Jeff Mahoney 79787eaab4 btrfs: replace many BUG_ONs with proper error handling
btrfs currently handles most errors with BUG_ON. This patch is a work-in-
 progress but aims to handle most errors other than internal logic
 errors and ENOMEM more gracefully.

 This iteration prevents most crashes but can run into lockups with
 the page lock on occasion when the timing "works out."

Chris Mason 2115133f8b Btrfs: tweak the delayed inode reservations again
Josef sent along an incremental to the inode reservation
code to make sure we try and fall back to directly updating
the inode item if things go horribly wrong.

This reworks that patch slightly, adding a fallback function
that will always try to update the inode item directly without
going through the delayed_inode code.

Josef Bacik 7fd2ae21a4 Btrfs: fix our reservations for updating an inode when completing io
People have been reporting ENOSPC crashes in finish_ordered_io.  This is because
we try to steal from the delalloc block rsv to satisfy a reservation to update
the inode.  The problem with this is we don't explicitly save space for updating
the inode when doing delalloc.  This is kind of a problem and we've gotten away
with this because way back when we just stole from the delalloc reserve without
any questions, and this worked out fine because generally speaking the leaf had
been modified either by the mtime update when we did the original write or
because we just updated the leaf when we inserted the file extent item, only on
rare occasions had the leaf not actually been modified, and that was still ok
because we'd just use a block or two out of the over-reservation that is
delalloc.

Then came the delayed inode stuff.  This is amazing, except it wants a full
reservation for updating the inode since it may do it at some point down the
road after we've written the blocks and we have to recow everything again.  This
worked out because the delayed inode stuff just stole from the global reserve,
that is until recently when I changed that because it caused other problems.

So here we are, we're doing everything right and being screwed for it.  So take
an extra reservation for the inode at delalloc reservation time and carry it
through the life of the delalloc reservation.  If we need it we can steal it in
the delayed inode stuff.  If we have already stolen it try and do a normal
metadata reservation.  If that fails try to steal from the delalloc reservation.
If _that_ fails we'll get a WARN_ON() so I can start thinking of a better way to
solve this and in the meantime we'll steal from the global reserve.

With this patch I ran xfstests 13 in a loop for a couple of hours and didn't see
any problems.

Josef Bacik c06a0e120a Btrfs: fix delayed insertion reservation
We all keep getting those stupid warnings from use_block_rsv when running
stress.sh, and it's because the delayed insertion stuff is being stupid.  It's
not the delayed insertion stuffs fault, it's all just stupid.  When marking an
inode dirty for oh say updating the time on it, we just do a
btrfs_join_transaction, which doesn't reserve any space.  This is stupid because
we're going to have to have space reserve to make this change, but we do it
because it's fast because chances are we're going to call it over and over again
and it doesn't matter.  Well thanks to the delayed insertion stuff this is
mostly the case, so we do actually need to make this reservation.  So if
trans->bytes_reserved is 0 then try to do a normal reservation.  If not return
ENOSPC which will make the btrfs_dirty_inode start a proper transaction which
will let it do the whole ENOSPC dance and reserve enough space for the delayed
insertion to steal the reservation from the transaction.

The other stupid thing we do is not reserve space for the inode when writing to
the thing.  Usually this is ok since we have to update the time so we'd have
already done all this work before we get to the endio stuff, so it doesn't
matter.  But this is stupid because we could write the data after the
transaction commits where we changed the mtime of the inode so we have to cow
all the way down to the inode anyway.  This used to be masked by the delalloc
reservation stuff, but because we delay the update it doesn't get masked in this
case.  So again the delayed insertion stuff bites us in the ass.  So if our
trans->block_rsv is delalloc, just steal the reservation from the delalloc
reserve.  Hopefully this won't bite us in the ass, but I've said that before.

With this patch stress.sh no longer spits out those stupid warnings (famous last
words).  Thanks,

Josef Bacik 6d668dda0c Btrfs: make a delayed_block_rsv for the delayed item insertion
I've been hitting warnings in use_block_rsv when running the delayed insertion
stuff.  It's because we will readjust global block rsv based on what is in use,
which means we could end up discarding reservations that are for the delayed
insertion stuff.  So instead create a seperate block rsv for the delayed
insertion stuff.  This will also make it easier to debug problems with the
delayed insertion reservations since we will know that only the delayed
insertion code touches this block_rsv.  Thanks,

Chris Mason bd681513fa Btrfs: switch the btrfs tree locks to reader/writer
The btrfs metadata btree is the source of significant
lock contention, especially in the root node.   This
commit changes our locking to use a reader/writer
lock.

The lock is built on top of rw spinlocks, and it
extends the lock tracking to remember if we have a
read lock or a write lock when we go to blocking.  Atomics
count the number of blocking readers or writers at any
given time.

It removes all of the adaptive spinning from the old code
and uses only the spinning/blocking hints inside of btrfs
to decide when it should continue spinning.

In read heavy workloads this is dramatically faster.  In write
heavy workloads we're still faster because of less contention
on the root node lock.

We suffer slightly in dbench because we schedule more often
during write locks, but all other benchmarks so far are improved.

Miao Xie 2f7e33d432 btrfs: fix inconsonant inode information
When iputting the inode, We may leave the delayed nodes if they have some
delayed items that have not been dealt with. So when the inode is read again,

cause that the same directory index number is allocated again, and hit the

Chris Mason e999376f09 Btrfs: avoid delayed metadata items during commits
Snapshot creation has two phases.  One is the initial snapshot setup,
and the second is done during commit, while nobody is allowed to modify
the root we are snapshotting.

The delayed metadata insertion code can break that rule, it does a
delayed inode update on the inode of the parent of the snapshot,
and delayed directory item insertion.

This makes sure to run the pending delayed operations before we
record the snapshot root, which avoids corruptions.

Miao Xie 16cdcec736 btrfs: implement delayed inode items operation
Changelog V5 -> V6:
- Fix oom when the memory load is high, by storing the delayed nodes into the
  root's radix tree, and letting btrfs inodes go.

Changelog V4 -> V5:
- Fix the race on adding the delayed node to the inode, which is spotted by
  Chris Mason.
- Merge Chris Mason's incremental patch into this patch.
- Fix deadlock between readdir() and memory fault, which is reported by
  Itaru Kitayama.

Changelog V3 -> V4:
- Fix nested lock, which is reported by Itaru Kitayama, by updating space cache
  inode in time.

Changelog V2 -> V3:
- Fix the race between the delayed worker and the task which does delayed items
  balance, which is reported by Tsutomu Itoh.
- Modify the patch address David Sterba's comment.
- Fix the bug of the cpu recursion spinlock, reported by Chris Mason

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%.
