Changelog V1 -> V2:
- break up the global rb-tree, use a list to manage the delayed nodes,
which is created for every directory and file, and used to manage the
delayed directory name index items and the delayed inode item.
- introduce a worker to deal with the delayed nodes.
Compare with Ext3/4, the performance of file creation and deletion on btrfs
is very poor. the reason is that btrfs must do a lot of b+ tree insertions,
such as inode item, directory name item, directory name index and so on.
If we can do some delayed b+ tree insertion or deletion, we can improve the
performance, so we made this patch which implemented delayed directory name
index insertion/deletion and delayed inode update.
Implementation:
- introduce a delayed root object into the filesystem, that use two lists to
manage the delayed nodes which are created for every file/directory.
One is used to manage all the delayed nodes that have delayed items. And the
other is used to manage the delayed nodes which is waiting to be dealt with
by the work thread.
- Every delayed node has two rb-tree, one is used to manage the directory name
index which is going to be inserted into b+ tree, and the other is used to
manage the directory name index which is going to be deleted from b+ tree.
- introduce a worker to deal with the delayed operation. This worker is used
to deal with the works of the delayed directory name index items insertion
and deletion and the delayed inode update.
When the delayed items is beyond the lower limit, we create works for some
delayed nodes and insert them into the work queue of the worker, and then
go back.
When the delayed items is beyond the upper bound, we create works for all
the delayed nodes that haven't been dealt with, and insert them into the work
queue of the worker, and then wait for that the untreated items is below some
threshold value.
- When we want to insert a directory name index into b+ tree, we just add the
information into the delayed inserting rb-tree.
And then we check the number of the delayed items and do delayed items
balance. (The balance policy is above.)
- When we want to delete a directory name index from the b+ tree, we search it
in the inserting rb-tree at first. If we look it up, just drop it. If not,
add the key of it into the delayed deleting rb-tree.
Similar to the delayed inserting rb-tree, we also check the number of the
delayed items and do delayed items balance.
(The same to inserting manipulation)
- When we want to update the metadata of some inode, we cached the data of the
inode into the delayed node. the worker will flush it into the b+ tree after
dealing with the delayed insertion and deletion.
- We will move the delayed node to the tail of the list after we access the
delayed node, By this way, we can cache more delayed items and merge more
inode updates.
- If we want to commit transaction, we will deal with all the delayed node.
- the delayed node will be freed when we free the btrfs inode.
- Before we log the inode items, we commit all the directory name index items
and the delayed inode update.
I did a quick test by the benchmark tool[1] and found we can improve the
performance of file creation by ~15%, and file deletion by ~20%.

This adds an initial implementation for scrub. It works quite
straightforward. The usermode issues an ioctl for each device in the
fs. For each device, it enumerates the allocated device chunks. For
each chunk, the contained extents are enumerated and the data checksums
fetched. The extents are read sequentially and the checksums verified.
If an error occurs (checksum or EIO), a good copy is searched for. If
one is found, the bad copy will be rewritten.
All enumerations happen from the commit roots. During a transaction
commit, the scrubs get paused and afterwards continue from the new
roots.
This commit is based on the series originally posted to linux-btrfs
with some improvements that resulted from comments from David Sterba,
Ilya Dryomov and Jan Schmidt.

This is similar to block group caching.
We dedicate a special inode in fs tree to save free ino cache.
At the very first time we create/delete a file after mount, the free ino
cache will be loaded from disk into memory. When the fs tree is commited,
the cache will be written back to disk.
To keep compatibility, we check the root generation against the generation
of the special inode when loading the cache, so the loading will fail
if the btrfs filesystem was mounted in an older kernel before.

Currently btrfs stores the highest objectid of the fs tree, and it always
returns (highest+1) inode number when we create a file, so inode numbers
won't be reclaimed when we delete files, so we'll run out of inode numbers
as we keep create/delete files in 32bits machines.
This fixes it, and it works similarly to how we cache free space in block
cgroups.
We start a kernel thread to read the file tree. By scanning inode items,
we know which chunks of inode numbers are free, and we cache them in
an rb-tree.
Because we are searching the commit root, we have to carefully handle the
cross-transaction case.
The rb-tree is a hybrid extent+bitmap tree, so if we have too many small
chunks of inode numbers, we'll use bitmaps. Initially we allow 16K ram
of extents, and a bitmap will be used if we exceed this threshold. The
extents threshold is adjusted in runtime.

root_item->flags and root_item->byte_limit are not initialized when
a subvolume is created. This bug is not revealed until we added
readonly snapshot support - now you mount a btrfs filesystem and you
may find the subvolumes in it are readonly.
To work around this problem, we steal a bit from root_item->inode_item->flags,
and use it to indicate if those fields have been properly initialized.
When we read a tree root from disk, we check if the bit is set, and if
not we'll set the flag and initialize the two fields of the root item.

Data compression and data cow are controlled across the entire FS by mount
options right now. ioctls are needed to set this on a per file or per
directory basis. This has been proposed previously, but VFS developers
wanted us to use generic ioctls rather than btrfs-specific ones.
According to Chris's comment, there should be just one true compression
method(probably LZO) stored in the super. However, before this, we would
wait for that one method is stable enough to be adopted into the super.
So I list it as a long term goal, and just store it in ram today.
After applying this patch, we can use the generic "FS_IOC_SETFLAGS" ioctl to
control file and directory's datacow and compression attribute.
NOTE:
- The compression type is selected by such rules:
If we mount btrfs with compress options, ie, zlib/lzo, the type is it.
Otherwise, we'll use the default compress type (zlib today).
v1->v2:
- rebase to the latest btrfs.
v2->v3:
- fix a problem, i.e. when a file is set NOCOW via mount option, then this NOCOW
will be screwed by inheritance from parent directory.

I was originally following examples in

the define CONFIG_HAVE_EFFICIENT_UNALIGNED_ACCESS is intended for larger

- The panic isn't done by the NULL pointer reference etc. (even if

- The error code is returned in the place where the error can be easily

This patch comes from "Forced readonly mounts on errors" ideas.
As we know, this is the first step in being more fault tolerant of disk
corruptions instead of just using BUG() statements.
The major content:
- add a framework for generating errors that should result in filesystems
going readonly.
- keep FS state in disk super block.
- make sure that all of resource will be freed and released at umount time.
- make sure that fter FS is forced readonly on error, there will be no more
disk change before FS is corrected. For this, we should stop write operation.
After this patch is applied, the conversion from BUG() to such a framework can
happen incrementally.

Lzo is a much faster compression algorithm than gzib, so would allow
more users to enable transparent compression, and some users can
choose from compression ratio and speed for different applications
Usage:
# mount -t btrfs -o compress[=<zlib,lzo>] dev /mnt
or
# mount -t btrfs -o compress-force[=<zlib,lzo>] dev /mnt
"-o compress" without argument is still allowed for compatability.
Compatibility:
If we mount a filesystem with lzo compression, it will not be able be
mounted in old kernels. One reason is, otherwise btrfs will directly
dump compressed data, which sits in inline extent, to user.
Performance:
The test copied a linux source tarball (~400M) from an ext4 partition

If we just get a plain IO error when we read tree roots, the code

continue when they should failed, and allowed operations
on partially setup root structs. The end result was usually oopsen
on spinlocks that hadn't been spun up correctly.

There is a problem with how we use sget, it searches through the list of supers
attached to the fs_type looking for a super with the same fs_devices as what
we're trying to mount. This depends on sb->s_fs_info being filled, but we don't
fill that in until we get to btrfs_fill_super, so we could hit supers on the
fs_type super list that have a null s_fs_info. In order to fix that we need to
go ahead and setup a blank root with a blank fs_info to hold fs_devices, that
way our test will work out right and then we can set s_fs_info in
btrfs_set_super, and then open_ctree will simply use our pre-allocated root and
fs_info when setting everything up. Thanks,

Migrate page will directly call the btrfs btree writepage function,
which isn't actually allowed.
Our writepage assumes that you have locked the extent_buffer and
flagged the block as written. Without doing these steps, we can
corrupt metadata blocks.
A later commit will remove the btree writepage function since
it is really only safely used internally by btrfs. We
use writepages for everything else.

Add support for an async transaction commit that is ordered such that any
subsequent operations will join the following transaction, but does not
wait until the current commit is fully on disk. This avoids much of the
latency associated with the btrfs_commit_transaction for callers concerned
with serialization and not safety.
The wait_for_unblock flag controls whether we wait for the 'middle' portion
of commit_transaction to complete, which is necessary if the caller expects
some of the modifications contained in the commit to be available (this is
the case for subvol/snapshot creation).

This is a simple bit, just dump the free space cache out to our preallocated
inode when we're writing out dirty block groups. There are a bunch of changes
in inode.c in order to account for special cases. Mostly when we're doing the
writeout we're holding trans_mutex, so we need to use the nolock transacation
functions. Also we can't do asynchronous completions since the async thread
could be blocked on already completed IO waiting for the transaction lock. This
has been tested with xfstests and btrfs filesystem balance, as well as my ENOSPC
tests. Thanks,

In order to save free space cache, we need an inode to hold the data, and we
need a special item to point at the right inode for the right block group. So
first, create a special item that will point to the right inode, and the number
of extent entries we will have and the number of bitmaps we will have. We
truncate and pre-allocate space everytime to make sure it's uptodate.
This feature will be turned on as soon as you mount with -o space_cache, however
it is safe to boot into old kernels, they will just generate the cache the old
fashion way. When you boot back into a newer kernel we will notice that we
modified and not the cache and automatically discard the cache.

We don't actually check the return value of btrfs_read_block_groups, so we can
possibly succeed to mount, but then fail to say read the superblock xattr for
selinux which will cause the vfs code to deactivate the super.
This is a problem because in find_free_extent we just assume that we
will find the right space_info for the allocation we want. But if we
failed to read the block groups, we won't have setup any space_info's,
and we'll hit a NULL pointer deref in find_free_extent.
This patch fixes that problem by checking the return value of
btrfs_read_block_groups, and failing out properly. I've also added a
check in find_free_extent so if for some reason we don't find an
appropriate space_info, we just return -ENOSPC.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

not converted some things, like the relocation and ioctl's, since they aren't
heavily used and the relocation stuff is in the middle of being re-written. I
also changed the clear_extent_bit() to only unset the cached state if we are
clearing EXTENT_LOCKED and related stuff, so we can do things like this
lock_extent_bits()
clear delalloc bits
unlock_extent_cached()
without losing our cached state. I tested this thoroughly and turned on

Mounting a bad filesystem caused a BUG_ON(). The following is steps to
reproduce it.
# mkfs.btrfs /dev/sda2
# mount /dev/sda2 /mnt
# mkfs.btrfs /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2
(the program says that /dev/sda2 was mounted, and then exits. )
# umount /mnt
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
At the third step, mkfs.btrfs exited in the way of make filesystem. So the
initialization of the filesystem didn't finish. So the filesystem was bad, and
it caused BUG_ON() when mounting it. But BUG_ON() should be called by the wrong
code, not user's operation, so I think it is a bug of btrfs.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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

Btrfs: be more polite in the async caching threads
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.

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,

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,

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.

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.

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.

This patch makes the chunk allocator keep a good ratio of metadata vs data

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

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.

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.

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.

Renames and truncates are both common ways to replace old data with new
data. The filesystem can make an effort to make sure the new data is
on disk before actually replacing the old data.
This is especially important for rename, which many application use as
though it were atomic for both the data and the metadata involved. The
current btrfs code will happily replace a file that is fully on disk
with one that was just created and still has pending IO.
If we crash after transaction commit but before the IO is done, we'll end
up replacing a good file with a zero length file. The solution used
here is to create a list of inodes that need special ordering and force
them to disk before the commit is done. This is similar to the
ext3 style data=ordering, except it is only done on selected files.
Btrfs is able to get away with this because it does not wait on commits
very often, even for fsync (which use a sub-commit).
For renames, we order the file when it wasn't already
on disk and when it is replacing an existing file. Larger files
are sent to filemap_flush right away (before the transaction handle is
opened).
For truncates, we order if the file goes from non-zero size down to
zero size. This is a little different, because at the time of the
truncate the file has no dirty bytes to order. But, we flag the inode
so that it is added to the ordered list on close (via release method). We
also immediately add it to the ordered list of the current transaction
so that we can try to flush down any writes the application sneaks in
before commit.

btrfs_mark_buffer dirty would set dirty bits in the extent_io tree
for the buffers it was dirtying. This may require a kmalloc and it
was not atomic. So, anyone who called btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty had to
set any btree locks they were holding to blocking first.
This commit changes dirty tracking for extent buffers to just use a flag
in the extent buffer. Now that we have one and only one extent buffer
per page, this can be safely done without losing dirty bits along the way.
This also introduces a path->leave_spinning flag that callers of
btrfs_search_slot can use to indicate they will properly deal with a
path returned where all the locks are spinning instead of blocking.
Many of the btree search callers now expect spinning paths,

The delayed reference queue maintains pending operations that need to
be done to the extent allocation tree. These are processed by
finding records in the tree that are not currently being processed one at
a time.
This is slow because it uses lots of time searching through the rbtree
and because it creates lock contention on the extent allocation tree
when lots of different procs are running delayed refs at the same time.
This commit changes things to grab a cluster of refs for processing,
using a cursor into the rbtree as the starting point of the next search.

The extent allocation tree maintains a reference count and full
back reference information for every extent allocated in the
filesystem. For subvolume and snapshot trees, every time
a block goes through COW, the new copy of the block adds a reference
on every block it points to.
If a btree node points to 150 leaves, then the COW code needs to go
and add backrefs on 150 different extents, which might be spread all
over the extent allocation tree.
These updates currently happen during btrfs_cow_block, and most COWs
happen during btrfs_search_slot. btrfs_search_slot has locks held
on both the parent and the node we are COWing, and so we really want
to avoid IO during the COW if we can.
This commit adds an rbtree of pending reference count updates and extent
allocations. The tree is ordered by byte number of the extent and byte number
of the parent for the back reference. The tree allows us to:
1) Modify back references in something close to disk order, reducing seeks
2) Significantly reduce the number of modifications made as block pointers
are balanced around
3) Do all of the extent insertion and back reference modifications outside
of the performance critical btrfs_search_slot code.
#3 has the added benefit of greatly reducing the btrfs stack footprint.
The extent allocation tree modifications are done without the deep
(and somewhat recursive) call chains used in the past.
These delayed back reference updates must be done before the transaction
commits, and so the rbtree is tied to the transaction. Throttling is
implemented to help keep the queue of backrefs at a reasonable size.
Since there was a similar mechanism in place for the extent tree
extents, that is removed and replaced by the delayed reference tree.

Btrfs is currently using spin_lock_nested with a nested value based
on the tree depth of the block. But, this doesn't quite work because
the max tree depth is bigger than what spin_lock_nested can deal with,
and because locks are sometimes taken before the level field is filled in.
The solution here is to use lockdep_set_class_and_name instead, and to
set the class before unlocking the pages when the block is read from the
disk and just after init of a freshly allocated tree block.
btrfs_clear_path_blocking is also changed to take the locks in the proper
order, and it also makes sure all the locks currently held are properly
set to blocking before it tries to retake the spinlocks. Otherwise, lockdep
gets upset about bad lock orderin.

Most of the btrfs metadata operations can be protected by a spinlock,
but some operations still need to schedule.
So far, btrfs has been using a mutex along with a trylock loop,
most of the time it is able to avoid going for the full mutex, so
the trylock loop is a big performance gain.
This commit is step one for getting rid of the blocking locks entirely.
btrfs_tree_lock takes a spinlock, and the code explicitly switches
to a blocking lock when it starts an operation that can schedule.
We'll be able get rid of the blocking locks in smaller pieces over time.
Tracing allows us to find the most common cause of blocking, so we
can start with the hot spots first.
The basic idea is:
btrfs_tree_lock() returns with the spin lock held
btrfs_set_lock_blocking() sets the EXTENT_BUFFER_BLOCKING bit in
the extent buffer flags, and then drops the spin lock. The buffer is
still considered locked by all of the btrfs code.
If btrfs_tree_lock gets the spinlock but finds the blocking bit set, it drops
the spin lock and waits on a wait queue for the blocking bit to go away.
Much of the code that needs to set the blocking bit finishes without actually
blocking a good percentage of the time. So, an adaptive spin is still
used against the blocking bit to avoid very high context switch rates.
btrfs_clear_lock_blocking() clears the blocking bit and returns
with the spinlock held again.
btrfs_tree_unlock() can be called on either blocking or spinning locks,
it does the right thing based on the blocking bit.
ctree.c has a helper function to set/clear all the locked buffers in a
path as blocking.

Before metadata is written to disk, it is updated to reflect that writeout
has begun. Once this update is done, the block must be cow'd before it
can be modified again.
This update was originally synchronized by using a per-fs spinlock. Today
the buffers for the metadata blocks are locked before writeout begins,
and everyone that tests the flag has the buffer locked as well.
So, the per-fs spinlock (called hash_lock for no good reason) is no

bio_end_io for reads without checksumming on and btree writes were
happening without using async thread pools. This means the extent_io.c
code had to use spin_lock_irq and friends on the rb tree locks for
extent state.
There were some irq safe vs unsafe lock inversions between the delallock
lock and the extent state locks. This patch gets rid of them by moving
all end_io code into the thread pools.
To avoid contention and deadlocks between the data end_io processing and the
metadata end_io processing yet another thread pool is added to finish

Btrfs stores checksums for each data block. Until now, they have
been stored in the subvolume trees, indexed by the inode that is
referencing the data block. This means that when we read the inode,
we've probably read in at least some checksums as well.
But, this has a few problems:
* The checksums are indexed by logical offset in the file. When
compression is on, this means we have to do the expensive checksumming
on the uncompressed data. It would be faster if we could checksum
the compressed data instead.
* If we implement encryption, we'll be checksumming the plain text and
storing that on disk. This is significantly less secure.
* For either compression or encryption, we have to get the plain text
back before we can verify the checksum as correct. This makes the raid
layer balancing and extent moving much more expensive.
* It makes the front end caching code more complex, as we have touch
the subvolume and inodes as we cache extents.
* There is potentitally one copy of the checksum in each subvolume
referencing an extent.
The solution used here is to store the extent checksums in a dedicated
tree. This allows us to index the checksums by phyiscal extent
start and length. It means:
* The checksum is against the data stored on disk, after any compression
or encryption is done.
* The checksum is stored in a central location, and can be verified without
following back references, or reading inodes.
This makes compression significantly faster by reducing the amount of
data that needs to be checksummed. It will also allow much faster
raid management code in general.
The checksums are indexed by a key with a fixed objectid (a magic value
in ctree.h) and offset set to the starting byte of the extent. This
allows us to copy the checksum items into the fsync log tree directly (or
any other tree), without having to invent a second format for them.

While building large bios in writepages, btrfs may end up waiting
for other page writeback to finish if WB_SYNC_ALL is used.
While it is waiting, the bio it is building has a number of pages with the
writeback bit set and they aren't getting to the disk any time soon. This
lowers the latencies of writeback in general by sending down the bio being
built before waiting for other pages.
The bio submission code tries to limit the total number of async bios in
flight by waiting when we're over a certain number of async bios. But,
the waits are happening while writepages is building bios, and this can easily
lead to stalls and other problems for people calling wait_on_page_writeback.
The current fix is to let the congestion tests take care of waiting.
sync() and others make sure to drain the current async requests to make
sure that everything that was pending when the sync was started really get
to disk. The code would drain pending requests both before and after
submitting a new request.
But, if one of the requests is waiting for page writeback to finish,
the draining waits might block that page writeback. This changes the
draining code to only wait after submitting the bio being processed.

Before, all snapshots and subvolumes lived in a single flat directory. This

This commit changes the ioctls to create subvols and snapshots at any
point in the directory tree. This requires making separate ioctls for
snapshot and subvol creation instead of a combining them into one.
The subvol ioctl does:
btrfsctl -S subvol_name parent_dir
After the ioctl is done subvol_name lives inside parent_dir.
The snapshot ioctl does:
btrfsctl -s path_for_snapshot root_to_snapshot
path_for_snapshot can be an absolute or relative path. btrfsctl breaks it up
into directory and basename components.
root_to_snapshot can be any file or directory in the FS. The snapshot
is taken of the entire root where that file lives.

Seed device is a special btrfs with SEEDING super flag
set and can only be mounted in read-only mode. Seed
devices allow people to create new btrfs on top of it.
The new FS contains the same contents as the seed device,
but it can be mounted in read-write mode.
This patch does the following:
1) split code in btrfs_alloc_chunk into two parts. The first part does makes
the newly allocated chunk usable, but does not do any operation that modifies
the chunk tree. The second part does the the chunk tree modifications. This
division is for the bootstrap step of adding storage to the seed device.
2) Update device management code to handle seed device.
The basic idea is: For an FS grown from seed devices, its
seed devices are put into a list. Seed devices are
opened on demand at mounting time. If any seed device is
missing or has been changed, btrfs kernel module will
refuse to mount the FS.

block groups are read-only.

When reading compressed extents, try to put pages into the page cache
for any pages covered by the compressed extent that readpages didn't already
preload.
Add an async work queue to handle transformations at delayed allocation processing
time. Right now this is just compression. The workflow is:
1) Find offsets in the file marked for delayed allocation
2) Lock the pages
3) Lock the state bits
4) Call the async delalloc code
The async delalloc code clears the state lock bits and delalloc bits. It is
important this happens before the range goes into the work queue because
otherwise it might deadlock with other work queue items that try to lock
those extent bits.
The file pages are compressed, and if the compression doesn't work the
pages are written back directly.
An ordered work queue is used to make sure the inodes are written in the same
order that pdflush or writepages sent them down.
This changes extent_write_cache_pages to let the writepage function

Btrfs uses kernel threads to create async work queues for cpu intensive
operations such as checksumming and decompression. These work well,
but they make it difficult to keep IO order intact.
A single writepages call from pdflush or fsync will turn into a number
of bios, and each bio is checksummed in parallel. Once the checksum is
computed, the bio is sent down to the disk, and since we don't control
the order in which the parallel operations happen, they might go down to
the disk in almost any order.
The code deals with this somewhat by having deep work queues for a single
kernel thread, making it very likely that a single thread will process all
the bios for a single inode.
This patch introduces an explicitly ordered work queue. As work structs
are placed into the queue they are put onto the tail of a list. They have
three callbacks:
->func (cpu intensive processing here)
->ordered_func (order sensitive processing here)
->ordered_free (free the work struct, all processing is done)
The work struct has three callbacks. The func callback does the cpu intensive
work, and when it completes the work struct is marked as done.
Every time a work struct completes, the list is checked to see if the head
is marked as done. If so the ordered_func callback is used to do the
order sensitive processing and the ordered_free callback is used to do
any cleanup. Then we loop back and check the head of the list again.
This patch also changes the checksumming code to use the ordered workqueues.

This patch removes the giant fs_info->alloc_mutex and replaces it with a bunch
of little locks.
There is now a pinned_mutex, which is used when messing with the pinned_extents
extent io tree, and the extent_ins_mutex which is used with the pending_del and
extent_ins extent io trees.
The locking for the extent tree stuff was inspired by a patch that Yan Zheng
wrote to fix a race condition, I cleaned it up some and changed the locking
around a little bit, but the idea remains the same. Basically instead of
holding the extent_ins_mutex throughout the processing of an extent on the
extent_ins or pending_del trees, we just hold it while we're searching and when
we clear the bits on those trees, and lock the extent for the duration of the
operations on the extent.
Also to keep from getting hung up waiting to lock an extent, I've added a
try_lock_extent so if we cannot lock the extent, move on to the next one in the
tree and we'll come back to that one. I have tested this heavily and it does
not appear to break anything. This has to be applied on top of my
find_free_extent redo patch.
I tested this patch on top of Yan's space reblancing code and it worked fine.

This is a large change for adding compression on reading and writing,
both for inline and regular extents. It does some fairly large
surgery to the writeback paths.
Compression is off by default and enabled by mount -o compress. Even
when the -o compress mount option is not used, it is possible to read
compressed extents off the disk.
If compression for a given set of pages fails to make them smaller, the
file is flagged to avoid future compression attempts later.
* While finding delalloc extents, the pages are locked before being sent down
to the delalloc handler. This allows the delalloc handler to do complex things
such as cleaning the pages, marking them writeback and starting IO on their
behalf.
* Inline extents are inserted at delalloc time now. This allows us to compress
the data before inserting the inline extent, and it allows us to insert
an inline extent that spans multiple pages.
* All of the in-memory extent representations (extent_map.c, ordered-data.c etc)
are changed to record both an in-memory size and an on disk size, as well
as a flag for compression.
From a disk format point of view, the extent pointers in the file are changed
to record the on disk size of a given extent and some encoding flags.
Space in the disk format is allocated for compression encoding, as well
as encryption and a generic 'other' field. Neither the encryption or the
'other' field are currently used.
In order to limit the amount of data read for a single random read in the
file, the size of a compressed extent is limited to 128k. This is a
software only limit, the disk format supports u64 sized compressed extents.
In order to limit the ram consumed while processing extents, the uncompressed
size of a compressed extent is limited to 256k. This is a software only limit
and will be subject to tuning later.
Checksumming is still done on compressed extents, and it is done on the
uncompressed version of the data. This way additional encodings can be
layered on without having to figure out which encoding to checksum.
Compression happens at delalloc time, which is basically singled threaded because
it is usually done by a single pdflush thread. This makes it tricky to
spread the compression load across all the cpus on the box. We'll have to
look at parallel pdflush walks of dirty inodes at a later time.
Decompression is hooked into readpages and it does spread across CPUs nicely.

The kernel code needs to wait for this IO to finish before it adds

btrfs metadata IO does not happen through the block device inode. A
separate address space is used, allowing the zero filled buffer heads in

going down to the disk via the btrfs metadata inode.

This patch updates the space balancing code to utilize the new
backref format. Before, btrfs-vol -b would break any COW links
on data blocks or metadata. This was slow and caused the amount
of space used to explode if a large number of snapshots were present.
The new code can keeps the sharing of all data extents and
most of the tree blocks.
To maintain the sharing of data extents, the space balance code uses
a seperate inode hold data extent pointers, then updates the references
to point to the new location.
To maintain the sharing of tree blocks, the space balance code uses
reloc trees to relocate tree blocks in reference counted roots.
There is one reloc tree for each subvol, and all reloc trees share
same root key objectid. Reloc trees are snapshots of the latest
committed roots of subvols (root->commit_root).
To relocate a tree block referenced by a subvol, there are two steps.
COW the block through subvol's reloc tree, then update block pointer in
the subvol to point to the new block. Since all reloc trees share
same root key objectid, doing special handing for tree blocks
owned by them is easy. Once a tree block has been COWed in one
reloc tree, we can use the resulting new block directly when the
same block is required to COW again through other reloc trees.
In this way, relocated tree blocks are shared between reloc trees,
so they are also shared between subvols.

1) replace the per fs_info extent_io_tree that tracked free space with two
rb-trees per block group to track free space areas via offset and size. The
reason to do this is because most allocations come with a hint byte where to
start, so we can usually find a chunk of free space at that hint byte to satisfy
the allocation and get good space packing. If we cannot find free space at or
after the given offset we fall back on looking for a chunk of the given size as
close to that given offset as possible. When we fall back on the size search we
also try to find a slot as close to the size we want as possible, to avoid
breaking small chunks off of huge areas if possible.
2) remove the extent_io_tree that tracked the block group cache from fs_info and
replaced it with an rb-tree thats tracks block group cache via offset. also
added a per space_info list that tracks the block group cache for the particular
space so we can lookup related block groups easily.
3) cleaned up the allocation code to make it a little easier to read and a
little less complicated. Basically there are 3 steps, first look from our
provided hint. If we couldn't find from that given hint, start back at our
original search start and look for space from there. If that fails try to
allocate space if we can and start looking again. If not we're screwed and need
to start over again.
4) small fixes. there were some issues in volumes.c where we wouldn't allocate
the rest of the disk. fixed cow_file_range to actually pass the alloc_hint,
which has helped a good bit in making the fs_mark test I run have semi-normal
results as we run out of space. Generally with data allocations we don't track
where we last allocated from, so everytime we did a data allocation we'd search
through every block group that we have looking for free space. Now searching a
block group with no free space isn't terribly time consuming, it was causing a
slight degradation as we got more data block groups. The alloc_hint has fixed
this slight degredation and made things semi-normal.
There is still one nagging problem I'm working on where we will get ENOSPC when
there is definitely plenty of space. This only happens with metadata
allocations, and only when we are almost full. So you generally hit the 85%
mark first, but sometimes you'll hit the BUG before you hit the 85% wall. I'm
still tracking it down, but until then this seems to be pretty stable and make a
significant performance gain.

* Pin down data blocks to prevent them from being reallocated like so:
trans 1: allocate file extent
trans 2: free file extent
trans 3: free file extent during old snapshot deletion
trans 3: allocate file extent to new file
trans 3: fsync new file
Before the tree logging code, this was legal because the fsync
would commit the transation that did the final data extent free
and the transaction that allocated the extent to the new file
at the same time.
With the tree logging code, the tree log subtransaction can commit
before the transaction that freed the extent. If we crash,
we're left with two different files using the extent.
* Don't wait in start_transaction if log replay is going on. This
avoids deadlocks from iput while we're cleaning up link counts in the

The current code waits for the count of async bio submits to get below
a given threshold if it is too high right after adding the latest bio
to the work queue. This isn't optimal because the caller may have
sequential adjacent bios pending they are waiting to send down the pipe.
This changeset requires the caller to wait on the async bio count,
