The functionality of ext3 is fully supported by ext4 driver. Major
distributions (SUSE, RedHat) already use ext4 driver to handle ext3
filesystems for quite some time. There is some ugliness in mm resulting
from jbd cleaning buffers in a dirty page without cleaning page dirty
bit and also support for buffer bouncing in the block layer when stable
pages are required is there only because of jbd. So let's remove the
ext3 driver. This saves us some 28k lines of duplicated code.

If journal superblock is written only in disk's caches and other transaction
starts reusing space of the transaction cleaned from the log, it can happen
blocks of a new transaction reach the disk before journal superblock. When
power failure happens in such case, subsequent journal replay would still try
to replay the old transaction but some of it's blocks may be already
overwritten by the new transaction. For this reason we must use WRITE_FUA when
updating log tail and we must first write new log tail to disk and update
in-memory information only after that.

There are three case of updating journal superblock. In the first case, we want
to mark journal as empty (setting s_sequence to 0), in the second case we want
to update log tail, in the third case we want to update s_errno. Split these
cases into separate functions. It makes the code slightly more straightforward
and later patches will make the distinction even more important.

Currently we write out all journal buffers in WRITE_SYNC mode. This improves
performance for fsync heavy workloads but hinders performance when writes
are mostly asynchronous, most noticably it slows down readers and users
complain about slow desktop response etc.
So submit writes as asynchronous in the normal case and only submit writes as
WRITE_SYNC if we detect someone is waiting for current transaction commit.
I've gathered some numbers to back this change. The first is the read latency
test. It measures time to read 1 MB after several seconds of sleeping in
presence of streaming writes.
Top 10 times (out of 90) in us:
Before After
2131586 697473
1709932 557487
1564598 535642
1480462 347573
1478579 323153
1408496 222181
1388960 181273
1329565 181070
1252486 172832
1223265 172278
Average:
619377 82180
So the improvement in both maximum and average latency is massive.
I've measured fsync throughput by:
fs_mark -n 100 -t 1 -s 16384 -d /mnt/fsync/ -S 1 -L 4
in presence of streaming reader. The numbers (fsyncs/s) are:
Before After
9.9 6.3
6.8 6.0
6.3 6.2
5.8 6.1
So fsync performance seems unharmed by this change.

This commit adds fixed tracepoint for jbd. It has been based on fixed
tracepoints for jbd2, however there are missing those for collecting
statistics, since I think that it will require more intrusive patch so I
should have its own commit, if someone decide that it is needed. Also
there are new tracepoints in __journal_drop_transaction() and
journal_update_superblock().
The list of jbd tracepoints:
jbd_checkpoint
jbd_start_commit
jbd_commit_locking
jbd_commit_flushing
jbd_commit_logging
jbd_drop_transaction
jbd_end_commit
jbd_do_submit_data
jbd_cleanup_journal_tail
jbd_update_superblock_end
