A user reported that booting his box up with btrfs root on 3.4 was way
slower than on 3.3 because I removed the ideal caching code. It turns out
that we don't load the free space cache if we're in a commit for deadlock
reasons, but since we're reading the cache and it hasn't changed yet we are
safe reading the inode and free space item from the commit root, so do that
and remove all of the deadlock checks so we don't unnecessarily skip loading
the free space cache. The user reported this fixed the slowness. Thanks,

Pull btrfs fixes and features from Chris Mason:
"We've merged in the error handling patches from SuSE. These are
already shipping in the sles kernel, and they give btrfs the ability
to abort transactions and go readonly on errors. It involves a lot of
churn as they clarify BUG_ONs, and remove the ones we now properly
deal with.
Josef reworked the way our metadata interacts with the page cache.
page->private now points to the btrfs extent_buffer object, which
makes everything faster. He changed it so we write an whole extent
buffer at a time instead of allowing individual pages to go down,,
which will be important for the raid5/6 code (for the 3.5 merge
window ;)
Josef also made us more aggressive about dropping pages for metadata
blocks that were freed due to COW. Overall, our metadata caching is
much faster now.
We've integrated my patch for metadata bigger than the page size.
This allows metadata blocks up to 64KB in size. In practice 16K and
32K seem to work best. For workloads with lots of metadata, this cuts
down the size of the extent allocation tree dramatically and fragments
much less.
Scrub was updated to support the larger block sizes, which ended up
being a fairly large change (thanks Stefan Behrens).
We also have an assortment of fixes and updates, especially to the
balancing code (Ilya Dryomov), the back ref walker (Jan Schmidt) and
the defragging code (Liu Bo)."

There are various bugs in block group trimming:
- It may trim from offset smaller than user-specified offset.
- It may trim beyond user-specified range.
- It may leak free space for extents smaller than specified minlen.
- It may truncate the last trimmed extent thus leak free space.
- With mixed extents+bitmaps, some extents may not be trimmed.
- With mixed extents+bitmaps, some bitmaps may not be trimmed (even
none will be trimmed). Even for those trimmed, not all the free space
in the bitmaps will be trimmed.
I rewrite btrfs_trim_block_group() and break it into two functions.
One is to trim extents only, and the other is to trim bitmaps only.
Before patching:
# fstrim -v /mnt/
/mnt/: 1496465408 bytes were trimmed
After patching:
# fstrim -v /mnt/
/mnt/: 2193768448 bytes were trimmed

# btrfs fi df /mnt

We're failing to create clusters with bitmaps because
setup_cluster_no_bitmap checks that the list is empty before inserting
the bitmap entry in the list for setup_cluster_bitmap, but the list
field is only initialized when it is restored from the on-disk free
space cache, or when it is written out to disk.
Besides a potential race condition due to the multiple use of the list
field, filesystem performance severely degrades over time: as we use
up all non-bitmap free extents, the try-to-set-up-cluster dance is
done at every metadata block allocation. For every block group, we
fail to set up a cluster, and after failing on them all up to twice,
we fall back to the much slower unclustered allocation.
To make matters worse, before the unclustered allocation, we try to
create new block groups until we reach the 1% threshold, which
introduces additional bitmaps and thus block groups that we'll iterate
over at each metadata block request.
The log replay code only partially loads block groups, since
the block group caching code is able to detect and deal with
extents the logging code has pinned down.
While the logging code is pinning down block groups, there is
a bogus WARN_ON we're hitting if the code wasn't able to find
an extent in the cache. This commit removes the warning because
it can happen any time there isn't a valid free space cache
for that block group.

setup_cluster_no_bitmap() searches all the extents and bitmaps starting

Suppose there are two bitmaps [0, 256], [256, 512] and one extent
[100, 120] in the free space cache, and we want to setup a cluster
with offset=100, bytes=50.
In this case, there will be only one bitmap [256, 512] in the temporary
bitmaps list, and then setup_cluster_bitmap() won't search bitmap [0, 256].
The cause is, the list is constructed in setup_cluster_no_bitmap(),
and only bitmaps with bitmap_entry->offset >= offset will be added
into the list, and the very bitmap that convers offset has
bitmap_entry->offset <= offset.

I noticed we had a little bit of latency when writing out the space cache
inodes. It's because we flush it before we write anything in case we have dirty

Currently btrfs_block_rsv_check does 2 things, it will either refill a block
reserve like in the truncate or refill case, or it will check to see if there is
enough space in the global reserve and possibly refill it. However because of
overcommit we could be well overcommitting ourselves just to try and refill the
global reserve, when really we should just be committing the transaction. So
breack this out into btrfs_block_rsv_refill and btrfs_block_rsv_check. Refill
will try to reserve more metadata if it can and btrfs_block_rsv_check will not,
it will only tell you if the factor of the total space is still reserved.

Yeah yeah I know this is how we used to do it and then I changed it, but damnit
I'm changing it back. The fact is that writing out checksums will modify
metadata, which could cause us to dirty a block group we've already written out,
so we have to truncate it and all of it's checksums and re-write it which will
write new checksums which could dirty a blockg roup that has already been
written and you see where I'm going with this? This can cause unmount or really
anything that depends on a transaction to commit to take it's sweet damned time
to happen. So go back to the way it was, only this time we're specifically
setting NODATACOW because we can't go through the COW pathway anyway and we're
doing our own built-in cow'ing by truncating the free space cache. The other
new thing is once we truncate the old cache and preallocate the new space, we
don't need to do that song and dance at all for the rest of the transaction, we
can just overwrite the existing space with the new cache if the block group
changes for whatever reason, and the NODATACOW will let us do this fine. So
keep track of which transaction we last cleared our cache in and if we cleared
it in this transaction just say we're all setup and carry on. This survives
xfstests and stress.sh.
The inode cache will continue to use the normal csum infrastructure since it
only gets written once and there will be no more modifications to the fs tree in
a transaction commit.

In writing and reading the space cache we have one big loop that keeps track of
which page we are on and then a bunch of sizeable loops underneath this big loop
to try and read/write out properly. Especially in the write case this makes
things hugely complicated and hard to follow, and makes our error checking and
recovery equally as complex. So add a io_ctl struct with a bunch of helpers to
keep track of the pages we have, where we are, if we have enough space etc.
This unifies how we deal with the pages we're writing and keeps all the messy
tracking internal. This allows us to kill the big loops in both the read and
write case and makes reviewing and chaning the write and read paths much
simpler. I've run xfstests and stress.sh on this code and it survives. Thanks,

Josef recently changed the free extent cache to look in
the block group cluster for any bitmaps before trying to
add a new bitmap for the same offset. This avoids BUG_ON()s due
covering duplicate ranges.
But it didn't go quite far enough. A given free range might span
between one or more bitmaps or free space entries. The code has
looping to cover this, but it doesn't check for clustered bitmaps
every time.

In cleaning up the clustering code I accidently introduced a regression by
adding bitmap entries to the cluster rb tree. The problem is if we've maxed out
the number of bitmaps we can have for the block group we can only add free space
to the bitmaps, but since the bitmap is on the cluster we can't find it and we
try to create another one. This would result in a panic because the total
bitmaps was bigger than the max bitmaps that were allowed. This patch fixes
this by checking to see if we have a cluster, and then looking at the cluster rb
tree to see if it has a bitmap entry and if it does and that space belongs to
that bitmap, go ahead and add it to that bitmap.
I could hit this panic every time with an fs_mark test within a couple of
minutes. With this patch I no longer hit the panic and fs_mark goes to
completion. Thanks,

If we are looking for a cluster in a particularly sparse or fragmented block
group, we will do a lot of looping through the free space tree looking for
various things, and if we need to look at bitmaps we will endup doing the whole
dance twice. So instead add the bitmap entries to a temporary list so if we
have to do the bitmap search we can just look through the list of entries we've
found quickly instead of having to loop through the entire tree again. Thanks,

This is similar to block group caching.
We dedicate a special inode in fs tree to save free ino cache.
At the very first time we create/delete a file after mount, the free ino
cache will be loaded from disk into memory. When the fs tree is commited,
the cache will be written back to disk.
To keep compatibility, we check the root generation against the generation
of the special inode when loading the cache, so the loading will fail
if the btrfs filesystem was mounted in an older kernel before.

Extract out block group specific code from lookup_free_space_inode(),

Currently btrfs stores the highest objectid of the fs tree, and it always
returns (highest+1) inode number when we create a file, so inode numbers
won't be reclaimed when we delete files, so we'll run out of inode numbers
as we keep create/delete files in 32bits machines.
This fixes it, and it works similarly to how we cache free space in block
cgroups.
We start a kernel thread to read the file tree. By scanning inode items,
we know which chunks of inode numbers are free, and we cache them in
an rb-tree.
Because we are searching the commit root, we have to carefully handle the
cross-transaction case.
The rb-tree is a hybrid extent+bitmap tree, so if we have too many small
chunks of inode numbers, we'll use bitmaps. Initially we allow 16K ram
of extents, and a bitmap will be used if we exceed this threshold. The
extents threshold is adjusted in runtime.

struct btrfs_block_group_cache to this new struct.
- struct btrfs_free_space_op
We do block group specific work (e.g. calculation of extents threshold)
through functions registered in this struct.
And then we can remove references to struct btrfs_block_group_cache.

I noticed a huge problem with the free space cache that was presenting
as an early ENOSPC. Turns out when writing the free space cache out I
forgot to take into account pinned extents and more importantly
clusters. This would result in us leaking free space everytime we
unmounted the filesystem and remounted it.
I fix this by making sure to check and see if the current block group
has a cluster and writing out any entries that are in the cluster to the
cache, as well as writing any pinned extents we currently have to the
cache since those will be available for us to use the next time the fs
mounts.

This patch makes the free space cluster refilling code a little easier to
understand, and fixes some things with the bitmap part of it. Currently we
either want to refill a cluster with
1) All normal extent entries (those without bitmaps)
2) A bitmap entry with enough space
The current code has this ugly jump around logic that will first try and fill up
the cluster with extent entries and then if it can't do that it will try and
find a bitmap to use. So instead split this out into two functions, one that
tries to find only normal entries, and one that tries to find bitmaps.
This also fixes a suboptimal thing we would do with bitmaps. If we used a
bitmap we would just tell the cluster that we were pointing at a bitmap and it
would do the tree search in the block group for that entry every time we tried
to make an allocation. Instead of doing that now we just add it to the clusters
group.
I tested this with my ENOSPC tests and xfstests and it survived.

We have been creating bitmaps for small extents unconditionally forever. This
was great when testing to make sure the bitmap stuff was working, but is
overkill normally. So instead of always adding small chunks of free space to

will keeps us from creating a bitmap for just one small free extent at the front
of the block group, and will make the allocator a little faster as a result.

We do all this fun stuff with min_bytes, but either don't use it in the case of

this for both cases
1) In the extent case, stop looking for space with window_free >= min_bytes
instead of bytes + empty_size.
2) In the bitmap case, we were looking for streches of free space that was at
least min_bytes in size, which was not right at all. So instead search for
stretches of free space that are at least bytes in size (this will make a
difference when we have > page size blocks) and then only search for min_bytes

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

freed, but then go to add free space again as we delete things and immediately

Yan Zheng hit a problem where we tried to remove some free space but failed
because we couldn't find the free space entry. This is because the free space
was held within a bitmap that had a starting offset well before the actual
offset of the free space, and there were free space extents that were in the
same range as that offset, so tree_search_offset returned with NULL because we
couldn't find a free space extent that had that offset. This is fixed by
making sure that if we fail to find the entry, we re-search again with
bitmap_only set to 1 and do an offset_to_bitmap so we can get the appropriate
bitmap. A similar problem happens in btrfs_alloc_from_bitmap for the
clustering code, but that is not as bad since we will just go and redo our
cluster allocation.
Also this adds some debugging checks to make sure that the free space we are
trying to remove from the bitmap is in fact there. This can probably go away
after a while, but since this code is only used by the tree-logging stuff it
would be nice to run with it for a while to make sure there are no problems.

This patch moves the caching of the block group off to a kthread in order to
allow people to allocate sooner. Instead of blocking up behind the caching
mutex, we instead kick of the caching kthread, and then attempt to make an
allocation. If we cannot, we wait on the block groups caching waitqueue, which
the caching kthread will wake the waiting threads up everytime it finds 2 meg
worth of space, and then again when its finished caching. This is how I tested
the speedup from this
mkfs the disk
mount the disk
fill the disk up with fs_mark
unmount the disk
mount the disk
time touch /mnt/foo
Without my changes this took 11 seconds on my box, with these changes it now
takes 1 second.
Another change thats been put in place is we lock the super mirror's in the
pinned extent map in order to keep us from adding that stuff as free space when
caching the block group. This doesn't really change anything else as far as the
pinned extent map is concerned, since for actual pinned extents we use
EXTENT_DIRTY, but it does mean that when we unmount we have to go in and unlock
those extents to keep from leaking memory.
I've also added a check where when we are reading block groups from disk, if the
amount of space used == the size of the block group, we go ahead and mark the
block group as cached. This drastically reduces the amount of time it takes to
cache the block groups. Using the same test as above, except doing a dd to a
file and then unmounting, it used to take 33 seconds to umount, now it takes 3
seconds.
This version uses the commit_root in the caching kthread, and then keeps track
of how many async caching threads are running at any given time so if one of the
async threads is still running as we cross transactions we can wait until its
finished before handling the pinned extents. Thank you,

Currently btrfs has a problem where it can use a ridiculous amount of RAM simply
tracking free space. As free space gets fragmented, we end up with thousands of
entries on an rb-tree per block group, which usually spans 1 gig of area. Since
we currently don't ever flush free space cache back to disk this gets to be a
bit unweildly on large fs's with lots of fragmentation.
This patch solves this problem by using PAGE_SIZE bitmaps for parts of the free
space cache. Initially we calculate a threshold of extent entries we can
handle, which is however many extent entries we can cram into 16k of ram. The
maximum amount of RAM that should ever be used to track 1 gigabyte of diskspace
will be 32k of RAM, which scales much better than we did before.
Once we pass the extent threshold, we start adding bitmaps and using those
instead for tracking the free space. This patch also makes it so that any free
space thats less than 4 * sectorsize we go ahead and put into a bitmap. This is
nice since we try and allocate out of the front of a block group, so if the
front of a block group is heavily fragmented and then has a huge chunk of free
space at the end, we go ahead and add the fragmented areas to bitmaps and use a
normal extent entry to track the big chunk at the back of the block group.
I've also taken the opportunity to revamp how we search for free space.
Previously we indexed free space via an offset indexed rb tree and a bytes
indexed rb tree. I've dropped the bytes indexed rb tree and use only the offset
indexed rb tree. This cuts the number of tree operations we were doing
previously down by half, and gives us a little bit of a better allocation
pattern since we will always start from a specific offset and search forward
from there, instead of searching for the size we need and try and get it as
close as possible to the offset we want.
I've given this a healthy amount of testing pre-new format stuff, as well as
post-new format stuff. I've booted up my fedora box which is installed on btrfs
with this patch and ran with it for a few days without issues. I've not seen
any performance regressions in any of my tests.
Since the last patch Yan Zheng fixed a problem where we could have overlapping
entries, so updating their offset inline would cause problems. Thanks,

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.

This patch removes the block group alloc mutex used to protect the free space
tree for allocations and replaces it with a spin lock which is used only to
protect the free space rb tree. This means we only take the lock when we are
directly manipulating the tree, which makes us a touch faster with
multi-threaded workloads.
This patch also gets rid of btrfs_find_free_space and replaces it with
btrfs_find_space_for_alloc, which takes the number of bytes you want to
allocate, and empty_size, which is used to indicate how much free space should
be at the end of the allocation.
It will return an offset for the allocator to use. If we don't end up using it
we _must_ call btrfs_add_free_space to put it back. This is the tradeoff to
kill the alloc_mutex, since we need to make sure nobody else comes along and
takes our space.

This patch cleans up the free space cache code a bit. It better documents the
idiosyncrasies of tree_search_offset and makes the code make a bit more sense.
I took out the info allocation at the start of __btrfs_add_free_space and put it
where it makes more sense. This was left over cruft from when alloc_mutex
existed. Also all of the re-searches we do to make sure we inserted properly.

This patch implements superblock duplication. Superblocks
are stored at offset 16K, 64M and 256G on every devices.
Spaces used by superblocks are preserved by the allocator,
which uses a reverse mapping function to find the logical
addresses that correspond to superblocks. Thank you,

This patch removes the giant fs_info->alloc_mutex and replaces it with a bunch
of little locks.
There is now a pinned_mutex, which is used when messing with the pinned_extents
extent io tree, and the extent_ins_mutex which is used with the pending_del and
extent_ins extent io trees.
The locking for the extent tree stuff was inspired by a patch that Yan Zheng
wrote to fix a race condition, I cleaned it up some and changed the locking
around a little bit, but the idea remains the same. Basically instead of
holding the extent_ins_mutex throughout the processing of an extent on the
extent_ins or pending_del trees, we just hold it while we're searching and when
we clear the bits on those trees, and lock the extent for the duration of the
operations on the extent.
Also to keep from getting hung up waiting to lock an extent, I've added a
try_lock_extent so if we cannot lock the extent, move on to the next one in the
tree and we'll come back to that one. I have tested this heavily and it does
not appear to break anything. This has to be applied on top of my
find_free_extent redo patch.
I tested this patch on top of Yan's space reblancing code and it worked fine.
The only thing that has changed since the last version is I pulled out all my
debugging stuff, apparently I forgot to run guilt refresh before I sent the
last patch out. Thank you,

Sometimes we end up freeing a reserved extent because we don't need it, however
this means that its possible for transaction->last_alloc to point to the middle
of a free area.
When we search for free space in find_free_space we do a tree_search_offset
with contains set to 0, because we want it to find the next best free area if
we do not have an offset starting on the given offset.
Unfortunately that currently means that if the offset we were given as a hint
points to the middle of a free area, we won't find anything. This is especially
bad if we happened to last allocate from the big huge chunk of a newly formed
block group, since we won't find anything and have to go back and search the
long way around.
This fixes this problem by making it so that we return the free space area
regardless of the contains variable. This made cache missing happen _alot_
less, and speeds things up considerably.

After a crash, the tree log code uses btrfs_alloc_logged_extent to
record allocations of data extents that it finds in the log tree. These
come in basically random order, which does not fit how
btrfs_remove_free_space() expects to be called.
btrfs_remove_free_space was changed to support recording an extent
allocation in the middle of a region of free space.

1) replace the per fs_info extent_io_tree that tracked free space with two
rb-trees per block group to track free space areas via offset and size. The
reason to do this is because most allocations come with a hint byte where to
start, so we can usually find a chunk of free space at that hint byte to satisfy
the allocation and get good space packing. If we cannot find free space at or
after the given offset we fall back on looking for a chunk of the given size as
close to that given offset as possible. When we fall back on the size search we
also try to find a slot as close to the size we want as possible, to avoid
breaking small chunks off of huge areas if possible.
2) remove the extent_io_tree that tracked the block group cache from fs_info and
replaced it with an rb-tree thats tracks block group cache via offset. also
added a per space_info list that tracks the block group cache for the particular
space so we can lookup related block groups easily.
3) cleaned up the allocation code to make it a little easier to read and a
little less complicated. Basically there are 3 steps, first look from our
provided hint. If we couldn't find from that given hint, start back at our
original search start and look for space from there. If that fails try to
allocate space if we can and start looking again. If not we're screwed and need
to start over again.
4) small fixes. there were some issues in volumes.c where we wouldn't allocate
the rest of the disk. fixed cow_file_range to actually pass the alloc_hint,
which has helped a good bit in making the fs_mark test I run have semi-normal
results as we run out of space. Generally with data allocations we don't track
where we last allocated from, so everytime we did a data allocation we'd search
through every block group that we have looking for free space. Now searching a
block group with no free space isn't terribly time consuming, it was causing a
slight degradation as we got more data block groups. The alloc_hint has fixed
this slight degredation and made things semi-normal.
There is still one nagging problem I'm working on where we will get ENOSPC when
there is definitely plenty of space. This only happens with metadata
allocations, and only when we are almost full. So you generally hit the 85%
mark first, but sometimes you'll hit the BUG before you hit the 85% wall. I'm
still tracking it down, but until then this seems to be pretty stable and make a
significant performance gain.
