      Btrfs: change how subvolumes are organized · 4df27c4d
      Yan, Zheng authored
      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.

      Btrfs: do not reuse objectid of deleted snapshot/subvol · 13a8a7c8
      Yan, Zheng authored
      The new back reference format does not allow reusing objectid of
      deleted snapshot/subvol. So we use ++highest_objectid to allocate
      objectid for new snapshot/subvol.
      
      Now we use ++highest_objectid to allocate objectid for both new inode
      and new snapshot/subvolume, so this patch removes 'find hole' code in
      btrfs_find_free_objectid.

      Btrfs: speed up snapshot dropping · 1c4850e2
      Yan, Zheng authored
      This patch contains two changes to avoid unnecessary tree block reads during
      snapshot dropping.
      
      First, check tree block's reference count and flags before reading the tree
      block. if reference count > 1 and there is no need to update backrefs, we can
      avoid reading the tree block.
      
      Second, save when snapshot was created in root_key.offset. we can compare block
      pointer's generation with snapshot's creation generation during updating
      backrefs. If a given block was created before snapshot was created, the
      snapshot can't be the tree block's owner. So we can avoid reading the block.

      Btrfs: search for an allocation hint while filling file COW · b917b7c3
      Chris Mason authored
      The allocator has some nice knobs for sending hints about where
      to try and allocate new blocks, but when we're doing file allocations

      Btrfs: properly honor wbc->nr_to_write changes · f85d7d6c
      Chris Mason authored
      When btrfs fills a delayed allocation, it tries to increase
      the wbc nr_to_write to cover a big part of allocation.  The
      theory is that we're doing contiguous IO and writing a few
      more blocks will save seeks overall at a very low cost.
      
      The problem is that extent_write_cache_pages could ignore
      the new higher nr_to_write if nr_to_write had already gone
      down to zero.  We fix that by rechecking the nr_to_write
      for every page that is processed in the pagevec.
      
      This updates the math around bumping the nr_to_write value
      to make sure we don't leave a tiny amount of IO hanging
      around for the very end of a new extent.

      Btrfs: improve async block group caching · 11833d66
      Yan Zheng authored
      This patch gets rid of two limitations of async block group caching.
      The old code delays handling pinned extents when block group is in
      caching. To allocate logged file extents, the old code need wait
      until block group is fully cached. To get rid of the limitations,
      This patch introduces a data structure to track the progress of
      caching. Base on the caching progress, we know which extents should
      be added to the free space cache when handling the pinned extents.
      The logged file extents are also handled in a similar way.
      
      This patch also changes how pinned extents are tracked. The old
      code uses one tree to track pinned extents, and copy the pinned
      extents tree at transaction commit time. This patch makes it use
      two trees to track pinned extents. One tree for extents that are
      pinned in the running transaction, one tree for extents that can
      be unpinned. At transaction commit time, we swap the two trees.

      Btrfs: zero page past end of inline file items · 93c82d57
      Chris Mason authored
      When btrfs_get_extent is reading inline file items for readpage,
      it needs to copy the inline extent into the page.  If the
      inline extent doesn't cover all of the page, that means there
      is a hole in the file, or that our file is smaller than one
      page.
      
      readpage does zeroing for the case where the file is smaller than one
      page, but nobody is currently zeroing for the case where there is
      a hole after the inline item.
      
      This commit changes btrfs_get_extent to zero fill the page past
      the end of the inline item.

      Btrfs: Fix extent replacment race · a1ed835e
      Chris Mason authored
      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.

      Btrfs: Use PagePrivate2 to track pages in the data=ordered code. · 8b62b72b
      Chris Mason authored
      Btrfs writes go through delalloc to the data=ordered code.  This
      makes sure that all of the data is on disk before the metadata
      that references it.  The tracking means that we have to make sure
      each page in an extent is fully written before we add that extent into
      the on-disk btree.
      
      This was done in the past by setting the EXTENT_ORDERED bit for the
      range of an extent when it was added to the data=ordered code, and then
      clearing the EXTENT_ORDERED bit in the extent state tree as each page
      finished IO.
      
      One of the reasons we had to do this was because sometimes pages are
      magically dirtied without page_mkwrite being called.  The EXTENT_ORDERED
      bit is checked at writepage time, and if it isn't there, our page become
      dirty without going through the proper path.
      
      These bit operations make for a number of rbtree searches for each page,
      and can cause considerable lock contention.
      
      This commit switches from the EXTENT_ORDERED bit to use PagePrivate2.
      As pages go into the ordered code, PagePrivate2 is set on each one.
      This is a cheap operation because we already have all the pages locked
      and ready to go.
      
      As IO finishes, the PagePrivate2 bit is cleared and the ordered
      accoutning is updated for each page.
      
      At writepage time, if the PagePrivate2 bit is missing, we go into the
      writepage fixup code to handle improperly dirtied pages.

      Btrfs: cache values for locking extents · 2c64c53d
      Chris Mason authored
      Many of the btrfs extent state tree users follow the same pattern.
      They lock an extent range in the tree, do some operation and then
      unlock.
      
      This translates to at least 2 rbtree searches, and maybe more if they
      are doing operations on the extent state tree.  A locked extent
      in the tree isn't going to be merged or changed, and so we can
      safely return the extent state structure as a cached handle.
      
      This changes set_extent_bit to give back a cached handle, and also
      changes both set_extent_bit and clear_extent_bit to use the cached
      handle if it is available.

      Btrfs: reduce CPU usage in the extent_state tree · 1edbb734
      Chris Mason authored
      Btrfs is currently mirroring some of the page state bits into
      its extent state tree.  The goal behind this was to use it in supporting
      blocksizes other than the page size.
      
      But, we don't currently support that, and we're using quite a lot of CPU
      on the rb tree and its spin lock.  This commit starts a series of
      cleanups to reduce the amount of work done in the extent state tree as
      part of each IO.
      
      This commit:
      
      * Adds the ability to lock an extent in the state tree and also set
      other bits.  The idea is to do locking and delalloc in one call
      
      * Removes the EXTENT_WRITEBACK and EXTENT_DIRTY bits.  Btrfs is using
      a combination of the page bits and the ordered write code for this
      instead.

      Btrfs: Fix new state initialization order · e48c465b
      Chris Mason authored
      As the extent state tree is manipulated, there are call backs
      that are used to take extra actions when different state bits are set
      or cleared.  One example of this is a counter for the total number
      of delayed allocation bytes in a single inode and in the whole FS.
      
      When new states are inserted, this callback is being done before we
      properly setup the new state.  This hasn't caused problems before
      because the lock bit was always done first, and the existing call backs
      don't care about the lock bit.
      
      This patch makes sure the state is properly setup before using the
      callback, which is important for later optimizations that do more work
      without using the lock bit.

      Btrfs: tweak congestion backoff · 57fd5a5f
      Chris Mason authored
      The btrfs io submission thread tries to back off congested devices in
      favor of rotating off to another disk.
      
      But, it tries to make sure it submits at least some IO before rotating
      on (the others may be congested too), and so it has a magic number of
      requests it tries to write before it hops.
      
      This makes the magic number smaller.  Testing shows that we're spending

      i915: disable interrupts before tearing down GEM state · e6890f6f

      Reinette Chatre reports a frozen system (with blinking keyboard LEDs)
      when switching from graphics mode to the text console, or when
      suspending (which does the same thing). With netconsole, the oops
      turned out to be
      
      	BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000084
      	IP: [<ffffffffa03ecaab>] i915_driver_irq_handler+0x26b/0xd20 [i915]
      
      and it's due to the i915_gem.c code doing drm_irq_uninstall() after
      having done i915_gem_idle(). And the i915_gem_idle() path will do
      
        i915_gem_idle() ->
          i915_gem_cleanup_ringbuffer() ->
            i915_gem_cleanup_hws() ->
              dev_priv->hw_status_page = NULL;
      
      but if an i915 interrupt comes in after this stage, it may want to
      access that hw_status_page, and gets the above NULL pointer dereference.
      
      And since the NULL pointer dereference happens from within an interrupt,
      and with the screen still in graphics mode, the common end result is
      simply a silently hung machine.
      
      Fix it by simply uninstalling the irq handler before idling rather than
      after. Fixes

      38bddf04 gianfar: gfar_remove needs to call unregister_netdev()
      
      breaks the build of the gianfar driver because "dev" is undefined in
      this function. To quickly test rc9 I changed this to priv->ndev but I do
      not know if this is the correct one.
