A user sent me a btrfs-image of a file system that was panicing on mount during
the log recovery. I had originally thought these problems were from a bug in
the free space cache code, but that was just a symptom of the problem. The
problem is if your application does something like this
[prealloc][prealloc][prealloc]
the internal extent maps will merge those all together into one extent map, even
though on disk they are 3 separate extents. So if you go to write into one of
these ranges the extent map will be right since we use the physical extent when
doing the write, but when we log the extents they will use the wrong sizes for
the remainder prealloc space. If this doesn't happen to trip up the free space
cache (which it won't in a lot of cases) then you will get bogus entries in your
extent tree which will screw stuff up later. The data and such will still work,
but everything else is broken. This patch fixes this by not allowing extents
that are on the modified list to be merged. This has the side effect that we
are no longer adding everything to the modified list all the time, which means
we now have to call btrfs_drop_extents every time we log an extent into the
tree. So this allows me to drop all this speciality code I was using to get
around calling btrfs_drop_extents. With this patch the testcase I've created no
longer creates a bogus file system after replaying the log. Thanks,

When logging changed extents I was logging ram_bytes as the current length,
which isn't correct, it's supposed to be the ram bytes of the original extent.
This is for compression where even if we split the extent we need to know the
ram bytes so when we uncompress the extent we know how big it will be. This was
still working out right with compression for some reason but I think we were
getting lucky. It was definitely off for prealloc which is why I noticed it,
btrfsck was complaining about it. With this patch btrfsck no longer complains
after a log replay. Thanks,

We drop the extent map tree lock while we're logging extents, so somebody
could come in and merge another extent into this one and screw up our
logging, or they could even remove us from the list which would keep us from
logging the extent or freeing our ref on it, so we need to make sure to not
clear LOGGING until after the extent is logged, and then we can merge it to
adjacent extents. Thanks,

We are going to use EM's to log extents in the future, so we need to not
mark them as prealloc if they aren't actually prealloc extents. Instead
mark them with FILLING so we know to ammend mod_start/mod_len and that way
we don't confuse the extent logging code. Thanks,

If we've written to a prealloc extent we need to know the original block len
for the extent. We can't figure this out currently since ->block_len is
just set to the extent length. So introduce ->orig_block_len so that we
know how many bytes were in the original extent for proper extent logging
that future patches will need. Thanks,

Dave Sterba pointed out a sleeping while atomic bug while doing fsync. This
is because I'm an idiot and didn't realize that rwlock's were spin locks, so
we've been holding this thing while doing allocations and such which is not
good. This patch fixes this by dropping the write lock before we do
anything heavy and re-acquire it when it is done. We also need to take a
ref on the em's in case their corresponding pages are evicted and mark them
as being logged so that releasepage does not remove them and doesn't remove
them from our local list. Thanks,

This is based on Josef's "Btrfs: turbo charge fsync".
The above Josef's patch performs very good in random sync write test,
because we won't have too much extents to merge.
However, it does not performs good on the test:
dd if=/dev/zero of=foobar bs=4k count=12500 oflag=sync
The reason is when we do sequencial sync write, we need to merge the
current extent just with the previous one, so that we can get accumulated
extents to log:
A(4k) --> AA(8k) --> AAA(12k) --> AAAA(16k) ...
So we'll have to flush more and more checksum into log tree, which is the
bottleneck according to my tests.
But we can avoid this by telling fsync the real extents that are needed
to be logged.
With this, I did the above dd sync write test (size=50m),

At least for the vm workload. Currently on fsync we will
1) Truncate all items in the log tree for the given inode if they exist
and
2) Copy all items for a given inode into the log
The problem with this is that for things like VMs you can have lots of
extents from the fragmented writing behavior, and worst yet you may have
only modified a few extents, not the entire thing. This patch fixes this
problem by tracking which transid modified our extent, and then when we do
the tree logging we find all of the extents we've modified in our current
transaction, sort them and commit them. We also only truncate up to the
xattrs of the inode and copy that stuff in normally, and then just drop any
extents in the range we have that exist in the log already. Here are some
numbers of a 50 meg fio job that does random writes and fsync()s after every
write
Original Patched
SATA drive 82KB/s 140KB/s
Fusion drive 431KB/s 2532KB/s
So around 2-6 times faster depending on your hardware. There are a few
corner cases, for example if you truncate at all we have to do it the old
way since there is no way to be sure what is in the log is ok. This
probably could be done smarter, but if you write-fsync-truncate-write-fsync
you deserve what you get. All this work is in RAM of course so if your
inode gets evicted from cache and you read it in and fsync it we'll do it
the slow way if we are still in the same transaction that we last modified
the inode in.
The biggest cool part of this is that it requires no changes to the recovery
code, so if you fsync with this patch and crash and load an old kernel, it
will run the recovery and be a-ok. I have tested this pretty thoroughly
with an fsync tester and everything comes back fine, as well as xfstests.

On ia64, powerpc64 and sparc64 the bitfield is modified through a RMW cycle and current

The allocator has some nice knobs for sending hints about where

Data COW means that whenever we write to a file, we replace any old
extent pointers with new ones. There was a window where a readpage
might find the old extent pointers on disk and cache them in the
extent_map tree in ram in the middle of a given write replacing them.
Even though both the readpage and the write had their respective bytes
in the file locked, the extent readpage inserts may cover more bytes than
it had locked down.
This commit closes the race by keeping the new extent pinned in the extent
map tree until after the on-disk btree is properly setup with the new
extent pointers.

There are two main users of the extent_map tree. The
first is regular file inodes, where it is evenly spread
between readers and writers.
The second is the chunk allocation tree, which maps blocks from
logical addresses to phyiscal ones, and it is 99.99% reads.
The mapping tree is a point of lock contention during heavy IO
workloads, so this commit switches things to a rw lock.

The decompress code doesn't take the logical offset in extent
pointer into account. If the logical offset isn't zero, data
will be decompressed into wrong pages.
The solution used here is to record the starting offset of the extent
in the file separately from the logical start of the extent_map struct.
This allows us to avoid problems inserting overlapping extents.

This patch updates btrfs-progs for fallocate support.
fallocate is a little different in Btrfs because we need to tell the
COW system that a given preallocated extent doesn't need to be
cow'd as long as there are no snapshots of it. This leverages the
-o nodatacow checks.

This is a large change for adding compression on reading and writing,
both for inline and regular extents. It does some fairly large
surgery to the writeback paths.
Compression is off by default and enabled by mount -o compress. Even
when the -o compress mount option is not used, it is possible to read
compressed extents off the disk.
If compression for a given set of pages fails to make them smaller, the
file is flagged to avoid future compression attempts later.
* While finding delalloc extents, the pages are locked before being sent down
to the delalloc handler. This allows the delalloc handler to do complex things
such as cleaning the pages, marking them writeback and starting IO on their
behalf.
* Inline extents are inserted at delalloc time now. This allows us to compress
the data before inserting the inline extent, and it allows us to insert
an inline extent that spans multiple pages.
* All of the in-memory extent representations (extent_map.c, ordered-data.c etc)
are changed to record both an in-memory size and an on disk size, as well
as a flag for compression.
From a disk format point of view, the extent pointers in the file are changed
to record the on disk size of a given extent and some encoding flags.
Space in the disk format is allocated for compression encoding, as well
as encryption and a generic 'other' field. Neither the encryption or the
'other' field are currently used.
In order to limit the amount of data read for a single random read in the
file, the size of a compressed extent is limited to 128k. This is a
software only limit, the disk format supports u64 sized compressed extents.
In order to limit the ram consumed while processing extents, the uncompressed
size of a compressed extent is limited to 256k. This is a software only limit
and will be subject to tuning later.
Checksumming is still done on compressed extents, and it is done on the
uncompressed version of the data. This way additional encodings can be
layered on without having to figure out which encoding to checksum.
Compression happens at delalloc time, which is basically singled threaded because
it is usually done by a single pdflush thread. This makes it tricky to
spread the compression load across all the cpus on the box. We'll have to
look at parallel pdflush walks of dirty inodes at a later time.
Decompression is hooked into readpages and it does spread across CPUs nicely.

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.

It was possible for stale mappings from disk to be used instead of the

There is now extent_map for mapping offsets in the file to disk and
extent_io for state tracking, IO submission and extent_bufers.
The new extent_map code shifts from [start,end] pairs to [start,len], and
pushes the locking out into the caller. This allows a few performance
optimizations and is easier to use.
A number of extent_map usage bugs were fixed, mostly with failing
to remove extent_map entries when changing the file.

The fixes do a number of things:
1) Most btrfs_drop_extent callers will try to leave the inline extents in
place. It can truncate bytes off the beginning of the inline extent if
required.
2) writepage can now update the inline extent, allowing mmap writes to
go directly into the inline extent.
3) btrfs_truncate_in_transaction truncates inline extents
4) extent_map.c fixed to not merge inline extent mappings and hole
mappings together

XFS updates the ondisk inode size only after the data I/O has finished,
so it needs a hook when the writepage end_bio handler has finished.
Might not be worth applying as-is as the per-page callback is very
ineffcient. What XFS really wants is a callback when writeout of a
whole extent has completed. This delayed i_size updates scheme might
be worthwile for btrfs aswell, btw.
