[ Upstream commit af8c53c8bc087459b1aadd4c94805d8272358d79 ]

If userspace asked fsmap to try to count the number of entries, we cannot
return more than UINT_MAX entries because fmh_entries is u32.
Therefore, stop counting if we hit this limit or else we will waste time
to return truncated results.

[ Upstream commit 5b3dc19dda6691e8ab574e8eede1aef6f02a4f1c ]

ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations() can be releasing group lock with
preallocations accumulated on its local list. Thus although
discard_pa_seq was incremented and concurrent allocating processes will
be retrying allocations, it can happen that premature ENOSPC error is
returned because blocks used for preallocations are not available for
reuse yet. Make sure we always free locally accumulated preallocations
before releasing group lock.

As we test disk offline/online with running fsstress, we find fsstress
process is keeping running state.

repeat:
        ext4_mb_discard_preallocations_should_retry(sb, ac, &amp;seq)
                freed = ext4_mb_discard_preallocations
                        ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations
                                this_cpu_inc(discard_pa_seq);
                ---&gt; freed == 0
                seq_retry = ext4_get_discard_pa_seq_sum
                        for_each_possible_cpu(__cpu)
                                __seq += per_cpu(discard_pa_seq, __cpu);
                if (seq_retry != *seq) {
                        *seq = seq_retry;
                        ret = true;
                }

As we see seq_retry is sum of discard_pa_seq every cpu, if
ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations return zero discard_pa_seq in this
cpu maybe increase one, so condition "seq_retry != *seq" have always
been met.
Ritesh Harjani suggest to in ext4_mb_discard_group_preallocations function we
only increase discard_pa_seq when there is some PA to free.

[ Upstream commit 27bc446e2def38db3244a6eb4bb1d6312936610a ]

In the scenario of writing sparse files, the per-inode prealloc list may
be very long, resulting in high overhead for ext4_mb_use_preallocated().
To circumvent this problem, we limit the maximum length of per-inode
prealloc list to 512 and allow users to modify it.

After patching, we observed that the sys ratio of cpu has dropped, and
the system throughput has increased significantly. We created a process
to write the sparse file, and the running time of the process on the
fixed kernel was significantly reduced, as follows:

Running time on unfixed kernel：
[root@TENCENT64 ~]# time taskset 0x01 ./sparse /data1/sparce.dat
real    0m2.051s
user    0m0.008s
sys     0m2.026s

Running time on fixed kernel：
[root@TENCENT64 ~]# time taskset 0x01 ./sparse /data1/sparce.dat
real    0m0.471s
user    0m0.004s
sys     0m0.395s

[ Upstream commit 377254b2cd2252c7c3151b113cbdf93a7736c2e9 ]

If a device is hot-removed --- for example, when a physical device is
unplugged from pcie slot or a nbd device's network is shutdown ---
this can result in a BUG_ON() crash in submit_bh_wbc().  This is
because the when the block device dies, the buffer heads will have
their Buffer_Mapped flag get cleared, leading to the crash in
submit_bh_wbc.

We had attempted to work around this problem in commit a17712c8
("ext4: check superblock mapped prior to committing").  Unfortunately,
it's still possible to hit the BUG_ON(!buffer_mapped(bh)) if the
device dies between when the work-around check in ext4_commit_super()
and when submit_bh_wbh() is finally called:

Code path:
ext4_commit_super
    judge if 'buffer_mapped(sbh)' is false, return &lt;== commit a17712c8

                        judge if 'buffer_mapped(sbh))' is false, return &lt;== added by this patch
                            submit_bh(...,sbh)

To address this, add the check of 'buffer_mapped(bh)' to
__sync_dirty_buffer().  This also has the benefit of fixing this for
other file systems.

With this addition, we can drop the workaround in ext4_commit_supper().

[ Upstream commit 0f5bde1db174f6c471f0bd27198575719dabe3e5 ]

When remounting filesystem fails late during remount handling and
block_validity mount option is also changed during the remount, we fail
to restore system zone information to a state matching the mount option.
This is mostly harmless, just the block validity checking will not match
the situation described by the mount option. Make sure these two are always
consistent.

[ Upstream commit f25391ebb475d3ffb3aa61bb90e3594c841749ef ]

Currently there is a problem with mount options that can be both set by
vfs using mount flags or by a string parsing in ext4.

i_version/iversion options gets lost after remount, for example

$ mount -o i_version /dev/pmem0 /mnt
$ grep pmem0 /proc/self/mountinfo | grep i_version
310 95 259:0 / /mnt rw,relatime shared:163 - ext4 /dev/pmem0 rw,seclabel,i_version
$ mount -o remount,ro /mnt
$ grep pmem0 /proc/self/mountinfo | grep i_version

nolazytime gets ignored by ext4 on remount, for example

$ mount -o lazytime /dev/pmem0 /mnt
$ grep pmem0 /proc/self/mountinfo | grep lazytime
310 95 259:0 / /mnt rw,relatime shared:163 - ext4 /dev/pmem0 rw,lazytime,seclabel
$ mount -o remount,nolazytime /mnt
$ grep pmem0 /proc/self/mountinfo | grep lazytime
310 95 259:0 / /mnt rw,relatime shared:163 - ext4 /dev/pmem0 rw,lazytime,seclabel

Fix it by applying the SB_LAZYTIME and SB_I_VERSION flags from *flags to
s_flags before we parse the option and use the resulting state of the
same flags in *flags at the end of successful remount.

[ Upstream commit bc71726c725767205757821df364acff87f92ac5 ]

There is a risk of filesystem inconsistency if we failed to async write
back metadata buffer in the background. Because of current buffer's end
io procedure is handled by end_buffer_async_write() in the block layer,
and it only clear the buffer's uptodate flag and mark the write_io_error
flag, so ext4 cannot detect such failure immediately. In most cases of
getting metadata buffer (e.g. ext4_read_inode_bitmap()), although the
buffer's data is actually uptodate, it may still read data from disk
because the buffer's uptodate flag has been cleared. Finally, it may
lead to on-disk filesystem inconsistency if reading old data from the
disk successfully and write them out again.

This patch detect bdev mapping-&gt;wb_err when getting journal's write
access and mark the filesystem error if bdev's mapping-&gt;wb_err was
increased, this could prevent further writing and potential
inconsistency.
