Currently when new xattr block is created or released we we would call
dquot_free_block() or dquot_alloc_block() respectively, among the else
decrementing or incrementing the number of blocks assigned to the
inode by one block.
This however does not work for bigalloc file system because we always
allocate/free the whole cluster so we have to count with that in
dquot_free_block() and dquot_alloc_block() as well.
Use the clusters-to-blocks conversion EXT4_C2B() when passing number of
blocks to the dquot_alloc/free functions to fix the problem.
The problem has been revealed by xfstests #117 (and possibly others).

Although extent status is loaded on-demand, we also need to reclaim
extent from the tree when we are under a heavy memory pressure because
in some cases fragmented extent tree causes status tree costs too much
memory.
Here we maintain a lru list in super_block. When the extent status of
an inode is accessed and changed, this inode will be move to the tail
of the list. The inode will be dropped from this list when it is
cleared. In the inode, a counter is added to count the number of
cached objects in extent status tree. Here only written/unwritten/hole
extent is counted because delayed extent doesn't be reclaimed due to
fiemap, bigalloc and seek_data/hole need it. The counter will be
increased as a new extent is allocated, and it will be decreased as a
extent is freed.
In this commit we use normal shrinker framework to reclaim memory from
the status tree. ext4_es_reclaim_extents_count() traverses the lru list
to count the number of reclaimable extents. ext4_es_shrink() tries to
reclaim written/unwritten/hole extents from extent status tree. The
inode that has been shrunk is moved to the tail of lru list.

After tracking all extent status, we already have a extent cache in
memory. Every time we want to lookup a block mapping, we can first
try to lookup it in extent status tree to avoid a potential disk I/O.
A new function called ext4_es_lookup_extent is defined to finish this
work. When we try to lookup a block mapping, we always call
ext4_map_blocks and/or ext4_da_map_blocks. So in these functions we
first try to lookup a block mapping in extent status tree.
A new flag EXT4_GET_BLOCKS_NO_PUT_HOLE is used in ext4_da_map_blocks
in order not to put a hole into extent status tree because this hole
will be converted to delayed extent in the tree immediately.

By recording the phycisal block and status, extent status tree is able
to track the status of every extents. When we call _map_blocks
functions to lookup an extent or create a new written/unwritten/delayed
extent, this extent will be inserted into extent status tree.
We don't load all extents from disk in alloc_inode() because it costs
too much memory, and if a file is opened and closed frequently it will
takes too much time to load all extent information. So currently when
we create/lookup an extent, this extent will be inserted into extent
status tree. Hence, the extent status tree may not comprehensively
contain all of the extents found in the file.
Here a condition we need to take care is that an extent might contains
unwritten and delayed status simultaneously because an extent is delayed
allocated and could be allocated by fallocate. At this time we need to
keep delayed status because later we need to update delayed reservation
space using it.

we are only using it for a single parameter, and it is much more

Secondly, as a module paramter it can be specified as a boot option if
jbd2 is built into the kernel, or as a parameter when the module is
loaded, and it can also be manipulated dynamically under
/sys/module/jbd2/parameters/jbd2_debug. So it is more flexible.

Operations which modify extended attributes may need extra journal
credits if inline data is used, since there is a chance that some
extended attributes may need to get pushed to an external attribute
block.
Changes to reflect this was made in xattr.c, but they were missed in
fs/ext4/acl.c. To fix this, abstract the calculation of the number of
credits needed for xattr operations to an inline function defined in
ext4_jbd2.h, and use it in acl.c and xattr.c.
Also move the function declarations used in inline.c from xattr.h
(where they are non-obviously hidden, and caused problems since
ext4_jbd2.h needs to use the function ext4_has_inline_data), and move
them to ext4.h.

The grab_cache_page_write_begin() function can potentially sleep for a
long time, since it may need to do memory allocation which can block
if the system is under significant memory pressure, and because it may
be blocked on page writeback. If it does take a long time to grab the
page, it's better that we not hold an active jbd2 handle.
So grab a handle on the page first, and _then_ start the transaction
handle.
This commit fixes the following long transaction handle hold time:
postmark-2917 [000] .... 196.435786: jbd2_handle_stats: dev 254,32

So we can better understand what bits of ext4 are responsible for
long-running jbd2 handles, use jbd2__journal_start() so we can pass
context information for logging purposes.
The recommended way for finding the longer-running handles is:
T=/sys/kernel/debug/tracing
EVENT=$T/events/jbd2/jbd2_handle_stats
echo "interval > 5" > $EVENT/filter
echo 1 > $EVENT/enable
./run-my-fs-benchmark
cat $T/trace > /tmp/problem-handles
This will list handles that were active for longer than 20ms. Having
longer-running handles is bad, because a commit started at the wrong
time could stall for those 20+ milliseconds, which could delay an
fsync() or an O_SYNC operation. Here is an example line from the
trace file describing a handle which lived on for 311 jiffies, or over

The ext4 block allocator only maintains buddy bitmaps for chunks which
are less than or equal to one quarter of a block group. That is, for
a file aystem with a 1k blocksize, and where the number of blocks in a
block group is 8192 blocks, the largest chunk size tracked by buddy
bitmaps is 2048 blocks.
For a file system with a 4k blocksize, and where the number of blocks
in a block group is 32768 blocks, the largest chunk size tracked by
buddy bitmaps is 8192 blocks.
To work around this code, mballoc.c before this commit would truncate
allocation requests to the number of blocks in a block group minus 10.
Why 10? Aside from being a completely arbitrary number, it avoids
block allocation to be a power of two larger than 25% of the block
group. If you try to explicitly fallocate 50% of the block group
size, this will demonstrate the problem; the block allocation code
will scan the all of the blocks in the file system with cr==0 (since
the request is for a natural power of two), but then completely fail
for all blocks groups, since the buddy bitmaps don't track chunk sizes
of 50% of the block group.
To fix this, in these we use ext4_mb_complex_scan_group() instead of
ext4_mb_simple_scan_group().
