013f1b12f4 Btrfs: make sure the async caching thread advances the key
The async caching thread can end up looping forever if a given
search puts it at the last key in a leaf.  It will end up calling
btrfs_next_leaf and then checking if it needs to politely drop
the read semaphore.

Most of the time this looping isn't noticed because it is able to
make progress the next time around.  But, during log replay,
we wait on the async caching thread to finish, and the async thread
is waiting on the commit, and no progress is really made.

The fix used here is to copy the key out of the next leaf,
that way our search lands there properly.

f36f3042ea Btrfs: be more polite in the async caching threads
The semaphore used by the async caching threads can prevent a
transaction commit, which can make the FS appear to stall.  This
releases the semaphore more often when a transaction commit is
in progress.

276e680d19 Btrfs: preserve commit_root for async caching
The async block group caching code uses the commit_root pointer
to get a stable version of the extent allocation tree for scanning.
This copy of the tree root isn't going to change and it significantly
reduces the complexity of the scanning code.

During a commit, we have a loop where we update the extent allocation
tree root.  We need to loop because updating the root pointer in
the tree of tree roots may allocate blocks which may change the
extent allocation tree.

Right now the commit_root pointer is changed inside this loop.  It
is more correct to change the commit_root pointer only after all the
looping is done.

68b38550dd Btrfs: change how we unpin extents
We are racy with async block caching and unpinning extents.  This patch makes
things much less complicated by only unpinning the extent if the block group is
cached.  We check the block_group->cached var under the block_group->lock spin
lock.  If it is set to BTRFS_CACHE_FINISHED then we update the pinned counters,
and unpin the extent and add the free space back.  If it is not set to this, we
start the caching of the block group so the next time we unpin extents we can
unpin the extent.  This keeps us from racing with the async caching threads,
lets us kill the fs wide async thread counter, and keeps us from having to set
DELALLOC bits for every extent we hit if there are caching kthreads going.

One thing that needed to be changed was btrfs_free_super_mirror_extents.  Now
instead of just looking for LOCKED extents, we also look for DIRTY extents,
since we could have left some extents pinned in the previous transaction that
will never get freed now that we are unmounting, which would cause us to leak
memory.  So btrfs_free_super_mirror_extents has been changed to
btrfs_free_pinned_extents, and it will clear the extents locked for the super
mirror, and any remaining pinned extents that may be present.  Thank you,

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.

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,

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,

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.

This patch adds backrefs update code to btrfs_drop_snapshot.  It isn't a
problem in the restricted form btrfs_drop_snapshot is used today, but for
general snapshot deletion this update is required.

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.

44fb551163 Btrfs: Fix oops and use after free during space balancing
The btrfs allocator uses list_for_each to walk the available block
groups when searching for free blocks.  It starts off with a hint
to help find the best block group for a given allocation.

The hint is resolved into a block group, but we don't properly check
to make sure the block group we find isn't in the middle of being
freed due to filesystem shrinking or balancing.  If it is being
freed, the list pointers in it are bogus and can't be trusted.  But,
the code happily goes along and uses them in the list_for_each loop,
leading to all kinds of fun.

The fix used here is to check to make sure the block group we find really
is on the list before we use it.  list_del_init is used when removing
it from the list, so we can do a proper check.

The allocation clustering code has a similar bug where it will trust
the block group in the current free space cluster.  If our allocation
flags have changed (going from single spindle dup to raid1 for example)
because the drives in the FS have changed, we're not allowed to use
the old block group any more.

The fix used here is to check the current cluster against the
current allocation flags.

97e728d435 Btrfs: try to keep a healthy ratio of metadata vs data block groups
This patch makes the chunk allocator keep a good ratio of metadata vs data
block groups.  By default for every 8 data block groups, we'll allocate 1
metadata chunk, or about 12% of the disk will be allocated for metadata.  This
can be changed by specifying the metadata_ratio mount option.

This is simply the number of data block groups that have to be allocated to
force a metadata chunk allocation.  By making sure we allocate metadata chunks
more often, we are less likely to get into situations where the whole disk
has been allocated as data block groups.

fa9c0d795f Btrfs: rework allocation clustering
Because btrfs is copy-on-write, we end up picking new locations for
blocks very often.  This makes it fairly difficult to maintain perfect
read patterns over time, but we can at least do some optimizations
for writes.

This is done today by remembering the last place we allocated and
trying to find a free space hole big enough to hold more than just one
allocation.  The end result is that we tend to write sequentially to
the drive.

This happens all the time for metadata and it happens for data
when mounted -o ssd.  But, the way we record it is fairly racey
and it tends to fragment the free space over time because we are trying
to allocate fairly large areas at once.

This commit gets rid of the races by adding a free space cluster object
with dedicated locking to make sure that only one process at a time
is out replacing the cluster.

The free space fragmentation is somewhat solved by allowing a cluster
to be comprised of smaller free space extents.  This part definitely
adds some CPU time to the cluster allocations, but it allows the allocator
to consume the small holes left behind by cow.

6226cb0a5e Btrfs: kill the block group alloc mutex
This patch removes the block group alloc mutex used to protect the free space
tree for allocations and replaces it with a spin lock which is used only to
protect the free space rb tree.  This means we only take the lock when we are

multi-threaded workloads.

This patch also gets rid of btrfs_find_free_space and replaces it with
btrfs_find_space_for_alloc, which takes the number of bytes you want to
allocate, and empty_size, which is used to indicate how much free space should
be at the end of the allocation.

It will return an offset for the allocator to use.  If we don't end up using it
we _must_ call btrfs_add_free_space to put it back.  This is the tradeoff to
kill the alloc_mutex, since we need to make sure nobody else comes along and
takes our space.

12fcfd22fe Btrfs: tree logging unlink/rename fixes
The tree logging code allows individual files or directories to be logged
without including operations on other files and directories in the FS.
It tries to commit the minimal set of changes to disk in order to
fsync the single file or directory that was sent to fsync or O_SYNC.

The tree logging code was allowing files and directories to be unlinked
if they were part of a rename operation where only one directory
in the rename was in the fsync log.  This patch adds a few new rules
to the tree logging.

1) on rename or unlink, if the inode being unlinked isn't in the fsync
log, we must force a full commit before doing an fsync of the directory
where the unlink was done.  The commit isn't done during the unlink,
but it is forced the next time we try to log the parent directory.

Solution: record transid of last unlink/rename per directory when the
directory wasn't already logged.  For renames this is only done when
renaming to a different directory.

mkdir foo/some_dir
normal commit
rename foo/some_dir foo2/some_dir
mkdir foo/some_dir
fsync foo/some_dir/some_file

The fsync above will unlink the original some_dir without recording
it in its new location (foo2).  After a crash, some_dir will be gone
unless the fsync of some_file forces a full commit

2) we must log any new names for any file or dir that is in the fsync
log.  This way we make sure not to lose files that are unlinked during
the same transaction.

2a) we must log any new names for any file or dir during rename
when the directory they are being removed from was logged.

2a is actually the more important variant.  Without the extra logging
a crash might unlink the old name without recreating the new one

3) after a crash, we must go through any directories with a link count
of zero and redo the rm -rf

mkdir f1/foo
normal commit
rm -rf f1/foo
fsync(f1)

The directory f1 was fully removed from the FS, but fsync was never
called on f1, only its parent dir.  After a crash the rm -rf must
be replayed.  This must be able to recurse down the entire
directory tree.  The inode link count fixup code takes care of the
ugly details.

b9473439d3 Btrfs: leave btree locks spinning more often
btrfs_mark_buffer dirty would set dirty bits in the extent_io tree
for the buffers it was dirtying.  This may require a kmalloc and it
was not atomic.  So, anyone who called btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty had to
set any btree locks they were holding to blocking first.

This commit changes dirty tracking for extent buffers to just use a flag
in the extent buffer.  Now that we have one and only one extent buffer
per page, this can be safely done without losing dirty bits along the way.

This also introduces a path->leave_spinning flag that callers of
btrfs_search_slot can use to indicate they will properly deal with a
path returned where all the locks are spinning instead of blocking.

Many of the btree search callers now expect spinning paths,
resulting in better btree concurrency overall.

b7ec40d784 Btrfs: reduce stalls during transaction commit
To avoid deadlocks and reduce latencies during some critical operations, some
transaction writers are allowed to jump into the running transaction and make
it run a little longer, while others sit around and wait for the commit to
finish.

This is a bit unfair, especially when the callers that jump in do a bunch
of IO that makes all the others procs on the box wait.  This commit
reduces the stalls this produces by pre-reading file extent pointers
during btrfs_finish_ordered_io before the transaction is joined.

It also tunes the drop_snapshot code to politely wait for transactions
that have started writing out their delayed refs to finish.  This avoids
new delayed refs being flooded into the queue while we're trying to
close off the transaction.

c3e69d58e8 Btrfs: process the delayed reference queue in clusters

finding records in the tree that are not currently being processed one at

This is slow because it uses lots of time searching through the rbtree

delayed reference update for the extent.  This checks the delayed
ref tree when things are freed, and if no ref updates area left it
immediately processes the delayed ref.

56bec294de Btrfs: do extent allocation and reference count updates in the background
The extent allocation tree maintains a reference count and full
back reference information for every extent allocated in the
filesystem.  For subvolume and snapshot trees, every time
a block goes through COW, the new copy of the block adds a reference
on every block it points to.

If a btree node points to 150 leaves, then the COW code needs to go
and add backrefs on 150 different extents, which might be spread all
over the extent allocation tree.

These updates currently happen during btrfs_cow_block, and most COWs
happen during btrfs_search_slot.  btrfs_search_slot has locks held
on both the parent and the node we are COWing, and so we really want
to avoid IO during the COW if we can.

This commit adds an rbtree of pending reference count updates and extent
allocations.  The tree is ordered by byte number of the extent and byte number
of the parent for the back reference.  The tree allows us to:

1) Modify back references in something close to disk order, reducing seeks
2) Significantly reduce the number of modifications made as block pointers
are balanced around
3) Do all of the extent insertion and back reference modifications outside
of the performance critical btrfs_search_slot code.

#3 has the added benefit of greatly reducing the btrfs stack footprint.
The extent allocation tree modifications are done without the deep
(and somewhat recursive) call chains used in the past.

These delayed back reference updates must be done before the transaction
commits, and so the rbtree is tied to the transaction.  Throttling is
implemented to help keep the queue of backrefs at a reasonable size.

Since there was a similar mechanism in place for the extent tree
extents, that is removed and replaced by the delayed reference tree.

4184ea7f90 Btrfs: Fix locking around adding new space_info
Storage allocated to different raid levels in btrfs is tracked by
a btrfs_space_info structure, and all of the current space_infos are
collected into a list_head.

Most filesystems have 3 or 4 of these structs total, and the list is
only changed when new raid levels are added or at unmount time.

This commit adds rcu locking on the list head, and properly frees
things at unmount time.  It also clears the space_info->full flag
whenever new space is added to the FS.

The locking for the space info list goes like this:

reads: protected by rcu_read_lock()
writes: protected by the chunk_mutex

At unmount time we don't need special locking because all the readers
are gone.

4e06bdd6cb Btrfs: try committing transaction before returning ENOSPC
This fixes a problem where we could return -ENOSPC when we may actually have
plenty of space, the space is just pinned.  Instead of returning -ENOSPC
immediately, commit the transaction first and then try and do the allocation
again.

This patch also does chunk allocation for metadata if we pass the 80%
threshold for metadata space.  This will help with stack usage since the chunk
allocation will happen early on, instead of when the allocation is happening.

6a63209fc0 Btrfs: add better -ENOSPC handling
This is a step in the direction of better -ENOSPC handling.  Instead of
checking the global bytes counter we check the space_info bytes counters to
make sure we have enough space.

If we don't we go ahead and try to allocate a new chunk, and then if that fails
we return -ENOSPC.  This patch adds two counters to btrfs_space_info,
bytes_delalloc and bytes_may_use.

bytes_delalloc account for extents we've actually setup for delalloc and will
be allocated at some point down the line. 

bytes_may_use is to keep track of how many bytes we may use for delalloc at
some point.  When we actually set the extent_bit for the delalloc bytes we
subtract the reserved bytes from the bytes_may_use counter.  This keeps us from
not actually being able to allocate space for any delalloc bytes.

4008c04a07 Btrfs: make a lockdep class for the extent buffer locks
Btrfs is currently using spin_lock_nested with a nested value based
on the tree depth of the block.  But, this doesn't quite work because
the max tree depth is bigger than what spin_lock_nested can deal with,
and because locks are sometimes taken before the level field is filled in.

The solution here is to use lockdep_set_class_and_name instead, and to
set the class before unlocking the pages when the block is read from the
disk and just after init of a freshly allocated tree block.

btrfs_clear_path_blocking is also changed to take the locks in the proper
order, and it also makes sure all the locks currently held are properly
set to blocking before it tries to retake the spinlocks.  Otherwise, lockdep
gets upset about bad lock orderin.

536ac8ae86 Btrfs: use larger metadata clusters in ssd mode
Larger metadata clusters can significantly improve writeback performance
on ssd drives with large erasure blocks.  The larger clusters make it
more likely a given IO will completely overwrite the ssd block, so it
doesn't have to do an internal rwm cycle.

On spinning media, lager metadata clusters end up spreading out the
metadata more over time, which makes fsck slower, so we don't want this
to be the default.

eb09967089 Btrfs: make sure all pending extent operations are complete
Theres a slight problem with finish_current_insert, if we set all to 1 and then
go through and don't actually skip any of the extents on the pending list, we
could exit right after we've added new extents.

This is a problem because by inserting the new extents we could have gotten new
COW's to happen and such, so we may have some pending updates to do or even
more inserts to do after that.

So this patch will only exit if we have never skipped any of the extents in the
pending list, and we have no extents to insert, this will make sure that all of
the pending work is truly done before we return.  I've been running with this
patch for a few days with all of my other testing and have not seen issues.
Thanks,

bd56b30205 Btrfs: Make btrfs_drop_snapshot work in larger and more efficient chunks
Every transaction in btrfs creates a new snapshot, and then schedules the
snapshot from the last transaction for deletion.  Snapshot deletion
works by walking down the btree and dropping the reference counts
on each btree block during the walk.

If if a given leaf or node has a reference count greater than one,
the reference count is decremented and the subtree pointed to by that
node is ignored.

If the reference count is one, walking continues down into that node
or leaf, and the references of everything it points to are decremented.

The old code would try to work in small pieces, walking down the tree
until it found the lowest leaf or node to free and then returning.  This
was very friendly to the rest of the FS because it didn't have a huge
impact on other operations.

But it wouldn't always keep up with the rate that new commits added new
snapshots for deletion, and it wasn't very optimal for the extent
allocation tree because it wasn't finding leaves that were close together
on disk and processing them at the same time.

This changes things to walk down to a level 1 node and then process it
in bulk.  All the leaf pointers are sorted and the leaves are dropped
in order based on their extent number.

The extent allocation tree and commit code are now fast enough for
this kind of bulk processing to work without slowing the rest of the FS
down.  Overall it does less IO and is better able to keep up with
snapshot deletions under high load.

b4ce94de9b Btrfs: Change btree locking to use explicit blocking points
Most of the btrfs metadata operations can be protected by a spinlock,
but some operations still need to schedule.

So far, btrfs has been using a mutex along with a trylock loop,
most of the time it is able to avoid going for the full mutex, so
the trylock loop is a big performance gain.

This commit is step one for getting rid of the blocking locks entirely.
btrfs_tree_lock takes a spinlock, and the code explicitly switches
to a blocking lock when it starts an operation that can schedule.

We'll be able get rid of the blocking locks in smaller pieces over time.
Tracing allows us to find the most common cause of blocking, so we
can start with the hot spots first.

The basic idea is:

btrfs_tree_lock() returns with the spin lock held

btrfs_set_lock_blocking() sets the EXTENT_BUFFER_BLOCKING bit in
the extent buffer flags, and then drops the spin lock.  The buffer is
still considered locked by all of the btrfs code.

If btrfs_tree_lock gets the spinlock but finds the blocking bit set, it drops
the spin lock and waits on a wait queue for the blocking bit to go away.

Much of the code that needs to set the blocking bit finishes without actually
blocking a good percentage of the time.  So, an adaptive spin is still
used against the blocking bit to avoid very high context switch rates.

btrfs_clear_lock_blocking() clears the blocking bit and returns
with the spinlock held again.

btrfs_tree_unlock() can be called on either blocking or spinning locks,
it does the right thing based on the blocking bit.

ctree.c has a helper function to set/clear all the locked buffers in a
path as blocking.

b7a9f29fcf Btrfs: sort references by byte number during btrfs_inc_ref
When a block goes through cow, we update the reference counts of
everything that block points to.  The internal pointers of the block
can be in just about any order, and it is likely to have clusters of
things that are close together and clusters of things that are not.

To help reduce the seeks that come with updating all of these reference
counts, sort them by byte number before actual updates are done.

7237f18336 Btrfs: fix tree logs parallel sync
To improve performance, btrfs_sync_log merges tree log sync
requests. But it wrongly merges sync requests for different
tree logs. If multiple tree logs are synced at the same time,
only one of them actually gets synced.

This patch has following changes to fix the bug:

Move most tree log related fields in btrfs_fs_info to
btrfs_root. This allows merging sync requests separately
for each tree log.

Don't insert root item into the log root tree immediately
after log tree is allocated. Root item for log tree is
inserted when log tree get synced for the first time. This
allows syncing the log root tree without first syncing all
log trees.

At tree-log sync, btrfs_sync_log first sync the log tree;
then updates corresponding root item in the log root tree;
sync the log root tree; then update the super block.

86288a198d Btrfs: fix stop searching test in replace_one_extent
replace_one_extent searches tree leaves for references to a given extent. It
stops searching if it goes beyond the last possible position.

The last possible position is computed by adding the starting offset of a found
file extent to the full size of the extent. The code uses physical size of the
extent as the full size. This is incorrect when compression is used.

The fix is get the full size from ram_bytes field of file extent item.

btrfs_extent_post_op calls finish_current_insert and del_pending_extents. They
both may enter infinite loops.

finish_current_insert enters infinite loop if it only finds some backrefs to

The infinite loop in del_pending_extents is due to a the skipped variable
