Everytime we write out dirty pages we search for an offset in the tree,
convert the bits in the state, and then when we wait we search for the
offset again and clear the bits. So for every dirty range in the io tree we
are doing 4 rb searches, which is suboptimal. With this patch we are only
doing 2 searches for every cycle (modulo weird things happening). Thanks,

There are a coule scenarios where farming metadata csumming off to an async
thread doesn't help. The first is if our processor supports crc32c, in
which case the csumming will be fast and so the overhead of the async model
is not worth the cost. The other case is for our tree log. We will be
making that stuff dirty and writing it out and waiting for it immediately.
Even with software crc32c this gives me a ~15% increase in speed with O_SYNC
workloads. Thanks,

We're going to use this flag EXTENT_DEFRAG to indicate which range
belongs to defragment so that we can implement snapshow-aware defrag:
We set the EXTENT_DEFRAG flag when dirtying the extents that need
defragmented, so later on writeback thread can differentiate between
normal writeback and writeback started by defragmentation.

We noticed that the ordered extent completion doesn't really rely on having
a page and that it could be done independantly of ending the writeback on a
page. This patch makes us not do the threaded endio stuff for normal
buffered writes and direct writes so we can end page writeback as soon as
possible (in irq context) and only start threads to do the ordered work when
it is actually done. Compression needs to be reworked some to take
advantage of this as well, but atm it has to do a find_get_page in its endio
handler so it must be done in its own thread. This makes direct writes
quite a bit faster. Thanks,

A user reported a panic where we were trying to fix a bad mirror but the
mirror number we were giving was 0, which is invalid. This is because we
don't do the transid verification until after the read, so as far as the
read code is concerned the read was a success. So instead store the mirror
we read from so that if there is some failure post read we know which mirror
to try next and which mirror needs to be fixed if we find a good copy of the
block. Thanks,

Since we need to read and write extent buffers in their entirety we can't use
the normal bio_readpage_error stuff since it only works on a per page basis. So
instead make it so that if we see an io error in endio we just mark the eb as
having an IO error and then in btree_read_extent_buffer_pages we will manually
try other mirrors and then overwrite the bad mirror if we find a good copy.
This works with larger than page size blocks. Thanks,

This patch simplifies how we track our extent buffers. Previously we could exit
writepages with only having written half of an extent buffer, which meant we had
to track the state of the pages and the state of the extent buffers differently.
Now we only read in entire extent buffers and write out entire extent buffers,
this allows us to simply set bits in our bflags to indicate the state of the eb
and we no longer have to do things like track uptodate with our iotree. Thanks,

Because btrfs cow's we can end up with extent buffers that are no longer
necessary just sitting around in memory. So instead of evicting these pages, we
could end up evicting things we actually care about. Thus we have
free_extent_buffer_stale for use when we are freeing tree blocks. This will
make it so that the ref for the eb being in the radix tree is dropped as soon as
possible and then is freed when the refcount hits 0 instead of waiting to be
released by releasepage. Thanks,

We spend a lot of time looking up extent buffers from pages when we could just

A few years ago the btrfs code to support blocks lager than
the page size was disabled to fix a few corner cases in the
page cache handling. This fixes the code to properly support
large metadata blocks again.
Since current kernels will crash early and often with larger
metadata blocks, this adds an incompat bit so that older kernels
can't mount it.
This also does away with different blocksizes for nodes and leaves.
You get a single block size for all tree blocks.

We encountered an issue that was easily observable on s/390 systems but
could really happen anywhere. The timing just seemed to hit reliably
on s/390 with limited memory.
The gist is that when an unexpected set_page_dirty() happened, we'd
run into the BUG() in btrfs_writepage_fixup_worker since it wasn't
properly set up for delalloc.
This patch does the following:
- Performs the missing delalloc in the fixup worker
- Allow the start hook to return -EBUSY which informs __extent_writepage
that it should mark the page skipped and not to redirty it. This is
required since the fixup worker can fail with -ENOSPC and the page
will have already been redirtied. That causes an Oops in
drop_outstanding_extents later. Retrying the fixup worker could
lead to an infinite loop. Deferring the page redirty also saves us
some cycles since the page would be stuck in a resubmit-redirty loop
until the fixup worker completes. It's not harmful, just wasteful.
- If the fixup worker fails, we mark the page and mapping as errored,
and end the writeback, similar to what we would do had the page
actually been submitted to writeback.

While looking for a performance regression a user was complaining about, I
noticed that we had a regression with the varmail test of filebench. This was
introduced by
0d10ee2e6d
which keeps us from calling writepages in writepage. This is a correct change,
however it happens to help the varmail test because we write out in larger
chunks. This is largly to do with how we write out dirty pages for each
transaction. If you run filebench with
load varmail
set $dir=/mnt/btrfs-test
run 60
prior to this patch you would get ~1420 ops/second, but with the patch you get
~1200 ops/second. This is a 16% decrease. So since we know the range of dirty
pages we want to write out, don't write out in one page chunks, write out in
ranges. So to do this we call filemap_fdatawrite_range() on the range of bytes.
Then we convert the DIRTY extents to NEED_WAIT extents. When we then call
btrfs_wait_marked_extents() we only have to filemap_fdatawait_range() on that
range and clear the NEED_WAIT extents. This doesn't get us back to our original
speeds, but I've been seeing ~1380 ops/second, which is a <5% regression as
opposed to a >15% regression. That is acceptable given that the original commit
greatly reduces our latency to begin with. Thanks,

The raid-retry code in inode.c can be generalized so that it works for
metadata as well. Thus, this patch moves it to extent_io.c and makes the
raid-retry code a raid-repair code.
Repair works that way: Whenever a read error occurs and we have more
mirrors to try, note the failed mirror, and retry another. If we find a
good one, check if we did note a failure earlier and if so, do not allow
the read to complete until after the bad sector was written with the good
data we just fetched. As we have the extent locked while reading, no one
can change the data in between.

The btrfs metadata btree is the source of significant
lock contention, especially in the root node. This
commit changes our locking to use a reader/writer
lock.
The lock is built on top of rw spinlocks, and it
extends the lock tracking to remember if we have a
read lock or a write lock when we go to blocking. Atomics
count the number of blocking readers or writers at any
given time.
It removes all of the adaptive spinning from the old code
and uses only the spinning/blocking hints inside of btrfs
to decide when it should continue spinning.
In read heavy workloads this is dramatically faster. In write
heavy workloads we're still faster because of less contention
on the root node lock.
We suffer slightly in dbench because we schedule more often
during write locks, but all other benchmarks so far are improved.

This changes O_DIRECT write code to mark extents as delalloc
while it is processing them. Yan Zheng has reworked the
enospc accounting based on tracking delalloc extents and
this makes it much easier to track enospc in the O_DIRECT code.
There are a few space cases with the O_DIRECT code though,
it only sets the EXTENT_DELALLOC bits, instead of doing
EXTENT_DELALLOC | EXTENT_DIRTY | EXTENT_UPTODATE, because
we don't want to mess with clearing the dirty and uptodate
bits when things go wrong. This is important because there
are no pages in the page cache, so any extent state structs
that we put in the tree won't get freed by releasepage. We have
to clear them ourselves as the DIO ends.
With this commit, we reserve space at in btrfs_file_aio_write,
and then as each btrfs_direct_IO call progresses it sets
EXTENT_DELALLOC on the range.
btrfs_get_blocks_direct is responsible for clearing the delalloc
at the same time it drops the extent lock.
