Chris Mason e980b50cda Btrfs: fix fallocate deadlock on inode extent lock
The btrfs fallocate call takes an extent lock on the entire range
being fallocated, and then runs through insert_reserved_extent on each
extent as they are allocated.

The problem with this is that btrfs_drop_extents may decide to try
and take the same extent lock fallocate was already holding.  The solution
used here is to push down knowledge of the range that is already locked
going into btrfs_drop_extents.

It turns out that at least one other caller had the same bug.

Josef Bacik 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.

Sage Weil dccae99995 Btrfs: add flushoncommit mount option
The 'flushoncommit' mount option forces any data dirtied by a write in a
prior transaction to commit as part of the current commit.  This makes
the committed state a fully consistent view of the file system from the
application's perspective (i.e., it includes all completed file system
operations).  This was previously the behavior only when a snapshot is
created.

This is used by Ceph to ensure that completed writes make it to the
platter along with the metadata operations they are bound to (by
BTRFS_IOC_TRANS_{START,END}).

Chris Mason 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.

Josef Bacik 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.

Josef Bacik 6226cb0a5e Btrfs: kill the block group alloc mutex
This patch removes the block group alloc mutex used to protect the free space
tree for allocations and replaces it with a spin lock which is used only to
protect the free space rb tree.  This means we only take the lock when we are
directly manipulating the tree, which makes us a touch faster with
multi-threaded workloads.

This patch also gets rid of btrfs_find_free_space and replaces it with
btrfs_find_space_for_alloc, which takes the number of bytes you want to
allocate, and empty_size, which is used to indicate how much free space should
be at the end of the allocation.

It will return an offset for the allocator to use.  If we don't end up using it
we _must_ call btrfs_add_free_space to put it back.  This is the tradeoff to
kill the alloc_mutex, since we need to make sure nobody else comes along and
takes our space.

Nick Piggin c2ec175c39 mm: page_mkwrite change prototype to match fault
Change the page_mkwrite prototype to take a struct vm_fault, and return
VM_FAULT_xxx flags.  There should be no functional change.

This makes it possible to return much more detailed error information to
the VM (and also can provide more information eg.  virtual_address to the
driver, which might be important in some special cases).

This is required for a subsequent fix.  And will also make it easier to
merge page_mkwrite() with fault() in future.

Chris Mason 5a3f23d515 Btrfs: add extra flushing for renames and truncates
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.

Chris Mason 12fcfd22fe Btrfs: tree logging unlink/rename fixes
The tree logging code allows individual files or directories to be logged
without including operations on other files and directories in the FS.
It tries to commit the minimal set of changes to disk in order to
fsync the single file or directory that was sent to fsync or O_SYNC.

The tree logging code was allowing files and directories to be unlinked
if they were part of a rename operation where only one directory
in the rename was in the fsync log.  This patch adds a few new rules
to the tree logging.

1) on rename or unlink, if the inode being unlinked isn't in the fsync
log, we must force a full commit before doing an fsync of the directory
where the unlink was done.  The commit isn't done during the unlink,
but it is forced the next time we try to log the parent directory.

Solution: record transid of last unlink/rename per directory when the
directory wasn't already logged.  For renames this is only done when
renaming to a different directory.

mkdir foo/some_dir
normal commit
rename foo/some_dir foo2/some_dir
mkdir foo/some_dir
fsync foo/some_dir/some_file

The fsync above will unlink the original some_dir without recording
it in its new location (foo2).  After a crash, some_dir will be gone
unless the fsync of some_file forces a full commit

2) we must log any new names for any file or dir that is in the fsync
log.  This way we make sure not to lose files that are unlinked during
the same transaction.

2a) we must log any new names for any file or dir during rename
when the directory they are being removed from was logged.

2a is actually the more important variant.  Without the extra logging
a crash might unlink the old name without recreating the new one

3) after a crash, we must go through any directories with a link count
of zero and redo the rm -rf

mkdir f1/foo
normal commit
rm -rf f1/foo
fsync(f1)

The directory f1 was fully removed from the FS, but fsync was never
called on f1, only its parent dir.  After a crash the rm -rf must
be replayed.  This must be able to recurse down the entire
directory tree.  The inode link count fixup code takes care of the
ugly details.

Chris Mason b9473439d3 Btrfs: leave btree locks spinning more often
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,
resulting in better btree concurrency overall.

Chris Mason c3e69d58e8 Btrfs: process the delayed reference queue in clusters
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.
This way we walk smoothly through the rbtree.

Chris Mason 56bec294de Btrfs: do extent allocation and reference count updates in the background
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.

Chris Mason 4184ea7f90 Btrfs: Fix locking around adding new space_info
Storage allocated to different raid levels in btrfs is tracked by
a btrfs_space_info structure, and all of the current space_infos are
collected into a list_head.

Most filesystems have 3 or 4 of these structs total, and the list is
only changed when new raid levels are added or at unmount time.

This commit adds rcu locking on the list head, and properly frees
things at unmount time.  It also clears the space_info->full flag
whenever new space is added to the FS.

The locking for the space info list goes like this:

reads: protected by rcu_read_lock()
writes: protected by the chunk_mutex

At unmount time we don't need special locking because all the readers
are gone.

Josef Bacik 6a63209fc0 Btrfs: add better -ENOSPC handling
This is a step in the direction of better -ENOSPC handling.  Instead of
checking the global bytes counter we check the space_info bytes counters to
make sure we have enough space.

If we don't we go ahead and try to allocate a new chunk, and then if that fails
we return -ENOSPC.  This patch adds two counters to btrfs_space_info,
bytes_delalloc and bytes_may_use.

bytes_delalloc account for extents we've actually setup for delalloc and will
be allocated at some point down the line. 

bytes_may_use is to keep track of how many bytes we may use for delalloc at
some point.  When we actually set the extent_bit for the delalloc bytes we
subtract the reserved bytes from the bytes_may_use counter.  This keeps us from
not actually being able to allocate space for any delalloc bytes.

Chris Mason 4008c04a07 Btrfs: make a lockdep class for the extent buffer locks
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.

Chris Mason b4ce94de9b Btrfs: Change btree locking to use explicit blocking points
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

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

for each tree log.

Don't insert root item into the log root tree immediately
after log tree is allocated. Root item for log tree is
inserted when log tree get synced for the first time. This
allows syncing the log root tree without first syncing all
log trees.

At tree-log sync, btrfs_sync_log first sync the log tree;
then updates corresponding root item in the log root tree;
sync the log root tree; then update the super block.

based on the fsync log as well as the main transaction ID.  For now
the log root transid is always zero, but that'll get fixed.

Adds a starting offset to the dev_item.  This will let us do better
alignment calculations if we know the start of a partition on the disk.

Chris Mason d20f7043fa Btrfs: move data checksumming into a dedicated tree
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.

Josef Bacik f2b636e80d Btrfs: add support for compat flags to btrfs
This adds the necessary disk format for handling compatibility flags
in the future to handle disk format changes.  We have a compat_flags,
compat_ro_flags and incompat_flags set for the super block.  Compat
flags will be to hold the features that are compatible with older
versions of btrfs, compat_ro flags have features that are compatible
with older versions of btrfs if the fs is mounted read only, and
incompat_flags has features that are incompatible with older versions
of btrfs.  This also axes the compat_flags field for the inode and
just makes the flags field a 64bit field, and changes the root item
flags field to 64bit.

Subvols and snapshots can now be referenced from any point in the directory
tree.  We need to maintain back refs for them so we can find lost

Forward refs are added so that we know all of the subvols and

can be used to do recursive snapshotting (but they aren't yet) and it is
also used to detect and prevent directory loops when creating new snapshots.

Chris Mason 3de4586c52 Btrfs: Allow subvolumes and snapshots anywhere in the directory tree
Before, all snapshots and subvolumes lived in a single flat directory.  This
was awkward and confusing because the single flat directory was only writable
with the ioctls.

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.

Yan Zheng 2b82032c34 Btrfs: Seed device support
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.

3) make btrfs_find_block_group not return NULL when all
block groups are read-only.

Josef Bacik f3465ca44e Btrfs: batch extent inserts/updates/deletions on the extent root
While profiling the allocator I noticed a good amount of time was being spent in
finish_current_insert and del_pending_extents, and as the filesystem filled up
more and more time was being spent in those functions.  This patch aims to try
and reduce that problem.  This happens two ways

1) track if we tried to delete an extent that we are going to update or insert.
Once we get into finish_current_insert we discard any of the extents that were
marked for deletion.  This saves us from doing unnecessary work almost every
time finish_current_insert runs.

2) Batch insertion/updates/deletions.  Instead of doing a btrfs_search_slot for
each individual extent and doing the needed operation, we instead keep the leaf
around and see if there is anything else we can do on that leaf.  On the insert
case I introduced a btrfs_insert_some_items, which will take an array of keys
with an array of data_sizes and try and squeeze in as many of those keys as
possible, and then return how many keys it was able to insert.  In the update
case we search for an extent ref, update the ref and then loop through the leaf
to see if any of the other refs we are looking to update are on that leaf, and
then once we are done we release the path and search for the next ref we need to
update.  And finally for the deletion we try and delete the extent+ref in pairs,
so we will try to find extent+ref pairs next to the extent we are trying to free
and free them in bulk if possible.

This along with the other cluster fix that Chris pushed out a bit ago helps make
the allocator preform more uniformly as it fills up the disk.  There is still a
slight drop as we fill up the disk since we start having to stick new blocks in
odd places which results in more COW's than on a empty fs, but the drop is not
nearly as severe as it was before.

Chris Mason 771ed689d2 Btrfs: Optimize compressed writeback and reads
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
update the wbc nr_written count.
