24bbcf0442 Btrfs: Add delayed iput
iput() can trigger new transactions if we are dropping the
final reference, so calling it in btrfs_commit_transaction
may end up deadlock. This patch adds delayed iput to avoid
the issue.

c71bf099ab Btrfs: Avoid orphan inodes cleanup while replaying log
We do log replay in a single transaction, so it's not good to do unbound
operations. This patch cleans up orphan inodes cleanup after replaying
the log. It also avoids doing other unbound operations such as truncating
a file during replaying log. These unbound operations are postponed to
the orphan inode cleanup stage.

We allow two log transactions at a time, but use same flag

blocks belonging to newer log transaction when committing a
log transaction. This patch fixes the issue by using two
flags to mark dirty tree-log btree blocks.

257c62e1bc Btrfs: avoid tree log commit when there are no changes
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.

e3ccfa9897 Btrfs: async delalloc flushing under space pressure
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.

61d92c328c Btrfs: fix deadlock on async thread startup
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.

9ed74f2dba Btrfs: proper -ENOSPC handling
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.

4df27c4d5c Btrfs: change how subvolumes are organized
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.

11833d66be Btrfs: improve async block group caching
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.

890871be85 Btrfs: switch extent_map to a rw lock
There are two main users of the extent_map tree.  The
first is regular file inodes, where it is evenly spread

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.

276e680d19 Btrfs: preserve commit_root for async caching
The async block group caching code uses the commit_root pointer
to get a stable version of the extent allocation tree for scanning.
This copy of the tree root isn't going to change and it significantly
reduces the complexity of the scanning code.

During a commit, we have a loop where we update the extent allocation
tree root.  We need to loop because updating the root pointer in
the tree of tree roots may allocate blocks which may change the
extent allocation tree.

Right now the commit_root pointer is changed inside this loop.  It
is more correct to change the commit_root pointer only after all the
looping is done.

68b38550dd Btrfs: change how we unpin extents
We are racy with async block caching and unpinning extents.  This patch makes
things much less complicated by only unpinning the extent if the block group is
cached.  We check the block_group->cached var under the block_group->lock spin
lock.  If it is set to BTRFS_CACHE_FINISHED then we update the pinned counters,
and unpin the extent and add the free space back.  If it is not set to this, we
start the caching of the block group so the next time we unpin extents we can
unpin the extent.  This keeps us from racing with the async caching threads,
lets us kill the fs wide async thread counter, and keeps us from having to set
DELALLOC bits for every extent we hit if there are caching kthreads going.

One thing that needed to be changed was btrfs_free_super_mirror_extents.  Now
instead of just looking for LOCKED extents, we also look for DIRTY extents,
since we could have left some extents pinned in the previous transaction that
will never get freed now that we are unmounting, which would cause us to leak
memory.  So btrfs_free_super_mirror_extents has been changed to
btrfs_free_pinned_extents, and it will clear the extents locked for the super
mirror, and any remaining pinned extents that may be present.  Thank you,

817d52f8db Btrfs: async block group caching
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.  Thank you,

4eedeb75e7 Btrfs: pin buffers during write_dev_supers
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.

e5e9a5206a Btrfs: avoid races between super writeout and device list updates
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.

5d4f98a28c Btrfs: Mixed back reference (FORWARD ROLLING FORMAT CHANGE)
This commit introduces a new kind of back reference for btrfs metadata.
Once a filesystem has been mounted with this commit, IT WILL NO LONGER
BE MOUNTABLE BY OLDER KERNELS.

When a tree block in subvolume tree is cow'd, the reference counts of all
extents it points to are increased by one.  At transaction commit time,
the old root of the subvolume is recorded in a "dead root" data structure,
and the btree it points to is later walked, dropping reference counts
and freeing any blocks where the reference count goes to 0.

The increments done during cow and decrements done after commit cancel out,
and the walk is a very expensive way to go about freeing the blocks that
are no longer referenced by the new btree root.  This commit reduces the
transaction overhead by avoiding the need for dead root records.

When a non-shared tree block is cow'd, we free the old block at once, and the
new block inherits old block's references. When a tree block with reference
count > 1 is cow'd, we increase the reference counts of all extents
the new block points to by one, and decrease the old block's reference count by
one.

This dead tree avoidance code removes the need to modify the reference
counts of lower level extents when a non-shared tree block is cow'd.
But we still need to update back ref for all pointers in the block.
This is because the location of the block is recorded in the back ref
item.

We can solve this by introducing a new type of back ref. The new
back ref provides information about pointer's key, level and in which
tree the pointer lives. This information allow us to find the pointer
by searching the tree. The shortcoming of the new back ref is that it
only works for pointers in tree blocks referenced by their owner trees.

This is mostly a problem for snapshots, where resolving one of these
fuzzy back references would be O(number_of_snapshots) and quite slow.
The solution used here is to use the fuzzy back references in the common
case where a given tree block is only referenced by one root,
and use the full back references when multiple roots have a reference
on a given block.

This commit adds per subvolume red-black tree to keep trace of cached
inodes. The red-black tree helps the balancing code to find cached
inodes whose inode numbers within a given range.

This commit improves the balancing code by introducing several data
structures to keep the state of balancing. The most important one
is the back ref cache. It caches how the upper level tree blocks are
referenced. This greatly reduce the overhead of checking back ref.

The improved balancing code scales significantly better with a large
number of snapshots.

This is a very large commit and was written in a number of
pieces.  But, they depend heavily on the disk format change and were
squashed together to make sure git bisect didn't end up in a
bad state wrt space balancing or the format change.

cc7b0c9b70 Btrfs: remove some WARN_ONs in the IO failure path
These debugging WARN_ONs make too much console noise during regular
IO failures.  An IO failure will still generate a number of messages
as we verify checksums etc, but these two are not needed.

193f284d49 Btrfs: ratelimit IO error printks
Btrfs has printks for various IO errors, including bad checksums and
mismatches between what we expect the block headers to contain and what
we actually find on the disk.

Longer term we need a real reporting mechanism for this, but for now
printk is going to have to do.

97e728d435 Btrfs: try to keep a healthy ratio of metadata vs data block groups
This patch makes the chunk allocator keep a good ratio of metadata vs data
block groups.  By default for every 8 data block groups, we'll allocate 1
metadata chunk, or about 12% of the disk will be allocated for metadata.  This
can be changed by specifying the metadata_ratio mount option.

This is simply the number of data block groups that have to be allocated to
force a metadata chunk allocation.  By making sure we allocate metadata chunks
more often, we are less likely to get into situations where the whole disk
has been allocated as data block groups.

d313d7a31a Btrfs: add a priority queue to the async thread helpers
Btrfs is using WRITE_SYNC_PLUG to send down synchronous IOs with a
higher priority.  But, the checksumming helper threads prevent it
from being fully effective.

There are two problems.  First, a big queue of pending checksumming
will delay the synchronous IO behind other lower priority writes.  Second,
the checksumming uses an ordered async work queue.  The ordering makes sure
that IOs are sent to the block layer in the same order they are sent
to the checksumming threads.  Usually this gives us less seeky IO.

But, when we start mixing IO priorities, the lower priority IO can delay
the higher priority IO.

This patch solves both problems by adding a high priority list to the async
helper threads, and a new btrfs_set_work_high_prio(), which is used
to make put a new async work item onto the higher priority list.

The ordering is still done on high priority IO, but all of the high
priority bios are ordered separately from the low priority bios.  This
ordering is purely an IO optimization, it is not involved in data
or metadata integrity.

ffbd517d5a Btrfs: use WRITE_SYNC for synchronous writes
Part of reducing fsync/O_SYNC/O_DIRECT latencies is using WRITE_SYNC for
writes we plan on waiting on in the near future.  This patch
mirrors recent changes in other filesystems and the generic code to
use WRITE_SYNC when WB_SYNC_ALL is passed and to use WRITE_SYNC for
other latency critical writes.

Btrfs uses async worker threads for checksumming before the write is done,
and then again to actually submit the bios.  The bio submission code just
runs a per-device list of bios that need to be sent down the pipe.

This list is split into low priority and high priority lists so the
WRITE_SYNC IO happens first.

fa9c0d795f Btrfs: rework allocation clustering
Because btrfs is copy-on-write, we end up picking new locations for
blocks very often.  This makes it fairly difficult to maintain perfect
read patterns over time, but we can at least do some optimizations
for writes.

This is done today by remembering the last place we allocated and
trying to find a free space hole big enough to hold more than just one
allocation.  The end result is that we tend to write sequentially to
the drive.

This happens all the time for metadata and it happens for data
when mounted -o ssd.  But, the way we record it is fairly racey
and it tends to fragment the free space over time because we are trying
to allocate fairly large areas at once.

This commit gets rid of the races by adding a free space cluster object
with dedicated locking to make sure that only one process at a time
is out replacing the cluster.

The free space fragmentation is somewhat solved by allowing a cluster
to be comprised of smaller free space extents.  This part definitely
adds some CPU time to the cluster allocations, but it allows the allocator
to consume the small holes left behind by cow.

04018de5d4 Btrfs: kill the pinned_mutex
This patch removes the pinned_mutex.  The extent io map has an internal tree
lock that protects the tree itself, and since we only copy the extent io map
when we are committing the transaction we don't need it there.  We also don't
need it when caching the block group since searching through the tree is also
protected by the internal map spin lock.
