2008-09-25Btrfs: implement memory reclaim for leaf reference cacheYan
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.

2008-09-25Btrfs: Leaf reference cache updateChris Mason
This changes the reference cache to make a single cache per root instead of one cache per transaction, and to key by the byte number of the disk block instead of the keys inside. This makes it much less likely to have cache misses if a snapshot or something has an extra reference on a higher node or a leaf while the first transaction that added the leaf into the cache is dropping. Some throttling is added to functions that free blocks heavily so they wait for old transactions to drop. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2008-09-25Btrfs: Add a leaf reference cacheYan Zheng
Much of the IO done while dropping snapshots is done looking up leaves in the filesystem trees to see if they point to any extents and to drop the references on any extents found. This creates a cache so that IO isn't required. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
