In these instances, we are trying to determine if a page has been accessed
since we began the operation for the sake of retry. This is easily
accomplished by doing a gang lookup in the page mapping radix tree, and it
saves us the dependency on the flag (so that we might eventually delete
it).
btrfs_page_exists_in_range borrows heavily from find_get_page, replacing
the radix tree look up with a gang lookup of 1, so that we can find the
next highest page >= index and see if it falls into our lock range.

The log trans id is initialized to be 0 every time we create a log tree,
and the log tree need be re-created after a new transaction is started,
it means the log trans id is unlikely to be a huge number, so we can use
signed integer instead of unsigned long integer to save a bit space.

This change adds infrastructure to allow for generic properties for
inodes. Properties are name/value pairs that can be associated with
inodes for different purposes. They are stored as xattrs with the
prefix "btrfs."
Properties can be inherited - this means when a directory inode has
inheritable properties set, these are added to new inodes created
under that directory. Further, subvolumes can also have properties
associated with them, and they can be inherited from their parent
subvolume. Naturally, directory properties have priority over subvolume
properties (in practice a subvolume property is just a regular
property associated with the root inode, objectid 256, of the
subvolume's fs tree).
This change also adds one specific property implementation, named
"compression", whose values can be "lzo" or "zlib" and it's an
inheritable property.
The corresponding changes to btrfs-progs were also implemented.
A patch with xfstests for this feature will follow once there's
agreement on this change/feature.
Further, the script at the bottom of this commit message was used to
do some benchmarks to measure any performance penalties of this feature.
Basically the tests correspond to:
Test 1 - create a filesystem and mount it with compress-force=lzo,
then sequentially create N files of 64Kb each, measure how long it took
to create the files, unmount the filesystem, mount the filesystem and
perform an 'ls -lha' against the test directory holding the N files, and
report the time the command took.
Test 2 - create a filesystem and don't use any compression option when
mounting it - instead set the compression property of the subvolume's
root to 'lzo'. Then create N files of 64Kb, and report the time it took.
The unmount the filesystem, mount it again and perform an 'ls -lha' like
in the former test. This means every single file ends up with a property
(xattr) associated to it.
Test 3 - same as test 2, but uses 4 properties - 3 are duplicates of the
compression property, have no real effect other than adding more work
when inheriting properties and taking more btree leaf space.
Test 4 - same as test 3 but with 10 properties per file.
Results (in seconds, and averages of 5 runs each), for different N
numbers of files follow.
* Without properties (test 1)
file creation time ls -lha time
10 000 files 3.49 0.76
100 000 files 47.19 8.37
1 000 000 files 518.51 107.06
* With 1 property (compression property set to lzo - test 2)
file creation time ls -lha time
10 000 files 3.63 0.93
100 000 files 48.56 9.74
1 000 000 files 537.72 125.11
* With 4 properties (test 3)
file creation time ls -lha time
10 000 files 3.94 1.20
100 000 files 52.14 11.48
1 000 000 files 572.70 142.13
* With 10 properties (test 4)
file creation time ls -lha time
10 000 files 4.61 1.35
100 000 files 58.86 13.83
1 000 000 files 656.01 177.61
The increased latencies with properties are essencialy because of:
*) When creating an inode, we now synchronously write 1 more item
(an xattr item) for each property inherited from the parent dir
(or subvolume). This could be done in an asynchronous way such
as we do for dir intex items (delayed-inode.c), which could help
reduce the file creation latency;
*) With properties, we now have larger fs trees. For this particular
test each xattr item uses 75 bytes of leaf space in the fs tree.
This could be less by using a new item for xattr items, instead of
the current btrfs_dir_item, since we could cut the 'location' and
'type' fields (saving 18 bytes) and maybe 'transid' too (saving a
total of 26 bytes per xattr item) from the btrfs_dir_item type.
Also tried batching the xattr insertions (ignoring proper hash
collision handling, since it didn't exist) when creating files that
inherit properties from their parent inode/subvolume, but the end
results were (surprisingly) essentially the same.

The inode reference item is close to inode item, so we insert it simultaneously
with the inode item insertion when we create a file/directory.. In fact, we also
can handle the inode reference deletion by the same way. So we made this patch to
introduce the delayed inode reference deletion for the single link inode(At most
case, the file doesn't has hard link, so we don't take the hard link into account).
This function is based on the delayed inode mechanism. After applying this patch,
we can reduce the time of the file/directory deletion by ~10%.

Currently the hash value used for adding an inode to the VFS's inode
hash table consists of the plain inode number, which is a 64 bits
integer. This results in hash table buckets (hlist_head lists) with
too many elements for at least 2 important scenarios:
1) When we have many subvolumes. Each subvolume has its own btree
where its files and directories are added to, and each has its
own objectid (inode number) namespace. This means that if we have
N subvolumes, and all have inode number X associated to a file or
directory, the corresponding inodes all map to the same hash table
entry, resulting in a bucket (hlist_head list) with N elements;
2) On 32 bits machines. Th VFS hash values are unsigned longs, which
are 32 bits wide on 32 bits machines, and the inode (objectid)
numbers are 64 bits unsigned integers. We simply cast the inode
numbers to hash values, which means that for all inodes with the
same 32 bits lower half, the same hash bucket is used for all of
them. For example, all inodes with a number (objectid) between
0x0000_0000_ffff_ffff and 0xffff_ffff_ffff_ffff will end up in
the same hash table bucket.
This change ensures the inode's hash value depends both on the
objectid (inode number) and its subvolume's (btree root) objectid.
For 32 bits machines, this change gives better entropy by making
the hash value depend on both the upper and lower 32 bits of the
64 bits hash previously computed.

Liu introduced a local copy of the last log commit for an inode to make sure we
actually log an inode even if a log commit has already taken place. In order to
make sure we didn't relog the same inode multiple times he set this local copy
to the current trans when we log the inode, because usually we log the inode and
then sync the log. The exception to this is during rename, we will relog an
inode if the name changed and it is already in the log. The problem with this
is then we go to sync the inode, and our check to see if the inode has already
been logged is tripped and we don't sync the log. To fix this we need to _also_
check against the roots last log commit, because it could be less than what is
in our local copy of the log commit. This fixes a bug where we rename a file
into a directory and then fsync the directory and then on remount the directory
is no longer there. Thanks,

Currently, we can do unlocked dio reads, but the following race
is possible:
dio_read_task truncate_task

->btrfs_direct_IO
->__blockdev_direct_IO
->btrfs_get_block
->btrfs_truncate()
#alloc truncated blocks
#to other inode
->submit_io()
#INFORMATION LEAK
In order to avoid this problem, we must serialize unlocked dio reads with
truncate. There are two approaches:
- use extent lock to protect the extent that we truncate
- use inode_dio_wait() to make sure the truncating task will wait for
the read DIO.
If we use the 1st one, we will meet the endless truncation problem due to
the nonlocked read DIO after we implement the nonlocked write DIO. It is
because we still need invoke inode_dio_wait() avoid the race between write
DIO and truncation. By that time, we have to introduce
btrfs_inode_{block, resume}_nolock_dio()
again. That is we have to implement this patch again, so I choose the 2nd
way to fix the problem.

This is based on Josef's "Btrfs: turbo charge fsync".
The current btrfs checks if an inode is in log by comparing
root's last_log_commit to inode's last_sub_trans[2].
But the problem is that this root->last_log_commit is shared among
inodes.
Say we have N inodes to be logged, after the first inode,
root's last_log_commit is updated and the N-1 remained files will
be skipped.
This fixes the bug by keeping a local copy of root's last_log_commit
inside each inode and this local copy will be maintained itself.

i.e. sub_trans

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.

I removed this in an earlier commit and I was wrong. Because compression
can return from filemap_fdatawrite() without having actually set any of it's
pages as writeback() it can make filemap_fdatawait() do essentially nothing,
and then we won't find any ordered extents because they may not have been
created yet. So not only does this make fsync() completely useless, but it
will also screw up if you truncate on a non-page aligned offset since we
zero out the end and then wait on ordered extents and then call drop caches.
We can drop the cache before the io completes and then we try to unpin the
extent we just wrote we won't find it and everything goes sideways. So fix
this by putting it back and put a giant comment there to keep me from trying
to remove it in the future. Thanks,

different locks which could cause all sorts of weird problems including the

no/different locking for the different flags and then make force_compress

People have been reporting ENOSPC crashes in finish_ordered_io. This is because
we try to steal from the delalloc block rsv to satisfy a reservation to update
the inode. The problem with this is we don't explicitly save space for updating
the inode when doing delalloc. This is kind of a problem and we've gotten away
with this because way back when we just stole from the delalloc reserve without
any questions, and this worked out fine because generally speaking the leaf had
been modified either by the mtime update when we did the original write or
because we just updated the leaf when we inserted the file extent item, only on
rare occasions had the leaf not actually been modified, and that was still ok
because we'd just use a block or two out of the over-reservation that is
delalloc.
Then came the delayed inode stuff. This is amazing, except it wants a full
reservation for updating the inode since it may do it at some point down the
road after we've written the blocks and we have to recow everything again. This
worked out because the delayed inode stuff just stole from the global reserve,
that is until recently when I changed that because it caused other problems.
So here we are, we're doing everything right and being screwed for it. So take
an extra reservation for the inode at delalloc reservation time and carry it
through the life of the delalloc reservation. If we need it we can steal it in
the delayed inode stuff. If we have already stolen it try and do a normal
metadata reservation. If that fails try to steal from the delalloc reservation.
If _that_ fails we'll get a WARN_ON() so I can start thinking of a better way to
solve this and in the meantime we'll steal from the global reserve.

atomic_dec(outstanding) now 0
atomic_read(outstanding)+1 get 1

don't actually reserve anything because

atomic_inc(outstanding)
atomic_add(0, reserved)
free reserved space for 1 extent

- Modify the patch address David Sterba's comment.
- Fix the bug of the cpu recursion spinlock, reported by Chris Mason
Changelog V1 -> V2:
- break up the global rb-tree, use a list to manage the delayed nodes,
which is created for every directory and file, and used to manage the
delayed directory name index items and the delayed inode item.
- introduce a worker to deal with the delayed nodes.
Compare with Ext3/4, the performance of file creation and deletion on btrfs
is very poor. the reason is that btrfs must do a lot of b+ tree insertions,
such as inode item, directory name item, directory name index and so on.
If we can do some delayed b+ tree insertion or deletion, we can improve the
performance, so we made this patch which implemented delayed directory name
index insertion/deletion and delayed inode update.
Implementation:
- introduce a delayed root object into the filesystem, that use two lists to
manage the delayed nodes which are created for every file/directory.
One is used to manage all the delayed nodes that have delayed items. And the
other is used to manage the delayed nodes which is waiting to be dealt with
by the work thread.
- Every delayed node has two rb-tree, one is used to manage the directory name
index which is going to be inserted into b+ tree, and the other is used to
manage the directory name index which is going to be deleted from b+ tree.
- introduce a worker to deal with the delayed operation. This worker is used
to deal with the works of the delayed directory name index items insertion
and deletion and the delayed inode update.
When the delayed items is beyond the lower limit, we create works for some
delayed nodes and insert them into the work queue of the worker, and then
go back.
When the delayed items is beyond the upper bound, we create works for all
the delayed nodes that haven't been dealt with, and insert them into the work
queue of the worker, and then wait for that the untreated items is below some
threshold value.
- When we want to insert a directory name index into b+ tree, we just add the
information into the delayed inserting rb-tree.
And then we check the number of the delayed items and do delayed items
balance. (The balance policy is above.)
- When we want to delete a directory name index from the b+ tree, we search it
in the inserting rb-tree at first. If we look it up, just drop it. If not,
add the key of it into the delayed deleting rb-tree.
Similar to the delayed inserting rb-tree, we also check the number of the
delayed items and do delayed items balance.
(The same to inserting manipulation)
- When we want to update the metadata of some inode, we cached the data of the
inode into the delayed node. the worker will flush it into the b+ tree after
dealing with the delayed insertion and deletion.
- We will move the delayed node to the tail of the list after we access the
delayed node, By this way, we can cache more delayed items and merge more
inode updates.
- If we want to commit transaction, we will deal with all the delayed node.
- the delayed node will be freed when we free the btrfs inode.
- Before we log the inode items, we commit all the directory name index items
and the delayed inode update.
I did a quick test by the benchmark tool[1] and found we can improve the
performance of file creation by ~15%, and file deletion by ~20%.

There's a potential problem in 32bit system when we exhaust 32bit inode
numbers and start to allocate big inode numbers, because btrfs uses
inode->i_ino in many places.
So here we always use BTRFS_I(inode)->location.objectid, which is an
u64 variable.
There are 2 exceptions that BTRFS_I(inode)->location.objectid !=
inode->i_ino: the btree inode (0 vs 1) and empty subvol dirs (256 vs 2),
and inode->i_ino will be used in those cases.
Another reason to make this change is I'm going to use a special inode
to save free ino cache, and the inode number must be > (u64)-256.

We track delayed allocation per inodes via 2 counters, one is
outstanding_extents and reserved_extents. Outstanding_extents is already an
atomic_t, but reserved_extents is not and is protected by a spinlock. So
convert this to an atomic_t and instead of using a spinlock, use atomic_cmpxchg
when releasing delalloc bytes. This makes our inode 72 bytes smaller, and
reduces locking overhead (albiet it was minimal to begin with). Thanks,

Introduce metadata reservation context for delayed allocation
and update various related functions.
This patch also introduces EXTENT_FIRST_DELALLOC control bit for
set/clear_extent_bit. It tells set/clear_bit_hook whether they
are processing the first extent_state with EXTENT_DELALLOC bit
set. This change is important if set/clear_extent_bit involves
multiple extent_state.

The btrfs defrag ioctl was limited to doing the entire file. This
commit adds a new interface that can defrag a specific range inside
the file.
It can also force compression on the file, allowing you to selectively
compress individual files after they were created, even when mount -o
compress isn't turned on.

There are some cases file extents are inserted without involving
ordered struct. In these cases, we update disk_i_size directly,
without checking pending ordered extent and DELALLOC bit. This

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.
The end result is that rpm -ivh and -Uvh are roughly twice as fast,
and on par with ext3.

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.

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.

btrfs allows subvolumes and snapshots anywhere in the directory tree.
If we snapshot a subvolume that contains a link to other subvolume
called subvolA, subvolA can be accessed through both the original
subvolume and the snapshot. This is similar to creating hard link to
directory, and has the very similar problems.
The aim of this patch is enforcing there is only one access point to
each subvolume. Only the first directory entry (the one added when
the subvolume/snapshot was created) is treated as valid access point.
The first directory entry is distinguished by checking root forward
reference. If the corresponding root forward reference is missing,
we know the entry is not the first one.
This patch also adds snapshot/subvolume rename support, the code
allows rename subvolume link across subvolumes.

Add support for the standard attributes set via chattr and read via
lsattr. Currently we store the attributes in the flags value in
the btrfs inode, but I wonder whether we should split it into two so
that we don't have to keep converting between the two formats.
Remove the btrfs_clear_flag/btrfs_set_flag/btrfs_test_flag macros
as they were confusing the existing code and got in the way of the
new additions.
Also add the FS_IOC_GETVERSION ioctl for getting i_generation as it's

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.

Renames and truncates are both common ways to replace old data with new
data. The filesystem can make an effort to make sure the new data is
on disk before actually replacing the old data.
This is especially important for rename, which many application use as
though it were atomic for both the data and the metadata involved. The
current btrfs code will happily replace a file that is fully on disk
with one that was just created and still has pending IO.
If we crash after transaction commit but before the IO is done, we'll end
up replacing a good file with a zero length file. The solution used
here is to create a list of inodes that need special ordering and force
them to disk before the commit is done. This is similar to the
ext3 style data=ordering, except it is only done on selected files.
Btrfs is able to get away with this because it does not wait on commits
very often, even for fsync (which use a sub-commit).
For renames, we order the file when it wasn't already
on disk and when it is replacing an existing file. Larger files
are sent to filemap_flush right away (before the transaction handle is
opened).
For truncates, we order if the file goes from non-zero size down to
zero size. This is a little different, because at the time of the
truncate the file has no dirty bytes to order. But, we flag the inode
so that it is added to the ordered list on close (via release method). We
also immediately add it to the ordered list of the current transaction
so that we can try to flush down any writes the application sneaks in
before commit.
