      Btrfs: Delete csum items when freeing extents · 459931ec
      Chris Mason 提交于
      This finishes off the new checksumming code by removing csum items
      for extents that are no longer in use.
      
      The trick is doing it without racing because a single csum item may
      hold csums for more than one extent.  Extra checks are added to
      btrfs_csum_file_blocks to make sure that we are using the correct
      csum item after dropping locks.
      
      A new btrfs_split_item is added to split a single csum item so it
      can be split without dropping the leaf lock.  This is used to
      remove csum bytes from the middle of an item.

      Btrfs: move data checksumming into a dedicated tree · d20f7043
      Chris Mason 提交于
      Btrfs stores checksums for each data block.  Until now, they have
      been stored in the subvolume trees, indexed by the inode that is
      referencing the data block.  This means that when we read the inode,
      we've probably read in at least some checksums as well.
      
      But, this has a few problems:
      
      * The checksums are indexed by logical offset in the file.  When
      compression is on, this means we have to do the expensive checksumming
      on the uncompressed data.  It would be faster if we could checksum
      the compressed data instead.
      
      * If we implement encryption, we'll be checksumming the plain text and
      storing that on disk.  This is significantly less secure.
      
      * For either compression or encryption, we have to get the plain text
      back before we can verify the checksum as correct.  This makes the raid
      layer balancing and extent moving much more expensive.
      
      * It makes the front end caching code more complex, as we have touch
      the subvolume and inodes as we cache extents.
      
      * There is potentitally one copy of the checksum in each subvolume
      referencing an extent.
      
      The solution used here is to store the extent checksums in a dedicated
      tree.  This allows us to index the checksums by phyiscal extent
      start and length.  It means:
      
      * The checksum is against the data stored on disk, after any compression
      or encryption is done.
      
      * The checksum is stored in a central location, and can be verified without
      following back references, or reading inodes.
      
      This makes compression significantly faster by reducing the amount of
      data that needs to be checksummed.  It will also allow much faster
      raid management code in general.
      
      The checksums are indexed by a key with a fixed objectid (a magic value
      in ctree.h) and offset set to the starting byte of the extent.  This
      allows us to copy the checksum items into the fsync log tree directly (or
      any other tree), without having to invent a second format for them.

      Btrfs: Add zlib compression support · c8b97818
      Chris Mason 提交于
      This is a large change for adding compression on reading and writing,
      both for inline and regular extents.  It does some fairly large
      surgery to the writeback paths.
      
      Compression is off by default and enabled by mount -o compress.  Even
      when the -o compress mount option is not used, it is possible to read
      compressed extents off the disk.
      
      If compression for a given set of pages fails to make them smaller, the
      file is flagged to avoid future compression attempts later.
      
      * While finding delalloc extents, the pages are locked before being sent down
      to the delalloc handler.  This allows the delalloc handler to do complex things
      such as cleaning the pages, marking them writeback and starting IO on their
      behalf.
      
      * Inline extents are inserted at delalloc time now.  This allows us to compress
      the data before inserting the inline extent, and it allows us to insert
      an inline extent that spans multiple pages.
      
      * All of the in-memory extent representations (extent_map.c, ordered-data.c etc)
      are changed to record both an in-memory size and an on disk size, as well
      as a flag for compression.
      
      From a disk format point of view, the extent pointers in the file are changed
      to record the on disk size of a given extent and some encoding flags.
      Space in the disk format is allocated for compression encoding, as well
      as encryption and a generic 'other' field.  Neither the encryption or the
      'other' field are currently used.
      
      In order to limit the amount of data read for a single random read in the
      file, the size of a compressed extent is limited to 128k.  This is a
      software only limit, the disk format supports u64 sized compressed extents.
      
      In order to limit the ram consumed while processing extents, the uncompressed
      size of a compressed extent is limited to 256k.  This is a software only limit
      and will be subject to tuning later.
      
      Checksumming is still done on compressed extents, and it is done on the
      uncompressed version of the data.  This way additional encodings can be
      layered on without having to figure out which encoding to checksum.
      
      Compression happens at delalloc time, which is basically singled threaded because
      it is usually done by a single pdflush thread.  This makes it tricky to
      spread the compression load across all the cpus on the box.  We'll have to
      look at parallel pdflush walks of dirty inodes at a later time.
      
      Decompression is hooked into readpages and it does spread across CPUs nicely.

      btrfs: Code cleanup · f1ace244
      Aneesh 提交于
      Attaching below is some of the code cleanups that i came across while
      reading the code.
      
      a) alloc_path already calls init_path.
      b) Mention that btrfs_inode is the in memory copy.Ext4 have ext4_inode_info as
      the in memory copy ext4_inode as the disk copy
