The btrfs IO submission threads try to service a bunch of devices with a small
number of threads.  They do a congestion check to try and avoid waiting
on requests for a busy device.

The checks make sure we've sent a few requests down to a given device just so
that we aren't bouncing between busy devices without actually sending down
any IO.  The counter used to decide if we can switch to the next device
is somewhat overloaded.  It is also being used to decide if we've done
a good batch of requests between the WRITE_SYNC or regular priority lists.
It may get reset to zero often, leaving us hammering on a busy device
instead of moving on to another disk.

This commit adds a new counter for the number of bios sent while
servicing a device.  It doesn't get reset or fiddled with.  On
multi-device filesystems, this fixes IO stalls in streaming
write workloads.

Btrfs uses dedicated threads to submit bios when checksumming is on,
which allows us to make sure the threads dedicated to checksumming don't get
stuck waiting for requests.  For each btrfs device, there are
two lists of bios.  One list is for WRITE_SYNC bios and the other
is for regular priority bios.

The IO submission threads used to process all of the WRITE_SYNC bios first and
then switch to the regular bios.  This commit makes sure we don't completely
starve the regular bios by rotating between the two lists.

WRITE_SYNC bios are still favored 2:1 over the regular bios, and this tries
to run in batches to avoid seeking.  Benchmarking shows this eliminates
stalls during streaming buffered writes on both multi-device and
single device filesystems.

If the regular bios starve, the system can end up with a large amount of ram
pinned down in writeback pages.  If we are a little more fair between the two
classes, we're able to keep throughput up and make progress on the bulk of
our dirty ram.

Once a metadata block has been written, it must be recowed, so the

updating the btrfs dirty balancing checks.  This commit switches it

With the new back reference code, the cost of a balance has gone down
in terms of the number of back reference updates done.  This commit
makes us more aggressively balance leaves and nodes as they become
less full.
Signed-off-by: NChris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

When the delayed reference code was added, some checks were added
to avoid extra balancing while the delayed references were being flushed.
This made for less efficient btrees, but it reduced the chances of
loops where no forward progress was made because the balances made
more delayed ref updates.

With the new dead root removal code and the mixed back references,
the extent allocation tree is no longer using precise back refs, and
the delayed reference updates don't carry the risk of looping forever
anymore.  So, the balance avoidance is no longer required.

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.

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.

When a btrfs metadata read fails, the first thing we try to do is find
a good copy on another mirror of the block.  If this fails, read_tree_block()
ends up returning a buffer that isn't up to date.

The btrfs btree reading code was reworked to drop locks and repeat
the search when IO was done, but the changes didn't add a check for failed
reads.  The end result was looping forever on buffers that were never
going to become up to date.

Linus noticed the btrfs code to cache acls wasn't properly caching
a NULL acl when the inode didn't have any acls.  This meant the common
case of no acls resulted in expensive btree searches every time the
kernel checked permissions (which is quite often).

This is a modified version of Linus' original patch:

Properly set initial acl fields to BTRFS_ACL_NOT_CACHED in the inode.
This forces an acl lookup when permission checks are done.

Fix btrfs_get_acl to avoid lookups and locking when the inode acls fields
are set to null.

Fix btrfs_get_acl to use the right return value from __btrfs_getxattr
when deciding to cache a NULL acl.  It was storing a NULL acl when
__btrfs_getxattr return -ENOENT, but __btrfs_getxattr was actually returning
-ENODATA for this case.

After a transaction commit, the old root of the subvol btrees are sent through
snapshot removal.  This is what actually frees up any blocks replaced by
COW, and anything the old blocks pointed to.

Snapshot deletion will pause when a transaction commit has started, which
helps to avoid a huge amount of delayed reference count updates piling up
as the transaction is trying to close.

But, this pause happens after the snapshot deletion process has asked other
procs on the system to throttle back a bit so that it can make progress.

We don't want to throttle everyone while we're waiting for the transaction
commit, it leads to deadlocks in the user transaction ioctls used by Ceph
and makes things slower in general.

This patch changes things to avoid the throttling while we sleep.

The btrfs fallocate call takes an extent lock on the entire range

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

Btrfs fallocate was incorrectly starting a transaction with a lock held
on the extent_io tree for the file, which could deadlock.  Strictly
speaking it was using join_transaction which would be safe, but it is better
to move the transaction outside of the lock.

When preallocated extents are overwritten, btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty was
being called on an unlocked buffer.  This was triggering an assertion and
oops because the lock is supposed to be held.

The bug was calling btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty on a leaf after btrfs_del_item had
been run.  btrfs_del_item takes care of dirtying things, so the solution is a
to skip the btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty call in this case.

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.

Part of reducing fsync/O_SYNC/O_DIRECT latencies is using WRITE_SYNC for
writes we plan on waiting on in the near future.  This patch
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.
