      Btrfs: use WRITE_SYNC for synchronous writes · ffbd517d
      Chris Mason 提交于
      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.

      Btrfs: unplug in the async bio submission threads · bedf762b
      Chris Mason 提交于
      Btrfs pages being written get set to writeback, and then may go through
      a number of steps before they hit the block layer.  This includes compression,
      checksumming and async bio submission.
      
      The end result is that someone who writes a page and then does
      wait_on_page_writeback is likely to unplug the queue before the bio they
      cared about got there.
      
      We could fix this by marking bios sync, or by doing more frequent unplugs,
      but this commit just changes the async bio submission code to unplug
      after it has processed all the bios for a device.  The async bio submission
      does a fair job of collection bios, so this shouldn't be a huge problem
      for reducing merging at the elevator.
      
      For streaming O_DIRECT writes on a 5 drive array, it boosts performance
      from 386MB/s to 460MB/s.

      Btrfs: keep processing bios for a given bdev if our proc is batching · b765ead5
      Chris Mason 提交于
      Btrfs uses async helper threads to submit write bios so the checksumming
      helper threads don't block on the disk.
      
      The submit bio threads may process bios for more than one block device,
      so when they find one device congested they try to move on to other
      devices instead of blocking in get_request_wait for one device.
      
      This does a pretty good job of keeping multiple devices busy, but the
      congested flag has a number of problems.  A congested device may still
      give you a request, and other procs that aren't backing off the congested
      device may starve you out.
      
      This commit uses the io_context stored in current to decide if our process
      has been made a batching process by the block layer.  If so, it keeps
      sending IO down for at least one batch.  This helps make sure we do
      a good amount of work each time we visit a bdev, and avoids large IO
      stalls in multi-device workloads.
      
      It's also very ugly.  A better solution is in the works with Jens Axboe.

      Btrfs: Fix locking around adding new space_info · 4184ea7f
      Chris Mason 提交于
      Storage allocated to different raid levels in btrfs is tracked by
      a btrfs_space_info structure, and all of the current space_infos are
      collected into a list_head.
      
      Most filesystems have 3 or 4 of these structs total, and the list is
      only changed when new raid levels are added or at unmount time.
      
      This commit adds rcu locking on the list head, and properly frees
      things at unmount time.  It also clears the space_info->full flag
      whenever new space is added to the FS.
      
      The locking for the space info list goes like this:
      
      reads: protected by rcu_read_lock()
      writes: protected by the chunk_mutex
      
      At unmount time we don't need special locking because all the readers
      are gone.

      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: Clear the device->running_pending flag before bailing on congestion · 1d9e2ae9
      Chris Mason 提交于
      Btrfs maintains a queue of async bio submissions so the checksumming
      threads don't have to wait on get_request_wait.  In order to avoid
      extra wakeups, this code has a running_pending flag that is used
      to tell new submissions they don't need to wake the thread.
      
      When the threads notice congestion on a single device, they
      may decide to requeue the job and move on to other devices.  This
      makes sure the running_pending flag is cleared before the
      job is requeued.

      Btrfs: Add inode sequence number for NFS and reserved space in a few structs · c3027eb5

      the log root transid is always zero, but that'll get fixed.

      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: 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.

      Btrfs: Avoid unplug storms during commit · 5f2cc086
      Chris Mason 提交于
      While doing a commit, btrfs makes sure all the metadata blocks
      were properly written to disk, calling wait_on_page_writeback for
      each page.  This writeback happens after allowing another transaction
      to start, so it competes for the disk with other processes in the FS.
      
      If the page writeback bit is still set, each wait_on_page_writeback might
      trigger an unplug, even though the page might be waiting for checksumming
      to finish or might be waiting for the async work queue to submit the
      bio.
      
      This trades wait_on_page_writeback for waiting on the extent writeback
      bits.  It won't trigger any unplugs and substantially improves performance
      in a number of workloads.
      
      This also changes the async bio submission to avoid requeueing if there
      is only one device.  The requeue just wastes CPU time because there are
      no other devices to service.

      Btrfs: nuke fs wide allocation mutex V2 · 25179201
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      This patch removes the giant fs_info->alloc_mutex and replaces it with a bunch
      of little locks.
      
      There is now a pinned_mutex, which is used when messing with the pinned_extents
      extent io tree, and the extent_ins_mutex which is used with the pending_del and
      extent_ins extent io trees.
      
      The locking for the extent tree stuff was inspired by a patch that Yan Zheng
      wrote to fix a race condition, I cleaned it up some and changed the locking
      around a little bit, but the idea remains the same.  Basically instead of
      holding the extent_ins_mutex throughout the processing of an extent on the
      extent_ins or pending_del trees, we just hold it while we're searching and when
      we clear the bits on those trees, and lock the extent for the duration of the
      operations on the extent.
      
      Also to keep from getting hung up waiting to lock an extent, I've added a
      try_lock_extent so if we cannot lock the extent, move on to the next one in the
      tree and we'll come back to that one.  I have tested this heavily and it does
      not appear to break anything.  This has to be applied on top of my
      find_free_extent redo patch.
      
      I tested this patch on top of Yan's space reblancing code and it worked fine.
      The only thing that has changed since the last version is I pulled out all my
      debugging stuff, apparently I forgot to run guilt refresh before I sent the
      last patch out.  Thank you,

      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: Wait for IO on the block device inodes of newly added devices · 8c8bee1d
      Chris Mason 提交于
      btrfs-vol -a /dev/xxx will zero the first and last two MB of the device.
      The kernel code needs to wait for this IO to finish before it adds
      the device.
      
      btrfs metadata IO does not happen through the block device inode.  A
      separate address space is used, allowing the zero filled buffer heads in
      the block device inode to be written to disk after FS metadata starts
      going down to the disk via the btrfs metadata inode.
      
      The end result is zero filled metadata blocks after adding new devices
      into the filesystem.
      
      The fix is a simple filemap_write_and_wait on the block device inode
      before actually inserting it into the pool of available devices.

      Btrfs: update space balancing code · 1a40e23b
      Zheng Yan 提交于
      This patch updates the space balancing code to utilize the new
      backref format.  Before, btrfs-vol -b would break any COW links
      on data blocks or metadata.  This was slow and caused the amount
      of space used to explode if a large number of snapshots were present.
      
      The new code can keeps the sharing of all data extents and
      most of the tree blocks.
      
      To maintain the sharing of data extents, the space balance code uses
      a seperate inode hold data extent pointers, then updates the references
      to point to the new location.
      
      To maintain the sharing of tree blocks, the space balance code uses
      reloc trees to relocate tree blocks in reference counted roots.
      There is one reloc tree for each subvol, and all reloc trees share
      same root key objectid. Reloc trees are snapshots of the latest
      committed roots of subvols (root->commit_root).
      
      To relocate a tree block referenced by a subvol, there are two steps.
      COW the block through subvol's reloc tree, then update block pointer in
      the subvol to point to the new block. Since all reloc trees share
      same root key objectid, doing special handing for tree blocks
      owned by them is easy. Once a tree block has been COWed in one
      reloc tree, we can use the resulting new block directly when the
      same block is required to COW again through other reloc trees.
      In this way, relocated tree blocks are shared between reloc trees,
      so they are also shared between subvols.

      Remove Btrfs compat code for older kernels · 2b1f55b0
      Chris Mason 提交于
      Btrfs had compatibility code for kernels back to 2.6.18.  These have
      been removed, and will be maintained in a separate backport
      git tree from now on.

      Btrfs: free space accounting redo · 0f9dd46c
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      1) replace the per fs_info extent_io_tree that tracked free space with two
      rb-trees per block group to track free space areas via offset and size.  The
      reason to do this is because most allocations come with a hint byte where to
      start, so we can usually find a chunk of free space at that hint byte to satisfy
      the allocation and get good space packing.  If we cannot find free space at or
      after the given offset we fall back on looking for a chunk of the given size as
      close to that given offset as possible.  When we fall back on the size search we
      also try to find a slot as close to the size we want as possible, to avoid
      breaking small chunks off of huge areas if possible.
      
      2) remove the extent_io_tree that tracked the block group cache from fs_info and
      replaced it with an rb-tree thats tracks block group cache via offset.  also
      added a per space_info list that tracks the block group cache for the particular
      space so we can lookup related block groups easily.
      
      3) cleaned up the allocation code to make it a little easier to read and a
      little less complicated.  Basically there are 3 steps, first look from our
      provided hint.  If we couldn't find from that given hint, start back at our
      original search start and look for space from there.  If that fails try to
      allocate space if we can and start looking again.  If not we're screwed and need
      to start over again.
      
      4) small fixes.  there were some issues in volumes.c where we wouldn't allocate
      the rest of the disk.  fixed cow_file_range to actually pass the alloc_hint,
      which has helped a good bit in making the fs_mark test I run have semi-normal
      results as we run out of space.  Generally with data allocations we don't track
      where we last allocated from, so everytime we did a data allocation we'd search
      through every block group that we have looking for free space.  Now searching a
      block group with no free space isn't terribly time consuming, it was causing a
      slight degradation as we got more data block groups.  The alloc_hint has fixed
      this slight degredation and made things semi-normal.
      
      There is still one nagging problem I'm working on where we will get ENOSPC when
      there is definitely plenty of space.  This only happens with metadata
      allocations, and only when we are almost full.  So you generally hit the 85%
      mark first, but sometimes you'll hit the BUG before you hit the 85% wall.  I'm
      still tracking it down, but until then this seems to be pretty stable and make a
      significant performance gain.

      Btrfs: Throttle for async bio submits higher up the chain · 9473f16c
      Chris Mason 提交于
      The current code waits for the count of async bio submits to get below
      a given threshold if it is too high right after adding the latest bio
      to the work queue.  This isn't optimal because the caller may have
      sequential adjacent bios pending they are waiting to send down the pipe.
      
      This changeset requires the caller to wait on the async bio count,
      and changes the async checksumming submits to wait for async bios any
      time they self throttle.
      
      The end result is much higher sequential throughput.

      Btrfs: Wait for async bio submissions to make some progress at queue time · b64a2851
      Chris Mason 提交于
      Before, the btrfs bdi congestion function was used to test for too many
      async bios.  This keeps that check to throttle pdflush, but also
      adds a check while queuing bios.

      Btrfs: Fix the multi-bio code to save the original bio for completion · 7d2b4daa
      Chris Mason 提交于
      The multi-bio code is responsible for duplicating blocks in raid1 and
      single spindle duplication.  It has counters to make sure all of
      the locations for a given extent are properly written before io completion
      is returned to the higher layers.
      
      But, it didn't always complete the same bio it was given, sometimes a
      clone was completed instead.  This lead to problems with the async
      work queues because they saved a pointer to the bio in a struct off
      bi_private.
      
      The fix is to remember the original bio and only complete that one.
