Subject: [PATCH v8 00/12] cleanups and unit test for mballoc

v7->v8:
1. Convert all ext4_mb_mark_bb to use bool in patch 1.
2. Improve commit msg as Ritesh suggested.
3. Collect RBs from Ritesh. A lot thanks to Ritesh!

v6->v7:
1. Remove struct ext4_mark_context and call ext4_mb_mark_context with all
needed arguments directly.
2. Add new patch to make state in ext4_mb_mark_bb bool and make state in
new-added function ext4_mb_mark_context bool.
3. Fix typos in git messages.
4. Keep on-disk bitmap marking code tight in patch separating on-disk
bitmap and buddy bitmap freeing.
5. Test 64k blocksize instead of 256k blocksize.
6. Remove RVB from Ojaswin in changed patches and collect updated RVB from
Ritesh.
7. As there is no much functional change to initial version, "kvm-xfstest
smoke" test and kunit test are ran and result is good.
8. Plan to add ext4_inode_block_valid in ext4_mb_mark_context in new
series!

v5->v6:
1. Separate block bitmap and buddy bitmap freeing in individual patch
and rewrite the descriptions.
2. Remove #ifdef around KUNIT_STATIC_STUB_REDIRECT which should be
only defined when CONFIG_KUNIT is enabled after fix [7] which was merged
into kunit-next/kunit
3. Use mbt prefix to distiguish test APIs from actual kernel APIs.
4. Add prepare function for ext4_mark_context and rename
ext4_mb_mark_group_bb to ext4_mb_mark_context
5. Support to run mballoc test with different layouts setting and
different block size is tested.

v4->v5:
1. WARN on free blocks to uninitialized group is removed as normal
fast commit route may triggers this, see [1] for details. The review
tag from Ojaswin of changed patch is also removed and a futher review
is needed.

v3->v4:
1. Collect Reviewed-by from Ojaswin
2. Do improve as Ojaswin kindly suggested: Fix typo in commit,
WARN if try to clear bit of uninitialized group and improve
refactoring of AGGRESSIVE_CHECK code.
3. Fix conflic on patch 16
4. Improve git log in patch 16,17

v2->v3:
1. Fix build warnings on "ext4: add some kunit stub for mballoc kunit
test" and "ext4: add first unit test for ext4_mb_new_blocks_simple in
mballoc"

This series is a new version of unmerged patches from [1]. The first 6
patches of this series factor out codes to mark blocks used or freed
which will update on disk block bitmap and group descriptor. Several
reasons to do this:
1. pair behavior of alloc/free bits. For example,
ext4_mb_new_blocks_simple will update free_clusters in struct flex_groups
in ext4_mb_mark_bb while ext4_free_blocks_simple forgets this.
2. remove repeat code to read from disk, update and write back to disk.
3. reduce future unit test mocks to avoid real IO to update structure
on disk.

The last 2 patches add a unit test for mballoc. Before more unit tests
are added, there are something should be discussed:
1. How to test static function in mballoc.c
Currently, include mballoc-test.c in mballoc.c to test static function
in mballoc.c from mballoc-test.c which is one way suggested in [2].
Not sure if there is any more elegant way to test static function without
touch mballoc.c.
2. How to add mocks to function in mballoc.c which may issue IO to disk
Currently, KUNIT_STATIC_STUB_REDIRECT is added to functions as suggested
in kunit document [3].
3. How to simulate a block bitmap.
Currently, a fake buffer_head with bitmap data is returned, then no
futher change is needed.
If we simulate a block bitmap with an array of data structure like:
struct test_bitmap {
       unsigned int	start;
       unsigned int	len;
}
which is suggested by Theodore in [4], then we need to add mocks to
function which expected bitmap from bitmap_bh->b_data, like
mb_find_next_bit, mb_find_next_zero_bit and maybe more.

Would like to hear any suggestion! Thanks!

I run kvm-xfstest with config "ext4/all" and "-g auto" together with
patchset for resize, you can see detail report in [6].

Unit test result is as following:
