btrfs_next_leaf was using blocking locks when it could have been using
faster spinning ones instead. This adds a few extra checks around
the pieces that block and switches over to spinning locks.

The delayed reference mechanism is responsible for all updates to the
extent allocation trees, including those updates created while processing
the delayed references.
This commit tries to limit the amount of work that gets created during
the final run of delayed refs before a commit. It avoids cowing new blocks
unless it is required to finish the commit, and so it avoids new allocations
that were not really required.
The goal is to avoid infinite loops where we are always making more work
on the final run of delayed refs. Over the long term we'll make a
special log for the last delayed ref updates as well.

btrfs_mark_buffer dirty would set dirty bits in the extent_io tree
for the buffers it was dirtying. This may require a kmalloc and it
was not atomic. So, anyone who called btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty had to
set any btree locks they were holding to blocking first.
This commit changes dirty tracking for extent buffers to just use a flag
in the extent buffer. Now that we have one and only one extent buffer
per page, this can be safely done without losing dirty bits along the way.
This also introduces a path->leave_spinning flag that callers of
btrfs_search_slot can use to indicate they will properly deal with a
path returned where all the locks are spinning instead of blocking.
Many of the btree search callers now expect spinning paths,
resulting in better btree concurrency overall.

Many of the tree balancing functions follow the same pattern.
1) cow a block
2) do something to the result
This commit breaks them up into two functions so the variables and
code required for part two don't suck down stack during part one.

The extent allocation tree maintains a reference count and full
back reference information for every extent allocated in the
filesystem. For subvolume and snapshot trees, every time
a block goes through COW, the new copy of the block adds a reference
on every block it points to.
If a btree node points to 150 leaves, then the COW code needs to go
and add backrefs on 150 different extents, which might be spread all
over the extent allocation tree.
These updates currently happen during btrfs_cow_block, and most COWs
happen during btrfs_search_slot. btrfs_search_slot has locks held
on both the parent and the node we are COWing, and so we really want
to avoid IO during the COW if we can.
This commit adds an rbtree of pending reference count updates and extent
allocations. The tree is ordered by byte number of the extent and byte number
of the parent for the back reference. The tree allows us to:
1) Modify back references in something close to disk order, reducing seeks
2) Significantly reduce the number of modifications made as block pointers
are balanced around
3) Do all of the extent insertion and back reference modifications outside
of the performance critical btrfs_search_slot code.
#3 has the added benefit of greatly reducing the btrfs stack footprint.
The extent allocation tree modifications are done without the deep
(and somewhat recursive) call chains used in the past.
These delayed back reference updates must be done before the transaction
commits, and so the rbtree is tied to the transaction. Throttling is
implemented to help keep the queue of backrefs at a reasonable size.
Since there was a similar mechanism in place for the extent tree
extents, that is removed and replaced by the delayed reference tree.

In order to avoid doing expensive extent management with tree locks held,
btrfs_search_slot will preallocate tree blocks for use by COW without
any tree locks held.
A later commit moves all of the extent allocation work for COW into
a delayed update mechanism, and this preallocation will no longer be
required.

btrfs_tree_locked was being used to make sure a given extent_buffer was
properly locked in a few places. But, it wasn't correct for UP compiled
kernels.
This switches it to using assert_spin_locked instead, and renames it to
btrfs_assert_tree_locked to better reflect how it was really being used.

Btrfs is currently using spin_lock_nested with a nested value based
on the tree depth of the block. But, this doesn't quite work because
the max tree depth is bigger than what spin_lock_nested can deal with,
and because locks are sometimes taken before the level field is filled in.
The solution here is to use lockdep_set_class_and_name instead, and to
set the class before unlocking the pages when the block is read from the
disk and just after init of a freshly allocated tree block.
btrfs_clear_path_blocking is also changed to take the locks in the proper
order, and it also makes sure all the locks currently held are properly
set to blocking before it tries to retake the spinlocks. Otherwise, lockdep
gets upset about bad lock orderin.

Btrfs was using spin_is_contended to see if it should drop locks before
doing extent allocations during btrfs_search_slot. The idea was to avoid
expensive searches in the tree unless the lock was actually contended.
But, spin_is_contended is specific to the ticket spinlocks on x86, so this
is causing compile errors everywhere else.
In practice, the contention could easily appear some time after we started
doing the extent allocation, and it makes more sense to always drop the lock
instead.

Whenever an item deletion is done, we need to balance all the nodes
in the tree to make sure we don't end up with an empty node if a pointer
is deleted. This balance prep happens from the root of the tree down
so we can drop our locks as we go.
reada_for_balance was triggering read-ahead on neighboring nodes even
when no balancing was required. This adds an extra check to avoid
calling balance_level() and avoid reada_for_balance() when a balance
won't be required.

btrfs_del_leaf does two things. First it removes the pointer in the
parent, and then it frees the block that has the leaf. It has the
parent node locked for both operations.
But, it only needs the parent locked while it is deleting the pointer.
After that it can safely free the block without the parent locked.

Most of the btrfs metadata operations can be protected by a spinlock,
but some operations still need to schedule.
So far, btrfs has been using a mutex along with a trylock loop,
most of the time it is able to avoid going for the full mutex, so
the trylock loop is a big performance gain.
This commit is step one for getting rid of the blocking locks entirely.
btrfs_tree_lock takes a spinlock, and the code explicitly switches
to a blocking lock when it starts an operation that can schedule.
We'll be able get rid of the blocking locks in smaller pieces over time.
Tracing allows us to find the most common cause of blocking, so we
can start with the hot spots first.
The basic idea is:
btrfs_tree_lock() returns with the spin lock held
btrfs_set_lock_blocking() sets the EXTENT_BUFFER_BLOCKING bit in
the extent buffer flags, and then drops the spin lock. The buffer is
still considered locked by all of the btrfs code.
If btrfs_tree_lock gets the spinlock but finds the blocking bit set, it drops
the spin lock and waits on a wait queue for the blocking bit to go away.
Much of the code that needs to set the blocking bit finishes without actually
blocking a good percentage of the time. So, an adaptive spin is still
used against the blocking bit to avoid very high context switch rates.
btrfs_clear_lock_blocking() clears the blocking bit and returns
with the spinlock held again.
btrfs_tree_unlock() can be called on either blocking or spinning locks,
it does the right thing based on the blocking bit.
ctree.c has a helper function to set/clear all the locked buffers in a
path as blocking.

Before metadata is written to disk, it is updated to reflect that writeout
has begun. Once this update is done, the block must be cow'd before it
can be modified again.
This update was originally synchronized by using a per-fs spinlock. Today
the buffers for the metadata blocks are locked before writeout begins,
and everyone that tests the flag has the buffer locked as well.
So, the per-fs spinlock (called hash_lock for no good reason) is no
longer required.

Just before reading a leaf, btrfs scans the node for blocks that are
close by and reads them too. It tries to build up a large window
of IO looking for blocks that are within a max distance from the top
and bottom of the IO window.
This patch changes things to just look for blocks within 64k of the
target block. It will trigger less IO and make for lower latencies on
the read size.

The compression code was using isize to limit the amount of data it
sent through zlib. But, it wasn't properly limiting the looping to
just the pages inside i_size. The end result was trying to compress
too many pages, including those that had not been setup and properly locked
down. This made the compression code oops while trying find_get_page on a
page that didn't exist.

This finishes off the new checksumming code by removing csum items
for extents that are no longer in use.
The trick is doing it without racing because a single csum item may
hold csums for more than one extent. Extra checks are added to
btrfs_csum_file_blocks to make sure that we are using the correct
csum item after dropping locks.
A new btrfs_split_item is added to split a single csum item so it
can be split without dropping the leaf lock. This is used to
remove csum bytes from the middle of an item.

It is possible that generic_bin_search will be called on a tree block
that has not been locked. This happens because cache_block_block skips
locking on the tree blocks.
Since the tree block isn't locked, we aren't allowed to change
the extent_buffer->map_token field. Using map_private_extent_buffer
avoids any changes to the internal extent buffer fields.

Seed device is a special btrfs with SEEDING super flag
set and can only be mounted in read-only mode. Seed
devices allow people to create new btrfs on top of it.
The new FS contains the same contents as the seed device,
but it can be mounted in read-write mode.
This patch does the following:
1) split code in btrfs_alloc_chunk into two parts. The first part does makes
the newly allocated chunk usable, but does not do any operation that modifies
the chunk tree. The second part does the the chunk tree modifications. This
division is for the bootstrap step of adding storage to the seed device.
2) Update device management code to handle seed device.
The basic idea is: For an FS grown from seed devices, its
seed devices are put into a list. Seed devices are
opened on demand at mounting time. If any seed device is
missing or has been changed, btrfs kernel module will
refuse to mount the FS.
3) make btrfs_find_block_group not return NULL when all
block groups are read-only.

While profiling the allocator I noticed a good amount of time was being spent in
finish_current_insert and del_pending_extents, and as the filesystem filled up
more and more time was being spent in those functions. This patch aims to try
and reduce that problem. This happens two ways
1) track if we tried to delete an extent that we are going to update or insert.
Once we get into finish_current_insert we discard any of the extents that were
marked for deletion. This saves us from doing unnecessary work almost every
time finish_current_insert runs.
2) Batch insertion/updates/deletions. Instead of doing a btrfs_search_slot for
each individual extent and doing the needed operation, we instead keep the leaf
around and see if there is anything else we can do on that leaf. On the insert
case I introduced a btrfs_insert_some_items, which will take an array of keys
with an array of data_sizes and try and squeeze in as many of those keys as
possible, and then return how many keys it was able to insert. In the update
case we search for an extent ref, update the ref and then loop through the leaf
to see if any of the other refs we are looking to update are on that leaf, and
then once we are done we release the path and search for the next ref we need to
update. And finally for the deletion we try and delete the extent+ref in pairs,
so we will try to find extent+ref pairs next to the extent we are trying to free
and free them in bulk if possible.
This along with the other cluster fix that Chris pushed out a bit ago helps make
the allocator preform more uniformly as it fills up the disk. There is still a
slight drop as we fill up the disk since we start having to stick new blocks in
odd places which results in more COW's than on a empty fs, but the drop is not
nearly as severe as it was before.

This fixes latency problems on metadata reads by making sure they
don't go through the async submit queue, and by tuning down the amount
of readahead done during btree searches.
Also, the btrfs bdi congestion function is tuned to ignore the
number of pending async bios and checksums pending. There is additional
code that throttles new async bios now and the congestion function
doesn't need to worry about it anymore.

This patch removes the giant fs_info->alloc_mutex and replaces it with a bunch
of little locks.
There is now a pinned_mutex, which is used when messing with the pinned_extents
extent io tree, and the extent_ins_mutex which is used with the pending_del and
extent_ins extent io trees.
The locking for the extent tree stuff was inspired by a patch that Yan Zheng
wrote to fix a race condition, I cleaned it up some and changed the locking
around a little bit, but the idea remains the same. Basically instead of
holding the extent_ins_mutex throughout the processing of an extent on the
extent_ins or pending_del trees, we just hold it while we're searching and when
we clear the bits on those trees, and lock the extent for the duration of the
operations on the extent.
Also to keep from getting hung up waiting to lock an extent, I've added a
try_lock_extent so if we cannot lock the extent, move on to the next one in the
tree and we'll come back to that one. I have tested this heavily and it does
not appear to break anything. This has to be applied on top of my
find_free_extent redo patch.
I tested this patch on top of Yan's space reblancing code and it worked fine.
The only thing that has changed since the last version is I pulled out all my
debugging stuff, apparently I forgot to run guilt refresh before I sent the
last patch out. Thank you,

This patch improves the space balancing code to keep more sharing
of tree blocks. The only case that breaks sharing of tree blocks is
data extents get fragmented during balancing. The main changes in
this patch are:
Add a 'drop sub-tree' function. This solves the problem in old code
that BTRFS_HEADER_FLAG_WRITTEN check breaks sharing of tree block.
Remove relocation mapping tree. Relocation mappings are stored in
struct btrfs_ref_path and updated dynamically during walking up/down
the reference path. This reduces CPU usage and simplifies code.
This patch also fixes a bug. Root items for reloc trees should be
updated in btrfs_free_reloc_root.

The offset field in struct btrfs_extent_ref records the position
inside file that file extent is referenced by. In the new back

are recorded explicitly. We can scan these tree leaves very quickly, so the

This patch also makes the back reference system check the objectid
when extents are in deleting.

Checksum items take up a significant portion of the metadata for large files.
It is possible to avoid reading them during truncates by checking the keys in
the higher level nodes.
If a given leaf is followed by another leaf where the lowest key is a checksum
item from the same file, we know we can safely delete the leaf without
reading it.
For a 32GB file on a 6 drive raid0 array, Btrfs needs 8s to delete
the file with a cold cache. It is read bound during the run.
With this change, Btrfs is able to delete the file in 0.5s

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
from merging data extents that are in the process of being
relocated. This allows us to do accounting for them properly.
* The balancing code relocates data extents indepdent of the underlying
inode. The extent_map code was modified to properly account for
things moving around (invalidating extent_map caches in the inode).
* Don't take the drop_mutex in the create_subvol ioctl. It isn't

* Fix walking of the ordered extent list to avoid races with sys_unlink
* Change the lock ordering rules. Transaction start goes outside
the drop_mutex. This allows btrfs_commit_transaction to directly

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.

A btree block cow has two parts, the first is to allocate a destination
block and the second is to copy the old bock over.
The first part needs locks in the extent allocation tree, and may need to
do IO. This changeset splits that into a separate function that can be
called without any tree locks held.
btrfs_search_slot is changed to drop its path and start over if it has
to COW a contended block. This often means that many writers will
pre-alloc a new destination for a the same contended block, but they
cache their prealloc for later use on lower levels in the tree.

The memory reclaiming issue happens when snapshot exists. In that
case, some cache entries may not be used during old snapshot dropping,
so they will remain in the cache until umount.
The patch adds a field to struct btrfs_leaf_ref to record create time. Besides,
the patch makes all dead roots of a given snapshot linked together in order of
create time. After a old snapshot was completely dropped, we check the dead
root list and remove all cache entries created before the oldest dead root in
the list.

This calls unlock_up sooner in btrfs_search_slot in order to decrease the
amount of work done with the higher level tree locks held.
Also, it changes btrfs_tree_lock to spin for a big against the page lock
before scheduling. This makes a big difference in context switch rate under
highly contended workloads.
Longer term, a better locking structure is needed than the page lock.
