Rename no_space_cache option to nospace_cache to be more consistent with
the rest, where the simple prefix 'no' is used to negate an option.
The option has been introduced during the -rc1 cycle and there are has not been
widely used, so it's safe.

Currently scrub fails with ENOMEM when bio_add_page fails. Unfortunately
dm based targets accept only one page per bio, thus making scrub always
fails. This patch just submits the current bio when an error is encountered
and starts a new one.

People have been running into a warning when loading space cache because the
page is already mapped when trying to read in a bitmap. The way we read in
entries and pages is kind of convoluted, so fix it so that io_ctl_read_entry
maps the entries if it needs to, and if it hits the end of the page it simply
unmaps the page. That way we can unconditionally unmap the io_ctl before
reading in the bitmap and we should stop hitting these warnings. Thanks,

If the root node of a fs/file tree is in the block group that is
being relocated, but the others are not in the other block groups.
when we create a snapshot for this tree between the relocation tree
creation ends and ->create_reloc_tree is set to 0, Btrfs will create
some backref nodes that are the lowest nodes of the backrefs cache.
But we forget to add them into ->leaves list of the backref cache
and deal with them, and at last, they will triggered BUG_ON().
kernel BUG at fs/btrfs/relocation.c:239!
This patch fixes it by adding them into ->leaves list of backref cache.

When we did stress test for the space relocation, the deadlock happened.
By debugging, We found it was caused by the carelessness that we forgot
to unlock the read lock of the extent buffers in btrfs_orphan_cleanup()
before we end the transaction handle, so the transaction commit task waited
the task, which called btrfs_orphan_cleanup(), to unlock the extent buffer,
but that task waited the commit task to end the transaction commit, and
the deadlock happened. Fix it.

Sometimes it causes BUG_ON() in the reservation code of the delayed inode

Josef sent along an incremental to the inode reservation
code to make sure we try and fall back to directly updating
the inode item if things go horribly wrong.
This reworks that patch slightly, adding a fallback function
that will always try to update the inode item directly without
going through the delayed_inode code.

Commits 6c41761f and 45ea6095 introduced the possibility of NULL pointer
dereference on error paths, also we would leave all devices busy and
leak fs_info with all sub-structures on error when trying to mount an
already mounted fs to a different directory.
Fix this by doing all allocations before trying to open any of the

Fix bugs introduced by 6c41761f. Firstly, after failing to allocate any
of the tree roots (first 'goto fail' in open_ctree()) we would
dereference a NULL fs_info pointer in free_fs_info(). Secondly, after
failures from init_srcu_struct(), setup_bdi() and new_inode() we would
leak all earlier allocated roots: fs_info fields haven't been
initialized yet so free_fs_info() is rendered useless.
Fix this by initializing fs_info pointer and fs_info fields before any
allocations happen.

People have been reporting ENOSPC crashes in finish_ordered_io. This is because
we try to steal from the delalloc block rsv to satisfy a reservation to update
the inode. The problem with this is we don't explicitly save space for updating
the inode when doing delalloc. This is kind of a problem and we've gotten away
with this because way back when we just stole from the delalloc reserve without
any questions, and this worked out fine because generally speaking the leaf had
been modified either by the mtime update when we did the original write or
because we just updated the leaf when we inserted the file extent item, only on
rare occasions had the leaf not actually been modified, and that was still ok
because we'd just use a block or two out of the over-reservation that is
delalloc.
Then came the delayed inode stuff. This is amazing, except it wants a full
reservation for updating the inode since it may do it at some point down the
road after we've written the blocks and we have to recow everything again. This
worked out because the delayed inode stuff just stole from the global reserve,
that is until recently when I changed that because it caused other problems.
So here we are, we're doing everything right and being screwed for it. So take
an extra reservation for the inode at delalloc reservation time and carry it
through the life of the delalloc reservation. If we need it we can steal it in
the delayed inode stuff. If we have already stolen it try and do a normal
metadata reservation. If that fails try to steal from the delalloc reservation.
If _that_ fails we'll get a WARN_ON() so I can start thinking of a better way to
solve this and in the meantime we'll steal from the global reserve.
With this patch I ran xfstests 13 in a loop for a couple of hours and didn't see
any problems.

We all keep getting those stupid warnings from use_block_rsv when running
stress.sh, and it's because the delayed insertion stuff is being stupid. It's
not the delayed insertion stuffs fault, it's all just stupid. When marking an
inode dirty for oh say updating the time on it, we just do a
btrfs_join_transaction, which doesn't reserve any space. This is stupid because
we're going to have to have space reserve to make this change, but we do it
because it's fast because chances are we're going to call it over and over again
and it doesn't matter. Well thanks to the delayed insertion stuff this is
mostly the case, so we do actually need to make this reservation. So if
trans->bytes_reserved is 0 then try to do a normal reservation. If not return
ENOSPC which will make the btrfs_dirty_inode start a proper transaction which
will let it do the whole ENOSPC dance and reserve enough space for the delayed
insertion to steal the reservation from the transaction.
The other stupid thing we do is not reserve space for the inode when writing to
the thing. Usually this is ok since we have to update the time so we'd have
already done all this work before we get to the endio stuff, so it doesn't
matter. But this is stupid because we could write the data after the
transaction commits where we changed the mtime of the inode so we have to cow
all the way down to the inode anyway. This used to be masked by the delalloc
reservation stuff, but because we delay the update it doesn't get masked in this
case. So again the delayed insertion stuff bites us in the ass. So if our
trans->block_rsv is delalloc, just steal the reservation from the delalloc
reserve. Hopefully this won't bite us in the ass, but I've said that before.
With this patch stress.sh no longer spits out those stupid warnings (famous last
words). Thanks,

Failure testing was tripping up over stale PageError bits in
metadata pages. If we have an io error on a block, and later on
end up reusing it, nobody ever clears PageError on those pages.
During commit, we'll find PageError and think we had trouble writing
the block, which will lead to aborts and other problems.
This changes clean_tree_block and the btrfs writepage code to
clear the PageError bit. In both cases we're either completely
done with the page or the page has good stuff and the error bit
is no longer valid.

Because of the overcommit stuff I had to make it so that we committed the
transaction all the time in reserve_metadata_bytes in case we had overcommitted

how much space was reserved for delayed items. Now that we have the
delayed_block_rsv we can check it to see if committing the transaction would get
us anywhere. This patch breaks out the committing logic into a helper function
that will check to see if committing the transaction would free enough space for
us to get anything done. With this patch xfstests 83 goes from taking 445

which means we could end up discarding reservations that are for the delayed

insertion stuff. This will also make it easier to debug problems with the

I fixed a problem where we weren't reserving space for an orphan item when we
had to fallback to using the global reserve for an unlink, but I introduced
another problem. I was migrating the bytes from the transaction reserve to the
global reserve and then releasing from the global reserve in
btrfs_end_transaction(). The problem with this is that a migrate will jack up
the size for the destination, but leave the size alone for the source, with the
idea that you can do a release normally on the source and it all washes out, and
then you can do a release again on the destination and it works out right. My
way was skipping the release on the trans_block_rsv which still had the jacked
up size from our original reservation. So instead release manually from the
global reserve if this transaction was using it, and then set the
trans->block_rsv back to the trans_block_rsv so that btrfs_end_transaction
cleans everything up properly. With this patch xfstest 83 doesn't emit warnings
about leaking space. Thanks,

write_cache_pages tries to build up a large bio to stuff down the pipe.
But if it needs to wait for a page lock, it needs to make sure and send

The tree log had two important bugs that could cause corruptions after a
crash. Sometimes we were allowing tree log blocks to be reused after
the tree log was committed but before the transaction commit was done.
This allowed a future metadata write to overwrite the tree log data. It
is fixed by adding a new variant of freeing reserved extents that always
pins them. Credit goes to Stefan Behrens and Arne Jansen for many many
hours spent tracking this bug down.
During tree log replay, we do a pass through the tree log and pin all
the extents we find. This makes sure the replay code won't go in and
use any of those blocks for new allocations during replay. The problem
is the free space cache isn't honoring these pinned extents. So the
allocator can end up handing them out, leading to all kinds of problems
during replay.
The fix here is to force any free space cache to load while we pin the
extents, and then to make sure we remove the pinned extents from the
free space rbtree.

The i_mutex lock use of generic _file_llseek hurts. Independent processes
accessing the same file synchronize over a single lock, even though
they have no need for synchronization at all.
Under high utilization this can cause llseek to scale very poorly on larger
systems.
This patch does some rethinking of the llseek locking model:
First the 64bit f_pos is not necessarily atomic without locks
on 32bit systems. This can already cause races with read() today.
This was discussed on linux-kernel in the past and deemed acceptable.
The patch does not change that.
Let's look at the different seek variants:
SEEK_SET: Doesn't really need any locking.
If there's a race one writer wins, the other loses.
For 32bit the non atomic update races against read()
stay the same. Without a lock they can also happen
against write() now. The read() race was deemed
acceptable in past discussions, and I think if it's
ok for read it's ok for write too.
=> Don't need a lock.
SEEK_END: This behaves like SEEK_SET plus it reads
the maximum size too. Reading the maximum size would have the
32bit atomic problem. But luckily we already have a way to read
the maximum size without locking (i_size_read), so we
can just use that instead.
Without i_mutex there is no synchronization with write() anymore,
however since the write() update is atomic on 64bit it just behaves
like another racy SEEK_SET. On non atomic 32bit it's the same
as SEEK_SET.
=> Don't need a lock, but need to use i_size_read()
SEEK_CUR: This has a read-modify-write race window
on the same file. One could argue that any application
doing unsynchronized seeks on the same file is already broken.
But for the sake of not adding a regression here I'm
using the file->f_lock to synchronize this. Using this
lock is much better than the inode mutex because it doesn't
synchronize between processes.
=> So still need a lock, but can use a f_lock.
This patch implements this new scheme in generic_file_llseek.
I dropped generic_file_llseek_unlocked and changed all callers.

The WARN_ON under some circumstances heavily polute log and slow down
the machine. This is just a safety, as the warning should be fixed by
another patch, nevertheless, it still pops up during testing.
