It was possible for an async worker thread to be selected to receive a new work item, but exit before the work item was actually placed into that thread's work list. This commit fixes the race by incrementing the num_pending counter earlier, and making sure to check the number of pending work items before a thread exits.

After a new worker thread starts, it is placed into the list of idle threads. But, this may race with a check for idle done by the worker thread itself, resulting in a double list_add operation. This fix adds a check to make sure the idle thread addition is done properly. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

When btrfs_get_extent is reading inline file items for readpage, it needs to copy the inline extent into the page. If the inline extent doesn't cover all of the page, that means there is a hole in the file, or that our file is smaller than one page. readpage does zeroing for the case where the file is smaller than one page, but nobody is currently zeroing for the case where there is a hole after the inline item. This commit changes btrfs_get_extent to zero fill the page past the end of the inline item. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

Data COW means that whenever we write to a file, we replace any old extent pointers with new ones. There was a window where a readpage might find the old extent pointers on disk and cache them in the extent_map tree in ram in the middle of a given write replacing them. Even though both the readpage and the write had their respective bytes in the file locked, the extent readpage inserts may cover more bytes than it had locked down. This commit closes the race by keeping the new extent pinned in the extent map tree until after the on-disk btree is properly setup with the new extent pointers.

Btrfs writes go through delalloc to the data=ordered code. This makes sure that all of the data is on disk before the metadata that references it. The tracking means that we have to make sure each page in an extent is fully written before we add that extent into the on-disk btree. This was done in the past by setting the EXTENT_ORDERED bit for the range of an extent when it was added to the data=ordered code, and then clearing the EXTENT_ORDERED bit in the extent state tree as each page finished IO. One of the reasons we had to do this was because sometimes pages are magically dirtied without page_mkwrite being called. The EXTENT_ORDERED bit is checked at writepage time, and if it isn't there, our page become dirty without going through the proper path. These bit operations make for a number of rbtree searches for each page, and can cause considerable lock contention. This commit switches from the EXTENT_ORDERED bit to use PagePrivate2. As pages go into the ordered code, PagePrivate2 is set on each one. This is a cheap operation because we already have all the pages locked and ready to go. As IO finishes, the PagePrivate2 bit is cleared and the ordered accoutning is updated for each page. At writepage time, if the PagePrivate2 bit is missing, we go into the writepage fixup code to handle improperly dirtied pages. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

This changes the btrfs code to find delalloc ranges in the extent state tree to use the new state caching code from set/test bit. It reduces one of the biggest causes of rbtree searches in the writeback path. test_range_bit is also modified to take the cached state as a starting point while searching.

At writepage time, we have the page locked and we have the extent_map entry for this extent pinned in the extent_map tree. So, the page can't go away and its mapping can't change. There is no need for the extra extent_state lock bits during writepage. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

Many of the btrfs extent state tree users follow the same pattern. They lock an extent range in the tree, do some operation and then unlock. This translates to at least 2 rbtree searches, and maybe more if they are doing operations on the extent state tree. A locked extent in the tree isn't going to be merged or changed, and so we can safely return the extent state structure as a cached handle. This changes set_extent_bit to give back a cached handle, and also changes both set_extent_bit and clear_extent_bit to use the cached handle if it is available.

Btrfs is currently mirroring some of the page state bits into its extent state tree. The goal behind this was to use it in supporting blocksizes other than the page size. But, we don't currently support that, and we're using quite a lot of CPU on the rb tree and its spin lock. This commit starts a series of cleanups to reduce the amount of work done in the extent state tree as part of each IO. This commit: * Adds the ability to lock an extent in the state tree and also set other bits. The idea is to do locking and delalloc in one call * Removes the EXTENT_WRITEBACK and EXTENT_DIRTY bits. Btrfs is using a combination of the page bits and the ordered write code for this instead. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

As the extent state tree is manipulated, there are call backs that are used to take extra actions when different state bits are set or cleared. One example of this is a counter for the total number of delayed allocation bytes in a single inode and in the whole FS. When new states are inserted, this callback is being done before we properly setup the new state. This hasn't caused problems before because the lock bit was always done first, and the existing call backs don't care about the lock bit. This patch makes sure the state is properly setup before using the callback, which is important for later optimizations that do more work without using the lock bit.

There are two main users of the extent_map tree. The first is regular file inodes, where it is evenly spread between readers and writers. The second is the chunk allocation tree, which maps blocks from logical addresses to phyiscal ones, and it is 99.99% reads. The mapping tree is a point of lock contention during heavy IO workloads, so this commit switches things to a rw lock. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

The btrfs io submission thread tries to back off congested devices in favor of rotating off to another disk. But, it tries to make sure it submits at least some IO before rotating on (the others may be congested too), and so it has a magic number of requests it tries to write before it hops. This makes the magic number smaller. Testing shows that we're spending too much time on congested devices and leaving the other devices idle. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

When btrfs fills a large delayed allocation extent, it is a good idea to try and convince the write_cache_pages caller to go ahead and write a good chunk of that extent. The extra IO is basically free because we know it is contiguous. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

This changes the btrfs worker threads to batch work items into a local list. It allows us to pull work items in large chunks and significantly reduces the number of times we need to take the worker thread spinlock. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

The btrfs worker thread spinlock was being used both for the queueing of IO and for the processing of ordered events. The ordered events never happen from end_io handlers, and so they don't need to use the _irq version of spinlocks. This adds a dedicated lock to the ordered lists so they don't have to run with irqs off. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

The Btrfs set_extent_bit call currently searches the rbtree every time it needs to find more extent_state objects to fill the requested operation. This adds a simple test with rb_next to see if the next object in the tree was adjacent to the one we just found. If so, we skip the search and just use the next object.

The Btrfs worker threads don't currently die off after they have been idle for a while, leading to a lot of threads sitting around doing nothing for each mount. Also, they are unable to start atomically (from end_io hanlders). This commit reworks the worker threads so they can be started from end_io handlers (just setting a flag that asks for a thread to be added at a later date) and so they can exit if they have been idle for a long time.

Reinette Chatre reports a frozen system (with blinking keyboard LEDs) when switching from graphics mode to the text console, or when suspending (which does the same thing). With netconsole, the oops turned out to be BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000084 IP: [<ffffffffa03ecaab>] i915_driver_irq_handler+0x26b/0xd20 [i915] and it's due to the i915_gem.c code doing drm_irq_uninstall() after having done i915_gem_idle(). And the i915_gem_idle() path will do i915_gem_idle() -> i915_gem_cleanup_ringbuffer() -> i915_gem_cleanup_hws() -> dev_priv->hw_status_page = NULL; but if an i915 interrupt comes in after this stage, it may want to access that hw_status_page, and gets the above NULL pointer dereference. And since the NULL pointer dereference happens from within an interrupt, and with the screen still in graphics mode, the common end result is simply a silently hung machine. Fix it by simply uninstalling the irq handler before idling rather than after.
