David Sterba be95104531 btrfs: compression: attach workspace manager to the ops
There's a lot of indirection when the generic code calls into
algo-specific callbacks to reach the private workspace manager structure
and back to the generic code.

To simplify that, export the workspace manager for heuristic, LZO and
ZLIB, while ZSTD is going to use it's own manager.

Dennis Zhou d0ab62ce2d btrfs: change set_level() to bound the level passed in
Currently, the only user of set_level() is zlib which sets an internal
workspace parameter. As level is now plumbed into get_workspace(), this
can be handled there rather than separately.

This repurposes set_level() to bound the level passed in so it can be
used when setting the mounts compression level and as well as verifying
the level before getting a workspace. The other benefit is this divides
the meaning of compress(0) and get_workspace(0). The former means we
want to use the default compression level of the compression type. The
latter means we can use any workspace available.

Dennis Zhou 7bf4994304 btrfs: plumb level through the compression interface
Zlib compression supports multiple levels, but doesn't require changing
in how a workspace itself is created and managed. Zstd introduces a
different memory requirement such that higher levels of compression
require more memory.

This requires changes in how the alloc()/get() methods work for zstd.
This pach plumbs compression level through the interface as a parameter
in preparation for zstd compression levels.  This gives the compression
types opportunity to create/manage based on the compression level.

how they want to manage their workspaces.

David Sterba f51d2b5912 btrfs: allow to set compression level for zlib
Preliminary support for setting compression level for zlib, the
following works:

$ mount -o compess=zlib                 # default
$ mount -o compess=zlib0                # same
$ mount -o compess=zlib9                # level 9, slower sync, less data
$ mount -o compess=zlib1                # level 1, faster sync, more data
$ mount -o remount,compress=zlib3	# level set by remount

The compress-force works the same as compress'.  The level is visible in
the same format in /proc/mounts. Level set via file property does not
work yet.

David Sterba 6acafd1eff btrfs: switch to kvmalloc and GFP_KERNEL in lzo/zlib alloc_workspace
The compression workspace buffers are larger than a page so we use
vmalloc, unconditionally. This is not always necessary as there might be
contiguous memory available.

Let's use the kvmalloc helpers that will try kmalloc first and fallback
to vmalloc. For that they require GFP_KERNEL flags. As we now have the
alloc_workspace calls protected by memalloc_nofs in the critical
contexts, we can safely use GFP_KERNEL.

Kirill A. Shutemov 09cbfeaf1a mm, fs: get rid of PAGE_CACHE_* and page_cache_{get,release} macros
PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.

This promise never materialized.  And unlikely will.

We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE.  And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.

Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.

Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special.  They are
not.

The changes are pretty straight-forward:

 - <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;

 - PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};

 - page_cache_get() -> get_page();

 - page_cache_release() -> put_page();

This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below.  For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.

The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.

There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach.  I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch.  Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

Sergey Senozhatsky 7880991344 btrfs compression: merge inflate and deflate z_streams
`struct workspace' used for zlib compression contains two zlib
z_stream-s: `def_strm' used in zlib_compress_pages(), and `inf_strm'
used in zlib_decompress/zlib_decompress_biovec(). None of these
functions use `inf_strm' and `def_strm' simultaniously, meaning that
for every compress/decompress operation we need only one z_stream
(out of two available).

`inf_strm' and `def_strm' are different in size of ->workspace. For
inflate stream we vmalloc() zlib_inflate_workspacesize() bytes, for
deflate stream - zlib_deflate_workspacesize() bytes. On my system zlib
returns the following workspace sizes, correspondingly: 42312 and 268104
(+ guard pages).

Keep only one `z_stream' in `struct workspace' and use it for both
compression and decompression. Hence, instead of vmalloc() of two
z_stream->worskpace-s, allocate only one of size:
	max(zlib_deflate_workspacesize(), zlib_inflate_workspacesize())

Jim Keniston 565d76cb7d zlib: slim down zlib_deflate() workspace when possible
Instead of always creating a huge (268K) deflate_workspace with the
maximum compression parameters (windowBits=15, memLevel=8), allow the
caller to obtain a smaller workspace by specifying smaller parameter
values.

For example, when capturing oops and panic reports to a medium with
limited capacity, such as NVRAM, compression may be the only way to
capture the whole report.  In this case, a small workspace (24K works
fine) is a win, whether you allocate the workspace when you need it (i.e.,
during an oops or panic) or at boot time.

I've verified that this patch works with all accepted values of windowBits
(positive and negative), memLevel, and compression level.

Chris Mason 771ed689d2 Btrfs: Optimize compressed writeback and reads
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
update the wbc nr_written count.

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.
