The default btrfs mount -o compress mode will quickly back off
compressing a file if it notices that compression does not reduce the
size of the data being written. This can save considerable CPU because
all future writes to the file go through uncompressed.
But some files are both very large and have mixed data stored in
them. In that case, we want to add the ability to always try
compressing data before writing it.
This commit adds mount -o compress-force. A later commit will add
a new inode flag that does the same thing.

rpm has a habit of running fdatasync when the file hasn't
changed. We already detect if a file hasn't been changed

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

This patch moves the delalloc flushing that occurs when we are under space

metadata space when we actually insert the extent item, which means it takes

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.

The btrfs async worker threads are used for a wide variety of things,
including processing bio end_io functions. This means that when
the endio threads aren't running, the rest of the FS isn't
able to do the final processing required to clear PageWriteback.
The endio threads also try to exit as they become idle and
start more as the work piles up. The problem is that starting more
threads means kthreadd may need to allocate ram, and that allocation
may wait until the global number of writeback pages on the system is
below a certain limit.
The result of that throttling is that end IO threads wait on
kthreadd, who is waiting on IO to end, which will never happen.
This commit fixes the deadlock by handing off thread startup to a

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

checking to see if we have room to move this chunk around, and if not, return

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.

The first directory entry is distinguished by checking root forward

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.

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.

map tree until after the on-disk btree is properly setup with the new

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,

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,

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,

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 fallocate call takes an extent lock on the entire range

going into btrfs_drop_extents.
It turns out that at least one other caller had the same bug.

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.

The 'flushoncommit' mount option forces any data dirtied by a write in a
prior transaction to commit as part of the current commit. This makes
the committed state a fully consistent view of the file system from the
application's perspective (i.e., it includes all completed file system
operations). This was previously the behavior only when a snapshot is
created.
This is used by Ceph to ensure that completed writes make it to the
platter along with the metadata operations they are bound to (by
BTRFS_IOC_TRANS_{START,END}).
