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:

For every hardlink in btrfs, there is a corresponding inode back reference. All inode back references for hardlinks in a given directory are stored in single b-tree item. The size of b-tree item is limited by the size of b-tree leaf, so we can only create limited number of hardlinks to a given file in a directory. The original code lacks of the check, it oops if the number of hardlinks goes over the limit. This patch fixes the issue by adding check to btrfs_link and btrfs_rename. Signed-off-by:

During releasepage, we try to drop any extent_state structs for the bye offsets of the page we're releaseing. But the code was incorrectly telling clear_extent_bit to delete the state struct unconditionallly. Normally this would be fine because we have the page locked, but other parts of btrfs will lock down an entire extent, the most common place being IO completion. releasepage was deleting the extent state without first locking the extent, which may result in removing a state struct that another process had locked down. The fix here is to leave the NODATASUM and EXTENT_LOCKED bits alone in releasepage. Signed-off-by: -

If test_range_bit finds an extent that goes all the way to (u64)-1, it can incorrectly wrap the u64 instead of treaing it like the end of the address space. This just adds a check for the highest possible offset so we don't wrap. Signed-off-by: -

Both set and clear_extent_bit allow passing a cached state struct to reduce rbtree search times. clear_extent_bit was improperly bypassing some of the checks around making sure the extent state fields were correct for a given operation. The fix used here (from Yan Zheng) is to use the hit_next goto target instead of jumping all the way down to start clearing bits without making sure the cached state was exactly correct for the operation we were doing. This also fixes up the setting of the start variable for both ops in the case where we find an overlapping extent that begins before the range we want to change. In both cases we were incorrectly going backwards from the original requested change. Signed-off-by:

We now do extra checks before a balance to make sure there is room for the balance to take place. One of the checks was testing to see if we were trying to balance away the last block group of a given type. If there is no space available for new chunks, we should not try and balance away the last block group of a give type. But, the code wasn't checking for available chunk space, and so it was exiting too soon. The fix here is to combine some of the checks and make sure we try to allocate new chunks when we're balancing the last block group. Signed-off-by: -

As we get closer to proper -ENOSPC handling in btrfs, we need more accurate space accounting for the space info's. Currently we exclude the free space for the super mirrors, but the space they take up isn't accounted for in any of the counters. This patch introduces bytes_super, which keeps track of the amount of bytes used for a super mirror in the block group cache and space info. This makes sure that our free space caclucations will be completely accurate. Signed-off-by:

There is a slight problem with the extent entry threshold calculation for the free space cache. We only adjust the threshold down as we add bitmaps, but never actually adjust the threshold up as we add bitmaps. This means we could fragment the free space so badly that we end up using all bitmaps to describe the free space, use all the free space which would result in the bitmaps being freed, but then go to add free space again as we delete things and immediately add bitmaps since the extent threshold would still be 0. Now as we free bitmaps the extent threshold will be ratcheted up to allow more extent entries to be added. Signed-off-by:

When we first go to add free space, we allocate a new info and set the offset and bytes to the space we are adding. This is fine, except we actually set the size of a bitmap as we set the bits in it, so if we add space to a bitmap, we'd end up counting the same space twice. This isn't a huge deal, it just makes the allocator behave weirdly since it will think that a bitmap entry has more space than it ends up actually having. I used a BUG_ON() to catch when this problem happened, and with this patch I no longer get the BUG_ON(). Signed-off-by:

The box can get locked up in the allocator if we happen upon a block group under these conditions: 1) During a commit, so caching threads cannot make progress 2) Our block group currently is in the middle of being cached 3) Our block group currently has plenty of free space in it 4) Our block group is so fragmented that it ends up having no free space chunks larger than min_bytes calculated by btrfs_find_space_cluster. What happens is we try and do btrfs_find_space_cluster, which fails because it is unable to find enough free space chunks that are large than min_bytes and are close enough together. Since the block group is not cached we do a wait_block_group_cache_progress, which waits for the number of bytes we need, except the block group already has _plenty_ of free space, its just severely fragmented, so we loop and try again, ad infinitum. This patch keeps us from waiting on the block group to finish caching if we failed to find a free space cluster before. It also makes sure that we don't even try to find a free space cluster if we are on our last loop in the allocator, since we will have tried everything at this point at it is futile. Signed-off-by:

Currently, we can panic the box if the first block group we go to move is of a type where there is no space left to move those extents. For example, if we fill the disk up with data, and then we try to balance and we have no room to move the data nor room to allocate new chunks, we will panic. Change this by checking to see if we have room to move this chunk around, and if not, return -ENOSPC and move on to the next chunk. This will make sure we remove block groups that are moveable, like if we have alot of empty metadata block groups, and then that way we make room to be able to balance our data chunks as well. Tested this with an fs that would panic on btrfs-vol -b normally, but no longer panics with this patch. V1->V2: -actually search for a free extent on the device to make sure we can allocate a chunk if need be. -fix btrfs_shrink_device to make sure we actually try to relocate all the chunks, and then if we can't return -ENOSPC so if we are doing a btrfs-vol -r we don't remove the device with data still on it. -check to make sure the block group we are going to relocate isn't the last one in that particular space -fix a bug in btrfs_shrink_device where we would change the device's size and not fix it if we fail to do our relocate Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:

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. Signed-off-by:
