This patch moves the caching of the block group off to a kthread in order to allow people to allocate sooner. Instead of blocking up behind the caching mutex, we instead kick of the caching kthread, and then attempt to make an allocation. If we cannot, we wait on the block groups caching waitqueue, which the caching kthread will wake the waiting threads up everytime it finds 2 meg worth of space, and then again when its finished caching. This is how I tested the speedup from this mkfs the disk mount the disk fill the disk up with fs_mark unmount the disk mount the disk time touch /mnt/foo Without my changes this took 11 seconds on my box, with these changes it now takes 1 second. Another change thats been put in place is we lock the super mirror's in the pinned extent map in order to keep us from adding that stuff as free space when caching the block group. This doesn't really change anything else as far as the pinned extent map is concerned, since for actual pinned extents we use EXTENT_DIRTY, but it does mean that when we unmount we have to go in and unlock those extents to keep from leaking memory. I've also added a check where when we are reading block groups from disk, if the amount of space used == the size of the block group, we go ahead and mark the block group as cached. This drastically reduces the amount of time it takes to cache the block groups. Using the same test as above, except doing a dd to a file and then unmounting, it used to take 33 seconds to umount, now it takes 3 seconds. This version uses the commit_root in the caching kthread, and then keeps track of how many async caching threads are running at any given time so if one of the async threads is still running as we cross transactions we can wait until its finished before handling the pinned extents.

Currently btrfs has a problem where it can use a ridiculous amount of RAM simply tracking free space. As free space gets fragmented, we end up with thousands of entries on an rb-tree per block group, which usually spans 1 gig of area. Since we currently don't ever flush free space cache back to disk this gets to be a bit unweildly on large fs's with lots of fragmentation. This patch solves this problem by using PAGE_SIZE bitmaps for parts of the free space cache. Initially we calculate a threshold of extent entries we can handle, which is however many extent entries we can cram into 16k of ram. The maximum amount of RAM that should ever be used to track 1 gigabyte of diskspace will be 32k of RAM, which scales much better than we did before. Once we pass the extent threshold, we start adding bitmaps and using those instead for tracking the free space. This patch also makes it so that any free space thats less than 4 * sectorsize we go ahead and put into a bitmap. This is nice since we try and allocate out of the front of a block group, so if the front of a block group is heavily fragmented and then has a huge chunk of free space at the end, we go ahead and add the fragmented areas to bitmaps and use a normal extent entry to track the big chunk at the back of the block group. I've also taken the opportunity to revamp how we search for free space. Previously we indexed free space via an offset indexed rb tree and a bytes indexed rb tree. I've dropped the bytes indexed rb tree and use only the offset indexed rb tree. This cuts the number of tree operations we were doing previously down by half, and gives us a little bit of a better allocation pattern since we will always start from a specific offset and search forward from there, instead of searching for the size we need and try and get it as close as possible to the offset we want. I've given this a healthy amount of testing pre-new format stuff, as well as post-new format stuff. I've booted up my fedora box which is installed on btrfs with this patch and ran with it for a few days without issues. I've not seen any performance regressions in any of my tests. Since the last patch Yan Zheng fixed a problem where we could have overlapping entries, so updating their offset inline would cause problems.

It was never actually doing anything anyway (see the loop condition), and it would be difficult to make it work for RAID[56]. Even if it was actually working, it's checking for the wrong thing anyway. Instead of checking whether we list a block which _doesn't_ land at the relevant physical location, it should be checking that we _have_ listed all the logical blocks which refer to the required physical location on all devices. This function is only called from remove_sb_from_cache() to ensure that we reserve the logical blocks which would reside at the same physical location as the superblock copies. So listing more blocks than we need is actually OK. With RAID[56] we're going to throw away an entire stripe for each block we have to ignore, so we _are_ going to list blocks other than the ones which actually contain the superblock.

If spin_lock_irqsave is called twice in a row with the same second argument, the interrupt state at the point of the second call overwrites the value saved by the first call. Indeed, the second call does not need to save the interrupt state, so it is changed to a simple spin_lock.

Write dirty block groups may allocate new block, and so may add new delayed back ref. btrfs_run_delayed_refs may make some block groups dirty. commit_cowonly_roots does not handle the recursion properly, and some dirty blocks can be left unwritten at commit time. This patch moves btrfs_run_delayed_refs into the loop that writes dirty block groups, and makes the code not break out of the loop until there are no dirty block groups or delayed back refs.

When walking up the tree, btrfs_find_next_key assumes the upper level tree block is properly locked. This isn't always true even path->keep_locks is 1. This is because btrfs_find_next_key may advance path->slots[] several times instead of only once. When 'path->slots[level] >= btrfs_header_nritems(path->nodes[level])' is found, we can't guarantee the original value of 'path->slots[level]' is 'btrfs_header_nritems(path->nodes[level]) - 1'. If it's not, the tree block at 'level + 1' isn't locked. This patch fixes the issue by explicitly checking the locking state, re-searching the tree if it's not locked.

The new backref format has restriction on type of backref item. If a tree block isn't referenced by its owner tree, full backrefs must be used for the pointers in it. When a tree block loses its owner tree's reference, backrefs for the pointers in it should be updated to full backrefs. Current btrfs_drop_snapshot misses the code that updates backrefs, so it's unsafe for general use. This patch adds backrefs update code to btrfs_drop_snapshot. It isn't a problem in the restricted form btrfs_drop_snapshot is used today, but for general snapshot deletion this update is required.

Using Eric Sandeen's xfstest for fallocate, you can easily trigger a ENOSPC panic on btrfs. This is because we do not account for data we may use when doing the fallocate. This patch fixes the problem by properly reserving space, and then just freeing it when we are done. The reservation stuff was made with delalloc in mind, so its a little crude for this case, but it keeps the box from panicing.

During tree log replay, we read in the tree log roots, process them and then free them. A recent change takes an extra reference on the root node of the tree when the root is read in, and stores that reference in root->commit_root. This reference was not being freed, leaving us with one buffer pinned in ram for each subvol with a tree log root after a crash. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

This patch fixes a bug which may result race condition between btrfs_start_workers() and worker_loop(). btrfs_start_workers() executed in a parent thread writes on workers->worker and worker_loop() in a child thread reads workers->worker. However, there is no synchronization enforcing the order of two operations. This patch makes btrfs_start_workers() fill workers->worker before it starts a child thread with worker_loop() Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

write_dev_supers is called in sequence. First is it called with wait == 0, which starts IO on all of the super blocks for a given device. Then it is called with wait == 1 to make sure they all reach the disk. It doesn't currently pin the buffers between the two calls, and it also assumes the buffers won't go away between the two calls, leading to an oops if the VM manages to free the buffers in the middle of the sync. This fixes that assumption and updates the code to return an error if things are not up to date when the wait == 1 run is done.

On multi-device filesystems, btrfs writes supers to all of the devices before considering a sync complete. There wasn't any additional locking between super writeout and the device list management code because device management was done inside a transaction and super writeout only happened with no transation writers running. With the btrfs fsync log and other async transaction updates, this has been racey for some time. This adds a mutex to protect the device list. The existing volume mutex could not be reused due to transaction lock ordering requirements. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

Add support for the standard attributes set via chattr and read via lsattr. Currently we store the attributes in the flags value in the btrfs inode, but I wonder whether we should split it into two so that we don't have to keep converting between the two formats. Remove the btrfs_clear_flag/btrfs_set_flag/btrfs_test_flag macros as they were confusing the existing code and got in the way of the new additions. Also add the FS_IOC_GETVERSION ioctl for getting i_generation as it's trivial. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

Some SSDs perform best when reusing block numbers often, while others perform much better when clustering strictly allocates big chunks of unused space. The default mount -o ssd will find rough groupings of blocks where there are a bunch of free blocks that might have some allocated blocks mixed in. mount -o ssd_spread will make sure there are no allocated blocks mixed in.

The btrfs IO submission threads try to service a bunch of devices with a small number of threads. They do a congestion check to try and avoid waiting on requests for a busy device. The checks make sure we've sent a few requests down to a given device just so that we aren't bouncing between busy devices without actually sending down any IO. The counter used to decide if we can switch to the next device is somewhat overloaded. It is also being used to decide if we've done a good batch of requests between the WRITE_SYNC or regular priority lists. It may get reset to zero often, leaving us hammering on a busy device instead of moving on to another disk. This commit adds a new counter for the number of bios sent while servicing a device. It doesn't get reset or fiddled with. On multi-device filesystems, this fixes IO stalls in streaming write workloads. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

Btrfs uses dedicated threads to submit bios when checksumming is on, which allows us to make sure the threads dedicated to checksumming don't get stuck waiting for requests. For each btrfs device, there are two lists of bios. One list is for WRITE_SYNC bios and the other is for regular priority bios. The IO submission threads used to process all of the WRITE_SYNC bios first and then switch to the regular bios. This commit makes sure we don't completely starve the regular bios by rotating between the two lists. WRITE_SYNC bios are still favored 2:1 over the regular bios, and this tries to run in batches to avoid seeking. Benchmarking shows this eliminates stalls during streaming buffered writes on both multi-device and single device filesystems. If the regular bios starve, the system can end up with a large amount of ram pinned down in writeback pages. If we are a little more fair between the two classes, we're able to keep throughput up and make progress on the bulk of our dirty ram. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

Once a metadata block has been written, it must be recowed, so the btrfs dirty balancing call has a check to make sure a fair amount of metadata was actually dirty before it started writing it back to disk. A previous commit had changed the dirty tracking for metadata without updating the btrfs dirty balancing checks. This commit switches it to use the correct counter.
