Miao Xie 5a6ac9eacb Btrfs, raid56: support parity scrub on raid56
The implementation is:
- Read and check all the data with checksum in the same stripe.
  All the data which has checksum is COW data, and we are sure
  that it is not changed though we don't lock the stripe. because
  the space of that data just can be reclaimed after the current
  transction is committed, and then the fs can use it to store the
  other data, but when doing scrub, we hold the current transaction,
  that is that data can not be recovered, it is safe that read and check
  it out of the stripe lock.
- Lock the stripe
- Read out all the data without checksum and parity
  The data without checksum and the parity may be changed if we don't
  lock the stripe, so we need read it in the stripe lock context.
- Check the parity
- Re-calculate the new parity and write back it if the old parity
  is not right
- Unlock the stripe

If we can not read out the data or the data we read is corrupted,
we will try to repair it. If the repair fails. we will mark the
horizontal sub-stripe(pages on the same horizontal) as corrupted
sub-stripe, and we will skip the parity check and repair of that
horizontal sub-stripe.

And in order to skip the horizontal sub-stripe that has no data, we
introduce a bitmap. If there is some data on the horizontal sub-stripe,
we will the relative bit to 1, and when we check and repair the
parity, we will skip those horizontal sub-stripes that the relative
bits is 0.

Miao Xie 1b94b5567e Btrfs, raid56: use a variant to record the operation type
We will introduce new operation type later, if we still use integer
variant as bool variant to record the operation type, we would add new
variant and increase the size of raid bio structure. It is not good,
by this patch, we define different number for different operation,
and we can just use a variant to record the operation type.

Miao Xie af8e2d1df9 Btrfs, scrub: repair the common data on RAID5/6 if it is corrupted
This patch implement the RAID5/6 common data repair function, the
implementation is similar to the scrub on the other RAID such as
RAID1, the differentia is that we don't read the data from the
mirror, we use the data repair function of RAID5/6.

Miao Xie b89e1b012c Btrfs, raid56: don't change bbio and raid_map
Because we will reuse bbio and raid_map during the scrub later, it is
better that we don't change any variant of bbio and don't free it at
the end of IO request. So we introduced similar variants into the raid
bio, and don't access those bbio's variants any more.

David Sterba ed6078f703 btrfs: use DIV_ROUND_UP instead of open-coded variants
The form

  (value + PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1) >> PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT

is equivalent to

  (value + PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - 1) / PAGE_CACHE_SIZE

The rest is a simple subsitution, no difference in the generated
assembly code.

Liu Bo 9e0af23764 Btrfs: fix task hang under heavy compressed write
This has been reported and discussed for a long time, and this hang occurs in
both 3.15 and 3.16.

Btrfs now migrates to use kernel workqueue, but it introduces this hang problem.

Btrfs has a kind of work queued as an ordered way, which means that its
ordered_func() must be processed in the way of FIFO, so it usually looks like --

normal_work_helper(arg)
    work = container_of(arg, struct btrfs_work, normal_work);

    work->func() <---- (we name it work X)
    for ordered_work in wq->ordered_list
            ordered_work->ordered_func()
            ordered_work->ordered_free()

The hang is a rare case, first when we find free space, we get an uncached block
group, then we go to read its free space cache inode for free space information,
so it will

file a readahead request
    btrfs_readpages()
         for page that is not in page cache
                __do_readpage()
                     submit_extent_page()
                           btrfs_submit_bio_hook()
                                 btrfs_bio_wq_end_io()
                                 submit_bio()
                                 end_workqueue_bio() <--(ret by the 1st endio)
                                      queue a work(named work Y) for the 2nd
                                      also the real endio()

So the hang occurs when work Y's work_struct and work X's work_struct happens
to share the same address.

A bit more explanation,

A,B,C -- struct btrfs_work
arg   -- struct work_struct

kthread:
worker_thread()
    pick up a work_struct from @worklist
    process_one_work(arg)
	worker->current_work = arg;  <-- arg is A->normal_work
	worker->current_func(arg)
		normal_work_helper(arg)
		     A = container_of(arg, struct btrfs_work, normal_work);

		     A->func()
		     A->ordered_func()
		     A->ordered_free()  <-- A gets freed

		     B->ordered_func()
			  submit_compressed_extents()
			      find_free_extent()
				  load_free_space_inode()
				      ...   <-- (the above readhead stack)
				      end_workqueue_bio()
					   btrfs_queue_work(work C)
		     B->ordered_free()

As if work A has a high priority in wq->ordered_list and there are more ordered
works queued after it, such as B->ordered_func(), its memory could have been
freed before normal_work_helper() returns, which means that kernel workqueue
code worker_thread() still has worker->current_work pointer to be work
A->normal_work's, ie. arg's address.

Meanwhile, work C is allocated after work A is freed, work C->normal_work
and work A->normal_work are likely to share the same address(I confirmed this
with ftrace output, so I'm not just guessing, it's rare though).

When another kthread picks up work C->normal_work to process, and finds our
kthread is processing it(see find_worker_executing_work()), it'll think
work C as a collision and skip then, which ends up nobody processing work C.

So the situation is that our kthread is waiting forever on work C.

Besides, there're other cases that can lead to deadlock, but the real problem
is that all btrfs workqueue shares one work->func, -- normal_work_helper,
so this makes each workqueue to have its own helper function, but only a
wraper pf normal_work_helper.

With this patch, I no long hit the above hang.

Since the "_struct" suffix is mainly used for distinguish the differnt
btrfs_work between the original and the newly created one,
there is no need using the suffix since all btrfs_workers are changed
into btrfs_workqueue.

Also this patch fixed some codes whose code style is changed due to the
too long "_struct" suffix.

free "raid_map" and "bbio" on error if other errors occur though, so I

Chris Mason 9be3395bcd Btrfs: use a btrfs bioset instead of abusing bio internals
Btrfs has been pointer tagging bi_private and using bi_bdev
to store the stripe index and mirror number of failed IOs.

As bios bubble back up through the call chain, we use these
to decide if and how to retry our IOs.  They are also used
to count IO failures on a per device basis.

Recently a bio tracepoint was added lead to crashes because
we were abusing bi_bdev.

This commit adds a btrfs bioset, and creates explicit fields
for the mirror number and stripe index.  The plan is to
extend this structure for all of the fields currently in
struct btrfs_bio, which will mean one less kmalloc in
our IO path.

Chris Mason 6ac0f4884e Btrfs: add a plugging callback to raid56 writes
Buffered writes and DIRECT_IO writes will often break up
big contiguous changes to the file into sub-stripe writes.

This adds a plugging callback to gather those smaller writes full stripe
writes.

Example on flash:

fio job to do 64K writes in batches of 3 (which makes a full stripe):

With plugging: 450MB/s
Without plugging: 220MB/s

Chris Mason 4ae10b3a13 Btrfs: Add a stripe cache to raid56
The stripe cache allows us to avoid extra read/modify/write cycles
by caching the pages we read off the disk.  Pages are cached when:

* They are read in during a read/modify/write cycle

* They are written during a read/modify/write cycle

* They are involved in a parity rebuild

Pages are not cached if we're doing a full stripe write.  We're
assuming that a full stripe write won't be followed by another
partial stripe write any time soon.

This provides a substantial boost in performance for workloads that
synchronously modify adjacent offsets in the file, and for the parity
rebuild use case in general.

The size of the stripe cache isn't tunable (yet) and is set at 1024
entries.

Example on flash: dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/xxx bs=4K oflag=direct

Without the stripe cache  -- 2.1MB/s
With the stripe cache 21MB/s

David Woodhouse 53b381b3ab Btrfs: RAID5 and RAID6
This builds on David Woodhouse's original Btrfs raid5/6 implementation.
The code has changed quite a bit, blame Chris Mason for any bugs.

Read/modify/write is done after the higher levels of the filesystem have
prepared a given bio.  This means the higher layers are not responsible
for building full stripes, and they don't need to query for the topology
of the extents that may get allocated during delayed allocation runs.
It also means different files can easily share the same stripe.

But, it does expose us to incorrect parity if we crash or lose power
while doing a read/modify/write cycle.  This will be addressed in a
later commit.

Scrub is unable to repair crc errors on raid5/6 chunks.

Discard does not work on raid5/6 (yet)

The stripe size is fixed at 64KiB per disk.  This will be tunable
in a later commit.
