
cached lots of clusters.

So retry to allocate after flushing truncate log when ENOSPC is
returned.  And we cannot reuse the deleted blocks before the transaction
committed.  Fortunately, we already have a function to do this -
ocfs2_try_to_free_truncate_log().  Just need to remove the "static"
modifier and put it into the right place.

The "unlock"/"lock" code isn't elegant, but there seems to be no better
option.

<title>ocfs2: reflink: fix slow unlink for refcounted file</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f62f12b3a426c8f65b10011b1ec40ba4277cbf5f</id>
<content type='text'>
When running ocfs2 test suite multiple nodes reflink stress test, for a
4 nodes cluster, every unlink() for refcounted file needs about 700s.

The slow unlink is caused by the contention of refcount tree lock since
all nodes are unlink files using the same refcount tree.  When the
unlinking file have many extents(over 1600 in our test), most of the
extents has refcounted flag set.  In ocfs2_commit_truncate(), it will
execute the following call trace for every extents.  This means it needs
get and released refcount tree lock about 1600 times.  And when several
nodes are do this at the same time, the performance will be very low.

  ocfs2_remove_btree_range()
  --  ocfs2_lock_refcount_tree()
  ----  ocfs2_refcount_lock()
  ------  __ocfs2_cluster_lock()

ocfs2_refcount_lock() is costly, move it to ocfs2_commit_truncate() to
do lock/unlock once can improve a lot performance.

Tristan Ye has done some refactoring against our truncate
process, so some functions like ocfs2_prepare_truncate and
ocfs2_free_truncate_context are no use and we'd better
remove them.

can also be referred by other funcs in the future who want to do the

<title>Ocfs2: Optimize ocfs2 truncate to use ocfs2_remove_btree_range() instead.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:78f94673d7faf01677f374f4ebbf324ff1a0aa6e</id>
<content type='text'>
Truncate is just a special case of punching holes(from new i_size to
end), we therefore could take advantage of the existing
ocfs2_remove_btree_range() to reduce the comlexity and redundancy in
alloc.c.  The goal here is to make truncate more generic and
straightforward.

Several functions only used by ocfs2_commit_truncate() will smiply be
removed.

ocfs2_remove_btree_range() was originally used by the hole punching
code, which didn't take refcount trees into account (definitely a bug).
We therefore need to change that func a bit to handle refcount trees.
It must take the refcount lock, calculate and reserve blocks for
refcount tree changes, and decrease refcounts at the end.  We replace 
ocfs2_lock_allocators() here by adding a new func
ocfs2_reserve_blocks_for_rec_trunc() which accepts some extra blocks to
reserve.  This will not hurt any other code using
ocfs2_remove_btree_range() (such as dir truncate and hole punching).

I merged the following steps into one patch since they may be
logically doing one thing, though I know it looks a little bit fat
to review.

1). Remove redundant code used by ocfs2_commit_truncate(), since we're
    moving to ocfs2_remove_btree_range anyway.

2). Add a new func ocfs2_reserve_blocks_for_rec_trunc() for purpose of
    accepting some extra blocks to reserve.

3). Change ocfs2_prepare_refcount_change_for_del() a bit to fit our
    needs.  It's safe to do this since it's only being called by
    truncate.

4). Change ocfs2_remove_btree_range() a bit to take refcount case into
    account.

5). Finally, we change ocfs2_commit_truncate() to call
    ocfs2_remove_btree_range() in a proper way.

The patch has been tested normally for sanity check, stress tests
with heavier workload will be expected.

Based on this patch, fixing the punching holes bug will be fairly easy.
