Julia Lawall 631c07c8d1 Btrfs: Correct redundant test in add_inode_ref
dir has already been tested.  It seems that this test should be on the
recently returned value inode.

A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as

Chris Mason 9779b72f05 Btrfs: find smallest available device extent during chunk allocation
Allocating new block group is easy when the disk has plenty of space.
But things get difficult as the disk fills up, especially if
the FS has been run through btrfs-vol -b.  The balance operation
is likely to make the total bytes available on the device greater
than the largest extent we'll actually be able to allocate.

But the device extent allocation code incorrectly assumes that a device
with 5G free will be able to allocate a 5G extent.  It isn't normally a
problem because device extents don't get freed unless btrfs-vol -b
is run.

This fixes the device extent allocator to remember the largest free
extent it can find, and then uses that value as a fallback.

Chris Mason 283bb1979f Btrfs: clear all space_info->full after removing a block group
Btrfs allocates individual extents from block groups, and each
block group has a specific type.  It may hold metadata, data
mirrored or striped etc.

When we balance space (btrfs-vol -b) or remove a drive (btrfs-vol -r)
we free block groups.  Once a block group is freed, the space it was
using on the device may be available for use by new block groups.

btrfs_remove_block_group was clearing the flag that said
'our devices are full, don't even try to allocate new block groups',
but it was only clearing that flag for a specific type of block group.

This commit clears the full flag for all of the types of block groups,
making it much more likely that we'll be able to balance space when
the drive is close to full.

Sage Weil ebecd3d9d2 Btrfs: make flushoncommit mount option correctly wait on ordered_extents
The commit_transaction call to wait_ordered_extents when snap_pending
passes nocow_only=1 to process only NOCOW or PREALLOC extents.  This isn't
correct for the 'flushoncommit' mode, as it skips extents we just started
IO on in start_delalloc_inodes.

So, in the flushoncommit case, wait on all ordered extents.  Otherwise,
only pass the nocow_only flag to wait_ordered_extents if snap_pending.

Josef Bacik 817d52f8db Btrfs: async block group caching
This patch moves the caching of the block group off to a kthread in order to
allow people to allocate sooner.  Instead of blocking up behind the caching
mutex, we instead kick of the caching kthread, and then attempt to make an
allocation.  If we cannot, we wait on the block groups caching waitqueue, which
the caching kthread will wake the waiting threads up everytime it finds 2 meg
worth of space, and then again when its finished caching.  This is how I tested
the speedup from this

mkfs the disk
mount the disk
fill the disk up with fs_mark
unmount the disk
mount the disk
time touch /mnt/foo

Without my changes this took 11 seconds on my box, with these changes it now
takes 1 second.

Another change thats been put in place is we lock the super mirror's in the
pinned extent map in order to keep us from adding that stuff as free space when
caching the block group.  This doesn't really change anything else as far as the
pinned extent map is concerned, since for actual pinned extents we use
EXTENT_DIRTY, but it does mean that when we unmount we have to go in and unlock
those extents to keep from leaking memory.

I've also added a check where when we are reading block groups from disk, if the
amount of space used == the size of the block group, we go ahead and mark the
block group as cached.  This drastically reduces the amount of time it takes to
cache the block groups.  Using the same test as above, except doing a dd to a
file and then unmounting, it used to take 33 seconds to umount, now it takes 3
seconds.

This version uses the commit_root in the caching kthread, and then keeps track
of how many async caching threads are running at any given time so if one of the
async threads is still running as we cross transactions we can wait until its
finished before handling the pinned extents.  Thank you,

Josef Bacik 9630308170 Btrfs: use hybrid extents+bitmap rb tree for free space
Currently btrfs has a problem where it can use a ridiculous amount of RAM simply
tracking free space.  As free space gets fragmented, we end up with thousands of
entries on an rb-tree per block group, which usually spans 1 gig of area.  Since
we currently don't ever flush free space cache back to disk this gets to be a
bit unweildly on large fs's with lots of fragmentation.

This patch solves this problem by using PAGE_SIZE bitmaps for parts of the free
space cache.  Initially we calculate a threshold of extent entries we can
handle, which is however many extent entries we can cram into 16k of ram.  The
maximum amount of RAM that should ever be used to track 1 gigabyte of diskspace
will be 32k of RAM, which scales much better than we did before.

Once we pass the extent threshold, we start adding bitmaps and using those
instead for tracking the free space.  This patch also makes it so that any free
space thats less than 4 * sectorsize we go ahead and put into a bitmap.  This is
nice since we try and allocate out of the front of a block group, so if the
front of a block group is heavily fragmented and then has a huge chunk of free
space at the end, we go ahead and add the fragmented areas to bitmaps and use a
normal extent entry to track the big chunk at the back of the block group.

I've also taken the opportunity to revamp how we search for free space.
Previously we indexed free space via an offset indexed rb tree and a bytes
indexed rb tree.  I've dropped the bytes indexed rb tree and use only the offset
indexed rb tree.  This cuts the number of tree operations we were doing
previously down by half, and gives us a little bit of a better allocation
pattern since we will always start from a specific offset and search forward
from there, instead of searching for the size we need and try and get it as
close as possible to the offset we want.

I've given this a healthy amount of testing pre-new format stuff, as well as
post-new format stuff.  I've booted up my fedora box which is installed on btrfs
with this patch and ran with it for a few days without issues.  I've not seen
any performance regressions in any of my tests.

Since the last patch Yan Zheng fixed a problem where we could have overlapping
entries, so updating their offset inline would cause problems.  Thanks,

David Woodhouse 3acada49c2 Btrfs: Remove broken sanity check from btrfs_rmap_block()
It was never actually doing anything anyway (see the loop condition),
and it would be difficult to make it work for RAID[56].

Even if it was actually working, it's checking for the wrong thing
anyway. Instead of checking whether we list a block which _doesn't_ land
at the relevant physical location, it should be checking that we _have_
listed all the logical blocks which refer to the required physical
location on all devices.

This function is only called from remove_sb_from_cache() to ensure that
we reserve the logical blocks which would reside at the same physical
location as the superblock copies. So listing more blocks than we need
is actually OK.

With RAID[56] we're going to throw away an entire stripe for each block
we have to ignore, so we _are_ going to list blocks other than the
ones which actually contain the superblock.

Yan Zheng 33c66f430b Btrfs: fix locking issue in btrfs_find_next_key
When walking up the tree, btrfs_find_next_key assumes the upper level tree
block is properly locked. This isn't always true even path->keep_locks is 1.
This is because btrfs_find_next_key may advance path->slots[] several times
instead of only once.

When 'path->slots[level] >= btrfs_header_nritems(path->nodes[level])' is found,
we can't guarantee the original value of 'path->slots[level]' is
'btrfs_header_nritems(path->nodes[level]) - 1'. If it's not, the tree block at
'level + 1' isn't locked.

This patch fixes the issue by explicitly checking the locking state,
re-searching the tree if it's not locked.

Yan Zheng 2c47e605a9 Btrfs: update backrefs while dropping snapshot
The new backref format has restriction on type of backref item.  If a tree
block isn't referenced by its owner tree, full backrefs must be used for the
pointers in it. When a tree block loses its owner tree's reference, backrefs
for the pointers in it should be updated to full backrefs. Current
btrfs_drop_snapshot misses the code that updates backrefs, so it's unsafe for
general use.

problem in the restricted form btrfs_drop_snapshot is used today, but for
general snapshot deletion this update is required.

Chris Mason c289811cc0 Btrfs: autodetect SSD devices
During mount, btrfs will check the queue nonrot flag
for all the devices found in the FS.  If they are all
non-rotating, SSD mode is enabled by default.

If the FS was mounted with -o nossd, the non-rotating
flag is ignored.

Chris Mason 451d7585a8 Btrfs: add mount -o ssd_spread to spread allocations out
Some SSDs perform best when reusing block numbers often, while
others perform much better when clustering strictly allocates
big chunks of unused space.

The default mount -o ssd will find rough groupings of blocks
where there are a bunch of free blocks that might have some
allocated blocks mixed in.

mount -o ssd_spread will make sure there are no allocated blocks
mixed in.  It should perform better on lower end SSDs.

Chris Mason c604480171 Btrfs: avoid allocation clusters that are too spread out
In SSD mode for data, and all the time for metadata the allocator
will try to find a cluster of nearby blocks for allocations.  This
commit adds extra checks to make sure that each free block in the

Chris Mason d644d8a1e3 Btrfs: avoid IO stalls behind congested devices in a multi-device FS
The btrfs IO submission threads try to service a bunch of devices with a small
number of threads.  They do a congestion check to try and avoid waiting
on requests for a busy device.

The checks make sure we've sent a few requests down to a given device just so
that we aren't bouncing between busy devices without actually sending down
any IO.  The counter used to decide if we can switch to the next device
is somewhat overloaded.  It is also being used to decide if we've done
a good batch of requests between the WRITE_SYNC or regular priority lists.
It may get reset to zero often, leaving us hammering on a busy device
instead of moving on to another disk.

This commit adds a new counter for the number of bios sent while
servicing a device.  It doesn't get reset or fiddled with.  On
multi-device filesystems, this fixes IO stalls in streaming
write workloads.

Chris Mason d84275c938 Btrfs: don't allow WRITE_SYNC bios to starve out regular writes
Btrfs uses dedicated threads to submit bios when checksumming is on,
which allows us to make sure the threads dedicated to checksumming don't get
stuck waiting for requests.  For each btrfs device, there are
two lists of bios.  One list is for WRITE_SYNC bios and the other
is for regular priority bios.

The IO submission threads used to process all of the WRITE_SYNC bios first and
then switch to the regular bios.  This commit makes sure we don't completely
starve the regular bios by rotating between the two lists.

WRITE_SYNC bios are still favored 2:1 over the regular bios, and this tries
to run in batches to avoid seeking.  Benchmarking shows this eliminates
stalls during streaming buffered writes on both multi-device and
single device filesystems.

If the regular bios starve, the system can end up with a large amount of ram
pinned down in writeback pages.  If we are a little more fair between the two
classes, we're able to keep throughput up and make progress on the bulk of
our dirty ram.

Chris Mason 585ad2c379 Btrfs: fix metadata dirty throttling limits
Once a metadata block has been written, it must be recowed, so the
btrfs dirty balancing call has a check to make sure a fair amount of metadata
was actually dirty before it started writing it back to disk.

A previous commit had changed the dirty tracking for metadata without
updating the btrfs dirty balancing checks.  This commit switches it
to use the correct counter.

Chris Mason 2c943de6ad Btrfs: reduce mount -o ssd CPU usage
The block allocator in SSD mode will try to find groups of free blocks
that are close together.  This commit makes it loop less on a given
group size before bumping it.

The end result is that we are less likely to fill small holes in the
available free space, but we don't waste as much CPU building the
large cluster used by ssd mode.

Chris Mason b361242102 Btrfs: stop avoiding balancing at the end of the transaction.
When the delayed reference code was added, some checks were added
to avoid extra balancing while the delayed references were being flushed.
This made for less efficient btrees, but it reduced the chances of
loops where no forward progress was made because the balances made
more delayed ref updates.

With the new dead root removal code and the mixed back references,
the extent allocation tree is no longer using precise back refs, and
the delayed reference updates don't carry the risk of looping forever
anymore.  So, the balance avoidance is no longer required.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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