      Btrfs: Add inode sequence number for NFS and reserved space in a few structs · c3027eb5
      Chris Mason authored
      This adds a sequence number to the btrfs inode that is increased on
      every update.  NFS will be able to use that to detect when an inode has
      changed, without relying on inaccurate time fields.
      
      While we're here, this also:
      
      Puts reserved space into the super block and inode
      
      Adds a log root transid to the super so we can pick the newest super
      based on the fsync log as well as the main transaction ID.  For now
      the log root transid is always zero, but that'll get fixed.
      
      Adds a starting offset to the dev_item.  This will let us do better
      alignment calculations if we know the start of a partition on the disk.

      Btrfs: Use map_private_extent_buffer during generic_bin_search · 934d375b
      Chris Mason authored
      It is possible that generic_bin_search will be called on a tree block
      that has not been locked.  This happens because cache_block_block skips
      locking on the tree blocks.
      
      Since the tree block isn't locked, we aren't allowed to change
      the extent_buffer->map_token field.  Using map_private_extent_buffer
      avoids any changes to the internal extent buffer fields.

      Btrfs: superblock duplication · a512bbf8
      Yan Zheng authored
      This patch implements superblock duplication. Superblocks
      are stored at offset 16K, 64M and 256G on every devices.
      Spaces used by superblocks are preserved by the allocator,
      which uses a reverse mapping function to find the logical
      addresses that correspond to superblocks. Thank you,

      Btrfs: move data checksumming into a dedicated tree · d20f7043
      Chris Mason authored
      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.

      Btrfs: fix free space accounting when unpinning extents · 07103a3c
      Josef Bacik authored
      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
      pinned extent tree, so I was adding free space to a block group that could
      possibly span multiple block groups.
      
      This is a big issue because first that space doesn't exist in that block group,
      and second we won't actually use that space because there are a bunch of other
      checks to make sure we're allocating within the constraints of the block group.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by adding the btrfs_add_free_space to
      btrfs_update_pinned_extents which makes sure we are adding the appropriate
      amount of free space to the appropriate block group.  Thanks much to Lee Trager
      for running my myriad of debug patches to help me track this problem down.

      Btrfs: Do fsync log replay when mount -o ro, except when on readonly media · 7c2ca468
      Chris Mason authored
      fsync log replay can change the filesystem, so it cannot be delayed until
      mount -o rw,remount, and it can't be forgotten entirely.  So, this patch
      changes btrfs to do with reiserfs, ext3 and xfs do, which is to do the
      log replay even when mounted readonly.
      
      On a readonly device if log replay is required, the mount is aborted.
      
      Getting all of this right had required fixing up some of the error
      handling in open_ctree.

      Btrfs: Avoid writeback stalls · d2c3f4f6
      Chris Mason authored
      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.
