This patch changes a few things. Hopefully the comments are helpfull, but I'll try and be as verbose here. Problem: My fedora box was taking 1 minute and 21 seconds to boot with btrfs as root. Part of this problem was we pick the first block group we can find and start caching it, even if it may not have enough free space. The other problem is we only search for cached block groups the first time around, which we won't find any cached block groups because this is a newly mounted fs, so we end up caching several block groups during bootup, which with alot of fragmentation takes around 30-45 seconds to complete, which bogs down the system. So Solution: 1) Don't cache block groups willy-nilly at first. Instead try and figure out which block group has the most free, and therefore will take the least amount of time to cache. 2) Don't be so picky about cached block groups. The other problem is once we've filled up a cluster, if the block group isn't finished caching the next time we try and do the allocation we'll completely ignore the cluster and start searching from the beginning of the space, which makes us cache more block groups, which slows us down even more. So instead of skipping block groups that are not finished caching when we have a hint, only skip the block group if it hasn't started caching yet. There is one other tweak in here. Before if we allocated a chunk and still couldn't find new space, we'd end up switching the space info to force another chunk allocation. This could make us end up with way too many chunks, so keep track of this particular case. With this patch and my previous cluster fixes my fedora box now boots in 43 seconds, and according to the bootchart is not held up by our block group caching at all. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes a problem where max_size can be set to 0 even though we filled the cluster properly. We set max_size to 0 if we restart the cluster window, but if the new start entry is big enough to be our new cluster then we could return with a max_size set to 0, which will mean the next time we try to allocate from this cluster it will fail. So set max_extent to the entry's size. Tested this on my box and now we actually allocate from the cluster after we fill it. Thanks, Signed-off-by:

We use journal_info to tell if we're in a nested transaction to make sure we don't commit the transaction within a nested transaction. We use another method to see if there are any outstanding ioctl trans handles, so if we're starting one do not set current->journal_info, since it will screw with other filesystems. This patch also cleans up the starting stuff so there aren't any magic numbers. Signed-off-by:

Sometimes our start allocation hint when we cow a file can be either EXTENT_HOLE or some other such place holder, which is not optimal. So if we find that our em->block_start is one of these special values, check to see where the first block of the inode is stored, and use that as a hint. If that block is also a special value, just fallback on a hint of 0 and let the allocator figure out a good place to put the data. Signed-off-by:

We have an optimization in btrfs to allow blocks to be immediately freed if they were allocated in this transaction and never written. Otherwise they are pinned and freed when the transaction commits. This isn't optimal for discard mode because immediately freeing them means immediately discarding them. It is better to give the block to the pinning code and letting the (slow) discard happen later. Signed-off-by: -

Syncing the tree log is a 3 phase operation. 1) write and wait for all the tree log blocks for a given root. 2) write and wait for all the tree log blocks for the tree of tree log roots. 3) write and wait for the super blocks (barriers here) This isn't as efficient as it could be because there is no requirement to wait for the blocks from step one to hit the disk before we start writing the blocks from step two. This commit changes the sequence so that we don't start waiting until all the tree blocks from both steps one and two have been sent to disk. We do this by breaking up btrfs_write_wait_marked_extents into two functions, which is trivial because it was already broken up into two parts. Signed-off-by: -

rpm has a habit of running fdatasync when the file hasn't changed. We already detect if a file hasn't been changed in the current transaction but it might have been sent to the tree-log in this transaction and not changed since the last call to fsync. In this case, we want to avoid a tree log sync, which includes a number of synchronous writes and barriers. This commit extends the existing tracking of the last transaction to change a file to also track the last sub-transaction. The end result is that rpm -ivh and -Uvh are roughly twice as fast, and on par with ext3. Signed-off-by: -

During a tree-log commit for fsync, we've been writing at least two copies of the super block and forcing them to disk. The other filesystems write only one, and this change brings us on par with them. A full transaction commit will write all the super copies, so we still have redundant info written on a regular basis. Signed-off-by:

The file clone ioctl was incorrectly taking the offset into the extent on disk into account when calculating the length of the cloned extent. The length never changes based on the offset into the physical extent. Test case: fallocate -l 1g image mke2fs image bcp image image2 e2fsck -f image2 (errors on image2) The math bug ends up wrapping the length of the extent, and things go wrong from there.

This patch optimizes the tree logging stuff so it doesn't always wait 1 jiffie for new people to join the logging transaction if there is only ever 1 writer. This helps a little bit with latency where we have something like RPM where it will fdatasync every file it writes, and so waiting the 1 jiffie for every fdatasync really starts to add up.

This patch moves the delalloc flushing that occurs when we are under space pressure off to a async thread pool. This helps since we only free up metadata space when we actually insert the extent item, which means it takes quite a while for space to be free'ed up if we wait on all ordered extents. However, if space is freed up due to inline extents being inserted, we can wake people who are waiting up early, and they can finish their work. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes an issue with the delalloc metadata space reservation code. The problem is we used to free the reservation as soon as we allocated the delalloc region. The problem with this is if we are not inserting an inline extent, we don't actually insert the extent item until after the ordered extent is written out. This patch does 3 things, 1) It moves the reservation clearing stuff into the ordered code, so when we remove the ordered extent we remove the reservation. 2) It adds a EXTENT_DO_ACCOUNTING flag that gets passed when we clear delalloc bits in the cases where we want to clear the metadata reservation when we clear the delalloc extent, in the case that we do an inline extent or we invalidate the page. 3) It adds another waitqueue to the space info so that when we start a fs wide delalloc flush, anybody else who also hits that area will simply wait for the flush to finish and then try to make their allocation. This has been tested thoroughly to make sure we did not regress on performance. Signed-off-by:

When compression is on, the cow_file_range code is farmed off to worker threads. This allows us to do significant CPU work in parallel on SMP machines. But it is a delicate balance around when we clear flags and how. In the past we cleared the delalloc flag immediately, which was safe because the pages stayed locked. But this is causing problems with the newest ENOSPC code, and with the recent extent state cleanups we can now clear the delalloc bit at the same time the uncompressed code does. Signed-off-by: -

Like the cluster allocating stuff, we can lockup the box with the normal allocation path. This happens when we 1) Start to cache a block group that is severely fragmented, but has a decent amount of free space. 2) Start to commit a transaction 3) Have the commit try and empty out some of the delalloc inodes with extents that are relatively large. The inodes will not be able to make the allocations because they will ask for allocations larger than a contiguous area in the free space cache. So we will wait for more progress to be made on the block group, but since we're in a commit the caching kthread won't make any more progress and it already has enough free space that wait_block_group_cache_progress will just return. So, if we wait and fail to make the allocation the next time around, just loop and go to the next block group. This keeps us from getting stuck in a softlockup. Thanks, Signed-off-by:

The btrfs async worker threads are used for a wide variety of things, including processing bio end_io functions. This means that when the endio threads aren't running, the rest of the FS isn't able to do the final processing required to clear PageWriteback. The endio threads also try to exit as they become idle and start more as the work piles up. The problem is that starting more threads means kthreadd may need to allocate ram, and that allocation may wait until the global number of writeback pages on the system is below a certain limit. The result of that throttling is that end IO threads wait on kthreadd, who is waiting on IO to end, which will never happen. This commit fixes the deadlock by handing off thread startup to a dedicated thread. It also fixes a bug where the on-demand thread creation was creating far too many threads because it didn't take into account threads being started by other procs. Signed-off-by:

There is a problem where page_mkwrite can be called on a dirtied page that already has a delalloc range associated with it. The fix is to clear any delalloc bits for the range we are dirtying so the space accounting gets handled properly. This is the same thing we do in the normal write case, so we are consistent across the board. With this patch we no longer leak reserved space. Signed-off-by:

At the start of a transaction we do a btrfs_reserve_metadata_space() and specify how many items we plan on modifying. Then once we've done our modifications and such, just call btrfs_unreserve_metadata_space() for the same number of items we reserved. For keeping track of metadata needed for data I've had to add an extent_io op for when we merge extents. This lets us track space properly when we are doing sequential writes, so we don't end up reserving way more metadata space than what we need. The only place where the metadata space accounting is not done is in the relocation code. This is because Yan is going to be reworking that code in the near future, so running btrfs-vol -b could still possibly result in a ENOSPC related panic. This patch also turns off the metadata_ratio stuff in order to allow users to more efficiently use their disk space. This patch makes it so we track how much metadata we need for an inode's delayed allocation extents by tracking how many extents are currently waiting for allocation. It introduces two new callbacks for the extent_io tree's, merge_extent_hook and split_extent_hook. These help us keep track of when we merge delalloc extents together and split them up. Reservations are handled prior to any actually dirty'ing occurs, and then we unreserve after we dirty. btrfs_unreserve_metadata_for_delalloc() will make the appropriate unreservations as needed based on the number of reservations we currently have and the number of extents we currently have. Doing the reservation outside of doing any of the actual dirty'ing lets us do things like filemap_flush() the inode to try and force delalloc to happen, or as a last resort actually start allocation on all delalloc inodes in the fs. This has survived dbench, fs_mark and an fsx torture test. Signed-off-by:

A recent change enforces only one access point to each subvolume. The first directory entry (the one added when the subvolume/snapshot was created) is treated as valid access point, all other subvolume links are linked to dummy empty directories. The dummy directories are temporary inodes that only in memory, so we can not rename file into them. Signed-off-by:
