This fixes a deadlock that happens between the alloc_mutex and chunk_mutex.
Process A comes in, decides to do a do_chunk_alloc, which takes the
chunk_mutex, and is holding the alloc_mutex because the only way you get to
do_chunk_alloc is by holding the alloc_mutex. btrfs_alloc_chunk does its thing
and goes to insert a new item, which results in a cow of the block.
We get into del_pending_extents from there, where if we need to be rescheduled
we drop the alloc_mutex and schedule. At this point process B comes in to do
an allocation and gets the alloc_mutex, and because process A did not do the
chunk allocation completely it thinks its a good time to do a chunk allocation
as well, and hangs on the chunk_mutex.
Process A wakes up and tries to take the alloc_mutex and cannot. The way to
fix this is do a mutex_trylock() on chunk_mutex. If we return 0 we didn't get
the lock, and if this is just a "hey it may be a good time to allocate a chunk"
then we just exit. If we are trying to force an allocation then we reschedule
and keep trying to acquire the chunk_mutex. If once we acquire it the space is
already full then we can just exit, otherwise we can continue with the chunk
allocation. Thank you,

When reading in block groups, a global mask of the available raid policies
should be adjusted based on the types of block groups found on disk. This
global mask is then used to decide which raid policy to use for new
block groups.
The recent allocator changes dropped the call that updated the global
mask, making all the block groups allocated at run time single striped
onto a single drive.
This also fixes the async worker threads to set any thread that uses
the requeue mechanism as busy. This allows us to avoid blocking
on get_request_wait for the async bio submission threads.

This patch fixes a problem where we end up seeking too much when *last_ptr is
valid. This happens because btrfs_lookup_first_block_group only returns a
block group that starts on or after the given search start, so if the
search_start is in the middle of a block group it will return the block group
after the given search_start, which is suboptimal.
This patch fixes that by doing a btrfs_lookup_block_group, which will return
the block group that contains the given search start. If we fail to find a
block group, we fall back on btrfs_lookup_first_block_group so we can find the
next block group, not sure if this is absolutely needed, but better safe than
sorry.
Also if we can't find the block group that we need, or it happens to not be of
the right type, we need to add empty_cluster since *last_ptr could point to a
mismatched block group, which means we need to start over with empty_cluster
added to total needed. Thank you,

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.

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.

* Add an EXTENT_BOUNDARY state bit to keep the writepage code

* The balancing code relocates data extents indepdent of the underlying

things moving around (invalidating extent_map caches in the inode).
* Don't take the drop_mutex in the create_subvol ioctl. It isn't

Btrfs has a cache of reference counts in leaves, allowing it to
avoid reading tree leaves while deleting snapshots. To reduce
contention with multiple subvolumes, this cache is private to each
subvolume.

Btrfs metadata writeback is fairly expensive. Once a tree block is written
it must be cowed before it can be changed again. The btree writepages
code has a threshold based on a count of dirty btree bytes which is
updated as IO is sent out.
This changes btree_writepages to skip the writeout if there are less
than 32MB of dirty bytes from the btrees, improving performance
across many workloads.

The code to update the on disk i_size happens before the
ordered_extent record is removed. So, it is possible for multiple
ordered_extent completion routines to run at the same time, and to
find each other in the ordered tree.
The end result is they both decide not to update disk_i_size, leaving
it too small. This temporary fix just puts the updates inside
the extent_mutex. A real solution would be stronger ordering of
disk_i_size updates against removing the ordered extent from the tree.

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.

This is the same way the transaction code makes sure that all the
other tree blocks are safely on disk. There's an extent_io tree
for each root, and any blocks allocated to the tree logs are
recorded in that tree.
At tree-log sync, the extent_io tree is walked to flush down the
dirty pages and wait for them.
The main benefit is less time spent walking the tree log and skipping
clean pages, and getting sequential IO down to the drive.

* Pin down data blocks to prevent them from being reallocated like so:
trans 1: allocate file extent
trans 2: free file extent
trans 3: free file extent during old snapshot deletion
trans 3: allocate file extent to new file
trans 3: fsync new file
Before the tree logging code, this was legal because the fsync
would commit the transation that did the final data extent free
and the transaction that allocated the extent to the new file
at the same time.
With the tree logging code, the tree log subtransaction can commit
before the transaction that freed the extent. If we crash,
we're left with two different files using the extent.
* Don't wait in start_transaction if log replay is going on. This
avoids deadlocks from iput while we're cleaning up link counts in the
replay code.
* Don't deadlock in replay_one_name by trying to read an inode off
the disk while holding paths for the directory
* Hold the buffer lock while we mark a buffer as written. This
closes a race where someone is changing a buffer while we write it.
They are supposed to mark it dirty again after they change it, but

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.
