2009-06-16btrfs: properly register fs backing deviceJens Axboe
btrfs assigns this bdi to all inodes on that file system, so make sure it's registered. This isn't really important now, but will be when we put dirty inodes there. Even now, we miss the stats when the bdi isn't visible. Also fixes failure to check bdi_init() return value, and bad inherit of ->capabilities flags from the default bdi.

2009-06-10Btrfs: pin buffers during write_dev_supersHisashi Hifumi
write_dev_supers is called in sequence. First is it called with wait == 0, which starts IO on all of the super blocks for a given device. Then it is called with wait == 1 to make sure they all reach the disk. It doesn't currently pin the buffers between the two calls, and it also assumes the buffers won't go away between the two calls, leading to an oops if the VM manages to free the buffers in the middle of the sync. This fixes that assumption and updates the code to return an error if things are not up to date when the wait == 1 run is done.

2009-06-10Btrfs: avoid races between super writeout and device list updatesChris Mason
On multi-device filesystems, btrfs writes supers to all of the devices before considering a sync complete. There wasn't any additional locking between super writeout and the device list management code because device management was done inside a transaction and super writeout only happened with no transation writers running. With the btrfs fsync log and other async transaction updates, this has been racey for some time. This adds a mutex to protect the device list. The existing volume mutex could not be reused due to transaction lock ordering requirements. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

2009-06-10Btrfs: fix metadata dirty throttling limitsChris Mason
Once a metadata block has been written, it must be recowed, so the btrfs dirty balancing call has a check to make sure a fair amount of metadata was actually dirty before it started writing it back to disk. A previous commit had changed the dirty tracking for metadata without updating the btrfs dirty balancing checks. This commit switches it to use the correct counter.

2009-06-10Btrfs: Mixed back reference (FORWARD ROLLING FORMAT CHANGE)Yan Zheng
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.

2009-04-24Btrfs: try to keep a healthy ratio of metadata vs data block groupsJosef Bacik
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.

2009-04-20Btrfs: add a priority queue to the async thread helpersChris Mason
Btrfs is using WRITE_SYNC_PLUG to send down synchronous IOs with a higher priority. But, the checksumming helper threads prevent it from being fully effective. There are two problems. First, a big queue of pending checksumming will delay the synchronous IO behind other lower priority writes. Second, the checksumming uses an ordered async work queue. The ordering makes sure that IOs are sent to the block layer in the same order they are sent to the checksumming threads. Usually this gives us less seeky IO. But, when we start mixing IO priorities, the lower priority IO can delay the higher priority IO. This patch solves both problems by adding a high priority list to the async helper threads, and a new btrfs_set_work_high_prio(), which is used to make put a new async work item onto the higher priority list. The ordering is still done on high priority IO, but all of the high priority bios are ordered separately from the low priority bios. This ordering is purely an IO optimization, it is not involved in data or metadata integrity. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-04-20Btrfs: use WRITE_SYNC for synchronous writesChris Mason
Part of reducing fsync/O_SYNC/O_DIRECT latencies is using WRITE_SYNC for writes we plan on waiting on in the near future. This patch mirrors recent changes in other filesystems and the generic code to use WRITE_SYNC when WB_SYNC_ALL is passed and to use WRITE_SYNC for other latency critical writes. Btrfs uses async worker threads for checksumming before the write is done, and then again to actually submit the bios. The bio submission code just runs a per-device list of bios that need to be sent down the pipe. This list is split into low priority and high priority lists so the WRITE_SYNC IO happens first.

2009-04-03Btrfs: rework allocation clusteringChris Mason
Because btrfs is copy-on-write, we end up picking new locations for blocks very often. This makes it fairly difficult to maintain perfect read patterns over time, but we can at least do some optimizations for writes. This is done today by remembering the last place we allocated and trying to find a free space hole big enough to hold more than just one allocation. The end result is that we tend to write sequentially to the drive. This happens all the time for metadata and it happens for data when mounted -o ssd. But, the way we record it is fairly racey and it tends to fragment the free space over time because we are trying to allocate fairly large areas at once. This commit gets rid of the races by adding a free space cluster object with dedicated locking to make sure that only one process at a time is out replacing the cluster. The free space fragmentation is somewhat solved by allowing a cluster to be comprised of smaller free space extents. This part definitely adds some CPU time to the cluster allocations, but it allows the allocator to consume the small holes left behind by cow. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-04-03Btrfs: kill the pinned_mutexJosef Bacik

2009-03-31Btrfs: add extra flushing for renames and truncatesChris Mason
Renames and truncates are both common ways to replace old data with new data. The filesystem can make an effort to make sure the new data is on disk before actually replacing the old data. This is especially important for rename, which many application use as though it were atomic for both the data and the metadata involved. The current btrfs code will happily replace a file that is fully on disk with one that was just created and still has pending IO. If we crash after transaction commit but before the IO is done, we'll end up replacing a good file with a zero length file. The solution used here is to create a list of inodes that need special ordering and force them to disk before the commit is done. This is similar to the ext3 style data=ordering, except it is only done on selected files. Btrfs is able to get away with this because it does not wait on commits very often, even for fsync (which use a sub-commit). For renames, we order the file when it wasn't already on disk and when it is replacing an existing file. Larger files are sent to filemap_flush right away (before the transaction handle is opened). For truncates, we order if the file goes from non-zero size down to zero size. This is a little different, because at the time of the truncate the file has no dirty bytes to order. But, we flag the inode so that it is added to the ordered list on close (via release method). We also immediately add it to the ordered list of the current transaction so that we can try to flush down any writes the application sneaks in before commit.

2009-03-24Btrfs: leave btree locks spinning more oftenChris Mason
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. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-03-24Btrfs: process the delayed reference queue in clustersChris Mason
The delayed reference queue maintains pending operations that need to be done to the extent allocation tree. These are processed by finding records in the tree that are not currently being processed one at a time. This is slow because it uses lots of time searching through the rbtree and because it creates lock contention on the extent allocation tree when lots of different procs are running delayed refs at the same time. This commit changes things to grab a cluster of refs for processing, using a cursor into the rbtree as the starting point of the next search. This way we walk smoothly through the rbtree.

2009-03-24Btrfs: do extent allocation and reference count updates in the backgroundChris Mason
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. Yan Zheng <yan.zheng@oracle.com> helped review and fixup this code. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-03-09Btrfs: fix spinlock assertions on UP systemsChris Mason
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. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-02-12Btrfs: make a lockdep class for the extent buffer locksChris Mason
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. The lockdep magic cam from Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-02-04Btrfs: Change btree locking to use explicit blocking pointsChris Mason
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.

2009-02-04Btrfs: hash_lock is no longer neededChris Mason
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. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

2009-01-21Btrfs: fix tree logs parallel syncYan Zheng
To improve performance, btrfs_sync_log merges tree log sync requests. But it wrongly merges sync requests for different tree logs. If multiple tree logs are synced at the same time, only one of them actually gets synced. This patch has following changes to fix the bug: Move most tree log related fields in btrfs_fs_info to btrfs_root. This allows merging sync requests separately for each tree log. Don't insert root item into the log root tree immediately after log tree is allocated. Root item for log tree is inserted when log tree get synced for the first time. This allows syncing the log root tree without first syncing all log trees. At tree-log sync, btrfs_sync_log first sync the log tree; then updates corresponding root item in the log root tree; sync the log root tree; then update the super block.

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>

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. Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <jbacik@redhat.com>

2008-11-20Btrfs: Drop dirty roots created by log replay immediately whenYan Zheng
The log replay produces dirty roots. These dirty roots should be dropped immediately if the fs is mounted as ro. Otherwise they can be added to the dirty root list again when remounting the fs as rw. Thank you, Signed-off-by: Yan Zheng <zheng.yan@oracle.com>

2008-11-19Btrfs: Do fsync log replay when mount -o ro, except when on readonly mediaChris Mason
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 handling in open_ctree. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
