182f514f88 ext4: remove useless s_dirt assignment
Clean-up ext4 a tiny bit by removing useless s_dirt assignment in
'ext4_fill_super()' because a bit later we anyway call
'ext4_setup_super()' which writes the superblock to the media
unconditionally.

a8e25a8324 ext4: write superblock only once on unmount
In some rather rare cases it is possible that ext4 may the superblock
to the media twice. This patch makes sure this does not happen. This
should speed up unmounting in those cases.

c7198b9c1e ext4: ignore mount options supported by ext2/3 (but have since been removed)
Users who tried to use the ext4 file system driver is being used for
the ext2 or ext3 file systems (via the CONFIG_EXT4_USE_FOR_EXT23
option) could have failed mounts if their /etc/fstab contains options
recognized by ext2 or ext3 but which have since been removed in ext4.

So teach ext4 to recognize them and give a warning that the mount
option was removed.

Now that /proc/mounts is consistently showing only those mount options

d50f2ab6f0 ext4: fix undefined behavior in ext4_fill_flex_info()
Commit 503358ae01 ("ext4: avoid divide by
zero when trying to mount a corrupted file system") fixes CVE-2009-4307
by performing a sanity check on s_log_groups_per_flex, since it can be
set to a bogus value by an attacker.

	sbi->s_log_groups_per_flex = sbi->s_es->s_log_groups_per_flex;
	groups_per_flex = 1 << sbi->s_log_groups_per_flex;

	if (groups_per_flex < 2) { ... }

This patch fixes two potential issues in the previous commit.

1) The sanity check might only work on architectures like PowerPC.
On x86, 5 bits are used for the shifting amount.  That means, given a
large s_log_groups_per_flex value like 36, groups_per_flex = 1 << 36
is essentially 1 << 4 = 16, rather than 0.  This will bypass the check,
leaving s_log_groups_per_flex and groups_per_flex inconsistent.

2) The sanity check relies on undefined behavior, i.e., oversized shift.
A standard-confirming C compiler could rewrite the check in unexpected
ways.  Consider the following equivalent form, assuming groups_per_flex
is unsigned for simplicity.

	groups_per_flex = 1 << sbi->s_log_groups_per_flex;
	if (groups_per_flex == 0 || groups_per_flex == 1) {

We compile the code snippet using Clang 3.0 and GCC 4.6.  Clang will
completely optimize away the check groups_per_flex == 0, leaving the
patched code as vulnerable as the original.  GCC keeps the check, but
there is no guarantee that future versions will do the same.

* Update try_to_freeze() to return bool and relay the return value of

* Convert all refrigerator() users to try_to_freeze().

* Update documentation accordingly.

6f91bc5fda ext4: optimize ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized()
This patch introduces a fast path in ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized()
for the case when the conversion can be performed by transferring
the newly initialized blocks from the uninitialized extent into
an adjacent initialized extent. Doing so removes the expensive
invocations of memmove() which occur during extent insertion and
the subsequent merge.

In practice this should be the common case for clients performing
append writes into files pre-allocated via
fallocate(FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE). In such a workload performed via
direct IO and when using a suboptimal implementation of memmove()
(x86_64 prior to the 2.6.39 rewrite), this patch reduces kernel CPU
consumption by 32%.

Two new trace points are added to ext4_ext_convert_to_initialized()
to offer visibility into its operations. No exit trace point has
been added due to the multiplicity of return points. This can be
revisited once the upstream cleanup is backported.

delalloc or dioread_nolock and data=journal, fail the mount, instead
of printing a warning and continuing (since many user's won't look at
dmesg and notice the warning).

Also, print a single warning that data=journal implies that delayed
allocation is not on by default (since it's not supported), and
furthermore that O_DIRECT is not supported.  Improve the text in
Documentation/filesystems/ext4.txt so this is clear there as well.

Similarly, if the dioread_nolock mount option is specified when the
file system block size != PAGE_SIZE, fail the mount instead of
printing a warning message and ignoring the mount option.

2581fdc810 ext4: call ext4_ioend_wait and ext4_flush_completed_IO in ext4_evict_inode
Flush inode's i_completed_io_list before calling ext4_io_wait to
prevent the following deadlock scenario: A page fault happens while
some process is writing inode A. During page fault,
shrink_icache_memory is called that in turn evicts another inode
B. Inode B has some pending io_end work so it calls ext4_ioend_wait()
that waits for inode B's i_ioend_count to become zero. However, inode
B's ioend work was queued behind some of inode A's ioend work on the
same cpu's ext4-dio-unwritten workqueue. As the ext4-dio-unwritten
thread on that cpu is processing inode A's ioend work, it tries to
grab inode A's i_mutex lock. Since the i_mutex lock of inode A is
still hold before the page fault happened, we enter a deadlock.

Also moves ext4_flush_completed_IO and ext4_ioend_wait from
ext4_destroy_inode() to ext4_evict_inode(). During inode deleteion,
ext4_evict_inode() is called before ext4_destroy_inode() and in
ext4_evict_inode(), we may call ext4_truncate() without holding
i_mutex lock. As a result, there is a race between flush_completed_IO
that is called from ext4_ext_truncate() and ext4_end_io_work, which
may cause corruption on an io_end structure. This change moves
ext4_flush_completed_IO and ext4_ioend_wait from ext4_destroy_inode()
to ext4_evict_inode() to resolve the race between ext4_truncate() and
ext4_end_io_work during inode deletion.

db9481c047 ext4: use kzalloc in ext4_kzalloc()
Commit 9933fc0i (ext4: introduce ext4_kvmalloc(), ext4_kzalloc(), and
ext4_kvfree()) intruduced wrappers around k*alloc/vmalloc but introduced
a typo for ext4_kzalloc() by not using kzalloc() but kmalloc().
