For some reason, today mballoc only allocates IOs which are exactly
stripe-sized on a stripe boundary. If you have a multiple (say, a
128k IO on a 64k stripe) you may end up unaligned.
It seems to me that a simple change to align stripe-multiple IOs
on stripe boundaries would be a very good idea, unless this breaks
some other mballoc heuristic for some reason...

This patch is to be applied upon Christoph's "direct-io: move aio_complete
into ->end_io" patch. It adds iocb and result fields to struct ext4_io_end_t,
so that we can call aio_complete from ext4_end_io_nolock() after the extent
conversion has finished.
I have verified with Christoph's aio-dio test that used to fail after a few
runs on an original kernel but now succeeds on the patched kernel.
See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.ext4/19659 for details.

Filesystems with unwritten extent support must not complete an AIO request
until the transaction to convert the extent has been commited. That means
the aio_complete calls needs to be moved into the ->end_io callback so
that the filesystem can control when to call it exactly.
This makes a bit of a mess out of dio_complete and the ->end_io callback
prototype even more complicated.

We have experienced bitmap inconsistencies after crash during file
delete under heavy load. The crash is not file system related and I
the following patch in ext4_free_branches() fixes the recovery
problem.
If the transaction is restarted and there is a crash before the new
transaction is committed, then after recovery, the blocks that this
indirect block points to have been freed, but the indirect block
itself has not been freed and may still point to some of the free
blocks (because of the ext4_forget()).
So ext4_forget() should be called inside ext4_free_blocks() to avoid
this problem.

We don't need to set s_dirt in most of the ext4 code when journaling
is enabled. In ext3/4 some of the summary statistics for # of free
inodes, blocks, and directories are calculated from the per-block
group statistics when the file system is mounted or unmounted. As a
result the superblock doesn't have to be updated, either via the
journal or by setting s_dirt. There are a few exceptions, most
notably when resizing the file system, where the superblock needs to
be modified --- and in that case it should be done as a journalled
operation if possible, and s_dirt set only in no-journal mode.
This patch will optimize out some unneeded disk writes when using ext4
with a journal.

We don't name our generic fsync implementations very well currently.
The no-op implementation for in-memory filesystems currently is called
simple_sync_file which doesn't make too much sense to start with,
the the generic one for simple filesystems is called simple_fsync
which can lead to some confusion.
This patch renames the generic file fsync method to generic_file_fsync
to match the other generic_file_* routines it is supposed to be used
with, and the no-op implementation to noop_fsync to make it obvious
what to expect. In addition add some documentation for both methods.

Currently the VFS calls into the quotactl interface for unmounting

can't easily distinguish between user-space originating quotaoff
and an unount. Instead move the responsibily of the unmount handling
into the filesystem to be consistent with all other dquot handling.
Note that we do call dquot_disable a lot later now, e.g. after
a sync_filesystem. But this is fine as the quota code does all its
writes via blockdev's mapping and that is synced even later.

Quota must being initialized if size or uid/git changes requested.
But initialization performed in two different places:
in case of i_size file system is responsible for dquot init

dquot_transfer().

Dimitry Monakhov discovered an edge case where it was possible for the
EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL flag could get cleared unnecessarily. This is true;
I have a test case that can be exercised via downloading and
decompressing the file:
wget ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/tytso/ext4-testcases/eofblocks-fl-test-case.img.bz2
bunzip2 eofblocks-fl-test-case.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=eofblocks-fl-test-case.img bs=1k seek=17925 bs=1k count=1 conv=notrunc
However, triggering it in real life is highly unlikely since it
requires an extremely fragmented sparse file with a hole in exactly
the right place in the extent tree. (It actually took quite a bit of
work to generate this test case.) Still, it's nice to get even
extreme corner cases to be correct, so this patch makes sure that we
don't clear the EXT4_EOFBLOCKS_FL incorrectly even in this corner
case.
Signed-off-by: "Theodore Ts'o" <tytso@mit.edu>
If the EOFBLOCK_FL flag is set when it should not be and the inode is
zero length, then eh_entries is zero, and ex is NULL, so dereferencing
ex to print ex->ee_block causes a kernel OOPS in
ext4_ext_map_blocks().
On top of that, the error message which is printed isn't very helpful.
So we fix this by printing something more explanatory which doesn't
involve trying to print ex->ee_block.
