We have an optimization in btrfs to allow blocks to be
immediately freed if they were allocated in this transaction and never
written. Otherwise they are pinned and freed when the transaction
commits.
This isn't optimal for discard mode because immediately freeing
them means immediately discarding them. It is better to give the
block to the pinning code and letting the (slow) discard happen later.

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.
We do this by breaking up btrfs_write_wait_marked_extents into
two functions, which is trivial because it was already broken
up into two parts.

rpm has a habit of running fdatasync when the file hasn't
changed. We already detect if a file hasn't been changed
in the current transaction but it might have been sent to
the tree-log in this transaction and not changed since
the last call to fsync.
In this case, we want to avoid a tree log sync, which includes
a number of synchronous writes and barriers. This commit
extends the existing tracking of the last transaction to change
a file to also track the last sub-transaction.

This patch moves the delalloc flushing that occurs when we are under space
pressure off to a async thread pool. This helps since we only free up
metadata space when we actually insert the extent item, which means it takes

This patch fixes an issue with the delalloc metadata space reservation
code. The problem is we used to free the reservation as soon as we
allocated the delalloc region. The problem with this is if we are not
inserting an inline extent, we don't actually insert the extent item until
after the ordered extent is written out. This patch does 3 things,
1) It moves the reservation clearing stuff into the ordered code, so when
we remove the ordered extent we remove the reservation.
2) It adds a EXTENT_DO_ACCOUNTING flag that gets passed when we clear
delalloc bits in the cases where we want to clear the metadata reservation
when we clear the delalloc extent, in the case that we do an inline extent
or we invalidate the page.
3) It adds another waitqueue to the space info so that when we start a fs
wide delalloc flush, anybody else who also hits that area will simply wait
for the flush to finish and then try to make their allocation.
This has been tested thoroughly to make sure we did not regress on
performance.

Like the cluster allocating stuff, we can lockup the box with the normal
allocation path. This happens when we
1) Start to cache a block group that is severely fragmented, but has a decent
amount of free space.
2) Start to commit a transaction
3) Have the commit try and empty out some of the delalloc inodes with extents
that are relatively large.
The inodes will not be able to make the allocations because they will ask for
allocations larger than a contiguous area in the free space cache. So we will
wait for more progress to be made on the block group, but since we're in a
commit the caching kthread won't make any more progress and it already has
enough free space that wait_block_group_cache_progress will just return. So,
if we wait and fail to make the allocation the next time around, just loop and
go to the next block group. This keeps us from getting stuck in a softlockup.

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

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.

During releasepage, we try to drop any extent_state structs for the

telling clear_extent_bit to delete the state struct unconditionallly.
Normally this would be fine because we have the page locked, but other
parts of btrfs will lock down an entire extent, the most common place
being IO completion.
releasepage was deleting the extent state without first locking the extent,

locked down. The fix here is to leave the NODATASUM and EXTENT_LOCKED

Both set and clear_extent_bit allow passing a cached

The fix used here (from Yan Zheng) is to use the hit_next

bits without making sure the cached state was exactly correct
for the operation we were doing.
This also fixes up the setting of the start variable for both

begins before the range we want to change. In both cases
we were incorrectly going backwards from the original

The box can get locked up in the allocator if we happen upon a block group
under these conditions:
1) During a commit, so caching threads cannot make progress
2) Our block group currently is in the middle of being cached
3) Our block group currently has plenty of free space in it
4) Our block group is so fragmented that it ends up having no free space chunks
larger than min_bytes calculated by btrfs_find_space_cluster.
What happens is we try and do btrfs_find_space_cluster, which fails because it
is unable to find enough free space chunks that are large than min_bytes and
are close enough together. Since the block group is not cached we do a
wait_block_group_cache_progress, which waits for the number of bytes we need,
except the block group already has _plenty_ of free space, its just severely
fragmented, so we loop and try again, ad infinitum. This patch keeps us from
waiting on the block group to finish caching if we failed to find a free space
cluster before. It also makes sure that we don't even try to find a free space

checking to see if we have room to move this chunk around, and if not, return
