One problem that has plagued us is that a user will use up all of his space with
data, remove a bunch of that data, and then try to create a bunch of small files
and run out of space. This happens because all the chunks were allocated for
data since the metadata requirements were so low. But now there's a bunch of
empty data block groups and not enough metadata space to do anything. This
patch solves this problem by automatically deleting empty block groups. If we
notice the used count go down to 0 when deleting or on mount notice that a block
group has a used count of 0 then we will queue it to be deleted.
When the cleaner thread runs we will double check to make sure the block group
is still empty and then we will delete it. This patch has the side effect of no
longer having a bunch of BUG_ON()'s in the chunk delete code, which will be
helpful for both this and relocate. Thanks,

While under random IO, a block group's free space cache eventually reaches
a state where it has a mix of extent entries and bitmap entries representing
free space regions.
As later free space regions are returned to the cache, some of them are merged
with existing extent entries if they are contiguous with them. But others are
not merged, because despite the existence of adjacent free space regions in
the cache, the merging doesn't happen because the existing free space regions
are represented in bitmap extents. Even when new free space regions are merged
with existing extent entries (enlarging the free space range they represent),
we create chances of having after an enlarged region that is contiguous with
some other region represented in a bitmap entry.
Both clustered and non-clustered space allocation work by iterating over our
extent and bitmap entries and skipping any that represents a region smaller
then the allocation request (and giving preference to extent entries before
bitmap entries). By having a contiguous free space region that is represented
by 2 (or more) entries (mix of extent and bitmap entries), we end up not
satisfying an allocation request with a size larger than the size of any of
the entries but no larger than the sum of their sizes. Making the caller assume
we're under a ENOSPC condition or force it to allocate multiple smaller space
regions (as we do for file data writes), which adds extra overhead and more
chances of causing fragmentation due to the smaller regions being all spread
apart from each other (more likely when under concurrency).
For example, if we have the following in the cache:
* extent entry representing free space range: [128Mb - 256Kb, 128Mb[
* bitmap entry covering the range [128Mb, 256Mb[, but only with the bits
representing the range [128Mb, 128Mb + 768Kb[ set - that is, only that
space in this 128Mb area is marked as free
An allocation request for 1Mb, starting at offset not greater than 128Mb - 256Kb,
would fail before, despite the existence of such contiguous free space area in the
cache. The caller could only allocate up to 768Kb of space at once and later another
256Kb (or vice-versa). In between each smaller allocation request, another task
working on a different file/inode might come in and take that space, preventing the
former task of getting a contiguous 1Mb region of free space.
Therefore this change implements the ability to move free space from bitmap
entries into existing and new free space regions represented with extent
entries. This is done when a space region is added to the cache.
A test was added to the sanity tests that explains in detail the issue too.

This exercises the various parts of the new qgroup accounting code. We do some
basic stuff and do some things with the shared refs to make sure all that code
works. I had to add a bunch of infrastructure because I needed to be able to
insert items into a fake tree without having to do all the hard work myself,
hopefully this will be usefull in the future. Thanks,

Pull btrfs updates from Chris Mason:
"This is a pretty big pull, and most of these changes have been
floating in btrfs-next for a long time. Filipe's properties work is a
cool building block for inheriting attributes like compression down on
a per inode basis.
Jeff Mahoney kicked in code to export filesystem info into sysfs.
Otherwise, lots of performance improvements, cleanups and bug fixes.
Looks like there are still a few other small pending incrementals, but
I wanted to get the bulk of this in first"

I'm going to be removing hole extents in the near future so I wanted to make a
sanity test for btrfs_get_extent to make sure I don't break anything in the
meantime. This patch just puts btrfs_get_extent through its paces by giving it
a completely unreasonable mapping to look at and make sure it is giving us back
maps that make sense. Thanks,

So both Liu and I made huge messes of find_lock_delalloc_range trying to fix
stuff, me first by fixing extent size, then him by fixing something I broke and
then me again telling him to fix it a different way. So this is obviously a
candidate for some testing. This patch adds a pseudo fs so we can allocate fake
inodes for tests that need an inode or pages. Then it addes a bunch of tests to
make sure find_lock_delalloc_range is acting the way it is supposed to. With
this patch and all of our previous patches to find_lock_delalloc_range I am sure
it is working as expected now. Thanks,

While looking at somebodys corruption I became completely convinced that

The plan is to have a bunch of unit tests that run when btrfs is loaded when you
build with the appropriate config option. My ultimate goal is to have a test
for every non-static function we have, but at first I'm going to focus on the
things that cause us the most problems. To start out with this just adds a
tests/ directory and moves the existing free space cache tests into that
directory and sets up all of the infrastructure. Thanks,
