      Btrfs: async delalloc flushing under space pressure · e3ccfa98
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      This patch moves the delalloc flushing that occurs when we are under space
      pressure off to a async thread pool.  This helps since we only free up
      metadata space when we actually insert the extent item, which means it takes
      quite a while for space to be free'ed up if we wait on all ordered extents.
      However, if space is freed up due to inline extents being inserted, we can
      wake people who are waiting up early, and they can finish their work.

      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: fix possible softlockup in the allocator · 1cdda9b8
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      Like the cluster allocating stuff, we can lockup the box with the normal
      allocation path.  This happens when we
      
      1) Start to cache a block group that is severely fragmented, but has a decent
      amount of free space.
      2) Start to commit a transaction
      3) Have the commit try and empty out some of the delalloc inodes with extents
      that are relatively large.
      
      The inodes will not be able to make the allocations because they will ask for
      allocations larger than a contiguous area in the free space cache.  So we will
      wait for more progress to be made on the block group, but since we're in a
      commit the caching kthread won't make any more progress and it already has
      enough free space that wait_block_group_cache_progress will just return.  So,
      if we wait and fail to make the allocation the next time around, just loop and
      go to the next block group.  This keeps us from getting stuck in a softlockup.

      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 early enospc during balancing · 7ce618db
      Chris Mason 提交于
      We now do extra checks before a balance to make sure
      there is room for the balance to take place.  One of
      the checks was testing to see if we were trying to
      balance away the last block group of a given type.
      
      If there is no space available for new chunks, we
      should not try and balance away the last block group
      of a give type.  But, the code wasn't checking for
      available chunk space, and so it was exiting too soon.
      
      The fix here is to combine some of the checks and make
      sure we try to allocate new chunks when we're balancing

      Btrfs: don't keep retrying a block group if we fail to allocate a cluster · 0a24325e
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      The box can get locked up in the allocator if we happen upon a block group
      under these conditions:
      
      1) During a commit, so caching threads cannot make progress
      2) Our block group currently is in the middle of being cached
      3) Our block group currently has plenty of free space in it
      4) Our block group is so fragmented that it ends up having no free space chunks
      larger than min_bytes calculated by btrfs_find_space_cluster.
      
      What happens is we try and do btrfs_find_space_cluster, which fails because it
      is unable to find enough free space chunks that are large than min_bytes and
      are close enough together.  Since the block group is not cached we do a
      wait_block_group_cache_progress, which waits for the number of bytes we need,
      except the block group already has _plenty_ of free space, its just severely
      fragmented, so we loop and try again, ad infinitum.  This patch keeps us from
      waiting on the block group to finish caching if we failed to find a free space
      cluster before.  It also makes sure that we don't even try to find a free space
      cluster if we are on our last loop in the allocator, since we will have tried
      everything at this point at it is futile.

      Btrfs: make balance code choose more wisely when relocating · ba1bf481
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      Currently, we can panic the box if the first block group we go to move is of a
      type where there is no space left to move those extents.  For example, if we
      fill the disk up with data, and then we try to balance and we have no room to
      move the data nor room to allocate new chunks, we will panic.  Change this by
      checking to see if we have room to move this chunk around, and if not, return
      -ENOSPC and move on to the next chunk.  This will make sure we remove block
      groups that are moveable, like if we have alot of empty metadata block groups,
      and then that way we make room to be able to balance our data chunks as well.
      Tested this with an fs that would panic on btrfs-vol -b normally, but no longer
      panics with this patch.
      
      V1->V2:
      -actually search for a free extent on the device to make sure we can allocate a
      chunk if need be.
      
      -fix btrfs_shrink_device to make sure we actually try to relocate all the
      chunks, and then if we can't return -ENOSPC so if we are doing a btrfs-vol -r
      we don't remove the device with data still on it.
      
      -check to make sure the block group we are going to relocate isn't the last one
      in that particular space

      not fix it if we fail to do our relocate

      Second, save when snapshot was created in root_key.offset. we can compare block
      pointer's generation with snapshot's creation generation during updating
      backrefs. If a given block was created before snapshot was created, the
      snapshot can't be the tree block's owner. So we can avoid reading the block.

      Btrfs: improve async block group caching · 11833d66
      Yan Zheng 提交于
      This patch gets rid of two limitations of async block group caching.
      The old code delays handling pinned extents when block group is in
      caching. To allocate logged file extents, the old code need wait
      until block group is fully cached. To get rid of the limitations,
      This patch introduces a data structure to track the progress of
      caching. Base on the caching progress, we know which extents should
      be added to the free space cache when handling the pinned extents.
      The logged file extents are also handled in a similar way.
      
      This patch also changes how pinned extents are tracked. The old
      code uses one tree to track pinned extents, and copy the pinned
      extents tree at transaction commit time. This patch makes it use
      two trees to track pinned extents. One tree for extents that are
      pinned in the running transaction, one tree for extents that can
      be unpinned. At transaction commit time, we swap the two trees.

      Btrfs: preserve commit_root for async caching · 276e680d
      Yan Zheng 提交于
      The async block group caching code uses the commit_root pointer
      to get a stable version of the extent allocation tree for scanning.
      This copy of the tree root isn't going to change and it significantly
      reduces the complexity of the scanning code.
      
      During a commit, we have a loop where we update the extent allocation
      tree root.  We need to loop because updating the root pointer in
      the tree of tree roots may allocate blocks which may change the
      extent allocation tree.
      
      Right now the commit_root pointer is changed inside this loop.  It
      is more correct to change the commit_root pointer only after all the

      Btrfs: change how we unpin extents · 68b38550
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      We are racy with async block caching and unpinning extents.  This patch makes
      things much less complicated by only unpinning the extent if the block group is
      cached.  We check the block_group->cached var under the block_group->lock spin
      lock.  If it is set to BTRFS_CACHE_FINISHED then we update the pinned counters,
      and unpin the extent and add the free space back.  If it is not set to this, we
      start the caching of the block group so the next time we unpin extents we can
      unpin the extent.  This keeps us from racing with the async caching threads,
      lets us kill the fs wide async thread counter, and keeps us from having to set
      DELALLOC bits for every extent we hit if there are caching kthreads going.
      
      One thing that needed to be changed was btrfs_free_super_mirror_extents.  Now
      instead of just looking for LOCKED extents, we also look for DIRTY extents,
      since we could have left some extents pinned in the previous transaction that
      will never get freed now that we are unmounting, which would cause us to leak
      memory.  So btrfs_free_super_mirror_extents has been changed to
      btrfs_free_pinned_extents, and it will clear the extents locked for the super
      mirror, and any remaining pinned extents that may be present.  Thank you,

      Btrfs allocates individual extents from block groups, and each

      we free block groups.  Once a block group is freed, the space it was

      Btrfs: async block group caching · 817d52f8
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      This patch moves the caching of the block group off to a kthread in order to
      allow people to allocate sooner.  Instead of blocking up behind the caching
      mutex, we instead kick of the caching kthread, and then attempt to make an
      allocation.  If we cannot, we wait on the block groups caching waitqueue, which
      the caching kthread will wake the waiting threads up everytime it finds 2 meg
      worth of space, and then again when its finished caching.  This is how I tested
      the speedup from this
      
      mkfs the disk
      mount the disk
      fill the disk up with fs_mark
      unmount the disk
      mount the disk
      time touch /mnt/foo
      
      Without my changes this took 11 seconds on my box, with these changes it now
      takes 1 second.
      
      Another change thats been put in place is we lock the super mirror's in the
      pinned extent map in order to keep us from adding that stuff as free space when
      caching the block group.  This doesn't really change anything else as far as the
      pinned extent map is concerned, since for actual pinned extents we use
      EXTENT_DIRTY, but it does mean that when we unmount we have to go in and unlock
      those extents to keep from leaking memory.
      
      I've also added a check where when we are reading block groups from disk, if the
      amount of space used == the size of the block group, we go ahead and mark the
      block group as cached.  This drastically reduces the amount of time it takes to
      cache the block groups.  Using the same test as above, except doing a dd to a
      file and then unmounting, it used to take 33 seconds to umount, now it takes 3
      seconds.
      
      This version uses the commit_root in the caching kthread, and then keeps track
      of how many async caching threads are running at any given time so if one of the
      async threads is still running as we cross transactions we can wait until its
      finished before handling the pinned extents.  Thank you,

      Btrfs: use hybrid extents+bitmap rb tree for free space · 96303081
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      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,

      Btrfs: make sure all dirty blocks are written at commit time · 4a8c9a62
      Yan Zheng 提交于
      Write dirty block groups may allocate new block, and so may add new delayed
      back ref. btrfs_run_delayed_refs may make some block groups dirty.
      
      commit_cowonly_roots does not handle the recursion properly, and some dirty
      blocks can be left unwritten at commit time. This patch moves
      btrfs_run_delayed_refs into the loop that writes dirty block groups, and makes
      the code not break out of the loop until there are no dirty block groups or
      delayed back refs.

      Some SSDs perform best when reusing block numbers often, while

      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.

      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 oops and use after free during space balancing · 44fb5511
      Chris Mason 提交于
      The btrfs allocator uses list_for_each to walk the available block
      groups when searching for free blocks.  It starts off with a hint
      to help find the best block group for a given allocation.
      
      The hint is resolved into a block group, but we don't properly check
      to make sure the block group we find isn't in the middle of being
      freed due to filesystem shrinking or balancing.  If it is being
      freed, the list pointers in it are bogus and can't be trusted.  But,
      the code happily goes along and uses them in the list_for_each loop,
      leading to all kinds of fun.
      
      The fix used here is to check to make sure the block group we find really
      is on the list before we use it.  list_del_init is used when removing
      it from the list, so we can do a proper check.
      
      The allocation clustering code has a similar bug where it will trust
      the block group in the current free space cluster.  If our allocation
      flags have changed (going from single spindle dup to raid1 for example)
      because the drives in the FS have changed, we're not allowed to use
      the old block group any more.
      
      The fix used here is to check the current cluster against the
      current allocation flags.

      Btrfs: try to keep a healthy ratio of metadata vs data block groups · 97e728d4
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      This patch makes the chunk allocator keep a good ratio of metadata vs data
      block groups.  By default for every 8 data block groups, we'll allocate 1
      metadata chunk, or about 12% of the disk will be allocated for metadata.  This
      can be changed by specifying the metadata_ratio mount option.
      
      This is simply the number of data block groups that have to be allocated to
      force a metadata chunk allocation.  By making sure we allocate metadata chunks
      more often, we are less likely to get into situations where the whole disk
      has been allocated as data block groups.

      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 block group alloc mutex · 6226cb0a
      Josef Bacik 提交于
      This patch removes the block group alloc mutex used to protect the free space
      tree for allocations and replaces it with a spin lock which is used only to
      protect the free space rb tree.  This means we only take the lock when we are
      directly manipulating the tree, which makes us a touch faster with
      multi-threaded workloads.
      
      This patch also gets rid of btrfs_find_free_space and replaces it with
      btrfs_find_space_for_alloc, which takes the number of bytes you want to
      allocate, and empty_size, which is used to indicate how much free space should
      be at the end of the allocation.
      
      It will return an offset for the allocator to use.  If we don't end up using it
      we _must_ call btrfs_add_free_space to put it back.  This is the tradeoff to
      kill the alloc_mutex, since we need to make sure nobody else comes along and
      takes our space.
