This has been causing a lot of confusion for quite a while now and a lot
of users were surprised by this (some of them were even stuck in a

of restriper gives users a clear choice between raid0 and drive concat

Since we need to read and write extent buffers in their entirety we can't use
the normal bio_readpage_error stuff since it only works on a per page basis. So
instead make it so that if we see an io error in endio we just mark the eb as
having an IO error and then in btree_read_extent_buffer_pages we will manually
try other mirrors and then overwrite the bad mirror if we find a good copy.
This works with larger than page size blocks. Thanks,

btrfs_search_slot sometimes needs write locks on high levels of
the tree. It remembers the highest level that needs a write lock
and will use that for all future searches through the tree in a given
call.
But, very often we'll just cow the top level or the level below and we
won't really need write locks on the root again after that. This patch
changes things to adjust the write lock requirement as it unlocks
levels.

This patch simplifies how we track our extent buffers. Previously we could exit
writepages with only having written half of an extent buffer, which meant we had
to track the state of the pages and the state of the extent buffers differently.
Now we only read in entire extent buffers and write out entire extent buffers,
this allows us to simply set bits in our bflags to indicate the state of the eb
and we no longer have to do things like track uptodate with our iotree. Thanks,

Because an eb can have multiple pages we need to make sure that all pages within
the eb are markes as accessed, since releasepage can be called against any page
in the eb. This will keep us from possibly evicting hot eb's when we're doing
larger than pagesize eb's. Thanks,
Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com>
Because btrfs cow's we can end up with extent buffers that are no longer
necessary just sitting around in memory. So instead of evicting these pages, we
could end up evicting things we actually care about. Thus we have
free_extent_buffer_stale for use when we are freeing tree blocks. This will
make it so that the ref for the eb being in the radix tree is dropped as soon as
possible and then is freed when the refcount hits 0 instead of waiting to be
released by releasepage. Thanks,
Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com>
We can run into a problem where we find an eb for our existing page already on
the radix tree but it has a ref count of 0. It hasn't yet been removed by RCU
yet so this can cause issues where we will use the EB after free. So do
atomic_inc_not_zero on the exists->refs and if it is zero just do
synchronize_rcu() and try again. We won't have to worry about new allocators
coming in since they will block on the page lock at this point. Thanks,
Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com>
We spend a lot of time looking up extent buffers from pages when we could just
store the pointer to the eb the page is associated with in page->private. This
patch does just that, and it makes things a little simpler and reduces a bit of
CPU overhead involved with doing metadata IO. Thanks,
Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com>
A few years ago the btrfs code to support blocks lager than
the page size was disabled to fix a few corner cases in the
page cache handling. This fixes the code to properly support
large metadata blocks again.
Since current kernels will crash early and often with larger
metadata blocks, this adds an incompat bit so that older kernels
can't mount it.
This also does away with different blocksizes for nodes and leaves.
You get a single block size for all tree blocks.

Commit 28d82dc1c4 ("epoll: limit paths") that I did to limit the
number of possible wakeup paths in epoll is causing a few applications
to longer work (dovecot for one).
The original patch is really about limiting the amount of epoll nesting
(since epoll fds can be attached to other fds). Thus, we probably can
allow an unlimited number of paths of depth 1. My current patch limits
it at 1000. And enforce the limits on paths that have a greater depth.

C6X: remove dead code from entry.S
When writing files to afs I sometimes hit a BUG:
kernel BUG at fs/afs/rxrpc.c:179!
With a backtrace of:
afs_free_call
afs_make_call
afs_fs_store_data
afs_vnode_store_data
afs_write_back_from_locked_page
afs_writepages_region
afs_writepages
The cause is:
ASSERT(skb_queue_empty(&call->rx_queue));
Looking at a tcpdump of the session the abort happens because we
are exceeding our disk quota:
rx abort fs reply store-data error diskquota exceeded (32)
So the abort error is valid. We hit the BUG because we haven't
freed all the resources for the call.
By freeing any skbs in call->rx_queue before calling afs_free_call
we avoid hitting leaking memory and avoid hitting the BUG.

A read of a large file on an afs mount failed:

...
if (call->offset < count) {
if (last) {

This reverts commit d47a0ac7b6 (sch_sfq: dont put new flow at the end of
flows)
As Jesper found out, patch sounded great but has bad side effects.
In stress situation, pushing new flows in front of the queue can prevent
old flows doing any progress. Packets can stay in SFQ queue for
unlimited amount of time.
It's possible to add heuristics to limit this problem, but this would
add complexity outside of SFQ scope.
A more sensible answer to Dave Taht concerns (who reported the issued I
tried to solve in original commit) is probably to use a qdisc hierarchy
so that high prio packets dont enter a potentially crowded SFQ qdisc.
