      Btrfs: avoid tree log commit when there are no changes · 257c62e1
      Chris Mason 提交于
      rpm has a habit of running fdatasync when the file hasn't
      changed.  We already detect if a file hasn't been changed
      in the current transaction but it might have been sent to
      the tree-log in this transaction and not changed since
      the last call to fsync.
      
      In this case, we want to avoid a tree log sync, which includes
      a number of synchronous writes and barriers.  This commit
      extends the existing tracking of the last transaction to change
      a file to also track the last sub-transaction.
      
      The end result is that rpm -ivh and -Uvh are roughly twice as fast,
      and on par with ext3.

      Btrfs: async delalloc flushing under space pressure · e3ccfa98
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      This patch moves the delalloc flushing that occurs when we are under space
      pressure off to a async thread pool.  This helps since we only free up
      metadata space when we actually insert the extent item, which means it takes
      quite a while for space to be free'ed up if we wait on all ordered extents.
      However, if space is freed up due to inline extents being inserted, we can
      wake people who are waiting up early, and they can finish their work.

      Btrfs: fix deadlock on async thread startup · 61d92c32
      Chris Mason 提交于
      The btrfs async worker threads are used for a wide variety of things,
      including processing bio end_io functions.  This means that when
      the endio threads aren't running, the rest of the FS isn't
      able to do the final processing required to clear PageWriteback.
      
      The endio threads also try to exit as they become idle and
      start more as the work piles up.  The problem is that starting more
      threads means kthreadd may need to allocate ram, and that allocation
      may wait until the global number of writeback pages on the system is
      below a certain limit.
      
      The result of that throttling is that end IO threads wait on
      kthreadd, who is waiting on IO to end, which will never happen.
      
      This commit fixes the deadlock by handing off thread startup to a
      dedicated thread.  It also fixes a bug where the on-demand thread
      creation was creating far too many threads because it didn't take into
      account threads being started by other procs.

      Btrfs: proper -ENOSPC handling · 9ed74f2d
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      At the start of a transaction we do a btrfs_reserve_metadata_space() and
      specify how many items we plan on modifying.  Then once we've done our
      modifications and such, just call btrfs_unreserve_metadata_space() for
      the same number of items we reserved.
      
      For keeping track of metadata needed for data I've had to add an extent_io op
      for when we merge extents.  This lets us track space properly when we are doing
      sequential writes, so we don't end up reserving way more metadata space than
      what we need.
      
      The only place where the metadata space accounting is not done is in the
      relocation code.  This is because Yan is going to be reworking that code in the
      near future, so running btrfs-vol -b could still possibly result in a ENOSPC
      related panic.  This patch also turns off the metadata_ratio stuff in order to
      allow users to more efficiently use their disk space.
      
      This patch makes it so we track how much metadata we need for an inode's
      delayed allocation extents by tracking how many extents are currently
      waiting for allocation.  It introduces two new callbacks for the
      extent_io tree's, merge_extent_hook and split_extent_hook.  These help
      us keep track of when we merge delalloc extents together and split them
      up.  Reservations are handled prior to any actually dirty'ing occurs,
      and then we unreserve after we dirty.
      
      btrfs_unreserve_metadata_for_delalloc() will make the appropriate
      unreservations as needed based on the number of reservations we
      currently have and the number of extents we currently have.  Doing the
      reservation outside of doing any of the actual dirty'ing lets us do
      things like filemap_flush() the inode to try and force delalloc to
      happen, or as a last resort actually start allocation on all delalloc
      inodes in the fs.  This has survived dbench, fs_mark and an fsx torture
      test.

      Btrfs: improve async block group caching · 11833d66
      Yan Zheng 提交于
      This patch gets rid of two limitations of async block group caching.
      The old code delays handling pinned extents when block group is in
      caching. To allocate logged file extents, the old code need wait
      until block group is fully cached. To get rid of the limitations,
      This patch introduces a data structure to track the progress of
      caching. Base on the caching progress, we know which extents should
      be added to the free space cache when handling the pinned extents.
      The logged file extents are also handled in a similar way.
      
      This patch also changes how pinned extents are tracked. The old
      code uses one tree to track pinned extents, and copy the pinned
      extents tree at transaction commit time. This patch makes it use
      two trees to track pinned extents. One tree for extents that are
      pinned in the running transaction, one tree for extents that can
      be unpinned. At transaction commit time, we swap the two trees.

      Btrfs: preserve commit_root for async caching · 276e680d
      Yan Zheng 提交于
      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.

      Btrfs: change how we unpin extents · 68b38550
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      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,

      Btrfs: async block group caching · 817d52f8
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      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,

      It doesn't currently pin the buffers between the two calls, and it also

      an oops if the VM manages to free the buffers in the middle of the sync.

      Btrfs: Mixed back reference (FORWARD ROLLING FORMAT CHANGE) · 5d4f98a2
      Yan Zheng 提交于
      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.

      Btrfs: try to keep a healthy ratio of metadata vs data block groups · 97e728d4
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      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.

      Btrfs: add a priority queue to the async thread helpers · d313d7a3
      Chris Mason 提交于
      Btrfs is using WRITE_SYNC_PLUG to send down synchronous IOs with a
      higher priority.  But, the checksumming helper threads prevent it
      from being fully effective.
      
      There are two problems.  First, a big queue of pending checksumming
      will delay the synchronous IO behind other lower priority writes.  Second,
      the checksumming uses an ordered async work queue.  The ordering makes sure
      that IOs are sent to the block layer in the same order they are sent
      to the checksumming threads.  Usually this gives us less seeky IO.
      
      But, when we start mixing IO priorities, the lower priority IO can delay
      the higher priority IO.
      
      This patch solves both problems by adding a high priority list to the async
      helper threads, and a new btrfs_set_work_high_prio(), which is used
      to make put a new async work item onto the higher priority list.
      
      The ordering is still done on high priority IO, but all of the high
      priority bios are ordered separately from the low priority bios.  This
      ordering is purely an IO optimization, it is not involved in data
      or metadata integrity.

      mirrors recent changes in other filesystems and the generic code to
      use WRITE_SYNC when WB_SYNC_ALL is passed and to use WRITE_SYNC for
      other latency critical writes.
      
      Btrfs uses async worker threads for checksumming before the write is done,
      and then again to actually submit the bios.  The bio submission code just
      runs a per-device list of bios that need to be sent down the pipe.
      
      This list is split into low priority and high priority lists so the
      WRITE_SYNC IO happens first.

      Btrfs: rework allocation clustering · fa9c0d79
      Chris Mason 提交于
      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.
