Most of the btrfs metadata operations can be protected by a spinlock,
but some operations still need to schedule.
So far, btrfs has been using a mutex along with a trylock loop,
most of the time it is able to avoid going for the full mutex, so
the trylock loop is a big performance gain.
This commit is step one for getting rid of the blocking locks entirely.
btrfs_tree_lock takes a spinlock, and the code explicitly switches
to a blocking lock when it starts an operation that can schedule.
We'll be able get rid of the blocking locks in smaller pieces over time.
Tracing allows us to find the most common cause of blocking, so we
can start with the hot spots first.
The basic idea is:
btrfs_tree_lock() returns with the spin lock held
btrfs_set_lock_blocking() sets the EXTENT_BUFFER_BLOCKING bit in
the extent buffer flags, and then drops the spin lock. The buffer is
still considered locked by all of the btrfs code.
If btrfs_tree_lock gets the spinlock but finds the blocking bit set, it drops
the spin lock and waits on a wait queue for the blocking bit to go away.
Much of the code that needs to set the blocking bit finishes without actually
blocking a good percentage of the time. So, an adaptive spin is still
used against the blocking bit to avoid very high context switch rates.
btrfs_clear_lock_blocking() clears the blocking bit and returns
with the spinlock held again.
btrfs_tree_unlock() can be called on either blocking or spinning locks,
it does the right thing based on the blocking bit.
ctree.c has a helper function to set/clear all the locked buffers in a
path as blocking.

Before metadata is written to disk, it is updated to reflect that writeout
has begun. Once this update is done, the block must be cow'd before it
can be modified again.
This update was originally synchronized by using a per-fs spinlock. Today
the buffers for the metadata blocks are locked before writeout begins,
and everyone that tests the flag has the buffer locked as well.
So, the per-fs spinlock (called hash_lock for no good reason) is no
longer required.

To improve performance, btrfs_sync_log merges tree log sync
requests. But it wrongly merges sync requests for different
tree logs. If multiple tree logs are synced at the same time,
only one of them actually gets synced.
This patch has following changes to fix the bug:
Move most tree log related fields in btrfs_fs_info to
btrfs_root. This allows merging sync requests separately
for each tree log.
Don't insert root item into the log root tree immediately
after log tree is allocated. Root item for log tree is
inserted when log tree get synced for the first time. This
allows syncing the log root tree without first syncing all
log trees.
At tree-log sync, btrfs_sync_log first sync the log tree;
then updates corresponding root item in the log root tree;
sync the log root tree; then update the super block.

Checksums on data can be disabled by mount option, so it's
possible some data extents don't have checksums or have
invalid checksums. This causes trouble for data relocation.
This patch contains following things to make data relocation
work.
1) make nodatasum/nodatacow mount option only affects new
files. Checksums and COW on data are only controlled by the
inode flags.
2) check the existence of checksum in the nodatacow checker.
If checksums exist, force COW the data extent. This ensure that
checksum for a given block is either valid or does not exist.
3) update data relocation code to properly handle the case
of checksum missing.

This finishes off the new checksumming code by removing csum items
for extents that are no longer in use.
The trick is doing it without racing because a single csum item may
hold csums for more than one extent. Extra checks are added to
btrfs_csum_file_blocks to make sure that we are using the correct
csum item after dropping locks.
A new btrfs_split_item is added to split a single csum item so it
can be split without dropping the leaf lock. This is used to
remove csum bytes from the middle of an item.

Puts reserved space into the super block and inode
Adds a log root transid to the super so we can pick the newest super

Btrfs stores checksums for each data block. Until now, they have
been stored in the subvolume trees, indexed by the inode that is
referencing the data block. This means that when we read the inode,
we've probably read in at least some checksums as well.
But, this has a few problems:
* The checksums are indexed by logical offset in the file. When
compression is on, this means we have to do the expensive checksumming
on the uncompressed data. It would be faster if we could checksum
the compressed data instead.
* If we implement encryption, we'll be checksumming the plain text and
storing that on disk. This is significantly less secure.
* For either compression or encryption, we have to get the plain text
back before we can verify the checksum as correct. This makes the raid
layer balancing and extent moving much more expensive.
* It makes the front end caching code more complex, as we have touch
the subvolume and inodes as we cache extents.
* There is potentitally one copy of the checksum in each subvolume
referencing an extent.
The solution used here is to store the extent checksums in a dedicated
tree. This allows us to index the checksums by phyiscal extent
start and length. It means:
* The checksum is against the data stored on disk, after any compression
or encryption is done.
* The checksum is stored in a central location, and can be verified without
following back references, or reading inodes.
This makes compression significantly faster by reducing the amount of
data that needs to be checksummed. It will also allow much faster
raid management code in general.
The checksums are indexed by a key with a fixed objectid (a magic value
in ctree.h) and offset set to the starting byte of the extent. This
allows us to copy the checksum items into the fsync log tree directly (or
any other tree), without having to invent a second format for them.

snapshot and subvol creation instead of a combining them into one.
The subvol ioctl does:
btrfsctl -S subvol_name parent_dir
After the ioctl is done subvol_name lives inside parent_dir.
The snapshot ioctl does:
btrfsctl -s path_for_snapshot root_to_snapshot
path_for_snapshot can be an absolute or relative path. btrfsctl breaks it up
into directory and basename components.
root_to_snapshot can be any file or directory in the FS. The snapshot
is taken of the entire root where that file lives.

Seed device is a special btrfs with SEEDING super flag
set and can only be mounted in read-only mode. Seed
devices allow people to create new btrfs on top of it.
The new FS contains the same contents as the seed device,
but it can be mounted in read-write mode.
This patch does the following:
1) split code in btrfs_alloc_chunk into two parts. The first part does makes
the newly allocated chunk usable, but does not do any operation that modifies
the chunk tree. The second part does the the chunk tree modifications. This
division is for the bootstrap step of adding storage to the seed device.
2) Update device management code to handle seed device.
The basic idea is: For an FS grown from seed devices, its
seed devices are put into a list. Seed devices are
opened on demand at mounting time. If any seed device is
missing or has been changed, btrfs kernel module will
refuse to mount the FS.

While profiling the allocator I noticed a good amount of time was being spent in
finish_current_insert and del_pending_extents, and as the filesystem filled up
more and more time was being spent in those functions. This patch aims to try
and reduce that problem. This happens two ways
1) track if we tried to delete an extent that we are going to update or insert.
Once we get into finish_current_insert we discard any of the extents that were
marked for deletion. This saves us from doing unnecessary work almost every
time finish_current_insert runs.
2) Batch insertion/updates/deletions. Instead of doing a btrfs_search_slot for
each individual extent and doing the needed operation, we instead keep the leaf
around and see if there is anything else we can do on that leaf. On the insert
case I introduced a btrfs_insert_some_items, which will take an array of keys
with an array of data_sizes and try and squeeze in as many of those keys as
possible, and then return how many keys it was able to insert. In the update
case we search for an extent ref, update the ref and then loop through the leaf
to see if any of the other refs we are looking to update are on that leaf, and
then once we are done we release the path and search for the next ref we need to
update. And finally for the deletion we try and delete the extent+ref in pairs,
so we will try to find extent+ref pairs next to the extent we are trying to free
and free them in bulk if possible.
This along with the other cluster fix that Chris pushed out a bit ago helps make
the allocator preform more uniformly as it fills up the disk. There is still a
slight drop as we fill up the disk since we start having to stick new blocks in
odd places which results in more COW's than on a empty fs, but the drop is not
nearly as severe as it was before.

When reading compressed extents, try to put pages into the page cache
for any pages covered by the compressed extent that readpages didn't already
preload.
Add an async work queue to handle transformations at delayed allocation processing
time. Right now this is just compression. The workflow is:
1) Find offsets in the file marked for delayed allocation
2) Lock the pages
3) Lock the state bits
4) Call the async delalloc code
The async delalloc code clears the state lock bits and delalloc bits. It is
important this happens before the range goes into the work queue because
otherwise it might deadlock with other work queue items that try to lock
those extent bits.
The file pages are compressed, and if the compression doesn't work the
pages are written back directly.
An ordered work queue is used to make sure the inodes are written in the same
order that pdflush or writepages sent them down.
This changes extent_write_cache_pages to let the writepage function

This patch removes the giant fs_info->alloc_mutex and replaces it with a bunch
of little locks.
There is now a pinned_mutex, which is used when messing with the pinned_extents
extent io tree, and the extent_ins_mutex which is used with the pending_del and
extent_ins extent io trees.
The locking for the extent tree stuff was inspired by a patch that Yan Zheng
wrote to fix a race condition, I cleaned it up some and changed the locking
around a little bit, but the idea remains the same. Basically instead of
holding the extent_ins_mutex throughout the processing of an extent on the
extent_ins or pending_del trees, we just hold it while we're searching and when
we clear the bits on those trees, and lock the extent for the duration of the
operations on the extent.
Also to keep from getting hung up waiting to lock an extent, I've added a
try_lock_extent so if we cannot lock the extent, move on to the next one in the
tree and we'll come back to that one. I have tested this heavily and it does
not appear to break anything. This has to be applied on top of my
find_free_extent redo patch.
I tested this patch on top of Yan's space reblancing code and it worked fine.

So there is an odd case where we can possibly return -ENOSPC when there is in
fact space to be had. It only happens with Metadata writes, and happens _very_
infrequently. What has to happen is we have to allocate have allocated out of
the first logical byte on the disk, which would set last_alloc to
first_logical_byte(root, 0), so search_start == orig_search_start. We then
need to allocate for normal metadata, so BTRFS_BLOCK_GROUP_METADATA |
BTRFS_BLOCK_GROUP_DUP. We will do a block lookup for the given search_start,
block_group_bits() won't match and we'll go to choose another block group.
However because search_start matches orig_search_start we go to see if we can
allocate a chunk.
If we are in the situation that we cannot allocate a chunk, we fail and ENOSPC.
This is kind of a big flaw of the way find_free_extent works, as it along with
find_free_space loop through _all_ of the block groups, not just the ones that
we want to allocate out of. This patch completely kills find_free_space and
rolls it into find_free_extent. I've introduced a sort of state machine into
this, which will make it easier to get cache miss information out of the
allocator, and will work well with my locking changes.
The basic flow is this: We have the variable loop which is 0, meaning we are
in the hint phase. We lookup the block group for the hint, and lookup the
space_info for what we want to allocate out of. If the block group we were
pointed at by the hint either isn't of the correct type, or just doesn't have
the space we need, we set head to space_info->block_groups, so we start at the
beginning of the block groups for this particular space info, and loop through.
This is also where we add the empty_cluster to total_needed. At this point
loop is set to 1 and we just loop through all of the block groups for this
particular space_info looking for the space we need, just as find_free_space
would have done, except we only hit the block groups we want and not _all_ of
the block groups. If we come full circle we see if we can allocate a chunk.
If we cannot of course we exit with -ENOSPC and we are good. If not we start
over at space_info->block_groups and loop through again, with loop == 2. If we
come full circle and haven't found what we need then we exit with -ENOSPC.
I've been running this for a couple of days now and it seems stable, and I
haven't yet hit a -ENOSPC when there was plenty of space left.
Also I've made a groups_sem to handle the group list for the space_info. This
is part of my locking changes, but is relatively safe and seems better than
holding the space_info spinlock over that entire search time. Thanks,

This is a large change for adding compression on reading and writing,
both for inline and regular extents. It does some fairly large
surgery to the writeback paths.
Compression is off by default and enabled by mount -o compress. Even
when the -o compress mount option is not used, it is possible to read
compressed extents off the disk.
If compression for a given set of pages fails to make them smaller, the
file is flagged to avoid future compression attempts later.
* While finding delalloc extents, the pages are locked before being sent down
to the delalloc handler. This allows the delalloc handler to do complex things
such as cleaning the pages, marking them writeback and starting IO on their
behalf.
* Inline extents are inserted at delalloc time now. This allows us to compress
the data before inserting the inline extent, and it allows us to insert
an inline extent that spans multiple pages.
* All of the in-memory extent representations (extent_map.c, ordered-data.c etc)
are changed to record both an in-memory size and an on disk size, as well
as a flag for compression.
From a disk format point of view, the extent pointers in the file are changed
to record the on disk size of a given extent and some encoding flags.
Space in the disk format is allocated for compression encoding, as well
as encryption and a generic 'other' field. Neither the encryption or the
'other' field are currently used.
In order to limit the amount of data read for a single random read in the
file, the size of a compressed extent is limited to 128k. This is a
software only limit, the disk format supports u64 sized compressed extents.
In order to limit the ram consumed while processing extents, the uncompressed
size of a compressed extent is limited to 256k. This is a software only limit
and will be subject to tuning later.
Checksumming is still done on compressed extents, and it is done on the
uncompressed version of the data. This way additional encodings can be
layered on without having to figure out which encoding to checksum.
Compression happens at delalloc time, which is basically singled threaded because
it is usually done by a single pdflush thread. This makes it tricky to
spread the compression load across all the cpus on the box. We'll have to
look at parallel pdflush walks of dirty inodes at a later time.
Decompression is hooked into readpages and it does spread across CPUs nicely.

This patch updates the space balancing code to utilize the new
backref format. Before, btrfs-vol -b would break any COW links
on data blocks or metadata. This was slow and caused the amount
of space used to explode if a large number of snapshots were present.
The new code can keeps the sharing of all data extents and
most of the tree blocks.
To maintain the sharing of data extents, the space balance code uses
a seperate inode hold data extent pointers, then updates the references
to point to the new location.
To maintain the sharing of tree blocks, the space balance code uses
reloc trees to relocate tree blocks in reference counted roots.
There is one reloc tree for each subvol, and all reloc trees share
same root key objectid. Reloc trees are snapshots of the latest
committed roots of subvols (root->commit_root).
To relocate a tree block referenced by a subvol, there are two steps.
COW the block through subvol's reloc tree, then update block pointer in
the subvol to point to the new block. Since all reloc trees share
same root key objectid, doing special handing for tree blocks
owned by them is easy. Once a tree block has been COWed in one
reloc tree, we can use the resulting new block directly when the
same block is required to COW again through other reloc trees.
In this way, relocated tree blocks are shared between reloc trees,
so they are also shared between subvols.

reason to do this is because most allocations come with a hint byte where to
start, so we can usually find a chunk of free space at that hint byte to satisfy
the allocation and get good space packing. If we cannot find free space at or
after the given offset we fall back on looking for a chunk of the given size as
close to that given offset as possible. When we fall back on the size search we
also try to find a slot as close to the size we want as possible, to avoid
breaking small chunks off of huge areas if possible.
2) remove the extent_io_tree that tracked the block group cache from fs_info and
replaced it with an rb-tree thats tracks block group cache via offset. also
added a per space_info list that tracks the block group cache for the particular
space so we can lookup related block groups easily.
3) cleaned up the allocation code to make it a little easier to read and a
little less complicated. Basically there are 3 steps, first look from our
provided hint. If we couldn't find from that given hint, start back at our
original search start and look for space from there. If that fails try to
allocate space if we can and start looking again. If not we're screwed and need
to start over again.
4) small fixes. there were some issues in volumes.c where we wouldn't allocate
the rest of the disk. fixed cow_file_range to actually pass the alloc_hint,
which has helped a good bit in making the fs_mark test I run have semi-normal
results as we run out of space. Generally with data allocations we don't track
where we last allocated from, so everytime we did a data allocation we'd search
through every block group that we have looking for free space. Now searching a
block group with no free space isn't terribly time consuming, it was causing a
slight degradation as we got more data block groups. The alloc_hint has fixed
this slight degredation and made things semi-normal.
There is still one nagging problem I'm working on where we will get ENOSPC when
there is definitely plenty of space. This only happens with metadata
allocations, and only when we are almost full. So you generally hit the 85%
mark first, but sometimes you'll hit the BUG before you hit the 85% wall. I'm
still tracking it down, but until then this seems to be pretty stable and make a
significant performance gain.

This is the same way the transaction code makes sure that all the
other tree blocks are safely on disk. There's an extent_io tree
for each root, and any blocks allocated to the tree logs are
recorded in that tree.
At tree-log sync, the extent_io tree is walked to flush down the
dirty pages and wait for them.
The main benefit is less time spent walking the tree log and skipping
clean pages, and getting sequential IO down to the drive.
