David Sterba e67c718b5b btrfs: add more __cold annotations
The __cold functions are placed to a special section, as they're
expected to be called rarely. This could help i-cache prefetches or help
compiler to decide which branches are more/less likely to be taken
without any other annotations needed.

Though we can't add more __exit annotations, it's still possible to add
__cold (that's also added with __exit). That way the following function
categories are tagged:

- printf wrappers, error messages
- exit helpers

[Cause]
For 'compress' and 'compress_force' options, its token doesn't expect
any parameter so its args[0] contains uninitialized data.
Accessing args[0] will cause above wild memory access.

[Fix]
For Opt_compress and Opt_compress_force, set compression level to
the default.

Liu Bo f82b735936 Btrfs: add write_flags for compression bio
Compression code path has only flaged bios with REQ_OP_WRITE no matter
where the bios come from, but it could be a sync write if fsync starts
this writeback or a normal writeback write if wb kthread starts a
periodic writeback.

It breaks the rule that sync writes and writeback writes need to be
differentiated from each other, because from the POV of block layer,
all bios need to be recognized by these flags in order to do some
management, e.g. throttlling.

This passes writeback_control to compression write path so that it can
send bios with proper flags to block layer.

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.

Required patch: "btrfs: prepare for extensions in compression options"

Linus Torvalds e7cdb60fd2 Merge branch 'zstd-minimal' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs
Pull zstd support from Chris Mason:
 "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.

Nick Terrell 5c1aab1dd5 btrfs: Add zstd support
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 |

Eric Sandeen 48a3b6366f btrfs: make static code static & remove dead code
Big patch, but all it does is add statics to functions which
are in fact static, then remove the associated dead-code fallout.

removed functions:

btrfs_iref_to_path()
__btrfs_lookup_delayed_deletion_item()
__btrfs_search_delayed_insertion_item()
__btrfs_search_delayed_deletion_item()
find_eb_for_page()
btrfs_find_block_group()
range_straddles_pages()
extent_range_uptodate()
btrfs_file_extent_length()
btrfs_scrub_cancel_devid()
btrfs_start_transaction_lflush()

btrfs_print_tree() is left because it is used for debugging.
btrfs_start_transaction_lflush() and btrfs_reada_detach() are
left for symmetry.

ulist.c functions are left, another patch will take care of those.

Li Zefan a6fa6fae40 btrfs: Add lzo compression support
Lzo is a much faster compression algorithm than gzib, so would allow
more users to enable transparent compression, and some users can
choose from compression ratio and speed for different applications

Usage:

 # mount -t btrfs -o compress[=<zlib,lzo>] dev /mnt
or
 # mount -t btrfs -o compress-force[=<zlib,lzo>] dev /mnt

"-o compress" without argument is still allowed for compatability.

Compatibility:

If we mount a filesystem with lzo compression, it will not be able be
mounted in old kernels. One reason is, otherwise btrfs will directly
dump compressed data, which sits in inline extent, to user.

Performance:

The test copied a linux source tarball (~400M) from an ext4 partition
to the btrfs partition, and then extracted it.

Li Zefan 261507a02c btrfs: Allow to add new compression algorithm
Make the code aware of compression type, instead of always assuming
zlib compression.

Also make the zlib workspace function as common code for all
compression types.

Chris Mason c8b978188c Btrfs: Add zlib compression support
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.
