The alloc warnings everybody has been seeing is because we have been reserving
space for csums, but we weren't actually using that space. So make
get_block_rsv() return the trans->block_rsv if we're modifying the csum root.
Also set the trans->block_rsv to NULL so that if we modify the csum root when
running delayed ref's that comes out of the global reserve like it's supposed
to. With this patch I'm not seeing those alloc warnings anymore. Thanks,

Since free space inodes now use normal checksumming we need to make sure to
account for their metadata use. So reserve metadata space, and then if we fail
to write out the metadata we can just release it, otherwise it will be freed up
when the io completes. Thanks,

In moving some enospc stuff around I noticed that when we unmount we are often
evicting the free space cache inodes before we do our last commit. This isn't
bad, but it makes us constantly have to re-read the inodes back. So instead
don't evict the cache until after we do our last commit, this will make things a
little less crappy and makes a future enospc change work properly. Thanks,

While debugging a different issue I noticed that we were always reserving space
when we tried to use our truncate block rsv's. This is because they didn't have
a ->size value, so use_block_rsv just assumes there is nothing reserved and it
does a reserve_metadata_bytes. This is because btrfs_check_block_rsv() doesn't
actually add to the size of the block rsv. That seems to be the right thing to
do so set ->size to the minimum truncate size we need, since we will always only
refill to that size anyway, and this way everything works out correctly.

If we have to emergency reserve space we need to not increase the block_rsv
size, otherwise we'll leak space. Take for instance delalloc, say we reserve
4k, and we use that 4k, and then we have to emergency allocate another 4k, we
bump the size up to 8k, however we've only accounted for 4k in reservations in
all of our supporting logic, so we'll go to free the 4k and end up having a size
of 4k, which will cause us to later not free as much space. I saw this doing
testing where I wasn't reserving enough space for something but was still
leaking space, very frustrating. Thanks,

When changing back to using a spin_lock to protect the extent counters I decided
that since we would only be dropping our original extent, it was ok to just drop
the extent and return. However since somebody else could have come in and done
a reservation, we need to do the normal song and dance to clear the reservation
out properly. So calculate how much space we need to free, and then subtract
what we just attempted to reserve. If it's more then we know we need to drop
those bytes from the delalloc block rsv. Thanks,

We are setting ins_len to 1 even tho we are just modifying an item that should
be there already. This may cause the search stuff to split nodes on the way
down needelessly. Set this to 0 since we aren't inserting anything. Thanks,

If you run xfstest 224 it you will get lots of messages about not being able to
delete inodes and that they will be cleaned up next mount. This is because
btrfs_block_rsv_check was not calling reserve_metadata_bytes with the ability to
flush, so if there was not enough space, it simply failed. But in truncate and
evict case we could easily flush space to try and get enough space to do our
work, so make btrfs_block_rsv_check take a flush argument to pass down to
reserve_metadata_bytes. Now xfstests 224 runs fine without all those
complaints. Thanks,

With btrfs_truncate_inode_items we always return if we have to go to another
leaf, which makes us do our reservation again. This means we will only ever
modify one leaf at a time, so we only need 1 items worth of slack space. Also,
since we are deleting we will not be creating nodes as we go down, if anything
we'll be free'ing them as we merge them together, so make a different
calculation for truncate which will only have the worst case useage of COW'ing
the entire path down to the leaf. Thanks,

Lukas found a problem where if he tries to fallocate over the same region twice
and the first fallocate took up all the space we would fail with ENOSPC. This
is because we reserve the total space we want to use for fallocate, regardless
of wether or not we will have to actually preallocate. So instead move the
check into the loop where we actually have to do the preallocate. Thanks,

Currently we're starting and stopping a transaction for no real reason, so kill
that and just reserve enough space as if we can truncate all in one transaction.
Also use btrfs_block_rsv_check() for our reserve to minimize the amount of space

A user reported getting spammed when moving to 3.0 by this message. Since we

I converted btrfs_truncate to do sane reservations for truncate, but didn't

This patch kills off the calculation for the amount of space needed for the
orphan operations during a snapshot. The thing is we only do snapshots on
commit, so any space that is in the block_rsv->freed[] isn't going to be in the
new snapshot anyway, so there isn't any reason to require that space to be
reserved for the snapshot to occur. Thanks,

We have not been reserving enough space for checksums. We were just reserving
bytes for the checksum items themselves, we were not taking into account having
to cow the tree and such. This patch adds a csum_bytes counter to the inode for
keeping track of the number of bytes outstanding we have for checksums. Then we
calculate how many leaves would be required for the checksums we are given and
use that to reserve space. This adds a significant amount of bytes to our
reservations, but we will handle this later. Thanks,

We always look for delalloc bytes in our io_tree so we can fill in delalloc.
This is fine in most cases, but if we're writing out the btree_inode this is
just a superfluous tree search on the io_tree, and if we have a lot of metadata
dirty this could be an expensive check. So instead check to see if our io_tree
has a ->fill_delalloc op, and if not don't even bother doing the lookup.
Thanks,

We have been using bytes_reserved for metadata reservations, which is wrong
since we use that to keep track of outstanding reservations from the allocator.
This resulted in us doing a lot of silly things to make sure we don't allocate a
bunch of metadata chunks since we never had a real view of how much space was
actually in use by metadata.
This passes Arne's enospc test and xfstests as well as my own enospc tests.
Hopefully this will get us moving in the right direction. Thanks,

We've only been able to mount with subvol=<whatever> where whatever was a subvol

Currently what we do is just wrong. We either
1) Alloc a new "root" dentry with sb->s_root as it's parent which is just wrong
as we could walk into this subvol later on via another path and hilarity could
ensue. Also we don't check the return value of d_splice_alias which isn't good
either.
or
2) Do a d_find_alias() which we could have lost our dentry from cache at this
point and found nothing.
So use d_obtain_alias(). In the case that we already have the inode/dentry in
cache we will get the correct dentry. If not we will get a disconnected dentry
tree so if we walk into it later on everything will be connected up properly.

..to allow forcing of either compression scheme. This will override
compiled-in defaults. jffs2_compress is reworked a bit, as the lzo/zlib

Currently jffs2 has compile-time constants (and .config options)
controlling whether or not the various compression/decompression
drivers are built in and enabled. This is fine for embedded
systems, but it clashes with distribution kernels. Distro kernels
tend to turn on everything; this causes OpenFirmware to fall
over, as it understands ZLIB-compressed inodes. Booting a kernel
that has LZO compression enabled, writing to the boot partition,
and then rebooting causes OFW to fail to read the kernel from
the filesystem. This is because LZO compression has priority
when writing new data to jffs2, if LZO is enabled.
This patch adds mount option parsing, and a single supported
option ("compr=none"). This adds the flexibility of being
able to specify which compressor overrides on a per-superblock
basis. For now, we can simply disable compression;
additional flexibility coming soon.
v2: kill some printks, and implement show_options as suggested
by Artem Bityutskiy.

This is because bdev holds on to disk but disk doesn't pin the
associated queue. If a SCSI device is removed while the device is
still open, the sdev puts the base reference to the queue on release.
When the bdev is finally released, the associated queue is already
gone along with the bdi and bdev_inode_switch_bdi() ends up
dereferencing already freed bdi.
Even if it were not for this bug, disk not holding onto the associated
queue is very unusual and error-prone.
Fix it by making add_disk() take an extra reference to its queue and
put it on disk_release() and ensuring that disk and its fops owner are
put in that order after all accesses to the disk and queue are
complete.

concerned, it just has to know that the file doesn't exist, and so
ENOENT would be the appropriate reply. We should only return EINVAL

commit ae50c0b5 "pnfs: client stats" added additional information to
the output of /proc/self/mountstats. The new functions introduced are
only used in this file and should be marked static.
If CONFIG_NFS_V4_1 is not defined, empty stub functions are used. If
CONFIG_NFS_V4 is not defined these stub functions are not used at all.
Adding static for the functions results in compile warnings:
fs/nfs/super.c:743: warning: 'show_sessions' defined but not used
fs/nfs/super.c:756: warning: 'show_pnfs' defined but not used
Fix this by adding a #ifdef CONFIG_NFS_V4 guard around the two

nfs_find_and_lock_request will take a reference to the nfs_page and
will then put it if the req is already locked. It's possible though
that the reference will be the last one. That put then can kick off
a whole series of reference puts:
nfs_page
nfs_open_context
dentry
inode
If the inode ends up being deleted, then the VFS will call
truncate_inode_pages. That function will try to take the page lock, but
it was already locked when migrate_page was called. The code
deadlocks.
Fix this by simply refusing the migration request if PagePrivate is
already set, indicating that the page is already associated with an
active read or write request.
We've had a customer test a backported version of this patch and
the preliminary results seem good.

The result from ipv6_addr_scope() always not be a single SCOPE,
so we can't use equal to compare the result with IPV6_ADDR_SCOPE_LINKLOCAL
at nfs_sockaddr_match_ipaddr6.
This patch fixs the problem, and lets checking address before scope_id.

commit 420e3646 allowed the kernel to reduce the number of unnecessary
commit calls by skipping the commit when there are a large number of
outstanding pages.
However, the current test in nfs_commit_unstable_pages does not handle
the edge condition properly. When ncommit == 0, then that means that the
kernel doesn't need to do anything more for the inode. The current test
though in the WB_SYNC_NONE case will return true, and the inode will end
up being marked dirty. Once that happens the inode will never be clean
until there's a WB_SYNC_ALL flush.
Fix this by immediately returning from nfs_commit_unstable_pages when
ncommit == 0.
Mike noticed this problem initially in RHEL5 (2.6.18-based kernel) which
has a backported version of 420e3646. The inode cache there was growing
very large. The inode cache was unable to be shrunk since the inodes
were all marked dirty. Calling sync() would essentially "fix" the
problem -- the WB_SYNC_ALL flush would result in the inodes all being
marked clean.
What I'm not clear on is how big a problem this is in mainline kernels
as the writeback code there is very different. Either way, it seems
incorrect to re-mark the inode dirty in this case.

This reverts commit b80c3cb628f0ebc241b02e38dd028969fb8026a2.
The reverted commit was rendered obsolete by a VFS fix: commit
5547e8aac6f71505d621a612de2fca0dd988b439 (writeback: Update dirty flags in
two steps). We now no longer need to worry about writeback_single_inode()
missing our marking the inode for COMMIT in 'do_writepages()' call.
Reverting this patch, fixes a performance regression in which the inode
would continuously get queued to the dirty list, causing the writeback
code to unnecessarily try to send a COMMIT.
