New handles can start at that point, so the log writing path must not look at live inode state. Add a commit-time per-inode snapshot and populate it while journal updates are locked and existing handles are drained. Store the snapshot behind ext4_inode_info->i_fc_snap so ext4_inode_info only grows by one pointer. The snapshot contains a copy of the on-disk inode plus the data range records needed for fast commit TLVs. Snapshotting runs under jbd2_journal_lock_updates(). Avoid triggering I/O there by using ext4_get_inode_loc_noio() and falling back to full commit if the inode table block is not present or not uptodate. Log writing then only serializes the snapshot, so it no longer needs to call ext4_map_blocks() and take i_data_sem under s_fc_lock. The snapshot is installed and freed under s_fc_lock and is released from fast commit cleanup and inode eviction.

Mapping the journal inode can take its i_data_sem. Normal inode update paths can take a data inode i_data_sem and then s_fc_lock, which makes lockdep report a circular dependency. lockdep treats all i_data_sem instances as one lock class and cannot distinguish the journal inode i_data_sem from a regular inode i_data_sem. The journal inode is not tracked by fast commit and no FC waiters ever depend on it, so this is not a real ABBA deadlock. Assign the journal inode a dedicated i_data_sem lockdep subclass to avoid the false positive. Inode cache objects can be recycled, so also reset i_data_sem to I_DATA_SEM_NORMAL when allocating an ext4 inode. Otherwise a new inode may inherit an old subclass (journal/quota/ea) and trigger lockdep warnings.

charset="utf-8" ext4_fc_track_inode() can be called while holding i_data_sem (e.g. fallocate). Waiting for EXT4_STATE_FC_COMMITTING in that case risks an ABBA deadlock: i_data_sem -> wait(FC_COMMITTING) vs FC_COMMITTING -> wait(i_data_sem) in the commit task. Now that fast commit snapshots inode state at commit time, updates during log writing do not need to block. Drop the wait and lockdep assertion in ext4_fc_track_inode(), and make ext4_fc_del() wait for FC_COMMITTING so an inode cannot be removed while the commit thread is still using it. When an inode is modified during a fast commit, mark it with EXT4_STATE_FC_REQUEUE so cleanup keeps it queued for the next fast commit. This is needed because jbd2_fc_end_commit() invokes the cleanup callback with tid =3D=3D 0, so tid-based requeue logic would requeue every inode. Testing: tracepoint ext4:ext4_fc_commit_stop with two fsyncs in the same transaction. nblks is the number of journal blocks written for that fast commit. Before this change, the second fsync still wrote almost the same fast commit log (nblks 10->9), because tid =3D=3D 0 in jbd2_fc_end_commit() caused the tid-based requeue logic to keep all inodes queued. After this change, only inodes modified during the commit are requeued, and the second fsync wrote a nearly empty fast commit (nblks 10->1).

With ext4_fc_del() waiting for EXT4_STATE_FC_COMMITTING, iput() can trigger ext4_clear_inode()->ext4_fc_del() in the commit thread and deadlock waiting for the fast commit to finish. Avoid taking extra references. Collect inode pointers under s_fc_lock and rely on EXT4_STATE_FC_COMMITTING to pin inodes until ext4_fc_cleanup() clears the bit. Also set EXT4_STATE_FC_COMMITTING for create-only inodes referenced from the dentry update queue, and wake up waiters when ext4_fc_cleanup() clears the bit.

The snapshot path still used ext4_map_blocks() to build data ranges. This can take i_data_sem and pulls the mapping code into the snapshot logic. Build inode data range snapshots from the extent status tree instead. The extent status tree is a cache, not an authoritative source. If the needed information is missing or unstable (e.g. delayed allocation), treat the transaction as fast commit ineligible and fall back to full commit. Also cap the number of inodes and ranges snapshotted per fast commit and allocate range records from a dedicated slab cache. The inode pointer array is allocated outside the updates-locked window. Testing: QEMU/KVM guest, virtio-pmem + dax, ext4 -O fast_commit, mounted dax,noatime. Ran python3 500x {4K write + fsync}, fallocate 256M, and python3 500x {creat + fsync(dir)} without lockdep splats or errors.

Add a new tracepoint, ext4_fc_lock_updates, reporting the time spent in the updates-locked window along with the number of snapshotted inodes and ranges. Record the first snapshot failure reason in a stable snap_err field for tooling.

charset="utf-8" Snapshot-based fast commit can fall back when the commit-time snapshot cannot be built (e.g. extent status cache misses). It is useful to quantify the updates-locked window and to see why snapshotting failed. Add best-effort snapshot counters to the ext4 superblock and extend /proc/fs/ext4//fc_info to report the number of snapshotted inodes and ranges, snapshot failure reasons, and the average/max time spent with journal updates locked.
