      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.

      Btrfs: kill the pinned_mutex · 04018de5
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      This patch removes the pinned_mutex.  The extent io map has an internal tree
      lock that protects the tree itself, and since we only copy the extent io map
      when we are committing the transaction we don't need it there.  We also don't
      need it when caching the block group since searching through the tree is also
      protected by the internal map spin lock.

      Btrfs: add extra flushing for renames and truncates · 5a3f23d5
      Chris Mason 提交于
      Renames and truncates are both common ways to replace old data with new
      data.  The filesystem can make an effort to make sure the new data is
      on disk before actually replacing the old data.
      
      This is especially important for rename, which many application use as
      though it were atomic for both the data and the metadata involved.  The
      current btrfs code will happily replace a file that is fully on disk
      with one that was just created and still has pending IO.
      
      If we crash after transaction commit but before the IO is done, we'll end
      up replacing a good file with a zero length file.  The solution used
      here is to create a list of inodes that need special ordering and force
      them to disk before the commit is done.  This is similar to the
      ext3 style data=ordering, except it is only done on selected files.
      
      Btrfs is able to get away with this because it does not wait on commits
      very often, even for fsync (which use a sub-commit).
      
      For renames, we order the file when it wasn't already
      on disk and when it is replacing an existing file.  Larger files
      are sent to filemap_flush right away (before the transaction handle is
      opened).
      
      For truncates, we order if the file goes from non-zero size down to
      zero size.  This is a little different, because at the time of the
      truncate the file has no dirty bytes to order.  But, we flag the inode
      so that it is added to the ordered list on close (via release method).  We
      also immediately add it to the ordered list of the current transaction
      so that we can try to flush down any writes the application sneaks in
      before commit.

      Btrfs: leave btree locks spinning more often · b9473439
      Chris Mason 提交于
      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.

      Btrfs: process the delayed reference queue in clusters · c3e69d58
      Chris Mason 提交于
      The delayed reference queue maintains pending operations that need to
      be done to the extent allocation tree.  These are processed by
      finding records in the tree that are not currently being processed one at
      a time.
      
      This is slow because it uses lots of time searching through the rbtree
      and because it creates lock contention on the extent allocation tree
      when lots of different procs are running delayed refs at the same time.
      
      This commit changes things to grab a cluster of refs for processing,
      using a cursor into the rbtree as the starting point of the next search.

      Btrfs: do extent allocation and reference count updates in the background · 56bec294
      Chris Mason 提交于
      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.

      Btrfs: make a lockdep class for the extent buffer locks · 4008c04a
      Chris Mason 提交于
      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.

      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.

      Before metadata is written to disk, it is updated to reflect that writeout

      This update was originally synchronized by using a per-fs spinlock.  Today
      the buffers for the metadata blocks are locked before writeout begins,
      and everyone that tests the flag has the buffer locked as well.

      Btrfs: fix tree logs parallel sync · 7237f183
      Yan Zheng 提交于
      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.

      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: Avoid writeback stalls · d2c3f4f6
      Chris Mason 提交于
      While building large bios in writepages, btrfs may end up waiting
      for other page writeback to finish if WB_SYNC_ALL is used.
      
      While it is waiting, the bio it is building has a number of pages with the
      writeback bit set and they aren't getting to the disk any time soon.  This
      lowers the latencies of writeback in general by sending down the bio being
      built before waiting for other pages.
      
      The bio submission code tries to limit the total number of async bios in
      flight by waiting when we're over a certain number of async bios.  But,
      the waits are happening while writepages is building bios, and this can easily
      lead to stalls and other problems for people calling wait_on_page_writeback.
      
      The current fix is to let the congestion tests take care of waiting.
      
      sync() and others make sure to drain the current async requests to make
      sure that everything that was pending when the sync was started really get
      to disk.  The code would drain pending requests both before and after
      submitting a new request.
      
      But, if one of the requests is waiting for page writeback to finish,
      the draining waits might block that page writeback.  This changes the
      draining code to only wait after submitting the bio being processed.

      to fill in different device numbers for each subvolume to avoid confusing
      applications.
      
      This commit puts a struct super_block into struct btrfs_root so it can
      call set_anon_super() and get a different device number generated for
      each root.
      
      btrfs_rename is changed to prevent renames across subvols.

      Btrfs: Allow subvolumes and snapshots anywhere in the directory tree · 3de4586c
      Chris Mason 提交于
      Before, all snapshots and subvolumes lived in a single flat directory.  This
      was awkward and confusing because the single flat directory was only writable
      with the ioctls.
      
      This commit changes the ioctls to create subvols and snapshots at any
      point in the directory tree.  This requires making separate ioctls for
      snapshot and subvol creation instead of a combining them into one.
      
      The subvol ioctl does:
      
      btrfsctl -S subvol_name parent_dir
      
      After the ioctl is done subvol_name lives inside parent_dir.
      
      The snapshot ioctl does:
      
      btrfsctl -s path_for_snapshot root_to_snapshot
      
      path_for_snapshot can be an absolute or relative path.  btrfsctl breaks it up
      into directory and basename components.
      
      root_to_snapshot can be any file or directory in the FS.  The snapshot
      is taken of the entire root where that file lives.

      Btrfs: Seed device support · 2b82032c
      Yan Zheng 提交于
      Seed device is a special btrfs with SEEDING super flag
      set and can only be mounted in read-only mode. Seed
      devices allow people to create new btrfs on top of it.
      
      The new FS contains the same contents as the seed device,
      but it can be mounted in read-write mode.
      
      This patch does the following:
      
      1) split code in btrfs_alloc_chunk into two parts. The first part does makes
      the newly allocated chunk usable, but does not do any operation that modifies
      the chunk tree. The second part does the the chunk tree modifications. This
      division is for the bootstrap step of adding storage to the seed device.
      
      2) Update device management code to handle seed device.
      The basic idea is: For an FS grown from seed devices, its
      seed devices are put into a list. Seed devices are
      opened on demand at mounting time. If any seed device is
      missing or has been changed, btrfs kernel module will
      refuse to mount the FS.
      
      3) make btrfs_find_block_group not return NULL when all
      block groups are read-only.

      This patch adds mount ro and remount support. The main
      changes in patch are: adding btrfs_remount and related
      helper function; splitting the transaction related code
      out of close_ctree into btrfs_commit_super; updating
      allocator to properly handle read only block group.
