This work is in preperation for being able to set a different root as the
default mounting root.
There is currently a problem with how we mount subvolumes. We cannot currently
mount a subvolume of a subvolume, you can only mount subvolumes/snapshots of the
default subvolume. So say you take a snapshot of the default subvolume and call
it snap1, and then take a snapshot of snap1 and call it snap2, so now you have
/
/snap1
/snap1/snap2
as your available volumes. Currently you can only mount / and /snap1,
you cannot mount /snap1/snap2. To fix this problem instead of passing
subvolid=<name> you must pass in subvolid=<treeid>, where <treeid> is
the tree id that gets spit out via the subvolume listing you get from
the subvolume listing patches (btrfs filesystem list). This allows us
to mount /, /snap1 and /snap1/snap2 as the root volume.
In addition to the above, we also now read the default dir item in the
tree root to get the root key that it points to. For now this just
points at what has always been the default subvolme, but later on I plan
to change it to point at whatever root you want to be the new default
root, so you can just set the default mount and not have to mount with
-o subvolid=<treeid>. I tested this out with the above scenario and it
worked perfectly. Thanks,
mount -o subvol operates inside the selected subvolid. For example:
mount -o subvol=snap1,subvolid=256 /dev/xxx /mnt
/mnt will have the snap1 directory for the subvolume with id
256.
mount -o subvol=snap /dev/xxx /mnt
/mnt will be the snap directory of whatever the default subvolume
is.

This patch adds snapshot/subvolume destroy ioctl. A subvolume that isn't being
used and doesn't contains links to other subvolumes can be destroyed.

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.

There were many, most are fixed now. struct-funcs.c generates some warnings
but these are bogus.

Btrfs had compatibility code for kernels back to 2.6.18. These have
been removed, and will be maintained in a separate backport
git tree from now on.

d_obtain_alias is intended as a tailcall that can pass in errors encoded
in the inode pointer if needed, so use it that way instead of
duplicating the error handling.

btrfs_lookup_fs_root() only finds subvol roots which have already been
seen and put into the cache. For btrfs_get_dentry() we actually have to
go to the medium -- so use btrfs_read_fs_root_no_name() instead.
In btrfs_get_parent(), notice when we've hit the root of the
subvolume and return the real root instead.

Here's an implementation of NFS support for btrfs. It relies on the
fixes which are going in to 2.6.28 for the NFS readdir/lookup deadlock.
This uses the btrfs_iget helper introduced previously.
[dwmw2: Tidy up a little, switch to d_obtain_alias() w/compat routine,
change fh_type, store parent's root object ID where needed,
fix some get_parent() and fs_to_dentry() bugs]
