      Btrfs: hash_lock is no longer needed · c487685d
      Chris Mason authored 
      Before metadata is written to disk, it is updated to reflect that writeout
has begun.  Once this update is done, the block must be cow'd before it
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.

      Btrfs: disable leak debugging checks in extent_io.c · 3935127c
      Chris Mason authored 
      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.

      Btrfs: sort references by byte number during btrfs_inc_ref · b7a9f29f
      Chris Mason authored 
      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
things that are close together and clusters of things that are not.

To help reduce the seeks that come with updating all of these reference
counts, sort them by byte number before actual updates are done.

      Btrfs: async threads should try harder to find work · b51912c9
      Chris Mason authored 
      Tracing shows the delay between when an async thread goes to sleep
and when more work is added is often very short.  This commit adds
a little bit of delay and extra checking to the code right before
we schedule out.

It allows more work to be added to the worker
without requiring notifications from other procs.

      Btrfs: make btrfs acls selectable · bef62ef3
      Christian Hesse authored 
      This patch adds a menu entry to kconfig to enable acls for btrfs.
This allows you to enable FS_POSIX_ACL at kernel compile time.

(updated by Jeff Mahoney to make the changes in fs/btrfs/Kconfig instead)

      Chris Mason authored 
      The async bio submission thread was missing some bios that were
added after it had decided there was no work left to do.

      Btrfs: fix readdir on 32 bit machines · 89f135d8
      Chris Mason authored 
      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.
