Stress testing was showing data checksum errors, most of which were caused
by a lookup bug in the extent_map tree. The tree was caching the last
pointer returned, and searches would check the last pointer first.
But, search callers also expect the search to return the very first
matching extent in the range, which wasn't always true with the last
pointer usage.
For now, the code to cache the last return value is just removed. It is
easy to fix, but I think lookups are rare enough that it isn't required anymore.
This commit also replaces do_sync_mapping_range with a local copy of the
related functions.

Data checksumming is done right before the bio is sent down the IO stack,
which means a single bio might span more than one ordered extent. In
this case, the checksumming data is split between two ordered extents.

btrfs_commit_transaction has to loop waiting for any writers in the
transaction to finish before it can proceed. btrfs_start_transaction
should be polite and not join a transaction that is in the process
of being finished off.
There are a few places that can't wait, basically the ones doing IO that
might be needed to finish the transaction. For them, btrfs_join_transaction
is added.

Higher layers sometimes call set_page_dirty without asking the filesystem

The old data=ordered code would force commit to wait until
all the data extents from the transaction were fully on disk. This
introduced large latencies into the commit and stalled new writers
in the transaction for a long time.
The new code changes the way data allocations and extents work:
* When delayed allocation is filled, data extents are reserved, and
the extent bit EXTENT_ORDERED is set on the entire range of the extent.
A struct btrfs_ordered_extent is allocated an inserted into a per-inode
rbtree to track the pending extents.
* As each page is written EXTENT_ORDERED is cleared on the bytes corresponding
to that page.
* When all of the bytes corresponding to a single struct btrfs_ordered_extent
are written, The previously reserved extent is inserted into the FS
btree and into the extent allocation trees. The checksums for the file
data are also updated.

Allocations may need to read in block groups from the extent allocation tree,
which will require a tree search and take locks on the extent allocation
tree. But, those locks might already be held in other places, leading
to deadlocks.
Since the alloc_mutex serializes everything right now, it is safe to
skip the btree locking while caching block groups. A better fix will be
to either create a recursive lock or find a way to back off existing
locks while caching block groups.

Extent alloctions are still protected by a large alloc_mutex.

Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
The allocation trees and the chunk trees are serialized via their own
dedicated mutexes. This means allocation location is still not very
fine grained.
The main FS btree is protected by locks on each block in the btree. Locks
are taken top / down, and as processing finishes on a given level of the
tree, the lock is released after locking the lower level.
The end result of a search is now a path where only the lowest level
is locked. Releasing or freeing the path drops any locks held.

mount -o thread_pool_size changes the default, which is

Btrfs has been using workqueues to spread the checksumming load across
other CPUs in the system. But, workqueues only schedule work on the
same CPU that queued the work, giving them a limited benefit for systems with
higher CPU counts.
This code adds a generic facility to schedule work with pools of kthreads,
and changes the bio submission code to queue bios up. The queueing is
important to make sure large numbers of procs on the system don't
turn streaming workloads into random workloads by sending IO down
concurrently.
The end result of all of this is much higher performance (and CPU usage) when
doing checksumming on large machines. Two worker pools are created,
one for writes and one for endio processing. The two could deadlock if
we tried to service both from a single pool.

These ioctls let a user application hold a transaction open while it
performs a series of operations. A final ioctl does a sync on the fs
(closing the current transaction). This is the main requirement for
Ceph's OSD to be able to keep the data it's storing in a btrfs volume
consistent, and AFAICS it works just fine. The application would do
something like
fd = ::open("some/file", O_RDONLY);
::ioctl(fd, BTRFS_IOC_TRANS_START);
/* do a bunch of stuff */
::ioctl(fd, BTRFS_IOC_TRANS_END);
or just
::close(fd);
And to ensure it commits to disk,
::ioctl(fd, BTRFS_IOC_SYNC);
When a transaction is held open, the trans_handle is attached to the
struct file (via private_data) so that it will get cleaned up if the
process dies unexpectedly. A held transaction is also ended on fsync() to
avoid a deadlock.
A misbehaving application could also deliberately hold a transaction open,
effectively locking up the FS, so it may make sense to restrict something
like this to root or something.

This required a few structural changes to the code that manages bdev pointers:
The VFS super block now gets an anon-bdev instead of a pointer to the

around at run time.

Block headers now store the chunk tree uuid

used to be the logical offset of the chunk. Now it is a chunk tree id,
with the logical offset being stored in the offset field of the key.

Before, metadata checksumming was done by the callers of read_tree_block,
which would set EXTENT_CSUM bits in the extent tree to show that a given
range of pages was already checksummed and didn't need to be verified
again.
But, those bits could go away via try_to_releasepage, and the end
result was bogus checksum failures on pages that never left the cache.
The new code validates checksums when the page is read. It is a little
tricky because metadata blocks can span pages and a single read may
end up going via multiple bios.

When we checkum file data during writepage, the checksumming is done one
page at a time, making it difficult to do bulk metadata modifications
to insert checksums for large ranges of the file at once.
This patch changes btrfs to checksum on a per-bio basis instead. The
bios are checksummed before they are handed off to the block layer, so
each bio is contiguous and only has pages from the same inode.
Checksumming on a bio basis allows us to insert and modify the file
checksum items in large groups. It also allows the checksumming to
be done more easily by async worker threads.

Dead roots are trees left over after a crash, and they were either in the

Before, a search of the entire tree of root pointers was done on mount
