The alloc warnings everybody has been seeing is because we have been reserving
space for csums, but we weren't actually using that space. So make
get_block_rsv() return the trans->block_rsv if we're modifying the csum root.
Also set the trans->block_rsv to NULL so that if we modify the csum root when
running delayed ref's that comes out of the global reserve like it's supposed
to. With this patch I'm not seeing those alloc warnings anymore. Thanks,

If you run xfstest 224 it you will get lots of messages about not being able to
delete inodes and that they will be cleaned up next mount. This is because
btrfs_block_rsv_check was not calling reserve_metadata_bytes with the ability to
flush, so if there was not enough space, it simply failed. But in truncate and
evict case we could easily flush space to try and get enough space to do our
work, so make btrfs_block_rsv_check take a flush argument to pass down to
reserve_metadata_bytes. Now xfstests 224 runs fine without all those
complaints. Thanks,

This patch kills off the calculation for the amount of space needed for the
orphan operations during a snapshot. The thing is we only do snapshots on
commit, so any space that is in the block_rsv->freed[] isn't going to be in the
new snapshot anyway, so there isn't any reason to require that space to be
reserved for the snapshot to occur. Thanks,

At the beginning of create_pending_snapshot, trans->block_rsv is set

btrfs_end_transaction --use_count so now its -1 <== BAD

We have to do weird things when handling enospc in the transaction joining code.
Because we've already joined the transaction we cannot commit the transaction
within the reservation code since it will deadlock, so we have to return EAGAIN
and then make sure we don't retry too many times. Instead of doing this, just
do the reservation the normal way before we join the transaction, that way we
can do whatever we want to try and reclaim space, and then if it fails we know
for sure we are out of space and we can return ENOSPC. Thanks,

Snapshot creation has two phases. One is the initial snapshot setup,
and the second is done during commit, while nobody is allowed to modify
the root we are snapshotting.
The delayed metadata insertion code can break that rule, it does a
delayed inode update on the inode of the parent of the snapshot,
and delayed directory item insertion.
This makes sure to run the pending delayed operations before we
record the snapshot root, which avoids corruptions.

The recent commit to get rid of our trans_mutex introduced
some races with block group relocation. The problem is that relocation
needs to do some record keeping about each root, and it was relying
on the transaction mutex to coordinate things in subtle ways.
This fix adds a mutex just for the relocation code and makes sure
it doesn't have a big impact on normal operations. The race is
really fixed in btrfs_record_root_in_trans, which is where we
step back and wait for the relocation code to finish accounting
setup.

We can lockup if we try to allow new writers join the transaction and we have
flushoncommit set or have a pending snapshot. This is because we set
no_trans_join and then loop around and try to wait for ordered extents again.
The problem is the ordered endio stuff needs to join the transaction, which it
can't do because no_trans_join is set. So instead wait until after this loop to
set no_trans_join and then make sure to wait for num_writers == 1 in case
anybody got started in between us exiting the loop and setting no_trans_join.
This could easily be reproduced by mounting -o flushoncommit and running xfstest
13. It cannot be reproduced with this patch. Thanks,

Originally this was going to be used as a way to give hints to the allocator,
but frankly we can get much better hints elsewhere and it's not even used at all
for anything usefull. In addition to be completely useless, when we initialize
an inode we try and find a freeish block group to set as the inodes block group,
and with a completely full 40gb fs this takes _forever_, so I imagine with say
1tb fs this is just unbearable. So just axe the thing altoghether, we don't
need it and it saves us 8 bytes in the inode and saves us 500 microseconds per
inode lookup in my testcase. Thanks,

We use trans_mutex for lots of things, here's a basic list
1) To serialize trans_handles joining the currently running transaction
2) To make sure that no new trans handles are started while we are committing
3) To protect the dead_roots list and the transaction lists
Really the serializing trans_handles joining is not too hard, and can really get
bogged down in acquiring a reference to the transaction. So replace the
trans_mutex with a trans_lock spinlock and use it to do the following
1) Protect fs_info->running_transaction. All trans handles have to do is check
this, and then take a reference of the transaction and keep on going.
2) Protect the fs_info->trans_list. This doesn't get used too much, basically
it just holds the current transactions, which will usually just be the currently
committing transaction and the currently running transaction at most.
3) Protect the dead roots list. This is only ever processed by splicing the
list so this is relatively simple.
4) Protect the fs_info->reloc_ctl stuff. This is very lightweight and was using
the trans_mutex before, so this is a pretty straightforward change.
5) Protect fs_info->no_trans_join. Because we don't hold the trans_lock over
the entirety of the commit we need to have a way to block new people from
creating a new transaction while we're doing our work. So we set no_trans_join
and in join_transaction we test to see if that is set, and if it is we do a
wait_on_commit.
6) Make the transaction use count atomic so we don't need to take locks to
modify it when we're dropping references.
7) Add a commit_lock to the transaction to make sure multiple people trying to
commit the same transaction don't race and commit at the same time.
8) Make open_ioctl_trans an atomic so we don't have to take any locks for ioctl
trans.
I have tested this with xfstests, but obviously it is a pretty hairy change so
lots of testing is greatly appreciated. Thanks,

We currently track trans handles in current->journal_info, but we don't actually

- Modify the patch address David Sterba's comment.
- Fix the bug of the cpu recursion spinlock, reported by Chris Mason
Changelog V1 -> V2:
- break up the global rb-tree, use a list to manage the delayed nodes,
which is created for every directory and file, and used to manage the
delayed directory name index items and the delayed inode item.
- introduce a worker to deal with the delayed nodes.
Compare with Ext3/4, the performance of file creation and deletion on btrfs
is very poor. the reason is that btrfs must do a lot of b+ tree insertions,
such as inode item, directory name item, directory name index and so on.
If we can do some delayed b+ tree insertion or deletion, we can improve the
performance, so we made this patch which implemented delayed directory name
index insertion/deletion and delayed inode update.
Implementation:
- introduce a delayed root object into the filesystem, that use two lists to
manage the delayed nodes which are created for every file/directory.
One is used to manage all the delayed nodes that have delayed items. And the
other is used to manage the delayed nodes which is waiting to be dealt with
by the work thread.
- Every delayed node has two rb-tree, one is used to manage the directory name
index which is going to be inserted into b+ tree, and the other is used to
manage the directory name index which is going to be deleted from b+ tree.
- introduce a worker to deal with the delayed operation. This worker is used
to deal with the works of the delayed directory name index items insertion
and deletion and the delayed inode update.
When the delayed items is beyond the lower limit, we create works for some
delayed nodes and insert them into the work queue of the worker, and then
go back.
When the delayed items is beyond the upper bound, we create works for all
the delayed nodes that haven't been dealt with, and insert them into the work
queue of the worker, and then wait for that the untreated items is below some
threshold value.
- When we want to insert a directory name index into b+ tree, we just add the
information into the delayed inserting rb-tree.
And then we check the number of the delayed items and do delayed items
balance. (The balance policy is above.)
- When we want to delete a directory name index from the b+ tree, we search it
in the inserting rb-tree at first. If we look it up, just drop it. If not,
add the key of it into the delayed deleting rb-tree.
Similar to the delayed inserting rb-tree, we also check the number of the
delayed items and do delayed items balance.
(The same to inserting manipulation)
- When we want to update the metadata of some inode, we cached the data of the
inode into the delayed node. the worker will flush it into the b+ tree after
dealing with the delayed insertion and deletion.
- We will move the delayed node to the tail of the list after we access the
delayed node, By this way, we can cache more delayed items and merge more
inode updates.
- If we want to commit transaction, we will deal with all the delayed node.
- the delayed node will be freed when we free the btrfs inode.
- Before we log the inode items, we commit all the directory name index items
and the delayed inode update.
I did a quick test by the benchmark tool[1] and found we can improve the
performance of file creation by ~15%, and file deletion by ~20%.

This adds an initial implementation for scrub. It works quite
straightforward. The usermode issues an ioctl for each device in the
fs. For each device, it enumerates the allocated device chunks. For
each chunk, the contained extents are enumerated and the data checksums
fetched. The extents are read sequentially and the checksums verified.
If an error occurs (checksum or EIO), a good copy is searched for. If
one is found, the bad copy will be rewritten.
All enumerations happen from the commit roots. During a transaction
commit, the scrubs get paused and afterwards continue from the new
roots.

This is similar to block group caching.
We dedicate a special inode in fs tree to save free ino cache.
At the very first time we create/delete a file after mount, the free ino
cache will be loaded from disk into memory. When the fs tree is commited,
the cache will be written back to disk.
To keep compatibility, we check the root generation against the generation
of the special inode when loading the cache, so the loading will fail
if the btrfs filesystem was mounted in an older kernel before.

There's a potential problem in 32bit system when we exhaust 32bit inode
numbers and start to allocate big inode numbers, because btrfs uses
inode->i_ino in many places.
So here we always use BTRFS_I(inode)->location.objectid, which is an
u64 variable.
There are 2 exceptions that BTRFS_I(inode)->location.objectid !=
inode->i_ino: the btree inode (0 vs 1) and empty subvol dirs (256 vs 2),
and inode->i_ino will be used in those cases.
Another reason to make this change is I'm going to use a special inode
to save free ino cache, and the inode number must be > (u64)-256.
Signed-off-by: Li Zefan <lizf@cn.fujitsu.com>
Currently btrfs stores the highest objectid of the fs tree, and it always
returns (highest+1) inode number when we create a file, so inode numbers
won't be reclaimed when we delete files, so we'll run out of inode numbers
as we keep create/delete files in 32bits machines.
This fixes it, and it works similarly to how we cache free space in block
cgroups.
We start a kernel thread to read the file tree. By scanning inode items,
we know which chunks of inode numbers are free, and we cache them in
an rb-tree.
Because we are searching the commit root, we have to carefully handle the
cross-transaction case.
The rb-tree is a hybrid extent+bitmap tree, so if we have too many small
chunks of inode numbers, we'll use bitmaps. Initially we allow 16K ram
of extents, and a bitmap will be used if we exceed this threshold. The
extents threshold is adjusted in runtime.

root_item->flags and root_item->byte_limit are not initialized when
a subvolume is created. This bug is not revealed until we added
readonly snapshot support - now you mount a btrfs filesystem and you
may find the subvolumes in it are readonly.
To work around this problem, we steal a bit from root_item->inode_item->flags,
and use it to indicate if those fields have been properly initialized.
When we read a tree root from disk, we check if the bit is set, and if
not we'll set the flag and initialize the two fields of the root item.

For more stable Btrfs, I think that we should reduce BUG_ON().
But, I think that long time is necessary for this.
So, I propose this patch as a short-term solution.
With this patch:
- To more stable Btrfs, the part that should be corrected is clarified.
- The panic isn't done by the NULL pointer reference etc. (even if
BUG_ON() is increased temporarily)
- The error code is returned in the place where the error can be easily
returned.
As a long-term plan:

This patch comes from "Forced readonly mounts on errors" ideas.
As we know, this is the first step in being more fault tolerant of disk
corruptions instead of just using BUG() statements.
The major content:
- add a framework for generating errors that should result in filesystems
going readonly.
- keep FS state in disk super block.
- make sure that all of resource will be freed and released at umount time.
- make sure that fter FS is forced readonly on error, there will be no more
disk change before FS is corrected. For this, we should stop write operation.
After this patch is applied, the conversion from BUG() to such a framework can
happen incrementally.

START_SYNC will start a sync/commit, but not wait for it to
complete. Any modification started after the ioctl returns is
guaranteed not to be included in the commit. If a non-NULL
pointer is passed, the transaction id will be returned to
userspace.
WAIT_SYNC will wait for any in-progress commit to complete. If a
transaction id is specified, the ioctl will block and then
return (success) when the specified transaction has committed.
If it has already committed when we call the ioctl, it returns
immediately. If the specified transaction doesn't exist, it
returns EINVAL.
If no transaction id is specified, WAIT_SYNC will wait for the
currently committing transaction to finish it's commit to disk.
If there is no currently committing transaction, it returns
success.
These ioctls are useful for applications which want to impose an
ordering on when fs modifications reach disk, but do not want to
wait for the full (slow) commit process to do so.
Picky callers can take the transid returned by START_SYNC and
feed it to WAIT_SYNC, and be certain to wait only as long as
necessary for the transaction _they_ started to reach disk.
Sloppy callers can START_SYNC and WAIT_SYNC without a transid,
and provided they didn't wait too long between the calls, they
will get the same result. However, if a second commit starts
before they call WAIT_SYNC, they may end up waiting longer for
it to commit as well. Even so, a START_SYNC+WAIT_SYNC still
guarantees that any operation completed before the START_SYNC
reaches disk.

Add support for an async transaction commit that is ordered such that any
subsequent operations will join the following transaction, but does not
wait until the current commit is fully on disk. This avoids much of the
latency associated with the btrfs_commit_transaction for callers concerned
with serialization and not safety.
The wait_for_unblock flag controls whether we wait for the 'middle' portion
of commit_transaction to complete, which is necessary if the caller expects
some of the modifications contained in the commit to be available (this is
the case for subvol/snapshot creation).

We calculate timeout (either 1 or MAX_SCHEDULE_TIMEOUT) based on whether
num_writers > 1 or should_grow at the top of the loop. Then, much much
later, we wait for that timeout if either num_writers or should_grow is
true. However, it's possible for a racing process (calling
btrfs_end_transaction()) to decrement num_writers such that we wait
forever instead of for 1.
Fix this by deciding how long to wait when we wait. Include a smp_mb()
before checking if the waitqueue is active to ensure the num_writers
is visible.

In order to save free space cache, we need an inode to hold the data, and we
need a special item to point at the right inode for the right block group. So
first, create a special item that will point to the right inode, and the number
of extent entries we will have and the number of bitmaps we will have. We
truncate and pre-allocate space everytime to make sure it's uptodate.
This feature will be turned on as soon as you mount with -o space_cache, however
it is safe to boot into old kernels, they will just generate the cache the old
fashion way. When you boot back into a newer kernel we will notice that we
modified and not the cache and automatically discard the cache.

With multi-threaded writes we were getting ENOSPC early because somebody would
come in, start flushing delalloc because they couldn't make their reservation,
and in the meantime other threads would come in and use the space that was
getting freed up, so when the original thread went to check to see if they had
space they didn't and they'd return ENOSPC. So instead if we have some free
space but not enough for our reservation, take the reservation and then start
doing the flushing. The only time we don't take reservations is when we've
already overcommitted our space, that way we don't have people who come late to
the party way overcommitting ourselves. This also moves all of the retrying and
flushing code into reserve_metdata_bytes so it's all uniform. This keeps my
fs_mark test from returning -ENOSPC as soon as it starts and actually lets me
fill up the disk. Thanks,

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Syncing the tree log is a 3 phase operation.
1) write and wait for all the tree log blocks for a given root.
2) write and wait for all the tree log blocks for the
tree of tree log roots.
3) write and wait for the super blocks (barriers here)
This isn't as efficient as it could be because there is
no requirement to wait for the blocks from step one to hit the disk
before we start writing the blocks from step two. This commit
changes the sequence so that we don't start waiting until
all the tree blocks from both steps one and two have been sent
to disk.

At the start of a transaction we do a btrfs_reserve_metadata_space() and
specify how many items we plan on modifying. Then once we've done our
modifications and such, just call btrfs_unreserve_metadata_space() for
the same number of items we reserved.
For keeping track of metadata needed for data I've had to add an extent_io op
for when we merge extents. This lets us track space properly when we are doing
sequential writes, so we don't end up reserving way more metadata space than
what we need.
The only place where the metadata space accounting is not done is in the
relocation code. This is because Yan is going to be reworking that code in the
near future, so running btrfs-vol -b could still possibly result in a ENOSPC
related panic. This patch also turns off the metadata_ratio stuff in order to
allow users to more efficiently use their disk space.
This patch makes it so we track how much metadata we need for an inode's
delayed allocation extents by tracking how many extents are currently
waiting for allocation. It introduces two new callbacks for the
extent_io tree's, merge_extent_hook and split_extent_hook. These help
us keep track of when we merge delalloc extents together and split them
up. Reservations are handled prior to any actually dirty'ing occurs,
and then we unreserve after we dirty.
btrfs_unreserve_metadata_for_delalloc() will make the appropriate
unreservations as needed based on the number of reservations we
currently have and the number of extents we currently have. Doing the
reservation outside of doing any of the actual dirty'ing lets us do
things like filemap_flush() the inode to try and force delalloc to
happen, or as a last resort actually start allocation on all delalloc
inodes in the fs. This has survived dbench, fs_mark and an fsx torture
test.

btrfs allows subvolumes and snapshots anywhere in the directory tree.
If we snapshot a subvolume that contains a link to other subvolume
called subvolA, subvolA can be accessed through both the original
subvolume and the snapshot. This is similar to creating hard link to
directory, and has the very similar problems.
The aim of this patch is enforcing there is only one access point to
each subvolume. Only the first directory entry (the one added when
the subvolume/snapshot was created) is treated as valid access point.
The first directory entry is distinguished by checking root forward
reference. If the corresponding root forward reference is missing,
we know the entry is not the first one.

Second, save when snapshot was created in root_key.offset. we can compare block

backrefs. If a given block was created before snapshot was created, the
snapshot can't be the tree block's owner. So we can avoid reading the block.

code uses one tree to track pinned extents, and copy the pinned
extents tree at transaction commit time. This patch makes it use

This patch moves the caching of the block group off to a kthread in order to
allow people to allocate sooner. Instead of blocking up behind the caching
mutex, we instead kick of the caching kthread, and then attempt to make an
allocation. If we cannot, we wait on the block groups caching waitqueue, which
the caching kthread will wake the waiting threads up everytime it finds 2 meg
worth of space, and then again when its finished caching. This is how I tested
the speedup from this
mkfs the disk
mount the disk
fill the disk up with fs_mark
unmount the disk
mount the disk
time touch /mnt/foo
Without my changes this took 11 seconds on my box, with these changes it now
takes 1 second.
Another change thats been put in place is we lock the super mirror's in the
pinned extent map in order to keep us from adding that stuff as free space when
caching the block group. This doesn't really change anything else as far as the
pinned extent map is concerned, since for actual pinned extents we use
EXTENT_DIRTY, but it does mean that when we unmount we have to go in and unlock
those extents to keep from leaking memory.
I've also added a check where when we are reading block groups from disk, if the
amount of space used == the size of the block group, we go ahead and mark the
block group as cached. This drastically reduces the amount of time it takes to
cache the block groups. Using the same test as above, except doing a dd to a
file and then unmounting, it used to take 33 seconds to umount, now it takes 3
seconds.
This version uses the commit_root in the caching kthread, and then keeps track
of how many async caching threads are running at any given time so if one of the
async threads is still running as we cross transactions we can wait until its
finished before handling the pinned extents. Thank you,

This commit introduces a new kind of back reference for btrfs metadata.
Once a filesystem has been mounted with this commit, IT WILL NO LONGER
BE MOUNTABLE BY OLDER KERNELS.
When a tree block in subvolume tree is cow'd, the reference counts of all
extents it points to are increased by one. At transaction commit time,
the old root of the subvolume is recorded in a "dead root" data structure,
and the btree it points to is later walked, dropping reference counts
and freeing any blocks where the reference count goes to 0.
The increments done during cow and decrements done after commit cancel out,
and the walk is a very expensive way to go about freeing the blocks that
are no longer referenced by the new btree root. This commit reduces the
transaction overhead by avoiding the need for dead root records.
When a non-shared tree block is cow'd, we free the old block at once, and the
new block inherits old block's references. When a tree block with reference
count > 1 is cow'd, we increase the reference counts of all extents
the new block points to by one, and decrease the old block's reference count by
one.
This dead tree avoidance code removes the need to modify the reference
counts of lower level extents when a non-shared tree block is cow'd.
But we still need to update back ref for all pointers in the block.
This is because the location of the block is recorded in the back ref
item.
We can solve this by introducing a new type of back ref. The new
back ref provides information about pointer's key, level and in which
tree the pointer lives. This information allow us to find the pointer
by searching the tree. The shortcoming of the new back ref is that it
only works for pointers in tree blocks referenced by their owner trees.
This is mostly a problem for snapshots, where resolving one of these
fuzzy back references would be O(number_of_snapshots) and quite slow.
The solution used here is to use the fuzzy back references in the common
case where a given tree block is only referenced by one root,
and use the full back references when multiple roots have a reference
on a given block.
This commit adds per subvolume red-black tree to keep trace of cached
inodes. The red-black tree helps the balancing code to find cached
inodes whose inode numbers within a given range.
This commit improves the balancing code by introducing several data
structures to keep the state of balancing. The most important one
is the back ref cache. It caches how the upper level tree blocks are
referenced. This greatly reduce the overhead of checking back ref.
The improved balancing code scales significantly better with a large
number of snapshots.
This is a very large commit and was written in a number of
pieces. But, they depend heavily on the disk format change and were
squashed together to make sure git bisect didn't end up in a
bad state wrt space balancing or the format change.

After a transaction commit, the old root of the subvol btrees are sent through
snapshot removal. This is what actually frees up any blocks replaced by
COW, and anything the old blocks pointed to.
Snapshot deletion will pause when a transaction commit has started, which
helps to avoid a huge amount of delayed reference count updates piling up
as the transaction is trying to close.
But, this pause happens after the snapshot deletion process has asked other
procs on the system to throttle back a bit so that it can make progress.
We don't want to throttle everyone while we're waiting for the transaction
commit, it leads to deadlocks in the user transaction ioctls used by Ceph
and makes things slower in general.

application's perspective (i.e., it includes all completed file system
operations). This was previously the behavior only when a snapshot is

Because btrfs is copy-on-write, we end up picking new locations for
blocks very often. This makes it fairly difficult to maintain perfect
read patterns over time, but we can at least do some optimizations
for writes.
This is done today by remembering the last place we allocated and
trying to find a free space hole big enough to hold more than just one
allocation. The end result is that we tend to write sequentially to
the drive.
This happens all the time for metadata and it happens for data
when mounted -o ssd. But, the way we record it is fairly racey
and it tends to fragment the free space over time because we are trying
to allocate fairly large areas at once.
This commit gets rid of the races by adding a free space cluster object
with dedicated locking to make sure that only one process at a time
is out replacing the cluster.
The free space fragmentation is somewhat solved by allowing a cluster
to be comprised of smaller free space extents. This part definitely
adds some CPU time to the cluster allocations, but it allows the allocator
to consume the small holes left behind by cow.

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.

Commits are fairly expensive, and so btrfs has code to sit around for a while
during the commit and let new writers come in.
But, while we're sitting there, new delayed refs might be added, and those
can be expensive to process as well. Unless the transaction is very very
young, it makes sense to go ahead and let the commit finish without hanging
around.
The commit grow loop isn't as important as it used to be, the fsync logging
code handles most performance critical syncs now.

To avoid deadlocks and reduce latencies during some critical operations, some
transaction writers are allowed to jump into the running transaction and make
it run a little longer, while others sit around and wait for the commit to
finish.
This is a bit unfair, especially when the callers that jump in do a bunch
of IO that makes all the others procs on the box wait. This commit
reduces the stalls this produces by pre-reading file extent pointers
during btrfs_finish_ordered_io before the transaction is joined.
It also tunes the drop_snapshot code to politely wait for transactions
that have started writing out their delayed refs to finish. This avoids
new delayed refs being flooded into the queue while we're trying to
close off the transaction.

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.

In order to avoid doing expensive extent management with tree locks held,
btrfs_search_slot will preallocate tree blocks for use by COW without
any tree locks held.
A later commit moves all of the extent allocation work for COW into
a delayed update mechanism, and this preallocation will no longer be
required.

Snapshot creation happens at a specific time during transaction commit. We
need to make sure the code called by snapshot creation doesn't wait
for the running transaction to commit.
This changes btrfs_delete_inode and finish_pending_snaps to use
btrfs_join_transaction instead of btrfs_start_transaction to avoid deadlocks.
It would be better if btrfs_delete_inode didn't use the join, but the
call path that triggers it is:
btrfs_commit_transaction->create_pending_snapshots->
create_pending_snapshot->btrfs_lookup_dentry->
fixup_tree_root_location->btrfs_read_fs_root->
btrfs_read_fs_root_no_name->btrfs_orphan_cleanup->iput
This will be fixed in a later patch by moving the orphan cleanup to the
cleaner thread.

The block group structs are referenced in many different
places, and it's not safe to free while balancing. So, those block
group structs were simply leaked instead.
This patch replaces the block group pointer in the inode with the starting byte
offset of the block group and adds reference counting to the block group
struct.

This patch implements superblock duplication. Superblocks
are stored at offset 16K, 64M and 256G on every devices.
Spaces used by superblocks are preserved by the allocator,
which uses a reverse mapping function to find the logical
addresses that correspond to superblocks. Thank you,

Subvols and snapshots can now be referenced from any point in the directory
tree. We need to maintain back refs for them so we can find lost
subvols.
Forward refs are added so that we know all of the subvols and
snapshots referenced anywhere in the directory tree of a single subvol. This
can be used to do recursive snapshotting (but they aren't yet) and it is
also used to detect and prevent directory loops when creating new snapshots.

Each subvolume has its own private inode number space, and so we need
to fill in different device numbers for each subvolume to avoid confusing
applications.
This commit puts a struct super_block into struct btrfs_root so it can
call set_anon_super() and get a different device number generated for
each root.
btrfs_rename is changed to prevent renames across subvols.

Before, all snapshots and subvolumes lived in a single flat directory. This
was awkward and confusing because the single flat directory was only writable
with the ioctls.
This commit changes the ioctls to create subvols and snapshots at any
point in the directory tree. This requires making separate ioctls for
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.

While doing a commit, btrfs makes sure all the metadata blocks
were properly written to disk, calling wait_on_page_writeback for
each page. This writeback happens after allowing another transaction
to start, so it competes for the disk with other processes in the FS.
If the page writeback bit is still set, each wait_on_page_writeback might
trigger an unplug, even though the page might be waiting for checksumming
to finish or might be waiting for the async work queue to submit the
bio.
This trades wait_on_page_writeback for waiting on the extent writeback
bits. It won't trigger any unplugs and substantially improves performance
in a number of workloads.
This also changes the async bio submission to avoid requeueing if there
is only one device. The requeue just wastes CPU time because there are
no other devices to service.
