The btrfs IO submission threads try to service a bunch of devices with a small
number of threads. They do a congestion check to try and avoid waiting
on requests for a busy device.
The checks make sure we've sent a few requests down to a given device just so
that we aren't bouncing between busy devices without actually sending down
any IO. The counter used to decide if we can switch to the next device
is somewhat overloaded. It is also being used to decide if we've done
a good batch of requests between the WRITE_SYNC or regular priority lists.
It may get reset to zero often, leaving us hammering on a busy device
instead of moving on to another disk.
This commit adds a new counter for the number of bios sent while
servicing a device. It doesn't get reset or fiddled with. On
multi-device filesystems, this fixes IO stalls in streaming
write workloads.

Btrfs uses dedicated threads to submit bios when checksumming is on,
which allows us to make sure the threads dedicated to checksumming don't get
stuck waiting for requests. For each btrfs device, there are
two lists of bios. One list is for WRITE_SYNC bios and the other
is for regular priority bios.
The IO submission threads used to process all of the WRITE_SYNC bios first and
then switch to the regular bios. This commit makes sure we don't completely
starve the regular bios by rotating between the two lists.
WRITE_SYNC bios are still favored 2:1 over the regular bios, and this tries
to run in batches to avoid seeking. Benchmarking shows this eliminates
stalls during streaming buffered writes on both multi-device and
single device filesystems.
If the regular bios starve, the system can end up with a large amount of ram
pinned down in writeback pages. If we are a little more fair between the two
classes, we're able to keep throughput up and make progress on the bulk of
our dirty ram.

Once a metadata block has been written, it must be recowed, so the
btrfs dirty balancing call has a check to make sure a fair amount of metadata
was actually dirty before it started writing it back to disk.
A previous commit had changed the dirty tracking for metadata without
updating the btrfs dirty balancing checks. This commit switches it
to use the correct counter.

With the new back reference code, the cost of a balance has gone down

makes us more aggressively balance leaves and nodes as they become
less full.
Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
When the delayed reference code was added, some checks were added
to avoid extra balancing while the delayed references were being flushed.
This made for less efficient btrees, but it reduced the chances of
loops where no forward progress was made because the balances made
more delayed ref updates.
With the new dead root removal code and the mixed back references,
the extent allocation tree is no longer using precise back refs, and
the delayed reference updates don't carry the risk of looping forever
anymore. So, the balance avoidance is no longer required.
Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
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.

Btrfs: Fix oops and use after free during space balancing
Btrfs: set device->total_disk_bytes when adding new device
The btrfs allocator uses list_for_each to walk the available block
groups when searching for free blocks. It starts off with a hint
to help find the best block group for a given allocation.
The hint is resolved into a block group, but we don't properly check
to make sure the block group we find isn't in the middle of being
freed due to filesystem shrinking or balancing. If it is being
freed, the list pointers in it are bogus and can't be trusted. But,
the code happily goes along and uses them in the list_for_each loop,
leading to all kinds of fun.
The fix used here is to check to make sure the block group we find really
is on the list before we use it. list_del_init is used when removing
it from the list, so we can do a proper check.
The allocation clustering code has a similar bug where it will trust
the block group in the current free space cluster. If our allocation
flags have changed (going from single spindle dup to raid1 for example)
because the drives in the FS have changed, we're not allowed to use
the old block group any more.
The fix used here is to check the current cluster against the
current allocation flags.

After a transaction commit, the old root of the subvol btrees are sent through

Snapshot deletion will pause when a transaction commit has started, which
helps to avoid a huge amount of delayed reference count updates piling up
as the transaction is trying to close.
But, this pause happens after the snapshot deletion process has asked other
procs on the system to throttle back a bit so that it can make progress.
We don't want to throttle everyone while we're waiting for the transaction

Btrfs fallocate was incorrectly starting a transaction with a lock held

Btrfs is using WRITE_SYNC_PLUG to send down synchronous IOs with a
higher priority. But, the checksumming helper threads prevent it
from being fully effective.
There are two problems. First, a big queue of pending checksumming
will delay the synchronous IO behind other lower priority writes. Second,
the checksumming uses an ordered async work queue. The ordering makes sure
that IOs are sent to the block layer in the same order they are sent
to the checksumming threads. Usually this gives us less seeky IO.
But, when we start mixing IO priorities, the lower priority IO can delay
the higher priority IO.
This patch solves both problems by adding a high priority list to the async
helper threads, and a new btrfs_set_work_high_prio(), which is used
to make put a new async work item onto the higher priority list.
The ordering is still done on high priority IO, but all of the high
priority bios are ordered separately from the low priority bios. This
ordering is purely an IO optimization, it is not involved in data
or metadata integrity.

Part of reducing fsync/O_SYNC/O_DIRECT latencies is using WRITE_SYNC for
writes we plan on waiting on in the near future. This patch
mirrors recent changes in other filesystems and the generic code to
use WRITE_SYNC when WB_SYNC_ALL is passed and to use WRITE_SYNC for
other latency critical writes.
Btrfs uses async worker threads for checksumming before the write is done,
and then again to actually submit the bios. The bio submission code just
runs a per-device list of bios that need to be sent down the pipe.
This list is split into low priority and high priority lists so the
WRITE_SYNC IO happens first.

Because btrfs is copy-on-write, we end up picking new locations for
blocks very often. This makes it fairly difficult to maintain perfect
read patterns over time, but we can at least do some optimizations
for writes.
This is done today by remembering the last place we allocated and
trying to find a free space hole big enough to hold more than just one
allocation. The end result is that we tend to write sequentially to
the drive.
This happens all the time for metadata and it happens for data
when mounted -o ssd. But, the way we record it is fairly racey
and it tends to fragment the free space over time because we are trying
to allocate fairly large areas at once.
This commit gets rid of the races by adding a free space cluster object
with dedicated locking to make sure that only one process at a time
is out replacing the cluster.
The free space fragmentation is somewhat solved by allowing a cluster
to be comprised of smaller free space extents. This part definitely
adds some CPU time to the cluster allocations, but it allows the allocator
to consume the small holes left behind by cow.

be at the end of the allocation.
It will return an offset for the allocator to use. If we don't end up using it

Btrfs pages being written get set to writeback, and then may go through
a number of steps before they hit the block layer. This includes compression,
checksumming and async bio submission.
The end result is that someone who writes a page and then does
wait_on_page_writeback is likely to unplug the queue before the bio they
cared about got there.
We could fix this by marking bios sync, or by doing more frequent unplugs,
but this commit just changes the async bio submission code to unplug
after it has processed all the bios for a device. The async bio submission
does a fair job of collection bios, so this shouldn't be a huge problem
for reducing merging at the elevator.

Btrfs uses async helper threads to submit write bios so the checksumming
helper threads don't block on the disk.
The submit bio threads may process bios for more than one block device,
so when they find one device congested they try to move on to other
devices instead of blocking in get_request_wait for one device.
This does a pretty good job of keeping multiple devices busy, but the
congested flag has a number of problems. A congested device may still
give you a request, and other procs that aren't backing off the congested
device may starve you out.
This commit uses the io_context stored in current to decide if our process
has been made a batching process by the block layer. If so, it keeps
sending IO down for at least one batch. This helps make sure we do
a good amount of work each time we visit a bdev, and avoids large IO
stalls in multi-device workloads.
It's also very ugly. A better solution is in the works with Jens Axboe.

page_mkwrite is called with neither the page lock nor the ptl held. This
means a page can be concurrently truncated or invalidated out from
underneath it. Callers are supposed to prevent truncate races themselves,
however previously the only thing they can do in case they hit one is to
raise a SIGBUS. A sigbus is wrong for the case that the page has been
invalidated or truncated within i_size (eg. hole punched). Callers may
also have to perform memory allocations in this path, where again, SIGBUS
would be wrong.
The previous patch ("mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match fault")
made it possible to properly specify errors. Convert the generic buffer.c
code and btrfs to return sane error values (in the case of page removed
from pagecache, VM_FAULT_NOPAGE will cause the fault handler to exit
without doing anything, and the fault will be retried properly).
This fixes core code, and converts btrfs as a template/example. All other
filesystems defining their own page_mkwrite should be fixed in a similar
manner.

Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return
VM_FAULT_xxx flags. There should be no functional change.
This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to
the VM (and also can provide more information eg. virtual_address to the
driver, which might be important in some special cases).
This is required for a subsequent fix. And will also make it easier to
merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

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.

btrfs_update_delayed_ref is optimized to add and remove different
references in one pass through the delayed ref tree. It is a zero
sum on the total number of refs on a given extent.
But, the code was recording an extra ref in the head node. This
never made it down to the disk but was used when deciding if it was
safe to free the extent while dropping snapshots.
The fix used here is to make sure the ref_mod count is unchanged
on the head ref when btrfs_update_delayed_ref is called.

The fsync log has code to make sure all of the parents of a file are in the
log along with the file. It uses a minimal log of the parent directory
inodes, just enough to get the parent directory on disk.
If the transaction that originally created a file is fully on disk,
and the file hasn't been renamed or linked into other directories, we
can safely skip the parent directory walk. We know the file is on disk
somewhere and we can go ahead and just log that single file.
This is more important now because unrelated unlinks in the parent directory
might make us force a commit if we try to log the parent.
Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
The tree logging code allows individual files or directories to be logged
without including operations on other files and directories in the FS.
It tries to commit the minimal set of changes to disk in order to
fsync the single file or directory that was sent to fsync or O_SYNC.
The tree logging code was allowing files and directories to be unlinked
if they were part of a rename operation where only one directory
in the rename was in the fsync log. This patch adds a few new rules
to the tree logging.
1) on rename or unlink, if the inode being unlinked isn't in the fsync
log, we must force a full commit before doing an fsync of the directory
where the unlink was done. The commit isn't done during the unlink,
but it is forced the next time we try to log the parent directory.
Solution: record transid of last unlink/rename per directory when the
directory wasn't already logged. For renames this is only done when
renaming to a different directory.
mkdir foo/some_dir
normal commit
rename foo/some_dir foo2/some_dir
mkdir foo/some_dir
fsync foo/some_dir/some_file
The fsync above will unlink the original some_dir without recording
it in its new location (foo2). After a crash, some_dir will be gone
unless the fsync of some_file forces a full commit
2) we must log any new names for any file or dir that is in the fsync
log. This way we make sure not to lose files that are unlinked during
the same transaction.
2a) we must log any new names for any file or dir during rename
when the directory they are being removed from was logged.
2a is actually the more important variant. Without the extra logging
a crash might unlink the old name without recreating the new one
3) after a crash, we must go through any directories with a link count
of zero and redo the rm -rf
mkdir f1/foo
normal commit
rm -rf f1/foo
fsync(f1)
The directory f1 was fully removed from the FS, but fsync was never
called on f1, only its parent dir. After a crash the rm -rf must
be replayed. This must be able to recurse down the entire
directory tree. The inode link count fixup code takes care of the
ugly details.
Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
During log replay, inodes are copied from the log to the main filesystem
btrees. Sometimes they have a zero link count in the log but they actually
gain links during the replay or have some in the main btree.
This patch updates the link count to be at least one after copying the
inode out of the log. This makes sure the inode is deleted during an
iput while the rest of the replay code is still working on it.
The log replay has fixup code to make sure that link counts are correct
at the end of the replay, so we could use any non-zero number here and
it would work fine.

The delayed reference mechanism is responsible for all updates to the
extent allocation trees, including those updates created while processing
the delayed references.
This commit tries to limit the amount of work that gets created during

unless it is required to finish the commit, and so it avoids new allocations

btrfs_mark_buffer dirty would set dirty bits in the extent_io tree
for the buffers it was dirtying. This may require a kmalloc and it
was not atomic. So, anyone who called btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty had to
set any btree locks they were holding to blocking first.
This commit changes dirty tracking for extent buffers to just use a flag
in the extent buffer. Now that we have one and only one extent buffer
per page, this can be safely done without losing dirty bits along the way.
This also introduces a path->leave_spinning flag that callers of
btrfs_search_slot can use to indicate they will properly deal with a
path returned where all the locks are spinning instead of blocking.
Many of the btree search callers now expect spinning paths,
resulting in better btree concurrency overall.

To avoid deadlocks and reduce latencies during some critical operations, some
transaction writers are allowed to jump into the running transaction and make
it run a little longer, while others sit around and wait for the commit to
finish.
This is a bit unfair, especially when the callers that jump in do a bunch
of IO that makes all the others procs on the box wait. This commit
reduces the stalls this produces by pre-reading file extent pointers
during btrfs_finish_ordered_io before the transaction is joined.
It also tunes the drop_snapshot code to politely wait for transactions
that have started writing out their delayed refs to finish. This avoids
new delayed refs being flooded into the queue while we're trying to
close off the transaction.

The delayed reference queue maintains pending operations that need to
be done to the extent allocation tree. These are processed by
finding records in the tree that are not currently being processed one at
a time.
This is slow because it uses lots of time searching through the rbtree
and because it creates lock contention on the extent allocation tree
when lots of different procs are running delayed refs at the same time.
This commit changes things to grab a cluster of refs for processing,
using a cursor into the rbtree as the starting point of the next search.
This way we walk smoothly through the rbtree.

Many of the tree balancing functions follow the same pattern.

Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
The extent allocation tree maintains a reference count and full
back reference information for every extent allocated in the
filesystem. For subvolume and snapshot trees, every time
a block goes through COW, the new copy of the block adds a reference
on every block it points to.
If a btree node points to 150 leaves, then the COW code needs to go
and add backrefs on 150 different extents, which might be spread all
over the extent allocation tree.
These updates currently happen during btrfs_cow_block, and most COWs
happen during btrfs_search_slot. btrfs_search_slot has locks held
on both the parent and the node we are COWing, and so we really want
to avoid IO during the COW if we can.
This commit adds an rbtree of pending reference count updates and extent
allocations. The tree is ordered by byte number of the extent and byte number
of the parent for the back reference. The tree allows us to:
1) Modify back references in something close to disk order, reducing seeks
2) Significantly reduce the number of modifications made as block pointers
are balanced around
3) Do all of the extent insertion and back reference modifications outside
of the performance critical btrfs_search_slot code.
#3 has the added benefit of greatly reducing the btrfs stack footprint.
The extent allocation tree modifications are done without the deep
(and somewhat recursive) call chains used in the past.
These delayed back reference updates must be done before the transaction
commits, and so the rbtree is tied to the transaction. Throttling is
implemented to help keep the queue of backrefs at a reasonable size.
Since there was a similar mechanism in place for the extent tree
extents, that is removed and replaced by the delayed reference tree.

This is a step in the direction of better -ENOSPC handling. Instead of

we return -ENOSPC. This patch adds two counters to btrfs_space_info,
bytes_delalloc and bytes_may_use.
bytes_delalloc account for extents we've actually setup for delalloc and will
be allocated at some point down the line.
bytes_may_use is to keep track of how many bytes we may use for delalloc at
some point. When we actually set the extent_bit for the delalloc bytes we
subtract the reserved bytes from the bytes_may_use counter. This keeps us from
not actually being able to allocate space for any delalloc bytes.

Btrfs is currently using spin_lock_nested with a nested value based
on the tree depth of the block. But, this doesn't quite work because
the max tree depth is bigger than what spin_lock_nested can deal with,
and because locks are sometimes taken before the level field is filled in.
The solution here is to use lockdep_set_class_and_name instead, and to
set the class before unlocking the pages when the block is read from the
disk and just after init of a freshly allocated tree block.
btrfs_clear_path_blocking is also changed to take the locks in the proper
order, and it also makes sure all the locks currently held are properly
set to blocking before it tries to retake the spinlocks. Otherwise, lockdep
gets upset about bad lock orderin.

Btrfs was using spin_is_contended to see if it should drop locks before

expensive searches in the tree unless the lock was actually contended.
But, spin_is_contended is specific to the ticket spinlocks on x86, so this

Every transaction in btrfs creates a new snapshot, and then schedules the
snapshot from the last transaction for deletion. Snapshot deletion
works by walking down the btree and dropping the reference counts
on each btree block during the walk.
If if a given leaf or node has a reference count greater than one,
the reference count is decremented and the subtree pointed to by that
node is ignored.
If the reference count is one, walking continues down into that node
or leaf, and the references of everything it points to are decremented.
The old code would try to work in small pieces, walking down the tree
until it found the lowest leaf or node to free and then returning. This
was very friendly to the rest of the FS because it didn't have a huge
impact on other operations.
But it wouldn't always keep up with the rate that new commits added new
snapshots for deletion, and it wasn't very optimal for the extent
allocation tree because it wasn't finding leaves that were close together
on disk and processing them at the same time.
This changes things to walk down to a level 1 node and then process it
in bulk. All the leaf pointers are sorted and the leaves are dropped
in order based on their extent number.
The extent allocation tree and commit code are now fast enough for
this kind of bulk processing to work without slowing the rest of the FS
down. Overall it does less IO and is better able to keep up with
snapshot deletions under high load.

Most of the btrfs metadata operations can be protected by a spinlock,
but some operations still need to schedule.
So far, btrfs has been using a mutex along with a trylock loop,
most of the time it is able to avoid going for the full mutex, so
the trylock loop is a big performance gain.
This commit is step one for getting rid of the blocking locks entirely.
btrfs_tree_lock takes a spinlock, and the code explicitly switches
to a blocking lock when it starts an operation that can schedule.
We'll be able get rid of the blocking locks in smaller pieces over time.
Tracing allows us to find the most common cause of blocking, so we
can start with the hot spots first.
The basic idea is:
btrfs_tree_lock() returns with the spin lock held
btrfs_set_lock_blocking() sets the EXTENT_BUFFER_BLOCKING bit in
the extent buffer flags, and then drops the spin lock. The buffer is
still considered locked by all of the btrfs code.
If btrfs_tree_lock gets the spinlock but finds the blocking bit set, it drops
the spin lock and waits on a wait queue for the blocking bit to go away.
Much of the code that needs to set the blocking bit finishes without actually
blocking a good percentage of the time. So, an adaptive spin is still
used against the blocking bit to avoid very high context switch rates.
btrfs_clear_lock_blocking() clears the blocking bit and returns
with the spinlock held again.
btrfs_tree_unlock() can be called on either blocking or spinning locks,
it does the right thing based on the blocking bit.
ctree.c has a helper function to set/clear all the locked buffers in a
path as blocking.

can be modified again.
This update was originally synchronized by using a per-fs spinlock. Today
the buffers for the metadata blocks are locked before writeout begins,
and everyone that tests the flag has the buffer locked as well.
So, the per-fs spinlock (called hash_lock for no good reason) is no
longer required.

extent_io.c has debugging code to report and free leaked extent_state
and extent_buffer objects at rmmod time. This helps track down
leaks and it saves you from rebooting just to properly remove the
kmem_cache object.
But, the code runs under a fairly expensive spinlock and the checks to
see if it is currently enabled are not entirely consistent. Some use
#ifdef and some #if.
This changes everything to #if and disables the leak checking.

When a block goes through cow, we update the reference counts of
everything that block points to. The internal pointers of the block
can be in just about any order, and it is likely to have clusters of

After btrfs_readdir has gone through all the directory items, it
sets the directory f_pos to the largest possible int. This way
applications that mix readdir with creating new files don't
end up in an endless loop finding the new directory items as they go.
It was a workaround for a bug in git, but the assumption was that if git
could make this looping mistake than it would be a common problem.
The largest possible int chosen was INT_LIMIT(typeof(file->f_pos),
and it is possible for that to be a larger number than 32 bit glibc
expects to come out of readdir.
This patches switches that to INT_LIMIT(off_t), which should keep
applications happy on 32 and 64 bit machines.

Signed-off-by: Yehuda Sadeh <yehuda@hq.newdream.net>
Swapfiles use bmap to build a list of extents belonging to the file,
and they assume these extents won't change over the life of the file.
They also use resulting list to do IO directly to the block device.
This causes problems for btrfs in a few ways:
btrfs returns logical block numbers through bmap, and these are not suitable
for IO. They might translate to different devices, raid etc.
COW means that file block mappings are going to change frequently.
Using swapfiles on btrfs will lead to corruption, so we're avoiding the
problem for now by dropping bmap support entirely. A later commit
will add fiemap support for people that really want to know how
a file is laid out.

To improve performance, btrfs_sync_log merges tree log sync
requests. But it wrongly merges sync requests for different
tree logs. If multiple tree logs are synced at the same time,
only one of them actually gets synced.
This patch has following changes to fix the bug:
Move most tree log related fields in btrfs_fs_info to
btrfs_root. This allows merging sync requests separately
for each tree log.
Don't insert root item into the log root tree immediately
after log tree is allocated. Root item for log tree is
inserted when log tree get synced for the first time. This
allows syncing the log root tree without first syncing all
log trees.
At tree-log sync, btrfs_sync_log first sync the log tree;
then updates corresponding root item in the log root tree;
sync the log root tree; then update the super block.

Btrfs maintains a queue of async bio submissions so the checksumming
threads don't have to wait on get_request_wait. In order to avoid
extra wakeups, this code has a running_pending flag that is used
to tell new submissions they don't need to wake the thread.
When the threads notice congestion on a single device, they
may decide to requeue the job and move on to other devices. This
makes sure the running_pending flag is cleared before the
job is requeued.
It should help avoid IO stalls by making sure the task is woken up
when new submissions come in.

Each subvolume has an extent_state_tree used to mark metadata

Normally this marking happens in btrfs_alloc_free_block, which also does

This is a patch to fix discard semantic to make Btrfs work with FTL and SSD.
We can improve FTL's performance by telling it which sectors are freed by file
system. But if we don't tell FTL the information of free sectors in proper
time, the transaction mechanism of Btrfs will be destroyed and Btrfs could not
roll back the previous transaction under the power loss condition.
There are some problems in the old implementation:
1, In __free_extent(), the pinned down extents should not be discarded.
2, In free_extents(), the free extents are all pinned, so they need to
be discarded in transaction committing time instead of free_extents().
3, The reserved extent used by log tree should be discard too.
This patch change discard behavior as follows:
1, For the extents which need to be free at once,
we discard them in update_block_group().
2, Delay discarding the pinned extent in btrfs_finish_extent_commit()
when committing transaction.
3, Remove discarding from free_extents() and __free_extent()
4, Add discard interface into btrfs_free_reserved_extent()
5, Discard sectors before updating the free space cache, otherwise,
FTL will destroy file system data.

Btrfs stores checksums for each data block. Until now, they have
been stored in the subvolume trees, indexed by the inode that is
referencing the data block. This means that when we read the inode,
we've probably read in at least some checksums as well.
But, this has a few problems:
* The checksums are indexed by logical offset in the file. When
compression is on, this means we have to do the expensive checksumming
on the uncompressed data. It would be faster if we could checksum
the compressed data instead.
* If we implement encryption, we'll be checksumming the plain text and
storing that on disk. This is significantly less secure.
* For either compression or encryption, we have to get the plain text
back before we can verify the checksum as correct. This makes the raid
layer balancing and extent moving much more expensive.
* It makes the front end caching code more complex, as we have touch
the subvolume and inodes as we cache extents.
* There is potentitally one copy of the checksum in each subvolume
referencing an extent.
The solution used here is to store the extent checksums in a dedicated
tree. This allows us to index the checksums by phyiscal extent
start and length. It means:
* The checksum is against the data stored on disk, after any compression
or encryption is done.
* The checksum is stored in a central location, and can be verified without
following back references, or reading inodes.
This makes compression significantly faster by reducing the amount of
data that needs to be checksummed. It will also allow much faster
raid management code in general.
The checksums are indexed by a key with a fixed objectid (a magic value
in ctree.h) and offset set to the starting byte of the extent. This
allows us to copy the checksum items into the fsync log tree directly (or
any other tree), without having to invent a second format for them.

This patch fixes what I hope is the last early ENOSPC bug left. I did not know
that pinned extents would merge into one big extent when inserted on to the

possibly span multiple block groups.
This is a big issue because first that space doesn't exist in that block group,

checks to make sure we're allocating within the constraints of the block group.

While building large bios in writepages, btrfs may end up waiting
for other page writeback to finish if WB_SYNC_ALL is used.
While it is waiting, the bio it is building has a number of pages with the
writeback bit set and they aren't getting to the disk any time soon. This
lowers the latencies of writeback in general by sending down the bio being
built before waiting for other pages.
The bio submission code tries to limit the total number of async bios in
flight by waiting when we're over a certain number of async bios. But,
the waits are happening while writepages is building bios, and this can easily
lead to stalls and other problems for people calling wait_on_page_writeback.
The current fix is to let the congestion tests take care of waiting.
sync() and others make sure to drain the current async requests to make
sure that everything that was pending when the sync was started really get
to disk. The code would drain pending requests both before and after
submitting a new request.
But, if one of the requests is waiting for page writeback to finish,
the draining waits might block that page writeback. This changes the
draining code to only wait after submitting the bio being processed.

Subvols and snapshots can now be referenced from any point in the directory
tree. We need to maintain back refs for them so we can find lost
subvols.
Forward refs are added so that we know all of the subvols and
snapshots referenced anywhere in the directory tree of a single subvol. This
can be used to do recursive snapshotting (but they aren't yet) and it is
also used to detect and prevent directory loops when creating new snapshots.

Each subvolume has its own private inode number space, and so we need
to fill in different device numbers for each subvolume to avoid confusing
applications.
This commit puts a struct super_block into struct btrfs_root so it can
call set_anon_super() and get a different device number generated for
each root.
btrfs_rename is changed to prevent renames across subvols.

Before, all snapshots and subvolumes lived in a single flat directory. This
was awkward and confusing because the single flat directory was only writable
with the ioctls.
This commit changes the ioctls to create subvols and snapshots at any
point in the directory tree. This requires making separate ioctls for
snapshot and subvol creation instead of a combining them into one.
The subvol ioctl does:
btrfsctl -S subvol_name parent_dir
After the ioctl is done subvol_name lives inside parent_dir.
The snapshot ioctl does:
btrfsctl -s path_for_snapshot root_to_snapshot
path_for_snapshot can be an absolute or relative path. btrfsctl breaks it up
into directory and basename components.
root_to_snapshot can be any file or directory in the FS. The snapshot
is taken of the entire root where that file lives.

In my batch delete/update/insert patch I introduced a free space leak. The
extent that we do the original search on in free_extents is never pinned, so we
always update the block saying that it has free space, but the free space never
actually gets added to the free space tree, since op->del will always be 0 and
it's never actually added to the pinned extents tree.
This patch fixes this problem by making sure we call pin_down_bytes on the
pending extent op and set op->del to the return value of pin_down_bytes so
update_block_group is called with the right value. This seems to fix the case
where we were getting ENOSPC when there was plenty of space available.

In worker_loop(), the func should check whether it has been requested to stop
before it decides to schedule out.
Otherwise if the stop request(also the last wake_up()) sent by
btrfs_stop_workers() happens when worker_loop() running after the "while"
judgement and before schedule(), woker_loop() will schedule away and never be
woken up, which will also cause btrfs_stop_workers() wait forever.

When extent needs to be split, btrfs_mark_extent_written truncates the extent
first, then inserts a new extent and increases the reference count.
The race happens if someone else deletes the old extent before the new extent
is inserted. The fix here is increase the reference count in advance. This race
is similar to the race in btrfs_drop_extents that was recently fixed.

Seed device is a special btrfs with SEEDING super flag
set and can only be mounted in read-only mode. Seed
devices allow people to create new btrfs on top of it.
The new FS contains the same contents as the seed device,
but it can be mounted in read-write mode.
This patch does the following:
1) split code in btrfs_alloc_chunk into two parts. The first part does makes
the newly allocated chunk usable, but does not do any operation that modifies
the chunk tree. The second part does the the chunk tree modifications. This
division is for the bootstrap step of adding storage to the seed device.
2) Update device management code to handle seed device.
The basic idea is: For an FS grown from seed devices, its
seed devices are put into a list. Seed devices are
opened on demand at mounting time. If any seed device is
missing or has been changed, btrfs kernel module will
refuse to mount the FS.
3) make btrfs_find_block_group not return NULL when all
block groups are read-only.

While profiling the allocator I noticed a good amount of time was being spent in
finish_current_insert and del_pending_extents, and as the filesystem filled up
more and more time was being spent in those functions. This patch aims to try
and reduce that problem. This happens two ways
1) track if we tried to delete an extent that we are going to update or insert.
Once we get into finish_current_insert we discard any of the extents that were
marked for deletion. This saves us from doing unnecessary work almost every
time finish_current_insert runs.
2) Batch insertion/updates/deletions. Instead of doing a btrfs_search_slot for
each individual extent and doing the needed operation, we instead keep the leaf
around and see if there is anything else we can do on that leaf. On the insert
case I introduced a btrfs_insert_some_items, which will take an array of keys
with an array of data_sizes and try and squeeze in as many of those keys as
possible, and then return how many keys it was able to insert. In the update
case we search for an extent ref, update the ref and then loop through the leaf
to see if any of the other refs we are looking to update are on that leaf, and
then once we are done we release the path and search for the next ref we need to
update. And finally for the deletion we try and delete the extent+ref in pairs,
so we will try to find extent+ref pairs next to the extent we are trying to free
and free them in bulk if possible.
This along with the other cluster fix that Chris pushed out a bit ago helps make
the allocator preform more uniformly as it fills up the disk. There is still a
slight drop as we fill up the disk since we start having to stick new blocks in
odd places which results in more COW's than on a empty fs, but the drop is not
nearly as severe as it was before.

This patch adds an additional CLONE_RANGE ioctl to clone an arbitrary
(block-aligned) file range to another file. The original CLONE ioctl
becomes a special case of cloning the entire file range. The logic is a
bit more complex now since ranges may be cloned to different offsets, and
because we may only be cloning the beginning or end of a particular extent
or checksum item.
An additional sanity check ensures the source and destination files aren't
the same (which would previously deadlock), although eventually this could
be extended to allow the duplication of file data at a different offset
within the same file.
Any extents within the destination range in the target file are dropped.
We currently do not cope with the case where a compressed inline extent
needs to be split. This will probably require decompressing the extent
into a temporary address_space, and inserting just the cloned portion as a
new compressed inline extent. For now, just return -EINVAL in this case.
Note that this never comes up in the more common case of cloning an entire
file.

This fixes latency problems on metadata reads by making sure they
don't go through the async submit queue, and by tuning down the amount
of readahead done during btree searches.
Also, the btrfs bdi congestion function is tuned to ignore the

code that throttles new async bios now and the congestion function

btrfs_drop_extents will drop paths and search again when it needs to
force COW of higher nodes. It was using the key it found during the last
search as the offset for the next search.
But, this wasn't always correct. The key could be from before our desired
range, and because we're dropping the path, it is possible for file's items
to change while we do the search again.
The fix here is to make sure we don't search for something smaller than
the offset btrfs_drop_extents was called with.

The allocator wasn't catching all of the cases where it needed to do
extra loops because the check to enforce them wasn't happening early
enough.
When the allocator decided to increase the size of the allocation

include the extra (optional) bytes. This also fixes the empty_size field

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

This allows us to avoid problems inserting overlapping extents.

While doing a commit, btrfs makes sure all the metadata blocks
were properly written to disk, calling wait_on_page_writeback for
each page. This writeback happens after allowing another transaction
to start, so it competes for the disk with other processes in the FS.
If the page writeback bit is still set, each wait_on_page_writeback might
trigger an unplug, even though the page might be waiting for checksumming
to finish or might be waiting for the async work queue to submit the
bio.
This trades wait_on_page_writeback for waiting on the extent writeback
bits. It won't trigger any unplugs and substantially improves performance
in a number of workloads.
This also changes the async bio submission to avoid requeueing if there
is only one device. The requeue just wastes CPU time because there are
no other devices to service.

When writing a compressed extent, a number of bios are created that
point to a single struct compressed_bio. At end_io time an atomic counter in
the compressed_bio struct makes sure that all of the bios have finished
before final end_io processing is done.
But when multiple bios are needed to write a compressed extent, the
counter was being incremented after the first bio was sent to submit_bio.
It is possible the bio will complete before the counter is incremented,
making the end_io handler free the compressed_bio struct before
processing is finished.
The fix is to increment the atomic counter before bio submission,
both for compressed reads and writes.

When reading compressed extents, try to put pages into the page cache
for any pages covered by the compressed extent that readpages didn't already
preload.
Add an async work queue to handle transformations at delayed allocation processing
time. Right now this is just compression. The workflow is:
1) Find offsets in the file marked for delayed allocation
2) Lock the pages
3) Lock the state bits
4) Call the async delalloc code
The async delalloc code clears the state lock bits and delalloc bits. It is
important this happens before the range goes into the work queue because
otherwise it might deadlock with other work queue items that try to lock
those extent bits.
The file pages are compressed, and if the compression doesn't work the
pages are written back directly.
An ordered work queue is used to make sure the inodes are written in the same
order that pdflush or writepages sent them down.
This changes extent_write_cache_pages to let the writepage function
update the wbc nr_written count.

Btrfs uses kernel threads to create async work queues for cpu intensive
operations such as checksumming and decompression. These work well,
but they make it difficult to keep IO order intact.
A single writepages call from pdflush or fsync will turn into a number
of bios, and each bio is checksummed in parallel. Once the checksum is
computed, the bio is sent down to the disk, and since we don't control
the order in which the parallel operations happen, they might go down to
the disk in almost any order.
The code deals with this somewhat by having deep work queues for a single
kernel thread, making it very likely that a single thread will process all
the bios for a single inode.
This patch introduces an explicitly ordered work queue. As work structs
are placed into the queue they are put onto the tail of a list. They have
three callbacks:
->func (cpu intensive processing here)
->ordered_func (order sensitive processing here)
->ordered_free (free the work struct, all processing is done)
The work struct has three callbacks. The func callback does the cpu intensive
work, and when it completes the work struct is marked as done.
Every time a work struct completes, the list is checked to see if the head
is marked as done. If so the ordered_func callback is used to do the
order sensitive processing and the ordered_free callback is used to do
any cleanup. Then we loop back and check the head of the list again.
This patch also changes the checksumming code to use the ordered workqueues.
One a 4 drive array, it increases streaming writes from 280MB/s to 350MB/s.
