      ext4: Add EXT4_IOC_TRIM ioctl to handle batched discard · e681c047
      Lukas Czerner authored 
      
Filesystem independent ioctl was rejected as not common enough to be in
core vfs ioctl. Since we still need to access to this functionality this
commit adds ext4 specific ioctl EXT4_IOC_TRIM to dispatch
ext4_trim_fs().

It takes fstrim_range structure as an argument. fstrim_range is definec in
the include/linux/fs.h and its definition is as follows.

struct fstrim_range {
	__u64 start;
	__u64 len;
	__u64 minlen;
}

start	- first Byte to trim
len	- number of Bytes to trim from start
minlen	- minimum extent length to trim, free extents shorter than this
  number of Bytes will be ignored. This will be rounded up to fs
  block size.

After the FITRIM is done, the number of actually discarded Bytes is stored
in fstrim_range.len to give the user better insight on how much storage
space has been really released for wear-leveling.

      fs: Do not dispatch FITRIM through separate super_operation · 93bb41f4
      Lukas Czerner authored 
      
There was concern that FITRIM ioctl is not common enough to be included
in core vfs ioctl, as Christoph Hellwig pointed out there's no real point
in dispatching this out to a separate vector instead of just through
->ioctl.

So this commit removes ioctl_fstrim() from vfs ioctl and trim_fs
from super_operation structure.

      ext4: ext4_fill_super shouldn't return 0 on corruption · 5a9ae68a
      Darrick J. Wong authored 
      At the start of ext4_fill_super, ret is set to -EINVAL, and any failure path
out of that function returns ret.  However, the generic_check_addressable
clause sets ret = 0 (if it passes), which means that a subsequent failure (e.g.
a group checksum error) returns 0 even though the mount should fail.  This
causes vfs_kern_mount in turn to think that the mount succeeded, leading to an
oops.

A simple fix is to avoid using ret for the generic_check_addressable check,
which was last changed in commit 30ca22c7

      GFS2: Fix inode deallocation race · 044b9414
      Steven Whitehouse authored 
      
This area of the code has always been a bit delicate due to the
subtleties of lock ordering. The problem is that for "normal"
alloc/dealloc, we always grab the inode locks first and the rgrp lock
later.

In order to ensure no races in looking up the unlinked, but still
allocated inodes, we need to hold the rgrp lock when we do the lookup,
which means that we can't take the inode glock.

The solution is to borrow the technique already used by NFS to solve
what is essentially the same problem (given an inode number, look up
the inode carefully, checking that it really is in the expected
state).

We cannot do that directly from the allocation code (lock ordering
again) so we give the job to the pre-existing delete workqueue and
carry on with the allocation as normal.

If we find there is no space, we do a journal flush (required anyway
if space from a deallocation is to be released) which should block
against the pending deallocations, so we should always get the space
back.
