To check whether a given file extent is referenced by multiple snapshots, the
checker walks down the fs tree through dead root and checks all tree blocks in
the path.
We can easily detect whether a given tree block is directly referenced by other
snapshot. We can also detect any indirect reference from other snapshot by
checking reference's generation. The checker can always detect multiple
references, but can't reliably detect cases of single reference. So btrfs may
do file data cow even there is only one reference.

A large reference cache is directly related to a lot of work pending
for the cleaner thread. This throttles back new operations based on
the size of the reference cache so the cleaner thread will be able to keep
up.
Overall, this actually makes the FS faster because the cleaner thread will
be more likely to find things in cache.

This changes the reference cache to make a single cache per root
instead of one cache per transaction, and to key by the byte number
of the disk block instead of the keys inside.
This makes it much less likely to have cache misses if a snapshot
or something has an extra reference on a higher node or a leaf while
the first transaction that added the leaf into the cache is dropping.
Some throttling is added to functions that free blocks heavily so they
wait for old transactions to drop.

Much of the IO done while dropping snapshots is done looking up
leaves in the filesystem trees to see if they point to any extents and

The 'char name[BTRFS_PATH_NAME_MAX]' member of struct btrfs_ioctl_vol_args
is passed directly to strlen() after being copied from user. I haven't
verified this, but in theory a userspace program could pass in an
unterminated string and cause a kernel crash as strlen walks off the end of
the array.
This patch terminates the ->name string in all btrfs ioctl functions which
currently use a 'struct btrfs_ioctl_vol_args'. Since the string is now
properly terminated, it's length will never be longer than
BTRFS_PATH_NAME_MAX so that error check has been removed.
By the way, it might be better overall to just have the ioctl pass an
unterminated string + length structure but I didn't bother with that since
it'd change the kernel/user interface.

Before setting an extent to delalloc, the code needs to wait for

Checksum items are not inserted into the tree until all of the io from a
given extent is complete. This means one dirty page from an extent may
be written, freed, and then read again before the entire extent is on disk
and the checksum item is inserted.
The checksums themselves are stored in the ordered extent so they can
be inserted in bulk when IO is complete. On read, if a checksum item isn't
found, the ordered extents were being searched for a checksum record.
This all worked most of the time, but the checksum insertion code tries
to reduce the number of tree operations by pre-inserting checksum items
based on i_size and a few other factors. This means the read code might
find a checksum item that hasn't yet really been filled in.
This commit changes things to check the ordered extents first and only
dive into the btree if nothing was found. This removes the need for
extra locking and is more reliable.

Lockdep has the notion of locking subclasses so that you can identify
locks you expect to be taken after other locks of the same class. This
changes the per-extent buffer btree locking routines to use a subclass based
on the level in the tree.
Unfortunately, lockdep can only handle 8 total subclasses, and the btrfs
max level is also 8. So when lockdep is on, use a lower max level.

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.

Checksum items are not inserted until the entire ordered extent is on disk,
but individual pages might be clean and available for reclaim long before
the whole extent is on disk.
In order to allow those pages to be freed, we need to be able to search
the list of ordered extents to find the checksum that is going to be inserted
in the tree. This way if the page needs to be read back in before
the checksums are in the btree, we'll be able to verify the checksum on
the page.
This commit adds the ability to search the pending ordered extents for
a given offset in the file, and changes btrfs_releasepage to allow
ordered pages to be freed.

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.

The existing throttle mechanism was often not sufficient to prevent
new writers from coming in and making a given transaction run forever.
This adds an explicit wait at the end of most operations so they will

There is no wait inside file_write, inode updates, or cow filling, all which
have different deadlock possibilities.

writeback, and it really needs to be fixed.

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

The allocation trees and the chunk trees are serialized via their own

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.
