66b4ffd110 Btrfs: handle errors in btrfs_orphan_cleanup
If we cannot truncate an inode for some reason we will never delete the orphan
item associated with that inode, which means that we will loop forever in
btrfs_orphan_cleanup.  Instead of doing this just return error so we fail to
mount.  It sucks, but hey it's better than hanging.  Thanks,

c87f08ca44 Btrfs: allow balance to explicitly allocate chunks as it relocates
Btrfs device shrinking and balancing ends up reallocating all the blocks
in order to allow COW to move them to new destinations.  It is somewhat
awkward in terms of ENOSPC because most of the enospc code is built
around the idea that some operation on a reference counted tree triggers
allocations in the non-reference counted trees.

This commit changes the balancing code to deal with enospc by trying to
allocate a new chunk.  If that allocation succeeds, we go ahead and
retry whatever failed due to enospc.

3612b49598 btrfs: fix return value check of btrfs_join_transaction()
The error check of btrfs_join_transaction()/btrfs_join_transaction_nolock()
is added, and the mistake of the error check in several places is
corrected.

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:
 - BUG_ON() is reduced by using the forced-readonly framework, etc.

0af3d00bad Btrfs: create special free space cache inode
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.

8bb8ab2e93 Btrfs: rework how we reserve metadata bytes
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,

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
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.

2ac55d41b5 Btrfs: cache the extent state everywhere we possibly can V2
This patch just goes through and fixes everybody that does

lock_extent()
blah
unlock_extent()

to use

lock_extent_bits()
blah
unlock_extent_cached()

and pass around a extent_state so we only have to do the searches once per
function.  This gives me about a 3 mb/s boots on my random write test.  I have
not converted some things, like the relocation and ioctl's, since they aren't
heavily used and the relocation stuff is in the middle of being re-written.  I
also changed the clear_extent_bit() to only unset the cached state if we are
clearing EXTENT_LOCKED and related stuff, so we can do things like this

lock_extent_bits()
clear delalloc bits
unlock_extent_cached()

without losing our cached state.  I tested this thoroughly and turned on
LEAK_DEBUG to make sure we weren't leaking extent states, everything worked out
fine.

73f73415ca Btrfs: change how we mount subvolumes
This work is in preperation for being able to set a different root as the
default mounting root.

There is currently a problem with how we mount subvolumes.  We cannot currently
mount a subvolume of a subvolume, you can only mount subvolumes/snapshots of the
default subvolume.  So say you take a snapshot of the default subvolume and call
it snap1, and then take a snapshot of snap1 and call it snap2, so now you have

/
/snap1
/snap1/snap2

as your available volumes.  Currently you can only mount / and /snap1,
you cannot mount /snap1/snap2.  To fix this problem instead of passing
subvolid=<name> you must pass in subvolid=<treeid>, where <treeid> is
the tree id that gets spit out via the subvolume listing you get from
the subvolume listing patches (btrfs filesystem list).  This allows us
to mount /, /snap1 and /snap1/snap2 as the root volume.

In addition to the above, we also now read the default dir item in the
tree root to get the root key that it points to.  For now this just
points at what has always been the default subvolme, but later on I plan
to change it to point at whatever root you want to be the new default
root, so you can just set the default mount and not have to mount with
-o subvolid=<treeid>.  I tested this out with the above scenario and it
worked perfectly.  Thanks,

mount -o subvol operates inside the selected subvolid.  For example:

mount -o subvol=snap1,subvolid=256 /dev/xxx /mnt

/mnt will have the snap1 directory for the subvolume with id
256.

mount -o subvol=snap /dev/xxx /mnt

/mnt will be the snap directory of whatever the default subvolume
is.

d7ce5843bb Btrfs: remove BUG_ON() due to mounting bad filesystem
Mounting a bad filesystem caused a BUG_ON(). The following is steps to
reproduce it.
 # mkfs.btrfs /dev/sda2
 # mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
 # mkfs.btrfs /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2
 (the program says that /dev/sda2 was mounted, and then exits. )
 # umount /mnt
 # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt

At the third step, mkfs.btrfs exited in the way of make filesystem. So the
initialization of the filesystem didn't finish. So the filesystem was bad, and
it caused BUG_ON() when mounting it. But BUG_ON() should be called by the wrong
code, not user's operation, so I think it is a bug of btrfs.

This patch fixes it.

61d92c328c Btrfs: fix deadlock on async thread startup
The btrfs async worker threads are used for a wide variety of things,
including processing bio end_io functions.  This means that when
the endio threads aren't running, the rest of the FS isn't
able to do the final processing required to clear PageWriteback.

The endio threads also try to exit as they become idle and
start more as the work piles up.  The problem is that starting more
threads means kthreadd may need to allocate ram, and that allocation
may wait until the global number of writeback pages on the system is
below a certain limit.

The result of that throttling is that end IO threads wait on
kthreadd, who is waiting on IO to end, which will never happen.

This commit fixes the deadlock by handing off thread startup to a
dedicated thread.  It also fixes a bug where the on-demand thread
creation was creating far too many threads because it didn't take into
account threads being started by other procs.

33c66f430b Btrfs: fix locking issue in btrfs_find_next_key
When walking up the tree, btrfs_find_next_key assumes the upper level tree
block is properly locked. This isn't always true even path->keep_locks is 1.
This is because btrfs_find_next_key may advance path->slots[] several times
instead of only once.

When 'path->slots[level] >= btrfs_header_nritems(path->nodes[level])' is found,
we can't guarantee the original value of 'path->slots[level]' is
'btrfs_header_nritems(path->nodes[level]) - 1'. If it's not, the tree block at

2c47e605a9 Btrfs: update backrefs while dropping snapshot
The new backref format has restriction on type of backref item.  If a tree
block isn't referenced by its owner tree, full backrefs must be used for the
pointers in it. When a tree block loses its owner tree's reference, backrefs
for the pointers in it should be updated to full backrefs. Current
btrfs_drop_snapshot misses the code that updates backrefs, so it's unsafe for
general use.

This patch adds backrefs update code to btrfs_drop_snapshot.  It isn't a
problem in the restricted form btrfs_drop_snapshot is used today, but for
general snapshot deletion this update is required.

5d4f98a28c Btrfs: Mixed back reference (FORWARD ROLLING FORMAT CHANGE)
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.
