Currently in ext4_can_extents_be_merged(), if one file has unwritten
extents under io, we will not merge any other unwritten extents, even
they are not in range of those unwritten extents under io. This limit
is coarse, indeed we can merge these unwritten extents that are not
under io.

Here add a new ES_IO_B flag to track unwritten extents under io in
extents status tree. When we try to merge unwritten extents, search
given extents in extents status tree, if not found, then we can merge
these unwritten extents.

Note currently we only track unwritten extents under io.

Hi,

There will be no [PATCH 2/2], which was caused by my mistake, sorry, only one patch in this mail.
I have run xfstests "-g auto" for this patch, most test cases work well, such
cases will fail:
generic/107 generic/223 generic/347 generic/388 generic/422 generic/475 generic/484, but
even though I do not apply this patch, these cases still may fail.

No matter whether this patch is applied, generic/107, generic/388 and generic/475 sometimes pass,
sometimes fail, other 4 test cases always fail.

Apply LiuBo's "Ext4: fix slow writeback under dioread_nolock and nodelalloc" and this patch, this
slow writeback issue described in Liu Bo's patch will go.

Regards,
Xiaoguang Wang

Hi, my apologies for not responding earlier.  I had been
waiting/hoping that Eric Whitney, who has last made a lot of changes
around the extent status tree management, would take a look at your
changes and comment.

The other thing which I'm very much wondering about is why you are
seeing such a large number of test failures.  What sort of file system
configuration and kernel version are you seeing these failures?  My
current test runs aren't showing anything like this --- and neeither
is Eric Whitney's testing.  I've attached a recent test report below.

What if this took just starting block and length? There's no big point in
passing two extents here...

I'd check ext1_ee_len + ext2_ee_len > EXT_UNWRITTEN_MAX_LEN before
ext4_unwritten_extent_under_io() as that is a cheaper check. Also we know
that extents are adjacent so we can just call:

	ext4_unwritten_extent_under_io(inode, le32_to_cpu(ex1->ee_block),
					ext1_ee_len + ext2_ee_len)

and save one extent status tree lookup & iteration.

OK, but you fail to clear EXTENT_STATUS_IO if we fail to submit IO for some
reason or if the IO ends with IO error, don't you? I guess for these error
cases you can just iterate through all the range covered by ioend and clear
EXTENT_STATUS_IO bits. We don't care about performance in that case and it
is the simplest solution I see.

I see, that's ok.

I run a new tests against newest upstream kernel without my patches:
ext4/034 ext4/305 generic/223 generic/371 generic/422 generic/484 shared/004 failed,

ext4/034: liubo has sent a patch to fix this bug.
ext/305 shared/004: umount failed, but maybe my environment issuse.
Look like other 4 test cases maybe related to fs or test cases bugs.
I attach test results here, later when I have some free time, I'll look into them.

Your comments are good, thanks, and sorry for my bad codes, I should have realized

ok, I wrote new patch which will clear this EXTENT_STATUS_IO in mpage_map_and_submit_extent
when there are errors. But for simplicity, I don't write new fucntion to iterate extent
status range, which may need to splilt es into 2 or 3 es, and need to handle memory allocation
failure. I still use ext4_es_insert_extent's feature that removes es firstly and inserts new es
with new status.
After fstests test, I'll send new patch soon, thanks.
