2008-12-12Btrfs: fix nodatasum handling in balancing codeYan Zheng
Checksums on data can be disabled by mount option, so it's possible some data extents don't have checksums or have invalid checksums. This causes trouble for data relocation. This patch contains following things to make data relocation work. 1) make nodatasum/nodatacow mount option only affects new files. Checksums and COW on data are only controlled by the inode flags. 2) check the existence of checksum in the nodatacow checker. If checksums exist, force COW the data extent. This ensure that checksum for a given block is either valid or does not exist. 3) update data relocation code to properly handle the case of checksum missing.

2008-12-08Btrfs: move data checksumming into a dedicated treeChris Mason
Btrfs stores checksums for each data block. Until now, they have been stored in the subvolume trees, indexed by the inode that is referencing the data block. This means that when we read the inode, we've probably read in at least some checksums as well. But, this has a few problems: * The checksums are indexed by logical offset in the file. When compression is on, this means we have to do the expensive checksumming on the uncompressed data. It would be faster if we could checksum the compressed data instead. * If we implement encryption, we'll be checksumming the plain text and storing that on disk. This is significantly less secure. * For either compression or encryption, we have to get the plain text back before we can verify the checksum as correct. This makes the raid layer balancing and extent moving much more expensive. * It makes the front end caching code more complex, as we have touch the subvolume and inodes as we cache extents. * There is potentitally one copy of the checksum in each subvolume referencing an extent. The solution used here is to store the extent checksums in a dedicated tree. This allows us to index the checksums by phyiscal extent start and length. It means: * The checksum is against the data stored on disk, after any compression or encryption is done. * The checksum is stored in a central location, and can be verified without following back references, or reading inodes. This makes compression significantly faster by reducing the amount of data that needs to be checksummed. It will also allow much faster raid management code in general. The checksums are indexed by a key with a fixed objectid (a magic value in ctree.h) and offset set to the starting byte of the extent. This allows us to copy the checksum items into the fsync log tree directly (or any other tree), without having to invent a second format for them. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

2008-11-10Btrfs: Fix use after free during compressed readsChris Mason
Yan's fix to use the correct file offset during compressed reads used the extent_map struct pointer after it had been freed. This saves the fields we want for later use instead. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2008-11-10Btrfs: Fix csum error for compressed dataYan Zheng
The decompress code doesn't take the logical offset in extent pointer into account. If the logical offset isn't zero, data will be decompressed into wrong pages. The solution used here is to record the starting offset of the extent in the file separately from the logical start of the extent_map struct. This allows us to avoid problems inserting overlapping extents. Signed-off-by: Yan Zheng <zheng.yan@oracle.com>
2008-11-07Btrfs: make sure compressed bios don't complete too soonChris Mason
When writing a compressed extent, a number of bios are created that point to a single struct compressed_bio. At end_io time an atomic counter in the compressed_bio struct makes sure that all of the bios have finished before final end_io processing is done. But when multiple bios are needed to write a compressed extent, the counter was being incremented after the first bio was sent to submit_bio. It is possible the bio will complete before the counter is incremented, making the end_io handler free the compressed_bio struct before processing is finished. The fix is to increment the atomic counter before bio submission, both for compressed reads and writes. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2008-11-06Btrfs: Optimize compressed writeback and readsChris Mason
When reading compressed extents, try to put pages into the page cache for any pages covered by the compressed extent that readpages didn't already preload. Add an async work queue to handle transformations at delayed allocation processing time. Right now this is just compression. The workflow is: 1) Find offsets in the file marked for delayed allocation 2) Lock the pages 3) Lock the state bits 4) Call the async delalloc code The async delalloc code clears the state lock bits and delalloc bits. It is important this happens before the range goes into the work queue because otherwise it might deadlock with other work queue items that try to lock those extent bits. The file pages are compressed, and if the compression doesn't work the pages are written back directly. An ordered work queue is used to make sure the inodes are written in the same order that pdflush or writepages sent them down. This changes extent_write_cache_pages to let the writepage function update the wbc nr_written count. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2008-10-31Btrfs: Compression corner fixesChris Mason
Make sure we keep page->mapping NULL on the pages we're getting via alloc_page. It gets set so a few of the callbacks can do the right thing, but in general these pages don't have a mapping. Don't try to truncate compressed inline items in btrfs_drop_extents. The whole compressed item must be preserved. Don't try to create multipage inline compressed items. When we try to overwrite just the first page of the file, we would have to read in and recow all the pages after it in the same compressed inline items. For now, only create single page inline items. Make sure we lock pages in the correct order during delalloc. The search into the state tree for delalloc bytes can return bytes before the page we already have locked.

2008-10-30Btrfs: walk compressed pages based on the nr_pages count instead of bytesChris Mason
The byte walk counting was awkward and error prone. This uses the number of pages sent the higher layer to build bios. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2008-10-29Btrfs: Add zlib compression supportChris Mason
This is a large change for adding compression on reading and writing, both for inline and regular extents. It does some fairly large surgery to the writeback paths. Compression is off by default and enabled by mount -o compress. Even when the -o compress mount option is not used, it is possible to read compressed extents off the disk. If compression for a given set of pages fails to make them smaller, the file is flagged to avoid future compression attempts later. * While finding delalloc extents, the pages are locked before being sent down to the delalloc handler. This allows the delalloc handler to do complex things such as cleaning the pages, marking them writeback and starting IO on their behalf. * Inline extents are inserted at delalloc time now. This allows us to compress the data before inserting the inline extent, and it allows us to insert an inline extent that spans multiple pages. * All of the in-memory extent representations (extent_map.c, ordered-data.c etc) are changed to record both an in-memory size and an on disk size, as well as a flag for compression. From a disk format point of view, the extent pointers in the file are changed to record the on disk size of a given extent and some encoding flags. Space in the disk format is allocated for compression encoding, as well as encryption and a generic 'other' field. Neither the encryption or the 'other' field are currently used. In order to limit the amount of data read for a single random read in the file, the size of a compressed extent is limited to 128k. This is a software only limit, the disk format supports u64 sized compressed extents. In order to limit the ram consumed while processing extents, the uncompressed size of a compressed extent is limited to 256k. This is a software only limit and will be subject to tuning later. Checksumming is still done on compressed extents, and it is done on the uncompressed version of the data. This way additional encodings can be layered on without having to figure out which encoding to checksum. Compression happens at delalloc time, which is basically singled threaded because it is usually done by a single pdflush thread. This makes it tricky to spread the compression load across all the cpus on the box. We'll have to look at parallel pdflush walks of dirty inodes at a later time. Decompression is hooked into readpages and it does spread across CPUs nicely. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
