[PATCH 3.13 012/172] ext4: fix online resize with very large inode tables

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Tue Mar 04 2014 - 16:41:53 EST


3.13-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Theodore Ts'o <tytso@xxxxxxx>

commit b93c95353413041a8cebad915a8109619f66bcc6 upstream.

If a file system has a large number of inodes per block group, all of
the metadata blocks in a flex_bg may be larger than what can fit in a
single block group. Unfortunately, ext4_alloc_group_tables() in
resize.c was never tested to see if it would handle this case
correctly, and there were a large number of bugs which caused the
following sequence to result in a BUG_ON:

kernel bug at fs/ext4/resize.c:409!
...
call trace:
[<ffffffff81256768>] ext4_flex_group_add+0x1448/0x1830

rip [<ffffffff81254fa1>] set_flexbg_block_bitmap+0x171/0x180


This can be reproduced with the following command sequence:

mke2fs -t ext4 -i 4096 /dev/vdd 1G
mount -t ext4 /dev/vdd /vdd
resize2fs /dev/vdd 8G

To fix this, we need to make sure the right thing happens when a block
group's inode table straddles two block groups, which means the
following bugs had to be fixed:

1) Not clearing the BLOCK_UNINIT flag in the second block group in
ext4_alloc_group_tables --- the was proximate cause of the BUG_ON.

2) Incorrectly determining how many block groups contained contiguous
free blocks in ext4_alloc_group_tables().

3) Incorrectly setting the start of the next block range to be marked
in use after a discontinuity in setup_new_flex_group_blocks().
