      Btrfs: move O_DIRECT space reservation to btrfs_direct_IO · 3f7c579c
      Chris Mason 提交于
      This moves the delalloc space reservation done for O_DIRECT
      into btrfs_direct_IO.  This way we don't leak reserved space
      if the generic O_DIRECT write code errors out before it
      calls into btrfs_direct_IO.

      Btrfs: rework O_DIRECT enospc handling · 4845e44f
      Chris Mason 提交于
      This changes O_DIRECT write code to mark extents as delalloc
      while it is processing them.  Yan Zheng has reworked the
      enospc accounting based on tracking delalloc extents and
      this makes it much easier to track enospc in the O_DIRECT code.
      
      There are a few space cases with the O_DIRECT code though,
      it only sets the EXTENT_DELALLOC bits, instead of doing
      EXTENT_DELALLOC | EXTENT_DIRTY | EXTENT_UPTODATE, because
      we don't want to mess with clearing the dirty and uptodate
      bits when things go wrong.  This is important because there
      are no pages in the page cache, so any extent state structs
      that we put in the tree won't get freed by releasepage.  We have
      to clear them ourselves as the DIO ends.
      
      With this commit, we reserve space at in btrfs_file_aio_write,
      and then as each btrfs_direct_IO call progresses it sets
      EXTENT_DELALLOC on the range.
      
      btrfs_get_blocks_direct is responsible for clearing the delalloc
      at the same time it drops the extent lock.

      Btrfs: add basic DIO read/write support · 4b46fce2
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      This provides basic DIO support for reading and writing.  It does not do the
      work to recover from mismatching checksums, that will come later.  A few design
      changes have been made from Jim's code (sorry Jim!)
      
      1) Use the generic direct-io code.  Jim originally re-wrote all the generic DIO
      code in order to account for all of BTRFS's oddities, but thanks to that work it
      seems like the best bet is to just ignore compression and such and just opt to
      fallback on buffered IO.
      
      2) Fallback on buffered IO for compressed or inline extents.  Jim's code did
      it's own buffering to make dio with compressed extents work.  Now we just
      fallback onto normal buffered IO.
      
      3) Use ordered extents for the writes so that all of the
      
      lock_extent()
      lookup_ordered()
      
      type checks continue to work.
      
      4) Do the lock_extent() lookup_ordered() loop in readpage so we don't race with
      DIO writes.
      
      I've tested this with fsx and everything works great.  This patch depends on my
      dio and filemap.c patches to work.  Thanks,

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      Btrfs: cache the extent state everywhere we possibly can V2 · 2ac55d41

      and pass around a extent_state so we only have to do the searches once per
      function.  This gives me about a 3 mb/s boots on my random write test.  I have
      not converted some things, like the relocation and ioctl's, since they aren't
      heavily used and the relocation stuff is in the middle of being re-written.  I
      also changed the clear_extent_bit() to only unset the cached state if we are
      clearing EXTENT_LOCKED and related stuff, so we can do things like this
      
      lock_extent_bits()
      clear delalloc bits
      unlock_extent_cached()
      
      without losing our cached state.  I tested this thoroughly and turned on
      LEAK_DEBUG to make sure we weren't leaking extent states, everything worked out
      fine.

      vfs: Implement proper O_SYNC semantics · 6b2f3d1f
      Christoph Hellwig 提交于
      While Linux provided an O_SYNC flag basically since day 1, it took until
      Linux 2.4.0-test12pre2 to actually get it implemented for filesystems,
      since that day we had generic_osync_around with only minor changes and the
      great "For now, when the user asks for O_SYNC, we'll actually give
      O_DSYNC" comment.  This patch intends to actually give us real O_SYNC
      semantics in addition to the O_DSYNC semantics.  After Jan's O_SYNC
      patches which are required before this patch it's actually surprisingly
      simple, we just need to figure out when to set the datasync flag to
      vfs_fsync_range and when not.
      
      This patch renames the existing O_SYNC flag to O_DSYNC while keeping it's
      numerical value to keep binary compatibility, and adds a new real O_SYNC
      flag.  To guarantee backwards compatiblity it is defined as expanding to
      both the O_DSYNC and the new additional binary flag (__O_SYNC) to make
      sure we are backwards-compatible when compiled against the new headers.
      
      This also means that all places that don't care about the differences can
      just check O_DSYNC and get the right behaviour for O_SYNC, too - only
      places that actuall care need to check __O_SYNC in addition.  Drivers and
      network filesystems have been updated in a fail safe way to always do the
      full sync magic if O_DSYNC is set.  The few places setting O_SYNC for
      lower layers are kept that way for now to stay failsafe.
      
      We enforce that O_DSYNC is set when __O_SYNC is set early in the open path
      to make sure we always get these sane options.
      
      Note that parisc really screwed up their headers as they already define a
      O_DSYNC that has always been a no-op.  We try to repair it by using it for
      the new O_DSYNC and redefinining O_SYNC to send both the traditional
      O_SYNC numerical value _and_ the O_DSYNC one.

      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: release delalloc reservations on extent item insertion · 32c00aff
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      This patch fixes an issue with the delalloc metadata space reservation
      code.  The problem is we used to free the reservation as soon as we
      allocated the delalloc region.  The problem with this is if we are not
      inserting an inline extent, we don't actually insert the extent item until
      after the ordered extent is written out.  This patch does 3 things,
      
      1) It moves the reservation clearing stuff into the ordered code, so when
      we remove the ordered extent we remove the reservation.
      2) It adds a EXTENT_DO_ACCOUNTING flag that gets passed when we clear
      delalloc bits in the cases where we want to clear the metadata reservation
      when we clear the delalloc extent, in the case that we do an inline extent
      or we invalidate the page.
      3) It adds another waitqueue to the space info so that when we start a fs
      wide delalloc flush, anybody else who also hits that area will simply wait
      for the flush to finish and then try to make their allocation.
      
      This has been tested thoroughly to make sure we did not regress on
      performance.

      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: Fix extent replacment race · a1ed835e
      Chris Mason 提交于
      Data COW means that whenever we write to a file, we replace any old
      extent pointers with new ones.  There was a window where a readpage
      might find the old extent pointers on disk and cache them in the
      extent_map tree in ram in the middle of a given write replacing them.
      
      Even though both the readpage and the write had their respective bytes
      in the file locked, the extent readpage inserts may cover more bytes than
      it had locked down.
      
      This commit closes the race by keeping the new extent pinned in the extent
      map tree until after the on-disk btree is properly setup with the new
      extent pointers.

      Btrfs: reduce CPU usage in the extent_state tree · 1edbb734
      Chris Mason 提交于
      Btrfs is currently mirroring some of the page state bits into
      its extent state tree.  The goal behind this was to use it in supporting
      blocksizes other than the page size.
      
      But, we don't currently support that, and we're using quite a lot of CPU
      on the rb tree and its spin lock.  This commit starts a series of
      cleanups to reduce the amount of work done in the extent state tree as
      part of each IO.
      
      This commit:
      
      * Adds the ability to lock an extent in the state tree and also set
      other bits.  The idea is to do locking and delalloc in one call
      
      * Removes the EXTENT_WRITEBACK and EXTENT_DIRTY bits.  Btrfs is using
      a combination of the page bits and the ordered write code for this
      instead.

      This adds a simple test with rb_next to see if the next object
      in the tree was adjacent to the one we just found.  If so,
      we skip the search and just use the next object.

      Btrfs: fdatasync should skip metadata writeout · 524724ed
      Hisashi Hifumi 提交于
      In btrfs, fdatasync and fsync are identical, but
      fdatasync should skip committing transaction when
      inode->i_state is set just I_DIRTY_SYNC and this indicates
      only atime or/and mtime updates.
      Following patch improves fdatasync throughput.

      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: fix fallocate deadlock on inode extent lock · e980b50c
      Chris Mason 提交于
      The btrfs fallocate call takes an extent lock on the entire range
      being fallocated, and then runs through insert_reserved_extent on each
      extent as they are allocated.
      
      The problem with this is that btrfs_drop_extents may decide to try
      and take the same extent lock fallocate was already holding.  The solution
      used here is to push down knowledge of the range that is already locked
      going into btrfs_drop_extents.
      
      It turns out that at least one other caller had the same bug.

      Btrfs: fix btrfs fallocate oops and deadlock · 546888da
      Chris Mason 提交于
      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: 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.
