If jbd2_journal_restart() fails the handle will have been disconnected
from the current transaction. In this situation, the handle must not
be used for for any jbd2 function other than jbd2_journal_stop().
Enforce this with by treating a handle which has a NULL transaction
pointer as an aborted handle, and issue a kernel warning if
jbd2_journal_extent(), jbd2_journal_get_write_access(),
jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata(), etc. is called with an invalid handle.
This commit also fixes a bug where jbd2_journal_stop() would trip over
a kernel jbd2 assertion check when trying to free an invalid handle.
Also move the responsibility of setting current->journal_info to
start_this_handle(), simplifying the three users of this function.

The function mpage_released_unused_page() must only be called once;
otherwise the kernel will BUG() when the second call to
mpage_released_unused_page() tries to unlock the pages which had been
unlocked by the first call.
Also restructure the error handling so that we only give up on writing
the dirty pages in the case of ENOSPC where retrying the allocation
won't help. Otherwise, a transient failure, such as a kmalloc()
failure in calling ext4_map_blocks() might cause us to give up on
those pages, leading to a scary message in /var/log/messages plus data
loss.

Once we decrement transaction->t_updates, if this is the last handle
holding the transaction from closing, and once we release the
t_handle_lock spinlock, it's possible for the transaction to commit
and be released. In practice with normal kernels, this probably won't
happen, since the commit happens in a separate kernel thread and it's
unlikely this could all happen within the space of a few CPU cycles.
On the other hand, with a real-time kernel, this could potentially
happen, so save the tid found in transaction->t_tid before we release
t_handle_lock. It would require an insane configuration, such as one
where the jbd2 thread was set to a very high real-time priority,
perhaps because a high priority real-time thread is trying to read or
write to a file system. But some people who use real-time kernels
have been known to do insane things, including controlling
laser-wielding industrial robots. :-)

Now we maintain an proper in-order LRU list in ext4 to reclaim entries
from extent status tree when we are under heavy memory pressure. For
keeping this order, a spin lock is used to protect this list. But this
lock burns a lot of CPU time. We can use the following steps to trigger
it.
% cd /dev/shm
% dd if=/dev/zero of=ext4-img bs=1M count=2k
% mkfs.ext4 ext4-img
% mount -t ext4 -o loop ext4-img /mnt
% cd /mnt
% for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do truncate -s 64g $i; done
% for ((i=0;i<160;i++)); do cp $i /dev/null &; done
% perf record -a -g
% perf report
This commit tries to fix this problem. Now a new member called
i_touch_when is added into ext4_inode_info to record the last access
time for an inode. Meanwhile we never need to keep a proper in-order
LRU list. So this can avoid to burns some CPU time. When we try to
reclaim some entries from extent status tree, we use list_sort() to get
a proper in-order list. Then we traverse this list to discard some
entries. In ext4_sb_info, we use s_es_last_sorted to record the last
time of sorting this list. When we traverse the list, we skip the inode
that is newer than this time, and move this inode to the tail of LRU
list. When the head of the list is newer than s_es_last_sorted, we will
sort the LRU list again.
In this commit, we break the loop if s_extent_cache_cnt == 0 because
that means that all extents in extent status tree have been reclaimed.
Meanwhile in this commit, ext4_es_{un}register_shrinker()'s prototype is
changed to save a local variable in these functions.

If memory allocation in ext4_mb_new_group_pa() is failed,
it returns error code, ext4_mb_new_preallocation() propages it,
but ext4_mb_new_blocks() ignores it.
An observed result was:
- allocation fail means ext4_mb_new_group_pa() does not update
ext4_allocation_context;
- ext4_mb_new_blocks() sets ext4_allocation_request->len (ar->len =
ac->ac_b_ex.fe_len;) to number of blocks preallocated (512) instead
of number of blocks requested (1);
- that activates update cycle in ext4_splice_branch():
for (i = 1; i < blks; i++) <-- blks is 512 instead of 1 here
*(where->p + i) = cpu_to_le32(current_block++);
- it iterates 511 times and corrupts a chunk of memory including inode
structure;
- page fault happens at EXT4_SB(inode->i_sb) in ext4_mark_inode_dirty();
- system hangs with 'scheduling while atomic' BUG.
The patch implements a check for ext4_mb_new_preallocation() error
code and handles its failure as if ext4_mb_regular_allocator() fails.

What is interesting here, is that we call log_wait_commit, from
within wait_for_space, but we are still holding the checkpoint_mutex
as it surrounds mostly the whole of wait_for_space. And then, as we
are waiting, journal_commit_transaction can run, and if the JBD2_FLUSHED
bit is set, then we will also try to take the same checkpoint_mutex.
It seems that we need to drop the checkpoint_mutex while sitting in
jbd2_log_wait_commit, if we want to guarantee that progress can be made
by jbd2_journal_commit_transaction(). There does not seem to be
anything preempt-rt specific about this, other then perhaps increasing
the odds of it happening.

For ext4_free_blocks(), if we are deleting a large range of blocks,

Currently PageWriteback bit gets cleared from put_io_page() called
from ext4_end_bio(). This is somewhat inconvenient as extent tree is
not fully updated at that time (unwritten extents are not marked as
written) so we cannot read the data back yet. This design was
dictated by lock ordering as we cannot start a transaction while
PageWriteback bit is set (we could easily deadlock with
ext4_da_writepages()). But now that we use transaction reservation
for extent conversion, locking issues are solved and we can move
PageWriteback bit clearing after extent conversion is done. As a
result we can remove wait for unwritten extent conversion from
ext4_sync_file() because it already implicitely happens through
wait_on_page_writeback().
We implement deferring of PageWriteback clearing by queueing completed
bios to appropriate io_end and processing all the pages when io_end is
going to be freed instead of at the moment ext4_io_end() is called.

don't necessarily map complete pages when blocksize < pagesize and
thus needn't do any writeback in one iteration. We always map some
blocks though so we will eventually finish mapping the page. Just if
writeback races with other operations on the file, forward progress is
not really guaranteed. The second problem is that current code
structure makes it hard to associate all the bios to some range of
pages with one io_end structure so that unwritten extents can be
converted after all the bios are finished. This will be especially
difficult later when io_end will be associated with reserved
transaction handle.
We restructure the writeback path to a relatively simple loop which
first prepares extent of pages, then maps one or more extents so that
no page is partially mapped, and once page is fully mapped it is
submitted for IO. We keep all the mapping and IO submission
information in mpage_da_data structure to somewhat reduce stack usage.
Resulting code is somewhat shorter than the old one and hopefully also
easier to read.

We limit the number of blocks written in a single loop of
ext4_da_writepages() to 64 when inode uses indirect blocks. That is
unnecessary as credit estimates for mapping logically continguous run
of blocks is rather low even for inode with indirect blocks. So just
lift this limitation and properly calculate the number of necessary
credits.
This better credit estimate will also later allow us to always write
at least a single page in one iteration.

ext4_ind_trans_blocks() wrongly used 'chunk' argument to decide whether
blocks mapped are logically contiguous. That is wrong since the argument
informs whether the blocks are physically contiguous. As the blocks
mapped are always logically contiguous and that's all
ext4_ind_trans_blocks() cares about, just remove the 'chunk' argument.

This attribute is now unused so deprecate it. We still show the old
default value to keep some compatibility but we don't allow writing to
that attribute anymore.

Writeback code got better in how it submits IO and now the number of
pages requested to be written is usually higher than original 1024.
The number is now dynamically computed based on observed throughput
and is set to be about 0.5 s worth of writeback. E.g. on ordinary
SATA drive this ends up somewhere around 10000 as my testing shows.
So remove the unnecessary smarts from ext4_da_writepages().
