      Btrfs: avoid tree log commit when there are no changes · 257c62e1
      Chris Mason authored
      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.

      Btrfs: only write one super copy during fsync · 4722607d
      Chris Mason authored
      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.

      Btrfs: optimize fsync for the single writer case · ff782e0a
      Josef Bacik authored
      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.

      Btrfs: async delalloc flushing under space pressure · e3ccfa98
      Josef Bacik authored
      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.

      Btrfs: release delalloc reservations on extent item insertion · 32c00aff
      Josef Bacik authored
      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.

      Btrfs: delay clearing EXTENT_DELALLOC for compressed extents · a3429ab7
      Chris Mason authored
      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.

      Btrfs: fix possible softlockup in the allocator · 1cdda9b8
      Josef Bacik authored
      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.

      Btrfs: fix deadlock on async thread startup · 61d92c32
      Chris Mason authored
      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.

      Btrfs: proper -ENOSPC handling · 9ed74f2d
      Josef Bacik authored
      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.

      Btrfs: check size of inode backref before adding hardlink · a5719521
      Yan, Zheng authored
      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

      Btrfs: fix releasepage to avoid unlocking extents we haven't locked · 11ef160f
      Chris Mason authored
      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.

      Btrfs: fix errors handling cached state in set/clear_extent_bit · 42daec29
      Chris Mason authored
      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.

      Btrfs: fix early enospc during balancing · 7ce618db

      Josef Bacik authored
      There is a slight problem with the extent entry threshold calculation for the

      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.

      Btrfs: don't keep retrying a block group if we fail to allocate a cluster · 0a24325e
      Josef Bacik authored
      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.

      Btrfs: make balance code choose more wisely when relocating · ba1bf481
      Josef Bacik authored
      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
