      Btrfs: reduce worker thread spin_lock_irq hold times · 4f878e84
      Chris Mason authored
      This changes the btrfs worker threads to batch work items
      into a local list.  It allows us to pull work items in
      large chunks and significantly reduces the number of times we
      need to take the worker thread spinlock.

      Btrfs: keep irqs on more often in the worker threads · 4e3f9c50
      Chris Mason authored
      The btrfs worker thread spinlock was being used both for the
      queueing of IO and for the processing of ordered events.
      
      The ordered events never happen from end_io handlers, and so they
      don't need to use the _irq version of spinlocks.  This adds a
      dedicated lock to the ordered lists so they don't have to run
      with irqs off.

      Btrfs: optimize set extent bit · 40431d6c
      Chris Mason authored
      The Btrfs set_extent_bit call currently searches the rbtree
      every time it needs to find more extent_state objects to fill
      the requested operation.
      
      This adds a simple test with rb_next to see if the next object
      in the tree was adjacent to the one we just found.  If so,
      we skip the search and just use the next object.

      Btrfs: Allow worker threads to exit when idle · 9042846b
      Chris Mason authored
      The Btrfs worker threads don't currently die off after they have
      been idle for a while, leading to a lot of threads sitting around
      doing nothing for each mount.
      
      Also, they are unable to start atomically (from end_io hanlders).
      
      This commit reworks the worker threads so they can be started
      from end_io handlers (just setting a flag that asks for a thread
      to be added at a later date) and so they can exit if they
      have been idle for a long time.

      Btrfs: make sure the async caching thread advances the key · 013f1b12
      Chris Mason authored
      The async caching thread can end up looping forever if a given
      search puts it at the last key in a leaf.  It will end up calling
      btrfs_next_leaf and then checking if it needs to politely drop
      the read semaphore.
      
      Most of the time this looping isn't noticed because it is able to
      make progress the next time around.  But, during log replay,
      we wait on the async caching thread to finish, and the async thread
      is waiting on the commit, and no progress is really made.
      
      The fix used here is to copy the key out of the next leaf,
      that way our search lands there properly.

      Btrfs: fix btrfs_remove_from_free_space corner case · 6606bb97
      Josef Bacik authored
      Yan Zheng hit a problem where we tried to remove some free space but failed
      because we couldn't find the free space entry.  This is because the free space
      was held within a bitmap that had a starting offset well before the actual
      offset of the free space, and there were free space extents that were in the
      same range as that offset, so tree_search_offset returned with NULL because we
      couldn't find a free space extent that had that offset.  This is fixed by
      making sure that if we fail to find the entry, we re-search again with
      bitmap_only set to 1 and do an offset_to_bitmap so we can get the appropriate
      bitmap.  A similar problem happens in btrfs_alloc_from_bitmap for the
      clustering code, but that is not as bad since we will just go and redo our
      cluster allocation.
      
      Also this adds some debugging checks to make sure that the free space we are
      trying to remove from the bitmap is in fact there.  This can probably go away
      after a while, but since this code is only used by the tree-logging stuff it
      would be nice to run with it for a while to make sure there are no problems.

      Btrfs: preserve commit_root for async caching · 276e680d
      Yan Zheng authored
      The async block group caching code uses the commit_root pointer
      to get a stable version of the extent allocation tree for scanning.
      This copy of the tree root isn't going to change and it significantly
      reduces the complexity of the scanning code.
      
      During a commit, we have a loop where we update the extent allocation
      tree root.  We need to loop because updating the root pointer in
      the tree of tree roots may allocate blocks which may change the
      extent allocation tree.
      
      Right now the commit_root pointer is changed inside this loop.  It
      is more correct to change the commit_root pointer only after all the
      looping is done.

      Btrfs: change how we unpin extents · 68b38550
      Josef Bacik authored
      We are racy with async block caching and unpinning extents.  This patch makes
      things much less complicated by only unpinning the extent if the block group is
      cached.  We check the block_group->cached var under the block_group->lock spin
      lock.  If it is set to BTRFS_CACHE_FINISHED then we update the pinned counters,
      and unpin the extent and add the free space back.  If it is not set to this, we
      start the caching of the block group so the next time we unpin extents we can
      unpin the extent.  This keeps us from racing with the async caching threads,
      lets us kill the fs wide async thread counter, and keeps us from having to set
      DELALLOC bits for every extent we hit if there are caching kthreads going.
      
      One thing that needed to be changed was btrfs_free_super_mirror_extents.  Now
      instead of just looking for LOCKED extents, we also look for DIRTY extents,
      since we could have left some extents pinned in the previous transaction that
      will never get freed now that we are unmounting, which would cause us to leak
      memory.  So btrfs_free_super_mirror_extents has been changed to
      btrfs_free_pinned_extents, and it will clear the extents locked for the super
      mirror, and any remaining pinned extents that may be present.  Thank you,

      Btrfs: find smallest available device extent during chunk allocation · 9779b72f
      Chris Mason authored
      Allocating new block group is easy when the disk has plenty of space.
      But things get difficult as the disk fills up, especially if
      the FS has been run through btrfs-vol -b.  The balance operation
      is likely to make the total bytes available on the device greater
      than the largest extent we'll actually be able to allocate.
      
      But the device extent allocation code incorrectly assumes that a device
      with 5G free will be able to allocate a 5G extent.  It isn't normally a
      problem because device extents don't get freed unless btrfs-vol -b
      is run.
      
      This fixes the device extent allocator to remember the largest free
      extent it can find, and then uses that value as a fallback.

      Btrfs: clear all space_info->full after removing a block group · 283bb197
      Chris Mason authored
      Btrfs allocates individual extents from block groups, and each
      block group has a specific type.  It may hold metadata, data
      mirrored or striped etc.
      
      When we balance space (btrfs-vol -b) or remove a drive (btrfs-vol -r)
      we free block groups.  Once a block group is freed, the space it was
      using on the device may be available for use by new block groups.
      
      btrfs_remove_block_group was clearing the flag that said
      'our devices are full, don't even try to allocate new block groups',
      but it was only clearing that flag for a specific type of block group.
      
      This commit clears the full flag for all of the types of block groups,
      making it much more likely that we'll be able to balance space when
      the drive is close to full.

      Btrfs: make flushoncommit mount option correctly wait on ordered_extents · ebecd3d9
      Sage Weil authored
      The commit_transaction call to wait_ordered_extents when snap_pending
      passes nocow_only=1 to process only NOCOW or PREALLOC extents.  This isn't
      correct for the 'flushoncommit' mode, as it skips extents we just started
      IO on in start_delalloc_inodes.
      
      So, in the flushoncommit case, wait on all ordered extents.  Otherwise,
      only pass the nocow_only flag to wait_ordered_extents if snap_pending.

      btrfs_split_leaf and btrfs_del_items can end up in a loop

      Btrfs: async block group caching · 817d52f8
      Josef Bacik authored
      This patch moves the caching of the block group off to a kthread in order to
      allow people to allocate sooner.  Instead of blocking up behind the caching
      mutex, we instead kick of the caching kthread, and then attempt to make an
      allocation.  If we cannot, we wait on the block groups caching waitqueue, which
      the caching kthread will wake the waiting threads up everytime it finds 2 meg
      worth of space, and then again when its finished caching.  This is how I tested
      the speedup from this
      
      mkfs the disk
      mount the disk
      fill the disk up with fs_mark
      unmount the disk
      mount the disk
      time touch /mnt/foo
      
      Without my changes this took 11 seconds on my box, with these changes it now
      takes 1 second.
      
      Another change thats been put in place is we lock the super mirror's in the
      pinned extent map in order to keep us from adding that stuff as free space when
      caching the block group.  This doesn't really change anything else as far as the
      pinned extent map is concerned, since for actual pinned extents we use
      EXTENT_DIRTY, but it does mean that when we unmount we have to go in and unlock
      those extents to keep from leaking memory.
      
      I've also added a check where when we are reading block groups from disk, if the
      amount of space used == the size of the block group, we go ahead and mark the
      block group as cached.  This drastically reduces the amount of time it takes to
      cache the block groups.  Using the same test as above, except doing a dd to a
      file and then unmounting, it used to take 33 seconds to umount, now it takes 3
      seconds.
      
      This version uses the commit_root in the caching kthread, and then keeps track
      of how many async caching threads are running at any given time so if one of the
      async threads is still running as we cross transactions we can wait until its
      finished before handling the pinned extents.  Thank you,

      Btrfs: use hybrid extents+bitmap rb tree for free space · 96303081
      Josef Bacik authored
      Currently btrfs has a problem where it can use a ridiculous amount of RAM simply
      tracking free space.  As free space gets fragmented, we end up with thousands of
      entries on an rb-tree per block group, which usually spans 1 gig of area.  Since
      we currently don't ever flush free space cache back to disk this gets to be a
      bit unweildly on large fs's with lots of fragmentation.
      
      This patch solves this problem by using PAGE_SIZE bitmaps for parts of the free
      space cache.  Initially we calculate a threshold of extent entries we can
      handle, which is however many extent entries we can cram into 16k of ram.  The
      maximum amount of RAM that should ever be used to track 1 gigabyte of diskspace
      will be 32k of RAM, which scales much better than we did before.
      
      Once we pass the extent threshold, we start adding bitmaps and using those
      instead for tracking the free space.  This patch also makes it so that any free
      space thats less than 4 * sectorsize we go ahead and put into a bitmap.  This is
      nice since we try and allocate out of the front of a block group, so if the
      front of a block group is heavily fragmented and then has a huge chunk of free
      space at the end, we go ahead and add the fragmented areas to bitmaps and use a
      normal extent entry to track the big chunk at the back of the block group.
      
      I've also taken the opportunity to revamp how we search for free space.
      Previously we indexed free space via an offset indexed rb tree and a bytes
      indexed rb tree.  I've dropped the bytes indexed rb tree and use only the offset
      indexed rb tree.  This cuts the number of tree operations we were doing
      previously down by half, and gives us a little bit of a better allocation
      pattern since we will always start from a specific offset and search forward
      from there, instead of searching for the size we need and try and get it as
      close as possible to the offset we want.
      
      I've given this a healthy amount of testing pre-new format stuff, as well as
      post-new format stuff.  I've booted up my fedora box which is installed on btrfs
      with this patch and ran with it for a few days without issues.  I've not seen
      any performance regressions in any of my tests.
      
      Since the last patch Yan Zheng fixed a problem where we could have overlapping
      entries, so updating their offset inline would cause problems.  Thanks,
