The data in fs_info->super_for_commit are zeros before the
first transaction commit. If tree log sync and system crash
both occur before the first transaction commit, super block
will get corrupted.
This fixes it by properly filling in the super_for_commit field at
open time.

bio_end_io for reads without checksumming on and btree writes were
happening without using async thread pools. This means the extent_io.c
code had to use spin_lock_irq and friends on the rb tree locks for
extent state.
There were some irq safe vs unsafe lock inversions between the delallock
lock and the extent state locks. This patch gets rid of them by moving
all end_io code into the thread pools.
To avoid contention and deadlocks between the data end_io processing and the
metadata end_io processing yet another thread pool is added to finish
off metadata writes.

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.

This adds the necessary disk format for handling compatibility flags
in the future to handle disk format changes. We have a compat_flags,
compat_ro_flags and incompat_flags set for the super block. Compat
flags will be to hold the features that are compatible with older
versions of btrfs, compat_ro flags have features that are compatible
with older versions of btrfs if the fs is mounted read only, and
incompat_flags has features that are incompatible with older versions
of btrfs. This also axes the compat_flags field for the inode and
just makes the flags field a 64bit field, and changes the root item
flags field to 64bit.

fsync log replay can change the filesystem, so it cannot be delayed until
mount -o rw,remount, and it can't be forgotten entirely. So, this patch
changes btrfs to do with reiserfs, ext3 and xfs do, which is to do the
log replay even when mounted readonly.
On a readonly device if log replay is required, the mount is aborted.
Getting all of this right had required fixing up some of the error

While building large bios in writepages, btrfs may end up waiting
for other page writeback to finish if WB_SYNC_ALL is used.
While it is waiting, the bio it is building has a number of pages with the
writeback bit set and they aren't getting to the disk any time soon. This
lowers the latencies of writeback in general by sending down the bio being
built before waiting for other pages.
The bio submission code tries to limit the total number of async bios in
flight by waiting when we're over a certain number of async bios. But,
the waits are happening while writepages is building bios, and this can easily
lead to stalls and other problems for people calling wait_on_page_writeback.
The current fix is to let the congestion tests take care of waiting.
sync() and others make sure to drain the current async requests to make
sure that everything that was pending when the sync was started really get
to disk. The code would drain pending requests both before and after
submitting a new request.
But, if one of the requests is waiting for page writeback to finish,
the draining waits might block that page writeback. This changes the
draining code to only wait after submitting the bio being processed.

Before, all snapshots and subvolumes lived in a single flat directory. This
was awkward and confusing because the single flat directory was only writable
with the ioctls.
This commit changes the ioctls to create subvols and snapshots at any
point in the directory tree. This requires making separate ioctls for
snapshot and subvol creation instead of a combining them into one.
The subvol ioctl does:
btrfsctl -S subvol_name parent_dir
After the ioctl is done subvol_name lives inside parent_dir.
The snapshot ioctl does:
btrfsctl -s path_for_snapshot root_to_snapshot
path_for_snapshot can be an absolute or relative path. btrfsctl breaks it up
into directory and basename components.
root_to_snapshot can be any file or directory in the FS. The snapshot
is taken of the entire root where that file lives.

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.

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

code that throttles new async bios now and the congestion function

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.

Btrfs uses kernel threads to create async work queues for cpu intensive
operations such as checksumming and decompression. These work well,
but they make it difficult to keep IO order intact.
A single writepages call from pdflush or fsync will turn into a number
of bios, and each bio is checksummed in parallel. Once the checksum is
computed, the bio is sent down to the disk, and since we don't control
the order in which the parallel operations happen, they might go down to
the disk in almost any order.
The code deals with this somewhat by having deep work queues for a single
kernel thread, making it very likely that a single thread will process all
the bios for a single inode.
This patch introduces an explicitly ordered work queue. As work structs
are placed into the queue they are put onto the tail of a list. They have
three callbacks:
->func (cpu intensive processing here)
->ordered_func (order sensitive processing here)
->ordered_free (free the work struct, all processing is done)
The work struct has three callbacks. The func callback does the cpu intensive
work, and when it completes the work struct is marked as done.
Every time a work struct completes, the list is checked to see if the head
is marked as done. If so the ordered_func callback is used to do the
order sensitive processing and the ordered_free callback is used to do
any cleanup. Then we loop back and check the head of the list again.
This patch also changes the checksumming code to use the ordered workqueues.
One a 4 drive array, it increases streaming writes from 280MB/s to 350MB/s.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

than 32MB of dirty bytes from the btrees, improving performance
across many workloads.

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
this violates the cow rules.

File syncs and directory syncs are optimized by copying their
items into a special (copy-on-write) log tree. There is one log tree per
subvolume and the btrfs super block points to a tree of log tree roots.
After a crash, items are copied out of the log tree and back into the
subvolume. See tree-log.c for all the details.
