      btrfs: remove unnecessary memory barrier in btrfs_direct_IO · dc59215d
      Nikolay Borisov authored
      Commit 38851cc1 ("Btrfs: implement unlocked dio write") implemented
      unlocked dio write, allowing multiple dio writers to write to
      non-overlapping, and non-eof-extending regions. In doing so it also
      introduced a broken memory barrier. It is broken due to 2 things:
      
      1. Memory barriers _MUST_ always be paired, this is clearly not the case
         here
      
      2. Checkpatch actually produces a warning if a memory barrier is
         introduced that doesn't have a comment explaining how it's being
         paired.
      
      Specifically for inode::i_dio_count that's wrapped inside
      inode_dio_begin, there is no explicit barrier semantics attached, so
      removing is fine as the atomic is used in common the waiter/wakeup
      pattern.

      Btrfs: add one more sanity check for shared ref type · 64ecdb64
      Liu Bo authored
      Every shared ref has a parent tree block, which can be get from
      btrfs_extent_inline_ref_offset().  And the tree block must be aligned
      to the nodesize, so we'd know this inline ref is not valid if this
      block's bytenr is not aligned to the nodesize, in which case, most
      likely the ref type has been misused.
      
      This adds the above mentioned check and also updates
      print_extent_item() called by btrfs_print_leaf() to point out the
      invalid ref while printing the tree structure.

      Btrfs: remove BUG_ON in __add_tree_block · cdccee99
      Liu Bo authored
      The BUG_ON() can be triggered when the caller is processing an invalid
      extent inline ref, e.g.
      
      a shared data ref is offered instead of an extent data ref, such that
      it tries to find a non-existent tree block and then btrfs_search_slot
      returns 1 for no such item.
      
      This replaces the BUG_ON() with a WARN() followed by calling
      btrfs_print_leaf() to show more details about what's going on and
      returning -EINVAL to upper callers.

      btrfs: preserve i_mode if __btrfs_set_acl() fails · d7d82496
      Ernesto A. Fernández authored
      When changing a file's acl mask, btrfs_set_acl() will first set the
      group bits of i_mode to the value of the mask, and only then set the
      actual extended attribute representing the new acl.
      
      If the second part fails (due to lack of space, for example) and the
      file had no acl attribute to begin with, the system will from now on
      assume that the mask permission bits are actual group permission bits,
      potentially granting access to the wrong users.
      
      Prevent this by restoring the original mode bits if __btrfs_set_acl
      fails.

      btrfs: Do not use data_alloc_cluster in ssd mode · 583b7231
      Hans van Kranenburg authored
          This patch provides a band aid to improve the 'out of the box'
      behaviour of btrfs for disks that are detected as being an ssd.  In a
      general purpose mixed workload scenario, the current ssd mode causes
      overallocation of available raw disk space for data, while leaving
      behind increasing amounts of unused fragmented free space. This
      situation leads to early ENOSPC problems which are harming user
      experience and adoption of btrfs as a general purpose filesystem.
      
      This patch modifies the data extent allocation behaviour of the ssd mode
      to make it behave identical to nossd mode.  The metadata behaviour and
      additional ssd_spread option stay untouched so far.
      
      Recommendations for future development are to reconsider the current
      oversimplified nossd / ssd distinction and the broken detection
      mechanism based on the rotational attribute in sysfs and provide
      experienced users with a more flexible way to choose allocator behaviour
      for data and metadata, optimized for certain use cases, while keeping
      sane 'out of the box' default settings.  The internals of the current
      btrfs code have more potential than what currently gets exposed to the
      user to choose from.
      
          The SSD story...
      
          In the first year of btrfs development, around early 2008, btrfs
      gained a mount option which enables specific functionality for
      filesystems on solid state devices. The first occurance of this
      functionality is in commit e18e4809, labeled "Add mount -o ssd, which
      includes optimizations for seek free storage".
      
      The effect on allocating free space for doing (data) writes is to
      'cluster' writes together, writing them out in contiguous space, as
      opposed to a 'tetris' way of putting all separate writes into any free
      space fragment that fits (which is what the -o nossd behaviour does).
      
      A somewhat simplified explanation of what happens is that, when for
      example, the 'cluster' size is set to 2MiB, when we do some writes, the
      data allocator will search for a free space block that is 2MiB big, and
      put the writes in there. The ssd mode itself might allow a 2MiB cluster
      to be composed of multiple free space extents with some existing data in
      between, while the additional ssd_spread mount option kills off this
      option and requires fully free space.
      
      The idea behind this is (commit 536ac8ae): "The [...] clusters make it
      more likely a given IO will completely overwrite the ssd block, so it
      doesn't have to do an internal rwm cycle."; ssd block meaning nand erase
      block. So, effectively this means applying a "locality based algorithm"
      and trying to outsmart the actual ssd.
      
      Since then, various changes have been made to the involved code, but the
      basic idea is still present, and gets activated whenever the ssd mount
      option is active. This also happens by default, when the rotational flag
      as seen at /sys/block/<device>/queue/rotational is set to 0.
      
          However, there's a number of problems with this approach.
      
          First, what the optimization is trying to do is outsmart the ssd by
      assuming there is a relation between the physical address space of the
      block device as seen by btrfs and the actual physical storage of the
      ssd, and then adjusting data placement. However, since the introduction
      of the Flash Translation Layer (FTL) which is a part of the internal
      controller of an ssd, these attempts are futile. The use of good quality
      FTL in consumer ssd products might have been limited in 2008, but this
      situation has changed drastically soon after that time. Today, even the
      flash memory in your automatic cat feeding machine or your grandma's
      wheelchair has a full featured one.
      
      Second, the behaviour as described above results in the filesystem being
      filled up with badly fragmented free space extents because of relatively
      small pieces of space that are freed up by deletes, but not selected
      again as part of a 'cluster'. Since the algorithm prefers allocating a
      new chunk over going back to tetris mode, the end result is a filesystem
      in which all raw space is allocated, but which is composed of
      underutilized chunks with a 'shotgun blast' pattern of fragmented free
      space. Usually, the next problematic thing that happens is the
      filesystem wanting to allocate new space for metadata, which causes the
      filesystem to fail in spectacular ways.
      
      Third, the default mount options you get for an ssd ('ssd' mode enabled,
      'discard' not enabled), in combination with spreading out writes over
      the full address space and ignoring freed up space leads to worst case
      behaviour in providing information to the ssd itself, since it will
      never learn that all the free space left behind is actually free.  There
      are two ways to let an ssd know previously written data does not have to
      be preserved, which are sending explicit signals using discard or
      fstrim, or by simply overwriting the space with new data.  The worst
      case behaviour is the btrfs ssd_spread mount option in combination with
      not having discard enabled. It has a side effect of minimizing the reuse
      of free space previously written in.
      
      Fourth, the rotational flag in /sys/ does not reliably indicate if the
      device is a locally attached ssd. For example, iSCSI or NBD displays as
      non-rotational, while a loop device on an ssd shows up as rotational.
      
      The combination of the second and third problem effectively means that
      despite all the good intentions, the btrfs ssd mode reliably causes the
      ssd hardware and the filesystem structures and performance to be choked
      to death. The clickbait version of the title of this story would have
      been "Btrfs ssd optimizations considered harmful for ssds".
      
      The current nossd 'tetris' mode (even still without discard) allows a
      pattern of overwriting much more previously used space, causing many
      more implicit discards to happen because of the overwrite information
      the ssd gets. The actual location in the physical address space, as seen
      from the point of view of btrfs is irrelevant, because the actual writes
      to the low level flash are reordered anyway thanks to the FTL.
      
          Changes made in the code
      
      1. Make ssd mode data allocation identical to tetris mode, like nossd.
      2. Adjust and clean up filesystem mount messages so that we can easily
      identify if a kernel has this patch applied or not, when providing
      support to end users. Also, make better use of the *_and_info helpers to
      only trigger messages on actual state changes.
      
          Backporting notes
      
      Notes for whoever wants to backport this patch to their 4.9 LTS kernel:
      * First apply commit 951e7966 "btrfs: drop the nossd flag when
        remounting with -o ssd", or fixup the differences manually.
      * The rest of the conflicts are because of the fs_info refactoring. So,
        for example, instead of using fs_info, it's root->fs_info in
        extent-tree.c
