Now that we have the combo of flushing twice, which can make sure IO
have started since the second flush will wait for page lock which
won't be unlocked unless setting page writeback and queuing ordered
extents, we don't need %async_submit_draining, %async_delalloc_pages
and %nr_async_submits to tell whether the IO has actually started.
Moreover, all the flushers in use are followed by functions that wait
for ordered extents to complete, so %nr_async_submits, which tracks
whether bio's async submit has made progress, doesn't really make
sense.
However, %async_delalloc_pages is still required by shrink_delalloc()
as that function doesn't flush twice in the normal case (just issues a
writeback with WB_REASON_FS_FREE_SPACE).

This was intended to congest higher layers to not send bios, but as
1) the congested bit has been taken by writeback
Async bios come from buffered writes and DIO writes.
For DIO writes, we want to submit them ASAP, while for buffered writes,
writeback uses balance_dirty_pages() to throttle how much dirty pages we
can have.
2) and no one is waiting for %nr_async_bios down to zero,
Historically, it was introduced along with changes which let
checksumming workload spread accross different cpus. And at that time,
pdflush was used instead of per-bdi flushing, perhaps pdflush did not
have the necessary information for writeback to do throttling.
We can safely remove them now.

Current check_leaf() function does a good job checking key order and
item offset/size.
However it only checks from slot 0 to the last but one slot, this is
good but makes later expansion hard.
So this refactoring iterates from slot 0 to the last slot.
For key comparison, it uses a key with all 0 as initial key, so all
valid keys should be larger than that.
And for item size/offset checks, it compares current item end with
previous item offset.
For slot 0, use leaf end as a special case.
This makes later item/key offset checks and item size checks easier to
be implemented.
Also, makes check_leaf() to return -EUCLEAN other than -EIO to indicate
error.

Since both committing transaction and writing log-tree are doing
plugging on metadata IO, we can unify to use %sync_writers to benefit
both cases, instead of checking bio_flags while writing meta blocks of
log-tree.
We can remove this bio_flags because in order to write dirty blocks,
log tree also uses btrfs_write_marked_extents(), inside which we
have enabled %sync_writers, therefore, every write goes in a
synchronous way, so does checksuming.
Please also note that, bio_flags is applied per-context while
%sync_writers is applied per-inode, so this might incur some overhead, ie.
1) while log tree is flushing its dirty blocks via
btrfs_write_marked_extents(), in which %sync_writers is increased
by one.
2) in the meantime, some writeback operations may happen upon btrfs's
metadata inode, so these writes go synchronously, too.
However, AFAICS, the overhead is not a big one while the win is that
we unify the two places that needs synchronous way and remove a
special hack/flag.
This removes the bio_flags related stuff for writing log-tree.

"Nick Terrell's patch series to add zstd support to the kernel has been
floating around for a while. After talking with Dave Sterba, Herbert
and Phillip, we decided to send the whole thing in as one pull
request.
zstd is a big win in speed over zlib and in compression ratio over
lzo, and the compression team here at FB has gotten great results
using it in production. Nick will continue to update the kernel side
with new improvements from the open source zstd userland code.
Nick has a number of benchmarks for the main zstd code in his lib/zstd
commit:
I ran the benchmarks on a Ubuntu 14.04 VM with 2 cores and 4 GiB
of RAM. The VM is running on a MacBook Pro with a 3.1 GHz Intel
Core i7 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a SSD. I benchmarked using
`silesia.tar` [3], which is 211,988,480 B large. Run the following
commands for the benchmark:
sudo modprobe zstd_compress_test
sudo mknod zstd_compress_test c 245 0
sudo cp silesia.tar zstd_compress_test
The time is reported by the time of the userland `cp`.
The MB/s is computed with
1,536,217,008 B / time(buffer size, hash)
which includes the time to copy from userland.
The Adjusted MB/s is computed with
1,536,217,088 B / (time(buffer size, hash) - time(buffer size, none)).
The memory reported is the amount of memory the compressor
requests.

I benchmarked zstd decompression using the same method on the same
machine. The benchmark file is located in the upstream zstd repo
under `contrib/linux-kernel/zstd_decompress_test.c` [4]. The
memory reported is the amount of memory required to decompress
data compressed with the given compression level. If you know the
maximum size of your input, you can reduce the memory usage of
decompression irrespective of the compression level.

This way we don't need a block_device structure to submit I/O. The
block_device has different life time rules from the gendisk and
request_queue and is usually only available when the block device node
is open. Other callers need to explicitly create one (e.g. the lightnvm
passthrough code, or the new nvme multipathing code).
For the actual I/O path all that we need is the gendisk, which exists
once per block device. But given that the block layer also does
partition remapping we additionally need a partition index, which is
used for said remapping in generic_make_request.
Note that all the block drivers generally want request_queue or
sometimes the gendisk, so this removes a layer of indirection all

This patch provides a band aid to improve the 'out of the box'
behaviour of btrfs for disks that are detected as being an ssd. In a
general purpose mixed workload scenario, the current ssd mode causes
overallocation of available raw disk space for data, while leaving
behind increasing amounts of unused fragmented free space. This
situation leads to early ENOSPC problems which are harming user
experience and adoption of btrfs as a general purpose filesystem.
This patch modifies the data extent allocation behaviour of the ssd mode
to make it behave identical to nossd mode. The metadata behaviour and
additional ssd_spread option stay untouched so far.
Recommendations for future development are to reconsider the current
oversimplified nossd / ssd distinction and the broken detection
mechanism based on the rotational attribute in sysfs and provide
experienced users with a more flexible way to choose allocator behaviour
for data and metadata, optimized for certain use cases, while keeping
sane 'out of the box' default settings. The internals of the current
btrfs code have more potential than what currently gets exposed to the
user to choose from.
The SSD story...
In the first year of btrfs development, around early 2008, btrfs
gained a mount option which enables specific functionality for
filesystems on solid state devices. The first occurance of this
functionality is in commit e18e4809, labeled "Add mount -o ssd, which
includes optimizations for seek free storage".
The effect on allocating free space for doing (data) writes is to
'cluster' writes together, writing them out in contiguous space, as
opposed to a 'tetris' way of putting all separate writes into any free
space fragment that fits (which is what the -o nossd behaviour does).
A somewhat simplified explanation of what happens is that, when for
example, the 'cluster' size is set to 2MiB, when we do some writes, the
data allocator will search for a free space block that is 2MiB big, and
put the writes in there. The ssd mode itself might allow a 2MiB cluster
to be composed of multiple free space extents with some existing data in
between, while the additional ssd_spread mount option kills off this
option and requires fully free space.
The idea behind this is (commit 536ac8ae): "The [...] clusters make it
more likely a given IO will completely overwrite the ssd block, so it
doesn't have to do an internal rwm cycle."; ssd block meaning nand erase
block. So, effectively this means applying a "locality based algorithm"
and trying to outsmart the actual ssd.
Since then, various changes have been made to the involved code, but the
basic idea is still present, and gets activated whenever the ssd mount
option is active. This also happens by default, when the rotational flag
as seen at /sys/block/<device>/queue/rotational is set to 0.
However, there's a number of problems with this approach.
First, what the optimization is trying to do is outsmart the ssd by
assuming there is a relation between the physical address space of the
block device as seen by btrfs and the actual physical storage of the
ssd, and then adjusting data placement. However, since the introduction
of the Flash Translation Layer (FTL) which is a part of the internal
controller of an ssd, these attempts are futile. The use of good quality
FTL in consumer ssd products might have been limited in 2008, but this
situation has changed drastically soon after that time. Today, even the
flash memory in your automatic cat feeding machine or your grandma's
wheelchair has a full featured one.
Second, the behaviour as described above results in the filesystem being
filled up with badly fragmented free space extents because of relatively
small pieces of space that are freed up by deletes, but not selected
again as part of a 'cluster'. Since the algorithm prefers allocating a
new chunk over going back to tetris mode, the end result is a filesystem
in which all raw space is allocated, but which is composed of
underutilized chunks with a 'shotgun blast' pattern of fragmented free
space. Usually, the next problematic thing that happens is the
filesystem wanting to allocate new space for metadata, which causes the
filesystem to fail in spectacular ways.
Third, the default mount options you get for an ssd ('ssd' mode enabled,
'discard' not enabled), in combination with spreading out writes over
the full address space and ignoring freed up space leads to worst case
behaviour in providing information to the ssd itself, since it will
never learn that all the free space left behind is actually free. There
are two ways to let an ssd know previously written data does not have to
be preserved, which are sending explicit signals using discard or
fstrim, or by simply overwriting the space with new data. The worst
case behaviour is the btrfs ssd_spread mount option in combination with
not having discard enabled. It has a side effect of minimizing the reuse
of free space previously written in.
Fourth, the rotational flag in /sys/ does not reliably indicate if the
device is a locally attached ssd. For example, iSCSI or NBD displays as
non-rotational, while a loop device on an ssd shows up as rotational.
The combination of the second and third problem effectively means that
despite all the good intentions, the btrfs ssd mode reliably causes the
ssd hardware and the filesystem structures and performance to be choked
to death. The clickbait version of the title of this story would have
been "Btrfs ssd optimizations considered harmful for ssds".
The current nossd 'tetris' mode (even still without discard) allows a
pattern of overwriting much more previously used space, causing many
more implicit discards to happen because of the overwrite information
the ssd gets. The actual location in the physical address space, as seen
from the point of view of btrfs is irrelevant, because the actual writes
to the low level flash are reordered anyway thanks to the FTL.
Changes made in the code
1. Make ssd mode data allocation identical to tetris mode, like nossd.
2. Adjust and clean up filesystem mount messages so that we can easily
identify if a kernel has this patch applied or not, when providing
support to end users. Also, make better use of the *_and_info helpers to
only trigger messages on actual state changes.
Backporting notes
Notes for whoever wants to backport this patch to their 4.9 LTS kernel:
* First apply commit 951e7966 "btrfs: drop the nossd flag when
remounting with -o ssd", or fixup the differences manually.
* The rest of the conflicts are because of the fs_info refactoring. So,
for example, instead of using fs_info, it's root->fs_info in
extent-tree.c

As the single data chunk is only on sdb, so it's OK to mount as
degraded, as missing one device is OK for RAID1.

Add zstd compression and decompression support to BtrFS. zstd at its
fastest level compresses almost as well as zlib, while offering much
faster compression and decompression, approaching lzo speeds.
I benchmarked btrfs with zstd compression against no compression, lzo
compression, and zlib compression. I benchmarked two scenarios. Copying
a set of files to btrfs, and then reading the files. Copying a tarball
to btrfs, extracting it to btrfs, and then reading the extracted files.
After every operation, I call `sync` and include the sync time.
Between every pair of operations I unmount and remount the filesystem
to avoid caching. The benchmark files can be found in the upstream
zstd source repository under
`contrib/linux-kernel/{btrfs-benchmark.sh,btrfs-extract-benchmark.sh}`
[1] [2].
I ran the benchmarks on a Ubuntu 14.04 VM with 2 cores and 4 GiB of RAM.
The VM is running on a MacBook Pro with a 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7 processor,
16 GB of RAM, and a SSD.
The first compression benchmark is copying 10 copies of the unzipped
Silesia corpus [3] into a BtrFS filesystem mounted with
`-o compress-force=Method`. The decompression benchmark times how long
it takes to `tar` all 10 copies into `/dev/null`. The compression ratio is
measured by comparing the output of `df` and `du`. See the benchmark file
[1] for details. I benchmarked multiple zstd compression levels, although
the patch uses zstd level 1.
| Method | Ratio | Compression MB/s | Decompression speed |
|---------|-------|------------------|---------------------|
| None | 0.99 | 504 | 686 |
| lzo | 1.66 | 398 | 442 |
| zlib | 2.58 | 65 | 241 |
| zstd 1 | 2.57 | 260 | 383 |
| zstd 3 | 2.71 | 174 | 408 |
| zstd 6 | 2.87 | 70 | 398 |
| zstd 9 | 2.92 | 43 | 406 |
| zstd 12 | 2.93 | 21 | 408 |
| zstd 15 | 3.01 | 11 | 354 |
The next benchmark first copies `linux-4.11.6.tar` [4] to btrfs. Then it
measures the compression ratio, extracts the tar, and deletes the tar.
Then it measures the compression ratio again, and `tar`s the extracted
files into `/dev/null`. See the benchmark file [2] for details.
| Method | Tar Ratio | Extract Ratio | Copy (s) | Extract (s)| Read (s) |
|--------|-----------|---------------|----------|------------|----------|
| None | 0.97 | 0.78 | 0.981 | 5.501 | 8.807 |
| lzo | 2.06 | 1.38 | 1.631 | 8.458 | 8.585 |
| zlib | 3.40 | 1.86 | 7.750 | 21.544 | 11.744 |

For devices that support flushing, we allocate a bio, submit, wait for
it and then free it. The bio allocation does not fail so ENOMEM is not a
problem but we still may unnecessarily stress the allocation subsystem.
Instead, we can allocate the bio at the same time we allocate the device
and reuse it each time we need to flush the barriers. The bio is reset
before each use. Reference counting is simplified to just device
allocation (get) and freeing (put).
The bio used to be submitted through the integrity checker which will
find out that bio has no data attached and call submit_bio.
Status of the bio in flight needs to be tracked separately in case the
device caches get switched off between write and wait.

Currently, percpu_counter_add is a wrapper around __percpu_counter_add
which is preempt safe due to explicit calls to preempt_disable. Given
how __ prefix is used in percpu related interfaces, the naming
unfortunately creates the false sense that __percpu_counter_add is
less safe than percpu_counter_add. In terms of context-safety,
they're equivalent. The only difference is that the __ version takes
a batch parameter.
Make this a bit more explicit by just renaming __percpu_counter_add to

Observing the number of slab objects of btrfs_transaction, there's just
one active on an almost quiescent filesystem, and the number of objects
goes to about ten when sync is in progress. Then the nubmer goes down to
1. This matches the expectations of the transaction lifetime.
For such use the separate slab cache is not justified, as we do not
reuse objects frequently. For the shortlived transaction, the generic
slab (size 512) should be ok. We can optimistically expect that the 512
slabs are not all used (fragmentation) and there are free slots to take
when we do the allocation, compared to potentially allocating a whole new
page for the separate slab.
We'll lose the stats about the object use, which could be added later if
we really need them.

Is it safe to skip checking return value of btrfs_wait_tree_block_writeback?
Liu Bo: I think yes, it's used in walk_log_tree which is called in two
places, free_log_tree and log replay. For free_log_tree, it waits for
any running writeback of the extent buffer under freeing to finish in
case we need to access the eb pointer from page->private, and it's OK to
not check the return value, while for log replay, it's doesn't wait
because wc->wait is not set. So neither cares about the writeback error.
