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.

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. Signed-off-by: NJosef Bacik <jbacik@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NChris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

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.

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. Signed-off-by: NJosef Bacik <jbacik@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NChris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

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 the last block group. Signed-off-by: NChris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

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.

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 -fix a bug in btrfs_shrink_device where we would change the device's size and not fix it if we fail to do our relocate Signed-off-by: NJosef Bacik <jbacik@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: NChris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

This patch contains two changes to avoid unnecessary tree block reads during snapshot dropping. First, check tree block's reference count and flags before reading the tree block. if reference count > 1 and there is no need to update backrefs, we can avoid reading the tree block. 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.

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. Signed-off-by: NYan Zheng <zheng.yan@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: NChris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

There are two main users of the extent_map tree. The first is regular file inodes, where it is evenly spread between readers and writers. The second is the chunk allocation tree, which maps blocks from logical addresses to phyiscal ones, and it is 99.99% reads.

The async caching thread can end up looping forever if a given search puts it at the last key in a leaf. It will end up calling btrfs_next_leaf and then checking if it needs to politely drop the read semaphore. Most of the time this looping isn't noticed because it is able to make progress the next time around. But, during log replay, we wait on the async caching thread to finish, and the async thread is waiting on the commit, and no progress is really made. The fix used here is to copy the key out of the next leaf, that way our search lands there properly. Signed-off-by: NChris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

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 looping is done.

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.

Btrfs allocates individual extents from block groups, and each block group has a specific type. It may hold metadata, data mirrored or striped etc. When we balance space (btrfs-vol -b) or remove a drive (btrfs-vol -r) we free block groups. Once a block group is freed, the space it was using on the device may be available for use by new block groups. btrfs_remove_block_group was clearing the flag that said 'our devices are full, don't even try to allocate new block groups', but it was only clearing that flag for a specific type of block group. This commit clears the full flag for all of the types of block groups, making it much more likely that we'll be able to balance space when the drive is close to full.

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.

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.

The new backref format has restriction on type of backref item. If a tree block isn't referenced by its owner tree, full backrefs must be used for the pointers in it. When a tree block loses its owner tree's reference, backrefs for the pointers in it should be updated to full backrefs. Current btrfs_drop_snapshot misses the code that updates backrefs, so it's unsafe for general use. This patch adds backrefs update code to btrfs_drop_snapshot.

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.

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. Signed-off-by: NChris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

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.

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. Signed-off-by: NChris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

We also don't need it when caching the block group since searching through the tree is also protected by the internal map spin lock. Signed-off-by: NJosef Bacik <jbacik@redhat.com>

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. Signed-off-by: NJosef Bacik <jbacik@redhat.com>

I've replaced the strange looping constructs with a list_for_each_entry on space_info->block_groups. If we have a hint we just jump into the loop with the block group and start looking for space. If we don't find anything we start at the beginning and start looking. We never come out of the loop with a ref on the block_group _unless_ we found space to use, then we drop it after we set the trans block_group. Signed-off-by: NJosef Bacik <jbacik@redhat.com>

This patch cleans up the free space cache code a bit. It better documents the idiosyncrasies of tree_search_offset and makes the code make a bit more sense. I took out the info allocation at the start of __btrfs_add_free_space and put it where it makes more sense. This was left over cruft from when alloc_mutex existed. Also all of the re-searches we do to make sure we inserted properly. Signed-off-by: NJosef Bacik <jbacik@redhat.com>

COW means we cycle though blocks fairly quickly, and once we free an extent on disk, it doesn't make much sense to keep the pages around. This commit tries to immediately free the page when we free the extent, which lowers our memory footprint significantly. Signed-off-by: NChris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
