      Btrfs: switch the btrfs tree locks to reader/writer · bd681513
      Chris Mason 提交于
      The btrfs metadata btree is the source of significant
      lock contention, especially in the root node.   This
      commit changes our locking to use a reader/writer
      lock.
      
      The lock is built on top of rw spinlocks, and it
      extends the lock tracking to remember if we have a
      read lock or a write lock when we go to blocking.  Atomics
      count the number of blocking readers or writers at any
      given time.
      
      It removes all of the adaptive spinning from the old code
      and uses only the spinning/blocking hints inside of btrfs
      to decide when it should continue spinning.
      
      In read heavy workloads this is dramatically faster.  In write
      heavy workloads we're still faster because of less contention
      on the root node lock.
      
      We suffer slightly in dbench because we schedule more often
      during write locks, but all other benchmarks so far are improved.

      Btrfs: fix spinlock assertions on UP systems · b9447ef8
      Chris Mason 提交于
      btrfs_tree_locked was being used to make sure a given extent_buffer was
      properly locked in a few places.  But, it wasn't correct for UP compiled
      kernels.
      
      This switches it to using assert_spin_locked instead, and renames it to
      btrfs_assert_tree_locked to better reflect how it was really being used.

      Btrfs: don't use spin_is_contended · 284b066a
      Chris Mason 提交于
      Btrfs was using spin_is_contended to see if it should drop locks before
      doing extent allocations during btrfs_search_slot.  The idea was to avoid
      expensive searches in the tree unless the lock was actually contended.
      
      But, spin_is_contended is specific to the ticket spinlocks on x86, so this
      is causing compile errors everywhere else.
      
      In practice, the contention could easily appear some time after we started
      doing the extent allocation, and it makes more sense to always drop the lock
      instead.

      Btrfs: Change btree locking to use explicit blocking points · b4ce94de
      Chris Mason 提交于
      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.

      btrfs_search_slot: reduce lock contention by cowing in two stages · 65b51a00
      Chris Mason 提交于
      A btree block cow has two parts, the first is to allocate a destination
      block and the second is to copy the old bock over.
      
      The first part needs locks in the extent allocation tree, and may need to
      do IO.  This changeset splits that into a separate function that can be
      called without any tree locks held.
      
      btrfs_search_slot is changed to drop its path and start over if it has
      to COW a contended block.  This often means that many writers will
      pre-alloc a new destination for a the same contended block, but they
      cache their prealloc for later use on lower levels in the tree.

      Btrfs: Start btree concurrency work. · 925baedd
      Chris Mason 提交于
      The allocation trees and the chunk trees are serialized via their own
      dedicated mutexes.  This means allocation location is still not very
      fine grained.
      
      The main FS btree is protected by locks on each block in the btree.  Locks
      are taken top / down, and as processing finishes on a given level of the
      tree, the lock is released after locking the lower level.
      
      The end result of a search is now a path where only the lowest level
      is locked.  Releasing or freeing the path drops any locks held.
