So we can re-use the code to cache free inode numbers.

The change is quite straightforward. Two new structures are introduced.

- struct btrfs_free_space_ctl

  We move those variables that are used for caching free space from
  struct btrfs_block_group_cache to this new struct.

- struct btrfs_free_space_op

  We do block group specific work (e.g. calculation of extents threshold)
  through functions registered in this struct.

And then we can remove references to struct btrfs_block_group_cache.

We've already recorded the value in block_group->frees_space.

We take an free extent out from allocator, trim it, then put it back,
but before we trim the block group, we should make sure the block group is
cached, so plus a little change to make cache_block_group() run without a
transaction.

This patch actually loads the free space cache if it exists.  The only thing
that really changes here is that we need to cache the block group if we're going
to remove an extent from it.  Previously we did not do this since the caching
kthread would pick it up.  With the on disk cache we don't have this luxury so
we need to make sure we read the on disk cache in first, and then remove the
extent, that way when the extent is unpinned the free space is added to the
block group.  This has been tested with all sorts of things.

This is a simple bit, just dump the free space cache out to our preallocated
inode when we're writing out dirty block groups.  There are a bunch of changes
in inode.c in order to account for special cases.  Mostly when we're doing the
writeout we're holding trans_mutex, so we need to use the nolock transacation
functions.  Also we can't do asynchronous completions since the async thread
could be blocked on already completed IO waiting for the transaction lock.  This
has been tested with xfstests and btrfs filesystem balance, as well as my ENOSPC
tests.  Thanks,

In order to save free space cache, we need an inode to hold the data, and we
need a special item to point at the right inode for the right block group.  So
first, create a special item that will point to the right inode, and the number
of extent entries we will have and the number of bitmaps we will have.  We
truncate and pre-allocate space everytime to make sure it's uptodate.

This feature will be turned on as soon as you mount with -o space_cache, however
it is safe to boot into old kernels, they will just generate the cache the old
fashion way.  When you boot back into a newer kernel we will notice that we
modified and not the cache and automatically discard the cache.

Currently btrfs has a problem where it can use a ridiculous amount of RAM simply
tracking free space.  As free space gets fragmented, we end up with thousands of
entries on an rb-tree per block group, which usually spans 1 gig of area.  Since
we currently don't ever flush free space cache back to disk this gets to be a
bit unweildly on large fs's with lots of fragmentation.

This patch solves this problem by using PAGE_SIZE bitmaps for parts of the free
space cache.  Initially we calculate a threshold of extent entries we can
handle, which is however many extent entries we can cram into 16k of ram.  The
maximum amount of RAM that should ever be used to track 1 gigabyte of diskspace
will be 32k of RAM, which scales much better than we did before.

Once we pass the extent threshold, we start adding bitmaps and using those
instead for tracking the free space.  This patch also makes it so that any free
space thats less than 4 * sectorsize we go ahead and put into a bitmap.  This is
nice since we try and allocate out of the front of a block group, so if the
front of a block group is heavily fragmented and then has a huge chunk of free
space at the end, we go ahead and add the fragmented areas to bitmaps and use a
normal extent entry to track the big chunk at the back of the block group.

I've also taken the opportunity to revamp how we search for free space.
Previously we indexed free space via an offset indexed rb tree and a bytes
indexed rb tree.  I've dropped the bytes indexed rb tree and use only the offset
indexed rb tree.  This cuts the number of tree operations we were doing
previously down by half, and gives us a little bit of a better allocation
pattern since we will always start from a specific offset and search forward
from there, instead of searching for the size we need and try and get it as
close as possible to the offset we want.

I've given this a healthy amount of testing pre-new format stuff, as well as
post-new format stuff.  I've booted up my fedora box which is installed on btrfs
with this patch and ran with it for a few days without issues.  I've not seen
any performance regressions in any of my tests.

Since the last patch Yan Zheng fixed a problem where we could have overlapping
entries, so updating their offset inline would cause problems.  Thanks,

Some SSDs perform best when reusing block numbers often, while
others perform much better when clustering strictly allocates
big chunks of unused space.

The default mount -o ssd will find rough groupings of blocks
where there are a bunch of free blocks that might have some
allocated blocks mixed in.

mount -o ssd_spread will make sure there are no allocated blocks
mixed in.  It should perform better on lower end SSDs.

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.
