We won't defrag an extent, if it's bigger than the threshold we
specified and there's no small extent before it, but actually
the code doesn't work this way.
There are three bugs:
- When should_defrag_range() decides we should keep on defragmenting
an extent, last_len is not incremented. (old bug)
- The length that passes to should_defrag_range() is not the length
we're going to defrag. (new bug)
- We always defrag 256K bytes data, and a big extent can be part of
this range. (new bug)
For a file with 4 extents:
| 4K | 4K | 256K | 256K |
The result of defrag with (the default) 256K extent thresh should be:
| 264K | 256K |
but with those bugs, we'll get:
| 520K |

It's off-by-one, and thus we may skip the last page while defragmenting.
An example case:
# create /mnt/file with 2 4K file extents
# btrfs fi defrag /mnt/file
# sync
# filefrag /mnt/file
/mnt/file: 2 extents found
So it's not defragmented.

I noticed we had a little bit of latency when writing out the space cache
inodes. It's because we flush it before we write anything in case we have dirty
pages already there. This doesn't matter though since we're just going to
overwrite the space, and there really shouldn't be any dirty pages anyway. This
makes some of my tests run a little bit faster. Thanks,

Mitch kept hitting a panic because he was getting ENOSPC. One of my previous
patches makes it so we are much better at not allocating new metadata chunks.
Unfortunately coupled with the overcommit patch this works us into a bit of a
problem if we are removing a bunch of space and end up chewing up all of our
space with pinned extents. We can allocate chunks fine and overflow is ok, but
the only way to reclaim this space is to commit the transaction. So if we go to
overcommit, first check and see how much pinned space we have. If we have more
than 80% of the free space chewed up with pinned extents, just commit the
transaction, this will free up enough space for our reservation and we won't
have this problem anymore. With this patch Mitch's test doesn't blow up
anymore. Thanks,

Currently btrfs_block_rsv_check does 2 things, it will either refill a block
reserve like in the truncate or refill case, or it will check to see if there is
enough space in the global reserve and possibly refill it. However because of
overcommit we could be well overcommitting ourselves just to try and refill the
global reserve, when really we should just be committing the transaction. So
breack this out into btrfs_block_rsv_refill and btrfs_block_rsv_check. Refill
will try to reserve more metadata if it can and btrfs_block_rsv_check will not,
it will only tell you if the factor of the total space is still reserved.

In __unlink_start_trans() if we don't have enough room for a reservation we will
check to see if the unlink will free up space. If it does that's great, but we

the orphan item. Do this and migrate the space the global reserve so it all

We started setting trans->block_rsv = NULL to allow the delayed refs flushing
stuff to use the right block_rsv and then just made
btrfs_trans_release_metadata() unconditionally use the trans block rsv. The
problem with this is we need to reserve some space in the transaction and then
migrate it to the global block rsv, so we need to be able to free that out
properly. So instead just move btrfs_trans_release_metadata() before the
delayed ref flushing and use trans->block_rsv for the freeing. Thanks,

Currently we only allow a maximum of 2 megabytes of pages to be flushed at a

is larger. Thanks,

The only way we actually reclaim delalloc space is waiting for the IO to
completely finish. Usually we kick off a bunch of IO and wait for a little bit
and hope we can make our reservation, and usually this works out pretty well.
With overcommit however we can get seriously underwater if we're filling up the
disk quickly, so we need to be able to force the delalloc shrinker to wait for
the ordered IO to finish to give us a better chance of actually reclaiming
enough space to get our reservation. Thanks,

Before the only reason to commit the transaction to recover space in
reserve_metadata_bytes() was if there were enough pinned_bytes to satisfy our
reservation. But now we have the delayed inode stuff which will hold it's
reservations until we commit the transaction. So say we max out our reservation
by creating a bunch of files but don't have any pinned bytes we will ENOSPC out
early even though we could commit the transaction and get that space back. So
now just unconditionally commit the transaction since currently there is no way
to know how much metadata space is being reserved by delayed inode stuff.

Recently I changed the xattr stuff to unconditionally set the xattr first in
case the xattr didn't exist yet. This has introduced a regression when setting
an xattr that already exists with a large value. If we find the key we are
looking for split_leaf will assume that we're extending that item. The problem
is the size we pass down to btrfs_search_slot includes the size of the item
already, so if we have the largest xattr we can possibly have plus the size of
the xattr item plus the xattr item that btrfs_search_slot we'd overflow the
leaf. Thankfully this is not what we're doing, but split_leaf doesn't know this
so it just returns EOVERFLOW. So in the xattr code we need to check and see if
we got back EOVERFLOW and treat it like EEXIST since that's really what
happened. Thanks,

I noticed recently that my overcommit patch was causing one of my enospc tests
to fail 25% of the time with early ENOSPC. This is because my overcommit patch
was letting us go way over board, but it wasn't waiting long enough to let the
delalloc shrinker do it's job. The problem is we just start writeback and wait
a little bit hoping we flush enough, but we only free up delalloc space by
having the writes complete all the way. We do this by waiting for ordered
extents, which we do but only if we already free'd enough for the reservation,
which isn't right, we should flush ordered extents if we didn't reclaim enough
in case that will push us over the edge. With this patch I've not seen a
failure in this enospc test after running it in a loop for an hour. Thanks,

Yeah yeah I know this is how we used to do it and then I changed it, but damnit
I'm changing it back. The fact is that writing out checksums will modify
metadata, which could cause us to dirty a block group we've already written out,
so we have to truncate it and all of it's checksums and re-write it which will
write new checksums which could dirty a blockg roup that has already been
written and you see where I'm going with this? This can cause unmount or really
anything that depends on a transaction to commit to take it's sweet damned time
to happen. So go back to the way it was, only this time we're specifically
setting NODATACOW because we can't go through the COW pathway anyway and we're
doing our own built-in cow'ing by truncating the free space cache. The other
new thing is once we truncate the old cache and preallocate the new space, we
don't need to do that song and dance at all for the rest of the transaction, we
can just overwrite the existing space with the new cache if the block group
changes for whatever reason, and the NODATACOW will let us do this fine. So
keep track of which transaction we last cleared our cache in and if we cleared
it in this transaction just say we're all setup and carry on. This survives
xfstests and stress.sh.
The inode cache will continue to use the normal csum infrastructure since it
only gets written once and there will be no more modifications to the fs tree in
a transaction commit.

In writing and reading the space cache we have one big loop that keeps track of
which page we are on and then a bunch of sizeable loops underneath this big loop
to try and read/write out properly. Especially in the write case this makes
things hugely complicated and hard to follow, and makes our error checking and
recovery equally as complex. So add a io_ctl struct with a bunch of helpers to
keep track of the pages we have, where we are, if we have enough space etc.
This unifies how we deal with the pages we're writing and keeps all the messy
tracking internal. This allows us to kill the big loops in both the read and
write case and makes reviewing and chaning the write and read paths much
simpler. I've run xfstests and stress.sh on this code and it survives. Thanks,

Some users have requested this and I've found I needed a way to disable cache
loading without actually clearing the cache, so introduce the no_space_cache
option. Before we check the super blocks cache generation field and if it was
populated we always turned space caching on. Now we check this and set the
space cache option on, and then parse the mount options so that if we want it
off it get's turned off. Then we check the mount option all the places we do
the caching work instead of checking the super's cache generation. This makes
things more consistent and lets us turn space caching off. Thanks,

will inherit this flag, same with nodatacow. With this patch test 79 passes.

One of the things that kills us is the fact that our ENOSPC reservations are
horribly over the top in most normal cases. There isn't too much that can be
done about this because when we are completely full we really need them to work
like this so we don't under reserve. However if there is plenty of unallocated
chunks on the disk we can use that to gauge how much we can overcommit. So this
patch adds chunk free space accounting so we always know how much unallocated
space we have. Then if we fail to make a reservation within our allocated
space, check to see if we can overcommit. In the normal flushing case (like
with delalloc metadata reservations) we'll take the free space and divide it by
2 if our metadata profile is setup for DUP or any of those, and then divide it
by 8 to make sure we don't overcommit too much. Then if we're in a non-flushing
case (we really need this reservation now!) we only limit ourselves to half of
the free space. This makes this fio test

last guy we tried to kill, if it's the same as the one we're trying to kill
currently we know we are having problems and can just error out. I don't have a
way to test this so look hard and make sure it's right. Thanks,

Xfstests 83 really stresses our ENOSPC since it uses a 100mb fs which ends up
with the mixed block group stuff. Because of this we can run into a situation
where we don't have enough space to delete inodes, or even worse we can't free
the inodes when we next mount the fs which causes the orphan code to lose its
mind. So if we fail to make our reservation, steal from the global reserve.
The global reserve will end up taking up the entire rest of the free space on
the fs in this worst case so there really is no other option. With this patch
test 83 doesn't freak out. Thanks,

While looking for a performance regression a user was complaining about, I
noticed that we had a regression with the varmail test of filebench. This was
introduced by
0d10ee2e6d
which keeps us from calling writepages in writepage. This is a correct change,
however it happens to help the varmail test because we write out in larger
chunks. This is largly to do with how we write out dirty pages for each
transaction. If you run filebench with
load varmail
set $dir=/mnt/btrfs-test
run 60
prior to this patch you would get ~1420 ops/second, but with the patch you get
~1200 ops/second. This is a 16% decrease. So since we know the range of dirty
pages we want to write out, don't write out in one page chunks, write out in
ranges. So to do this we call filemap_fdatawrite_range() on the range of bytes.
Then we convert the DIRTY extents to NEED_WAIT extents. When we then call
btrfs_wait_marked_extents() we only have to filemap_fdatawait_range() on that
range and clear the NEED_WAIT extents. This doesn't get us back to our original
speeds, but I've been seeing ~1380 ops/second, which is a <5% regression as
opposed to a >15% regression. That is acceptable given that the original commit
greatly reduces our latency to begin with. Thanks,

Checksums are charged in 2 different ways. The first case is when we're writing
to the disk, we account for the new checksums with the delalloc block rsv. In
order for this to work we check if we're allocating a block for the csum root
and if trans->block_rsv == the delalloc block rsv. But when we're deleting the
csums because of cow, this is charged to the global block rsv, and is done when
we run the delayed refs. So we need to make sure that trans->block_rsv == NULL
when running the delayed refs. So set it to NULL and reset it in
should_end_transaction, and set it to NULL in commit_transaction. This got rid
of the ridiculous amount of warnings I was seeing when trying to do a balance.

While debugging a different issue I noticed that we were always reserving space
when we tried to use our truncate block rsv's. This is because they didn't have
a ->size value, so use_block_rsv just assumes there is nothing reserved and it
does a reserve_metadata_bytes. This is because btrfs_check_block_rsv() doesn't
actually add to the size of the block rsv. That seems to be the right thing to
do so set ->size to the minimum truncate size we need, since we will always only
refill to that size anyway, and this way everything works out correctly.

bump the size up to 8k, however we've only accounted for 4k in reservations in
all of our supporting logic, so we'll go to free the 4k and end up having a size
of 4k, which will cause us to later not free as much space. I saw this doing
