The delayed inode code batches up changes to the btree in hopes of doing
them in bulk. As the changes build up, processes kick off worker
threads and wait for them to make progress.
The current code kicks off an async work queue item for each delayed
node, which creates a lot of churn. It also uses a fixed 1 HZ waiting
period for the throttle, which allows us to build a lot of pending
work and can slow down the commit.
This changes us to watch a sequence counter as it is bumped during the
operations. We kick off fewer work items and have each work item do
more work.

We're running into having 50-100 orphans left over with xfstests 83
because of ENOSPC when trying to start the transaction for the inode update.
But in fact, it makes no sense in updating the inode for the new size while
we're deleting the stupid thing. This patch fixes this problem.

Those crazy gentoo guys have been complaining about ENOSPC errors on their
portage volumes. This is because doing things like untar tends to create
lots of new files which will soak up all the reservation space in the
delayed inodes. Usually this gets papered over by the fact that we will try
and commit the transaction, however if this happens in the wrong spot or we
choose not to commit the transaction you will be screwed. So add the
ability to expclitly flush delayed inodes to free up space. Please test
this out guys to make sure it works since as usual I cannot reproduce.

When iputting the inode, We may leave the delayed nodes if they have some
delayed items that have not been dealt with. So when the inode is read again,
we must look up the relative delayed node, and use the information in it to
initialize the inode. Or we will get inconsonant inode information, it may
cause that the same directory index number is allocated again, and hit the
following oops:
[ 5447.554187] err add delayed dir index item(name: pglog_0.965_0) into the

Snapshot creation has two phases. One is the initial snapshot setup,
and the second is done during commit, while nobody is allowed to modify
the root we are snapshotting.
The delayed metadata insertion code can break that rule, it does a
delayed inode update on the inode of the parent of the snapshot,
and delayed directory item insertion.
This makes sure to run the pending delayed operations before we
record the snapshot root, which avoids corruptions.

- Modify the patch address David Sterba's comment.
- Fix the bug of the cpu recursion spinlock, reported by Chris Mason
Changelog V1 -> V2:
- break up the global rb-tree, use a list to manage the delayed nodes,
which is created for every directory and file, and used to manage the
delayed directory name index items and the delayed inode item.
- introduce a worker to deal with the delayed nodes.
Compare with Ext3/4, the performance of file creation and deletion on btrfs
is very poor. the reason is that btrfs must do a lot of b+ tree insertions,
such as inode item, directory name item, directory name index and so on.
If we can do some delayed b+ tree insertion or deletion, we can improve the
performance, so we made this patch which implemented delayed directory name
index insertion/deletion and delayed inode update.
Implementation:
- introduce a delayed root object into the filesystem, that use two lists to
manage the delayed nodes which are created for every file/directory.
One is used to manage all the delayed nodes that have delayed items. And the
other is used to manage the delayed nodes which is waiting to be dealt with
by the work thread.
- Every delayed node has two rb-tree, one is used to manage the directory name
index which is going to be inserted into b+ tree, and the other is used to
manage the directory name index which is going to be deleted from b+ tree.
- introduce a worker to deal with the delayed operation. This worker is used
to deal with the works of the delayed directory name index items insertion
and deletion and the delayed inode update.
When the delayed items is beyond the lower limit, we create works for some
delayed nodes and insert them into the work queue of the worker, and then
go back.
When the delayed items is beyond the upper bound, we create works for all
the delayed nodes that haven't been dealt with, and insert them into the work
queue of the worker, and then wait for that the untreated items is below some
threshold value.
- When we want to insert a directory name index into b+ tree, we just add the
information into the delayed inserting rb-tree.
And then we check the number of the delayed items and do delayed items
balance. (The balance policy is above.)
- When we want to delete a directory name index from the b+ tree, we search it
in the inserting rb-tree at first. If we look it up, just drop it. If not,
add the key of it into the delayed deleting rb-tree.
Similar to the delayed inserting rb-tree, we also check the number of the
delayed items and do delayed items balance.
(The same to inserting manipulation)
- When we want to update the metadata of some inode, we cached the data of the
inode into the delayed node. the worker will flush it into the b+ tree after
dealing with the delayed insertion and deletion.
- We will move the delayed node to the tail of the list after we access the
delayed node, By this way, we can cache more delayed items and merge more
inode updates.
- If we want to commit transaction, we will deal with all the delayed node.
- the delayed node will be freed when we free the btrfs inode.
- Before we log the inode items, we commit all the directory name index items
and the delayed inode update.
I did a quick test by the benchmark tool[1] and found we can improve the
performance of file creation by ~15%, and file deletion by ~20%.
