If we had reserved some bytes in struct btrfs_ioctl_vol_args, we
wouldn't have to create a new structure for async snapshot creation.
Here we convert async snapshot ioctl to use a more generic ABI, as
we'll add more ioctls for snapshots/subvolumes in the future, readonly
snapshots for example.

Create a snap without waiting for it to commit to disk. The ioctl is
ordered such that subsequent operations will not be contained by the
created snapshot, and the commit is initiated, but the ioctl does not
wait for the snapshot to commit to disk.
We return the specific transid to userspace so that an application can wait
for this specific snapshot creation to commit via the WAIT_SYNC ioctl.

START_SYNC will start a sync/commit, but not wait for it to
complete. Any modification started after the ioctl returns is
guaranteed not to be included in the commit. If a non-NULL
pointer is passed, the transaction id will be returned to
userspace.
WAIT_SYNC will wait for any in-progress commit to complete. If a
transaction id is specified, the ioctl will block and then
return (success) when the specified transaction has committed.
If it has already committed when we call the ioctl, it returns
immediately. If the specified transaction doesn't exist, it
returns EINVAL.
If no transaction id is specified, WAIT_SYNC will wait for the
currently committing transaction to finish it's commit to disk.
If there is no currently committing transaction, it returns
success.
These ioctls are useful for applications which want to impose an
ordering on when fs modifications reach disk, but do not want to
wait for the full (slow) commit process to do so.
Picky callers can take the transid returned by START_SYNC and
feed it to WAIT_SYNC, and be certain to wait only as long as
necessary for the transaction _they_ started to reach disk.
Sloppy callers can START_SYNC and WAIT_SYNC without a transid,
and provided they didn't wait too long between the calls, they
will get the same result. However, if a second commit starts
before they call WAIT_SYNC, they may end up waiting longer for
it to commit as well. Even so, a START_SYNC+WAIT_SYNC still
guarantees that any operation completed before the START_SYNC
reaches disk.

df is a very loaded question in btrfs. This gives us a way to get the per-space
usage information so we can tell exactly what is in use where. This will help
us figure out ENOSPC problems, and help users better understand where their disk
space is going.

The btrfs defrag ioctl was limited to doing the entire file. This
commit adds a new interface that can defrag a specific range inside
the file.
It can also force compression on the file, allowing you to selectively
compress individual files after they were created, even when mount -o
compress isn't turned on.

This patch needs to go along with my previous patch. This lets us set the
default dir item's location to whatever root we want to use as our default
mounting subvol. With this we don't have to use mount -o subvol=<tree id>
anymore to mount a different subvol, we can just set the new one and it will
just magically work. I've done some moderate testing with this, mostly just
switching the default mount around, mounting subvols and the default mount at
the same time and such, everything seems to work. Thanks,
Older kernels would generally be able to still mount the filesystem with the
default subvolume set, but it would result in a different volume being mounted,
which could be an even more unpleasant suprise for users. So if you set your
default subvolume, you can't go back to older kernels. Thanks,

The search ioctl is a generic tool for doing btree searches from
userland applications. The first user of the search ioctl is a
subvolume listing feature, but we'll also use it to find new
files in a subvolume.
The search ioctl allows you to specify min and max keys to search for,
along with min and max transid. It returns the items along with a
header that includes the item key.

The structure used to send device in btrfs ioctl calls was not
properly aligned, and so 32 bit ioctls would not work properly on
64 bit kernels.
We could fix this with compat ioctls, but we're just one byte away
and it doesn't make sense at this stage to carry about the compat ioctls
forever at this stage in the project.
This patch brings the ioctl arg up to an evenly aligned 4k.

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.

This patch adds an additional CLONE_RANGE ioctl to clone an arbitrary
(block-aligned) file range to another file. The original CLONE ioctl
becomes a special case of cloning the entire file range. The logic is a
bit more complex now since ranges may be cloned to different offsets, and
because we may only be cloning the beginning or end of a particular extent
or checksum item.
An additional sanity check ensures the source and destination files aren't
the same (which would previously deadlock), although eventually this could
be extended to allow the duplication of file data at a different offset
within the same file.
Any extents within the destination range in the target file are dropped.
We currently do not cope with the case where a compressed inline extent
needs to be split. This will probably require decompressing the extent
into a temporary address_space, and inserting just the cloned portion as a
new compressed inline extent. For now, just return -EINVAL in this case.
Note that this never comes up in the more common case of cloning an entire
file.

These ioctls let a user application hold a transaction open while it
performs a series of operations. A final ioctl does a sync on the fs
(closing the current transaction). This is the main requirement for
Ceph's OSD to be able to keep the data it's storing in a btrfs volume
consistent, and AFAICS it works just fine. The application would do
something like
fd = ::open("some/file", O_RDONLY);
::ioctl(fd, BTRFS_IOC_TRANS_START);
/* do a bunch of stuff */
::ioctl(fd, BTRFS_IOC_TRANS_END);
or just
::close(fd);
And to ensure it commits to disk,
::ioctl(fd, BTRFS_IOC_SYNC);
When a transaction is held open, the trans_handle is attached to the
struct file (via private_data) so that it will get cleaned up if the
process dies unexpectedly. A held transaction is also ended on fsync() to
avoid a deadlock.
A misbehaving application could also deliberately hold a transaction open,
effectively locking up the FS, so it may make sense to restrict something
like this to root or something.

This adds two types of btree defrag, a run time form that tries to
defrag recently allocated blocks in the btree when they are still in ram,
and an ioctl that forces defrag of all btree blocks.
File data blocks are not defragged yet, but this can make a huge difference
in sequential btree reads.
