This patch removes the pinned_mutex. The extent io map has an internal tree
lock that protects the tree itself, and since we only copy the extent io map
when we are committing the transaction we don't need it there. We also don't
need it when caching the block group since searching through the tree is also
protected by the internal map spin lock.

This patch removes the block group alloc mutex used to protect the free space
tree for allocations and replaces it with a spin lock which is used only to
protect the free space rb tree. This means we only take the lock when we are
directly manipulating the tree, which makes us a touch faster with
multi-threaded workloads.
This patch also gets rid of btrfs_find_free_space and replaces it with
btrfs_find_space_for_alloc, which takes the number of bytes you want to
allocate, and empty_size, which is used to indicate how much free space should
be at the end of the allocation.
It will return an offset for the allocator to use. If we don't end up using it
we _must_ call btrfs_add_free_space to put it back. This is the tradeoff to
kill the alloc_mutex, since we need to make sure nobody else comes along and
takes our space.

Renames and truncates are both common ways to replace old data with new
data. The filesystem can make an effort to make sure the new data is
on disk before actually replacing the old data.
This is especially important for rename, which many application use as
though it were atomic for both the data and the metadata involved. The
current btrfs code will happily replace a file that is fully on disk
with one that was just created and still has pending IO.
If we crash after transaction commit but before the IO is done, we'll end
up replacing a good file with a zero length file. The solution used
here is to create a list of inodes that need special ordering and force
them to disk before the commit is done. This is similar to the
ext3 style data=ordering, except it is only done on selected files.
Btrfs is able to get away with this because it does not wait on commits
very often, even for fsync (which use a sub-commit).
For renames, we order the file when it wasn't already
on disk and when it is replacing an existing file. Larger files
are sent to filemap_flush right away (before the transaction handle is
opened).
For truncates, we order if the file goes from non-zero size down to
zero size. This is a little different, because at the time of the
truncate the file has no dirty bytes to order. But, we flag the inode
so that it is added to the ordered list on close (via release method). We
also immediately add it to the ordered list of the current transaction
so that we can try to flush down any writes the application sneaks in
before commit.

The tree logging code allows individual files or directories to be logged
without including operations on other files and directories in the FS.
It tries to commit the minimal set of changes to disk in order to
fsync the single file or directory that was sent to fsync or O_SYNC.
The tree logging code was allowing files and directories to be unlinked
if they were part of a rename operation where only one directory
in the rename was in the fsync log. This patch adds a few new rules
to the tree logging.
1) on rename or unlink, if the inode being unlinked isn't in the fsync
log, we must force a full commit before doing an fsync of the directory
where the unlink was done. The commit isn't done during the unlink,
but it is forced the next time we try to log the parent directory.
Solution: record transid of last unlink/rename per directory when the
directory wasn't already logged. For renames this is only done when
renaming to a different directory.
mkdir foo/some_dir
normal commit
rename foo/some_dir foo2/some_dir
mkdir foo/some_dir
fsync foo/some_dir/some_file
The fsync above will unlink the original some_dir without recording
it in its new location (foo2). After a crash, some_dir will be gone
unless the fsync of some_file forces a full commit
2) we must log any new names for any file or dir that is in the fsync
log. This way we make sure not to lose files that are unlinked during
the same transaction.
2a) we must log any new names for any file or dir during rename
when the directory they are being removed from was logged.
2a is actually the more important variant. Without the extra logging
a crash might unlink the old name without recreating the new one
3) after a crash, we must go through any directories with a link count
of zero and redo the rm -rf
mkdir f1/foo
normal commit
rm -rf f1/foo
fsync(f1)
The directory f1 was fully removed from the FS, but fsync was never
called on f1, only its parent dir. After a crash the rm -rf must
be replayed. This must be able to recurse down the entire
directory tree. The inode link count fixup code takes care of the
ugly details.

btrfs_mark_buffer dirty would set dirty bits in the extent_io tree
for the buffers it was dirtying. This may require a kmalloc and it
was not atomic. So, anyone who called btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty had to
set any btree locks they were holding to blocking first.
This commit changes dirty tracking for extent buffers to just use a flag
in the extent buffer. Now that we have one and only one extent buffer
per page, this can be safely done without losing dirty bits along the way.
This also introduces a path->leave_spinning flag that callers of
btrfs_search_slot can use to indicate they will properly deal with a
path returned where all the locks are spinning instead of blocking.
Many of the btree search callers now expect spinning paths,
resulting in better btree concurrency overall.

The delayed reference queue maintains pending operations that need to
be done to the extent allocation tree. These are processed by
finding records in the tree that are not currently being processed one at
a time.
This is slow because it uses lots of time searching through the rbtree
and because it creates lock contention on the extent allocation tree
when lots of different procs are running delayed refs at the same time.
This commit changes things to grab a cluster of refs for processing,
using a cursor into the rbtree as the starting point of the next search.
This way we walk smoothly through the rbtree.

The extent allocation tree maintains a reference count and full
back reference information for every extent allocated in the
filesystem. For subvolume and snapshot trees, every time
a block goes through COW, the new copy of the block adds a reference
on every block it points to.
If a btree node points to 150 leaves, then the COW code needs to go
and add backrefs on 150 different extents, which might be spread all
over the extent allocation tree.
These updates currently happen during btrfs_cow_block, and most COWs
happen during btrfs_search_slot. btrfs_search_slot has locks held
on both the parent and the node we are COWing, and so we really want
to avoid IO during the COW if we can.
This commit adds an rbtree of pending reference count updates and extent
allocations. The tree is ordered by byte number of the extent and byte number
of the parent for the back reference. The tree allows us to:
1) Modify back references in something close to disk order, reducing seeks
2) Significantly reduce the number of modifications made as block pointers
are balanced around
3) Do all of the extent insertion and back reference modifications outside
of the performance critical btrfs_search_slot code.
#3 has the added benefit of greatly reducing the btrfs stack footprint.
The extent allocation tree modifications are done without the deep
(and somewhat recursive) call chains used in the past.
These delayed back reference updates must be done before the transaction
commits, and so the rbtree is tied to the transaction. Throttling is
implemented to help keep the queue of backrefs at a reasonable size.
Since there was a similar mechanism in place for the extent tree
extents, that is removed and replaced by the delayed reference tree.

Storage allocated to different raid levels in btrfs is tracked by
a btrfs_space_info structure, and all of the current space_infos are
collected into a list_head.
Most filesystems have 3 or 4 of these structs total, and the list is
only changed when new raid levels are added or at unmount time.
This commit adds rcu locking on the list head, and properly frees
things at unmount time. It also clears the space_info->full flag
whenever new space is added to the FS.
The locking for the space info list goes like this:
reads: protected by rcu_read_lock()
writes: protected by the chunk_mutex
At unmount time we don't need special locking because all the readers
are gone.

This is a step in the direction of better -ENOSPC handling. Instead of
checking the global bytes counter we check the space_info bytes counters to
make sure we have enough space.
If we don't we go ahead and try to allocate a new chunk, and then if that fails
we return -ENOSPC. This patch adds two counters to btrfs_space_info,
bytes_delalloc and bytes_may_use.
bytes_delalloc account for extents we've actually setup for delalloc and will
be allocated at some point down the line.
bytes_may_use is to keep track of how many bytes we may use for delalloc at
some point. When we actually set the extent_bit for the delalloc bytes we
subtract the reserved bytes from the bytes_may_use counter. This keeps us from
not actually being able to allocate space for any delalloc bytes.

Btrfs is currently using spin_lock_nested with a nested value based
on the tree depth of the block. But, this doesn't quite work because
the max tree depth is bigger than what spin_lock_nested can deal with,
and because locks are sometimes taken before the level field is filled in.
The solution here is to use lockdep_set_class_and_name instead, and to
set the class before unlocking the pages when the block is read from the
disk and just after init of a freshly allocated tree block.
btrfs_clear_path_blocking is also changed to take the locks in the proper
order, and it also makes sure all the locks currently held are properly
set to blocking before it tries to retake the spinlocks. Otherwise, lockdep
gets upset about bad lock orderin.

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

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.

then updates corresponding root item in the log root tree;
sync the log root tree; then update the super block.

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.

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.

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

opened on demand at mounting time. If any seed device is

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 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 patch improves the space balancing code to keep more sharing
of tree blocks. The only case that breaks sharing of tree blocks is
data extents get fragmented during balancing. The main changes in
this patch are:
Add a 'drop sub-tree' function. This solves the problem in old code
that BTRFS_HEADER_FLAG_WRITTEN check breaks sharing of tree block.
Remove relocation mapping tree. Relocation mappings are stored in
struct btrfs_ref_path and updated dynamically during walking up/down
the reference path. This reduces CPU usage and simplifies code.
This patch also fixes a bug. Root items for reloc trees should be
updated in btrfs_free_reloc_root.

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.

Creating a subvolume is in many ways like a normal VFS ->mkdir, and we
really need to play with the VFS topology locking rules. So instead of
just creating the snapshot on disk and then later getting rid of
confliting aliases do it correctly from the start. This will become
especially important once we allow for subvolumes anywhere in the tree,
and not just below a hidden root.
Note that snapshots will need the same treatment, but do to the delay
in creating them we can't do it currently. Chris promised to fix that
issue, so I'll wait on that.

The offset field in struct btrfs_extent_ref records the position
inside file that file extent is referenced by. In the new back
reference system, tree leaves holding references to file extent
are recorded explicitly. We can scan these tree leaves very quickly, so the
offset field is not required.
This patch also makes the back reference system check the objectid
when extents are in deleting.

This patch makes btrfs count space allocated to file in bytes instead
of 512 byte sectors.
Everything else in btrfs uses a byte count instead of sector sizes or
blocks sizes, so this fits better.
