      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: extent_map and data=ordered fixes for space balancing · 5b21f2ed
      Zheng Yan 提交于
      * Add an EXTENT_BOUNDARY state bit to keep the writepage code
      from merging data extents that are in the process of being
      relocated.  This allows us to do accounting for them properly.
      
      * The balancing code relocates data extents indepdent of the underlying
      inode.  The extent_map code was modified to properly account for
      things moving around (invalidating extent_map caches in the inode).
      
      * Don't take the drop_mutex in the create_subvol ioctl.  It isn't
      required.
      
      * Fix walking of the ordered extent list to avoid races with sys_unlink
      
      * Change the lock ordering rules.  Transaction start goes outside
      the drop_mutex.  This allows btrfs_commit_transaction to directly
      drop the relocation trees.
