fscrypt: handle test_dummy_encryption in more logical way

The behavior of the test_dummy_encryption mount option is that when a
new file (or directory or symlink) is created in an unencrypted
directory, it's automatically encrypted using a dummy encryption policy.
That's it; in particular, the encryption (or lack thereof) of existing
files (or directories or symlinks) doesn't change.

Unfortunately the implementation of test_dummy_encryption is a bit weird
and confusing. When test_dummy_encryption is enabled and a file is
being created in an unencrypted directory, we set up an encryption key
(->i_crypt_info) for the directory. This isn't actually used to do any
encryption, however, since the directory is still unencrypted! Instead,
->i_crypt_info is only used for inheriting the encryption policy.

One consequence of this is that the filesystem ends up providing a
"dummy context" (policy + nonce) instead of a "dummy policy". In
commit ed318a6cc0b6 ("fscrypt: support test_dummy_encryption=v2"), I
mistakenly thought this was required. However, actually the nonce only
ends up being used to derive a key that is never used.

Another consequence of this implementation is that it allows for
'inode->i_crypt_info != NULL && !IS_ENCRYPTED(inode)', which is an edge
case that can be forgotten about. For example, currently
FS_IOC_GET_ENCRYPTION_POLICY on an unencrypted directory may return the
dummy encryption policy when the filesystem is mounted with
test_dummy_encryption. That seems like the wrong thing to do, since
again, the directory itself is not actually encrypted.

Therefore, switch to a more logical and maintainable implementation
where the dummy encryption policy inheritance is done without setting up
keys for unencrypted directories. This involves:

- Adding a function fscrypt_policy_to_inherit() which returns the
encryption policy to inherit from a directory. This can be a real
policy, a dummy policy, or no policy.

- Replacing struct fscrypt_dummy_context, ->get_dummy_context(), etc.
with struct fscrypt_dummy_policy, ->get_dummy_policy(), etc.

- Making fscrypt_fname_encrypted_size() take an fscrypt_policy instead
of an inode.

ext4: limit the length of per-inode prealloc list

In the scenario of writing sparse files, the per-inode prealloc list may
be very long, resulting in high overhead for ext4_mb_use_preallocated().
To circumvent this problem, we limit the maximum length of per-inode
prealloc list to 512 and allow users to modify it.

After patching, we observed that the sys ratio of cpu has dropped, and
the system throughput has increased significantly. We created a process
to write the sparse file, and the running time of the process on the
fixed kernel was significantly reduced, as follows:

Running time on unfixed kernel：
[root@TENCENT64 ~]# time taskset 0x01 ./sparse /data1/sparce.dat
real 0m2.051s
user 0m0.008s

ext4: check journal inode extents more carefully

Currently, system zones just track ranges of block, that are "important"
fs metadata (bitmaps, group descriptors, journal blocks, etc.). This
however complicates how extent tree (or indirect blocks) can be checked
for inodes that actually track such metadata - currently the journal
inode but arguably we should be treating quota files or resize inode
similarly. We cannot run __ext4_ext_check() on such metadata inodes when
loading their extents as that would immediately trigger the validity
checks and so we just hack around that and special-case the journal
inode. This however leads to a situation that a journal inode which has
extent tree of depth at least one can have invalid extent tree that gets
unnoticed until ext4_cache_extents() crashes.

To overcome this limitation, track inode number each system zone belongs
to (0 is used for zones not belonging to any inode). We can then verify
inode number matches the expected one when verifying extent tree and
thus avoid the false errors. With this there's no need to to
special-case journal inode during extent tree checking anymore so remove
it.

ext4: abort the filesystem if failed to async write metadata buffer

There is a risk of filesystem inconsistency if we failed to async write
back metadata buffer in the background. Because of current buffer's end
io procedure is handled by end_buffer_async_write() in the block layer,
and it only clear the buffer's uptodate flag and mark the write_io_error
flag, so ext4 cannot detect such failure immediately. In most cases of
getting metadata buffer (e.g. ext4_read_inode_bitmap()), although the
buffer's data is actually uptodate, it may still read data from disk
because the buffer's uptodate flag has been cleared. Finally, it may
lead to on-disk filesystem inconsistency if reading old data from the
disk successfully and write them out again.

This patch detect bdev mapping->wb_err when getting journal's write
access and mark the filesystem error if bdev's mapping->wb_err was
increased, this could prevent further writing and potential
inconsistency.

ext4: add prefetching for block allocation bitmaps

This should significantly improve bitmap loading, especially for flex
groups as it tries to load all bitmaps within a flex.group instead of
one by one synchronously.

Prefetching is done in 8 * flex_bg groups, so it should be 8
read-ahead reads for a single allocating thread. At the end of
allocation the thread waits for read-ahead completion and initializes
buddy information so that read-aheads are not lost in case of memory
pressure.

At cr=0 the number of prefetching IOs is limited per allocation
context to prevent a situation when mballoc loads thousands of bitmaps
looking for a perfect group and ignoring groups with good chunks.

Together with the patch "ext4: limit scanning of uninitialized groups"
the mount time (which includes few tiny allocations) of a 1PB
filesystem is reduced significantly:

0% full 50%-full unpatched patched
mount time 33s 9279s 563s

[ Restructured by tytso; removed the state flags in the allocation
context, so it can be used to lazily prefetch the allocation bitmaps
immediately after the file system is mounted. Skip prefetching
block groups which are uninitialized. Finally pass in the
REQ_RAHEAD flag to the block layer while prefetching. ]

(This is since ext4_extent's ee_block is __le32).
This means that EXT4_MAX_LOGICAL_BLOCK should be 0xfffffffe (starting

The issue was seen when ext4 moved to iomap_fiemap API and when
overlayfs was mounted on top of ext4. Since overlayfs was missing
filemap_check_ranges(), so it could pass a arbitrary huge length which
lead to overflow of map.m_len logic.

This patch fixes that.

ext4: mballoc: use lock for checking free blocks while retrying

Currently while doing block allocation grp->bb_free may be getting
modified if discard is happening in parallel.
For e.g. consider a case where there are lot of threads who have
preallocated lot of blocks and there is a thread which is trying
to discard all of this group's PA. Now it could happen that
we see all of those group's bb_free is zero and fail the allocation
while there is sufficient space if we free up all the PA.

So this patch adds another flag "EXT4_MB_STRICT_CHECK" which will be set
if we are unable to allocate any blocks in the first try (since we may
not have considered blocks about to be discarded from PA lists).
So during retry attempt to allocate blocks we will use ext4_lock_group()
for checking if the group is good or not.

Furthermore, restrict setting any of the exclusive flags if DAX is set.

While conceptually possible, we do not allow setting EXT4_DAX_FL while
at the same time clearing exclusion flags (or vice versa) for 2 reasons:

1) The DAX flag does not take effect immediately which
introduces quite a bit of complexity
2) There is no clear use case for being this flexible

Finally, on regular files, flag the inode to not be cached to facilitate
changing S_DAX on the next creation of the inode.

fs/ext4: Make DAX mount option a tri-state

We add 'always', 'never', and 'inode' (default). '-o dax' continues to
operate the same which is equivalent to 'always'. This new
functionality is limited to ext4 only.

Specifically we introduce a 2nd DAX mount flag EXT4_MOUNT2_DAX_NEVER and set
it and EXT4_MOUNT_DAX_ALWAYS appropriately for the mode.

We also force EXT4_MOUNT2_DAX_NEVER if !CONFIG_FS_DAX.

Finally, EXT4_MOUNT2_DAX_INODE is used solely to detect if the user
specified that option for printing.
