Node may not be inserted over existing node. This causes inode tree

The other way to fix this would be to tie inode lifetime in the rbtree

not so trivial at this point. At least this patch gets things working again.

The async caching thread can end up looping forever if a given
search puts it at the last key in a leaf. It will end up calling
btrfs_next_leaf and then checking if it needs to politely drop
the read semaphore.
Most of the time this looping isn't noticed because it is able to
make progress the next time around. But, during log replay,
we wait on the async caching thread to finish, and the async thread
is waiting on the commit, and no progress is really made.
The fix used here is to copy the key out of the next leaf,
that way our search lands there properly.

Yan Zheng hit a problem where we tried to remove some free space but failed
because we couldn't find the free space entry. This is because the free space
was held within a bitmap that had a starting offset well before the actual
offset of the free space, and there were free space extents that were in the
same range as that offset, so tree_search_offset returned with NULL because we
couldn't find a free space extent that had that offset. This is fixed by
making sure that if we fail to find the entry, we re-search again with
bitmap_only set to 1 and do an offset_to_bitmap so we can get the appropriate
bitmap. A similar problem happens in btrfs_alloc_from_bitmap for the
clustering code, but that is not as bad since we will just go and redo our
cluster allocation.
Also this adds some debugging checks to make sure that the free space we are
trying to remove from the bitmap is in fact there. This can probably go away
after a while, but since this code is only used by the tree-logging stuff it
would be nice to run with it for a while to make sure there are no problems.

The async block group caching code uses the commit_root pointer
to get a stable version of the extent allocation tree for scanning.
This copy of the tree root isn't going to change and it significantly
reduces the complexity of the scanning code.
During a commit, we have a loop where we update the extent allocation
tree root. We need to loop because updating the root pointer in
the tree of tree roots may allocate blocks which may change the
extent allocation tree.
Right now the commit_root pointer is changed inside this loop. It
is more correct to change the commit_root pointer only after all the
looping is done.

We are racy with async block caching and unpinning extents. This patch makes
things much less complicated by only unpinning the extent if the block group is
cached. We check the block_group->cached var under the block_group->lock spin
lock. If it is set to BTRFS_CACHE_FINISHED then we update the pinned counters,
and unpin the extent and add the free space back. If it is not set to this, we
start the caching of the block group so the next time we unpin extents we can
unpin the extent. This keeps us from racing with the async caching threads,
lets us kill the fs wide async thread counter, and keeps us from having to set
DELALLOC bits for every extent we hit if there are caching kthreads going.
One thing that needed to be changed was btrfs_free_super_mirror_extents. Now
instead of just looking for LOCKED extents, we also look for DIRTY extents,
since we could have left some extents pinned in the previous transaction that
will never get freed now that we are unmounting, which would cause us to leak
memory. So btrfs_free_super_mirror_extents has been changed to
btrfs_free_pinned_extents, and it will clear the extents locked for the super
mirror, and any remaining pinned extents that may be present. Thank you,

Allocating new block group is easy when the disk has plenty of space.
But things get difficult as the disk fills up, especially if
the FS has been run through btrfs-vol -b. The balance operation
is likely to make the total bytes available on the device greater
than the largest extent we'll actually be able to allocate.
But the device extent allocation code incorrectly assumes that a device
with 5G free will be able to allocate a 5G extent. It isn't normally a
problem because device extents don't get freed unless btrfs-vol -b
is run.
This fixes the device extent allocator to remember the largest free
extent it can find, and then uses that value as a fallback.

Btrfs allocates individual extents from block groups, and each
block group has a specific type. It may hold metadata, data
mirrored or striped etc.
When we balance space (btrfs-vol -b) or remove a drive (btrfs-vol -r)
we free block groups. Once a block group is freed, the space it was
using on the device may be available for use by new block groups.
btrfs_remove_block_group was clearing the flag that said
'our devices are full, don't even try to allocate new block groups',
but it was only clearing that flag for a specific type of block group.
This commit clears the full flag for all of the types of block groups,
making it much more likely that we'll be able to balance space when
the drive is close to full.

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,

Currently btrfs has a problem where it can use a ridiculous amount of RAM simply
tracking free space. As free space gets fragmented, we end up with thousands of
entries on an rb-tree per block group, which usually spans 1 gig of area. Since
we currently don't ever flush free space cache back to disk this gets to be a
bit unweildly on large fs's with lots of fragmentation.
This patch solves this problem by using PAGE_SIZE bitmaps for parts of the free
space cache. Initially we calculate a threshold of extent entries we can
handle, which is however many extent entries we can cram into 16k of ram. The
maximum amount of RAM that should ever be used to track 1 gigabyte of diskspace
will be 32k of RAM, which scales much better than we did before.
Once we pass the extent threshold, we start adding bitmaps and using those
instead for tracking the free space. This patch also makes it so that any free
space thats less than 4 * sectorsize we go ahead and put into a bitmap. This is
nice since we try and allocate out of the front of a block group, so if the
front of a block group is heavily fragmented and then has a huge chunk of free
space at the end, we go ahead and add the fragmented areas to bitmaps and use a
normal extent entry to track the big chunk at the back of the block group.
I've also taken the opportunity to revamp how we search for free space.
Previously we indexed free space via an offset indexed rb tree and a bytes
indexed rb tree. I've dropped the bytes indexed rb tree and use only the offset
indexed rb tree. This cuts the number of tree operations we were doing
previously down by half, and gives us a little bit of a better allocation
pattern since we will always start from a specific offset and search forward
from there, instead of searching for the size we need and try and get it as
close as possible to the offset we want.
I've given this a healthy amount of testing pre-new format stuff, as well as
post-new format stuff. I've booted up my fedora box which is installed on btrfs
with this patch and ran with it for a few days without issues. I've not seen
any performance regressions in any of my tests.
Since the last patch Yan Zheng fixed a problem where we could have overlapping
entries, so updating their offset inline would cause problems. Thanks,

It was never actually doing anything anyway (see the loop condition),
and it would be difficult to make it work for RAID[56].
Even if it was actually working, it's checking for the wrong thing
anyway. Instead of checking whether we list a block which _doesn't_ land
at the relevant physical location, it should be checking that we _have_
listed all the logical blocks which refer to the required physical
location on all devices.
This function is only called from remove_sb_from_cache() to ensure that
we reserve the logical blocks which would reside at the same physical
location as the superblock copies. So listing more blocks than we need
is actually OK.
With RAID[56] we're going to throw away an entire stripe for each block
we have to ignore, so we _are_ going to list blocks other than the

The btrfs IO submission threads try to service a bunch of devices with a small
number of threads. They do a congestion check to try and avoid waiting
on requests for a busy device.
The checks make sure we've sent a few requests down to a given device just so
that we aren't bouncing between busy devices without actually sending down
any IO. The counter used to decide if we can switch to the next device
is somewhat overloaded. It is also being used to decide if we've done
a good batch of requests between the WRITE_SYNC or regular priority lists.
It may get reset to zero often, leaving us hammering on a busy device
instead of moving on to another disk.
This commit adds a new counter for the number of bios sent while
servicing a device. It doesn't get reset or fiddled with. On
multi-device filesystems, this fixes IO stalls in streaming
write workloads.
Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
Btrfs uses dedicated threads to submit bios when checksumming is on,
which allows us to make sure the threads dedicated to checksumming don't get
stuck waiting for requests. For each btrfs device, there are
two lists of bios. One list is for WRITE_SYNC bios and the other
is for regular priority bios.
The IO submission threads used to process all of the WRITE_SYNC bios first and
then switch to the regular bios. This commit makes sure we don't completely
starve the regular bios by rotating between the two lists.
WRITE_SYNC bios are still favored 2:1 over the regular bios, and this tries
to run in batches to avoid seeking. Benchmarking shows this eliminates
stalls during streaming buffered writes on both multi-device and
single device filesystems.
If the regular bios starve, the system can end up with a large amount of ram
pinned down in writeback pages. If we are a little more fair between the two
classes, we're able to keep throughput up and make progress on the bulk of
our dirty ram.

With the new back reference code, the cost of a balance has gone down

makes us more aggressively balance leaves and nodes as they become
less full.
Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
When the delayed reference code was added, some checks were added
to avoid extra balancing while the delayed references were being flushed.
This made for less efficient btrees, but it reduced the chances of
loops where no forward progress was made because the balances made
more delayed ref updates.
With the new dead root removal code and the mixed back references,
the extent allocation tree is no longer using precise back refs, and
the delayed reference updates don't carry the risk of looping forever
anymore. So, the balance avoidance is no longer required.
Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
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.

Btrfs: Fix oops and use after free during space balancing
Btrfs: set device->total_disk_bytes when adding new device
The btrfs allocator uses list_for_each to walk the available block
groups when searching for free blocks. It starts off with a hint
to help find the best block group for a given allocation.
The hint is resolved into a block group, but we don't properly check
to make sure the block group we find isn't in the middle of being
freed due to filesystem shrinking or balancing. If it is being
freed, the list pointers in it are bogus and can't be trusted. But,
the code happily goes along and uses them in the list_for_each loop,
leading to all kinds of fun.
The fix used here is to check to make sure the block group we find really
is on the list before we use it. list_del_init is used when removing
it from the list, so we can do a proper check.
The allocation clustering code has a similar bug where it will trust
the block group in the current free space cluster. If our allocation
flags have changed (going from single spindle dup to raid1 for example)
because the drives in the FS have changed, we're not allowed to use
the old block group any more.
The fix used here is to check the current cluster against the
current allocation flags.

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.

Btrfs fallocate was incorrectly starting a transaction with a lock held

to move the transaction outside of the lock.
When preallocated extents are overwritten, btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty was

Btrfs is using WRITE_SYNC_PLUG to send down synchronous IOs with a
higher priority. But, the checksumming helper threads prevent it
from being fully effective.
There are two problems. First, a big queue of pending checksumming
will delay the synchronous IO behind other lower priority writes. Second,
the checksumming uses an ordered async work queue. The ordering makes sure
that IOs are sent to the block layer in the same order they are sent
to the checksumming threads. Usually this gives us less seeky IO.
But, when we start mixing IO priorities, the lower priority IO can delay
the higher priority IO.
This patch solves both problems by adding a high priority list to the async
helper threads, and a new btrfs_set_work_high_prio(), which is used
to make put a new async work item onto the higher priority list.
The ordering is still done on high priority IO, but all of the high
priority bios are ordered separately from the low priority bios. This
ordering is purely an IO optimization, it is not involved in data
or metadata integrity.

Part of reducing fsync/O_SYNC/O_DIRECT latencies is using WRITE_SYNC for
writes we plan on waiting on in the near future. This patch
mirrors recent changes in other filesystems and the generic code to
use WRITE_SYNC when WB_SYNC_ALL is passed and to use WRITE_SYNC for
other latency critical writes.
Btrfs uses async worker threads for checksumming before the write is done,
and then again to actually submit the bios. The bio submission code just
runs a per-device list of bios that need to be sent down the pipe.
This list is split into low priority and high priority lists so the
WRITE_SYNC IO happens first.

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.

Btrfs pages being written get set to writeback, and then may go through
a number of steps before they hit the block layer. This includes compression,
checksumming and async bio submission.
The end result is that someone who writes a page and then does
wait_on_page_writeback is likely to unplug the queue before the bio they
cared about got there.
We could fix this by marking bios sync, or by doing more frequent unplugs,
but this commit just changes the async bio submission code to unplug
after it has processed all the bios for a device. The async bio submission
does a fair job of collection bios, so this shouldn't be a huge problem
for reducing merging at the elevator.
For streaming O_DIRECT writes on a 5 drive array, it boosts performance
from 386MB/s to 460MB/s.

Btrfs uses async helper threads to submit write bios so the checksumming
helper threads don't block on the disk.
The submit bio threads may process bios for more than one block device,
so when they find one device congested they try to move on to other
devices instead of blocking in get_request_wait for one device.
This does a pretty good job of keeping multiple devices busy, but the
congested flag has a number of problems. A congested device may still
give you a request, and other procs that aren't backing off the congested
device may starve you out.
This commit uses the io_context stored in current to decide if our process
has been made a batching process by the block layer. If so, it keeps
sending IO down for at least one batch. This helps make sure we do
a good amount of work each time we visit a bdev, and avoids large IO
stalls in multi-device workloads.
It's also very ugly. A better solution is in the works with Jens Axboe.

page_mkwrite is called with neither the page lock nor the ptl held. This
means a page can be concurrently truncated or invalidated out from
underneath it. Callers are supposed to prevent truncate races themselves,
however previously the only thing they can do in case they hit one is to
raise a SIGBUS. A sigbus is wrong for the case that the page has been
invalidated or truncated within i_size (eg. hole punched). Callers may
also have to perform memory allocations in this path, where again, SIGBUS
would be wrong.
The previous patch ("mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match fault")
made it possible to properly specify errors. Convert the generic buffer.c
code and btrfs to return sane error values (in the case of page removed
from pagecache, VM_FAULT_NOPAGE will cause the fault handler to exit
without doing anything, and the fault will be retried properly).
This fixes core code, and converts btrfs as a template/example. All other
filesystems defining their own page_mkwrite should be fixed in a similar
manner.

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.

btrfs_update_delayed_ref is optimized to add and remove different
references in one pass through the delayed ref tree. It is a zero
sum on the total number of refs on a given extent.
But, the code was recording an extra ref in the head node. This
never made it down to the disk but was used when deciding if it was
safe to free the extent while dropping snapshots.
The fix used here is to make sure the ref_mod count is unchanged
on the head ref when btrfs_update_delayed_ref is called.

The fsync log has code to make sure all of the parents of a file are in the
log along with the file. It uses a minimal log of the parent directory
inodes, just enough to get the parent directory on disk.
If the transaction that originally created a file is fully on disk,
and the file hasn't been renamed or linked into other directories, we
can safely skip the parent directory walk. We know the file is on disk
somewhere and we can go ahead and just log that single file.
This is more important now because unrelated unlinks in the parent directory
might make us force a commit if we try to log the parent.
Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
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.

During log replay, inodes are copied from the log to the main filesystem
btrees. Sometimes they have a zero link count in the log but they actually
gain links during the replay or have some in the main btree.
This patch updates the link count to be at least one after copying the
inode out of the log. This makes sure the inode is deleted during an
iput while the rest of the replay code is still working on it.
The log replay has fixup code to make sure that link counts are correct
at the end of the replay, so we could use any non-zero number here and
it would work fine.

The delayed reference mechanism is responsible for all updates to the

This commit tries to limit the amount of work that gets created during

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.

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.

Many of the tree balancing functions follow the same pattern.

Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
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.

whenever new space is added to the FS.

This is a step in the direction of better -ENOSPC handling. Instead of

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

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

Btrfs was using spin_is_contended to see if it should drop locks before

But, spin_is_contended is specific to the ticket spinlocks on x86, so this

Every transaction in btrfs creates a new snapshot, and then schedules the
snapshot from the last transaction for deletion. Snapshot deletion
works by walking down the btree and dropping the reference counts
on each btree block during the walk.
If if a given leaf or node has a reference count greater than one,
the reference count is decremented and the subtree pointed to by that
node is ignored.
If the reference count is one, walking continues down into that node
or leaf, and the references of everything it points to are decremented.
The old code would try to work in small pieces, walking down the tree
until it found the lowest leaf or node to free and then returning. This
was very friendly to the rest of the FS because it didn't have a huge
impact on other operations.
But it wouldn't always keep up with the rate that new commits added new
snapshots for deletion, and it wasn't very optimal for the extent
allocation tree because it wasn't finding leaves that were close together
on disk and processing them at the same time.
This changes things to walk down to a level 1 node and then process it
in bulk. All the leaf pointers are sorted and the leaves are dropped
in order based on their extent number.
The extent allocation tree and commit code are now fast enough for
this kind of bulk processing to work without slowing the rest of the FS
down. Overall it does less IO and is better able to keep up with
snapshot deletions under high load.

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.

extent_io.c has debugging code to report and free leaked extent_state
and extent_buffer objects at rmmod time. This helps track down
leaks and it saves you from rebooting just to properly remove the
kmem_cache object.
But, the code runs under a fairly expensive spinlock and the checks to
see if it is currently enabled are not entirely consistent. Some use
#ifdef and some #if.
This changes everything to #if and disables the leak checking.

When a block goes through cow, we update the reference counts of
everything that block points to. The internal pointers of the block
can be in just about any order, and it is likely to have clusters of
things that are close together and clusters of things that are not.
To help reduce the seeks that come with updating all of these reference
counts, sort them by byte number before actual updates are done.

Tracing shows the delay between when an async thread goes to sleep
and when more work is added is often very short. This commit adds
a little bit of delay and extra checking to the code right before
we schedule out.
It allows more work to be added to the worker
without requiring notifications from other procs.

After btrfs_readdir has gone through all the directory items, it
sets the directory f_pos to the largest possible int. This way
applications that mix readdir with creating new files don't
end up in an endless loop finding the new directory items as they go.
It was a workaround for a bug in git, but the assumption was that if git
could make this looping mistake than it would be a common problem.
The largest possible int chosen was INT_LIMIT(typeof(file->f_pos),
and it is possible for that to be a larger number than 32 bit glibc
expects to come out of readdir.
This patches switches that to INT_LIMIT(off_t), which should keep
applications happy on 32 and 64 bit machines.

Just before reading a leaf, btrfs scans the node for blocks that are
close by and reads them too. It tries to build up a large window
of IO looking for blocks that are within a max distance from the top
and bottom of the IO window.
This patch changes things to just look for blocks within 64k of the
target block. It will trigger less IO and make for lower latencies on
the read size.

Now that bmap support is gone, this is the only way to get extent
mappings for userland. These are still not valid for IO, but they
can tell us if a file has holes or how much fragmentation there is.

Swapfiles use bmap to build a list of extents belonging to the file,
and they assume these extents won't change over the life of the file.
They also use resulting list to do IO directly to the block device.
This causes problems for btrfs in a few ways:
btrfs returns logical block numbers through bmap, and these are not suitable
for IO. They might translate to different devices, raid etc.
COW means that file block mappings are going to change frequently.
Using swapfiles on btrfs will lead to corruption, so we're avoiding the
problem for now by dropping bmap support entirely. A later commit
will add fiemap support for people that really want to know how
a file is laid out.

To improve performance, btrfs_sync_log merges tree log sync
requests. But it wrongly merges sync requests for different
tree logs. If multiple tree logs are synced at the same time,
only one of them actually gets synced.
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.
At tree-log sync, btrfs_sync_log first sync the log tree;
then updates corresponding root item in the log root tree;
sync the log root tree; then update the super block.

replace_one_extent searches tree leaves for references to a given extent. It
stops searching if it goes beyond the last possible position.
The last possible position is computed by adding the starting offset of a found
file extent to the full size of the extent. The code uses physical size of the
extent as the full size. This is incorrect when compression is used.
The fix is get the full size from ram_bytes field of file extent item.
