ext4: Adjust minlen with discard_granularity in the FITRIM ioctl

Discard granularity tells us the minimum size of extent that can be
discarded by the device. If the user supplies a minimum extent that
should be discarded (range.minlen) which is smaller than the discard
granularity, increase minlen to the discard granularity, since there's
no point submitting trim requests that the device will reject anyway.

ext4: check if device support discard in FITRIM ioctl

For a device that does not support discard, the FITRIM ioctl returns
-EOPNOTSUPP when blkdev_issue_discard() returns this error code, which
is how the user is informed that the device does not support discard.

If there are no suitable free extents to be trimmed, then FITRIM will
return success even though the device does not support discard, which
could confuse the user. So check explicitly if the device supports
discard and return an error code at the beginning of the FITRIM ioctl
processing.

ext4: Add EXT4_IOC_TRIM ioctl to handle batched discard

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.

I have an x86_64 kernel with i386 userspace. e4defrag fails on the
EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT ioctl because it is not wired up for the compat
case. It seems that struct move_extent is compat save, only types
with fixed widths are used:
{
__u32 reserved; /* should be zero */
__u32 donor_fd; /* donor file descriptor */
__u64 orig_start; /* logical start offset in block for orig */
__u64 donor_start; /* logical start offset in block for donor */
__u64 len; /* block length to be moved */
__u64 moved_len; /* moved block length */
};

Lets just wire up EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT for the compat case.

This patch fixes three problems in the handling of the

1. In current EXT4_IOC_MOVE_EXT, there are read access mode checks for
original and donor files, but they allow the illegal write access to

fix this problem, change access mode checks of original (r->r/w) and
donor (r->w) files.

2. Disallow the use of donor files that have a setuid or setgid bits.

3. Call mnt_want_write() and mnt_drop_write() before and after
ext4_move_extents() calling to get write access to a mount.

ext4: Allow ext4 to run without a journal

A few weeks ago I posted a patch for discussion that allowed ext4 to run
without a journal. Since that time I've integrated the excellent
comments from Andreas and fixed several serious bugs. We're currently
running with this patch and generating some performance numbers against
both ext2 (with backported reservations code) and ext4 with and without
a journal. It just so happens that running without a journal is
slightly faster for most everything.

We did
iozone -T -t 4 s 2g -r 256k -T -I -i0 -i1 -i2

which creates 4 threads, each of which create and do reads and writes on
a 2G file, with a buffer size of 256K, using O_DIRECT for all file opens
to bypass the page cache. Results:

ext2 ext4, default ext4, no journal
initial writes 13.0 MB/s 15.4 MB/s 15.7 MB/s
rewrites 13.1 MB/s 15.6 MB/s 15.9 MB/s
reads 15.2 MB/s 16.9 MB/s 17.2 MB/s
re-reads 15.3 MB/s 16.9 MB/s 17.2 MB/s
random readers 5.6 MB/s 5.6 MB/s 5.7 MB/s
random writers 5.1 MB/s 5.3 MB/s 5.4 MB/s

So it seems that, so far, this was a useful exercise.

ext4: add checks for errors from jbd2

If the journal has aborted due to a checkpointing failure, we
have to keep the contents of the journal space. Otherwise, the
filesystem will lose uncheckpointed metadata completely and
become inconsistent. To avoid this, we need to keep needs_recovery
flag if checkpoint has failed.

With this patch, ext4_put_super() detects a checkpointing failure
from the return value of journal_destroy(), then it invokes
ext4_abort() to make the filesystem read only and keep
needs_recovery flag. Errors from jbd2_journal_flush() are also
handled by this patch in some places.
