Some options only apply during mount time and are cleared at the end
of mount. For now, the example is USEBACKUPROOT, but CLEAR_CACHE also
fits the bill, and this is a preparation patch for also clearing that
option.
One subtlety is that the current code only resets USEBACKUPROOT on rw
mounts, but the option is meaningfully "consumed" by a ro mount, so it
feels appropriate to clear in that case as well. A subsequent read-write
remount would not go through open_ctree, which is the only place that
checks the option, so the change should be benign.

When a user attempts to remount a btrfs filesystem with
'mount -o remount,space_cache=v2', that operation silently succeeds.
Unfortunately, this is misleading, because the remount does not create
the free space tree. /proc/mounts will incorrectly show space_cache=v2,
but on the next mount, the file system will revert to the old
space_cache.
For now, we handle only the easier case, where the existing mount is
read-only and the new mount is read-write. In that case, we can create
the free space tree without contending with the block groups changing
as we go.

If we attempt to create a free space tree while any block groups have
needs_free_space set, we will double add the new free space item
and hit EEXIST. Previously, we only created the free space tree on a new
mount, so we never hit the case, but if we try to create it on a
remount, such block groups could exist and trip us up.
We don't do anything with this field unless the free space tree is
enabled, so there is no harm in not setting it.

When we mount a rw filesystem, we start the orphan cleanup process in
tree root and filesystem tree. However, when we remount a ro file system
rw, we only clean the former. Move the calls to btrfs_orphan_cleanup()
on tree_root and fs_root to the shared rw mount routine to effectively
add them on ro->rw remount.

Mounting rw and remounting from ro to rw naturally share invariants and
functionality which result in a correctly setup rw filesystem. Luckily,
there is even a strong unity in the code which implements them. In
mount's open_ctree, these operations mostly happen after an early return
for ro file systems, and in remount, they happen in a section devoted to
remounting ro->rw, after some remount specific validation passes.
However, there are unfortunately a few differences. There are small
deviations in the order of some of the operations, remount does not
start orphan cleanup in root_tree or fs_tree, remount does not create
the free space tree, and remount does not handle "one-shot" mount
options like clear_cache and uuid tree rescan.
Since we want to add building the free space tree to remount, and also
to start the same orphan cleanup process on a filesystem mounted as ro
then remounted rw, we would benefit from unifying the logic between the
two code paths.
This patch only lifts the existing common functionality, and leaves a
natural path for fixing the discrepancies.

Early on during a transaction commit we acquire the tree_log_mutex and
hold it until after we write the super blocks. But before writing the
extent buffers dirtied by the transaction and the super blocks we unblock
the transaction by setting its state to TRANS_STATE_UNBLOCKED and setting
fs_info->running_transaction to NULL.
This means that after that and before writing the super blocks, new
transactions can start. However if any transaction wants to log an inode,
it will block waiting for the transaction commit to write its dirty
extent buffers and the super blocks because the tree_log_mutex is only
released after those operations are complete, and starting a new log
transaction blocks on that mutex (at start_log_trans()).
Writing the dirty extent buffers and the super blocks can take a very
significant amount of time to complete, but we could allow the tasks
wanting to log an inode to proceed with most of their steps:
1) create the log trees
2) log metadata in the trees
3) write their dirty extent buffers
They only need to wait for the previous transaction commit to complete
(write its super blocks) before they attempt to write their super blocks,
otherwise we could end up with a corrupt filesystem after a crash.
So change start_log_trans() to use the root tree's log_mutex to serialize
for the creation of the log root tree instead of using the tree_log_mutex,
and make btrfs_sync_log() acquire the tree_log_mutex before writing the
super blocks. This allows for inode logging to wait much less time when
there is a previous transaction that is still committing, often not having
to wait at all, as by the time when we try to sync the log the previous
transaction already wrote its super blocks.

When logging an inode we may often have to fallback to a full transaction
commit, either because a new block group was allocated, there is some case
we can not deal with without a transaction commit or some error like an
ENOMEM happened. However after we fallback to a transaction commit, we
have a time window where we can make the next attempt to log any inode
commit the next transaction unnecessarily, adding additional overhead and
increasing latency.
A sequence of steps that leads to this issue is the following:
1) The current open transaction has a generation of 1000;
2) A new block group is allocated, and as a consequence we must make sure
any attempts to commit a log fallback to a transaction commit, so
btrfs_set_log_full_commit() is called from btrfs_make_block_group().
This sets fs_info->last_trans_log_full_commit to 1000;
3) Task A is holding a handle on transaction 1000 and tries to log inode X.
Once it gets to start_log_trans(), it calls btrfs_need_log_full_commit()
which returns true, since fs_info->last_trans_log_full_commit has a
value of 1000. So we end up returning EAGAIN and propagating it up to
btrfs_sync_file(), where we commit transaction 1000;
4) The transaction commit task (task A) sets the transaction state to
unblocked (TRANS_STATE_UNBLOCKED);
5) Some other task, task B, starts a new transaction with a generation of
1001;
6) Some stuff is done with transaction 1001, some btree blocks COWed, etc;
7) Transaction 1000 has not fully committed yet, we are still writing all
the extent buffers it created;
8) Some new task, task C, starts an fsync of inode Y, gets a handle for
transaction 1001, and it gets to btrfs_log_inode_parent() which does
the following check:
if (fs_info->last_trans_log_full_commit > last_committed) {
ret = 1;
goto end_no_trans;
}
At that point last_trans_log_full_commit has a value of 1000 and
last_committed (value of fs_info->last_trans_committed) has a value of
999, since transaction 1000 has not yet committed - it is either still
writing out dirty extent buffers, its super blocks or unpinning
extents.
As a consequence we return 1, which gets propagated up to
btrfs_sync_file(), which will then call btrfs_commit_transaction()
for transaction 1001.
As a consequence we have an unnecessary second transaction commit, we
previously committed transaction 1000 and now commit transaction 1001
as well, resulting in more overhead and increased latency.
So fix this double transaction commit issue simply by removing that check,
because all we need to do is wait for the previous transaction to finish
its commit, which we already do later when starting the log transaction at
start_log_trans(), because there we acquire the tree_log_mutex lock, which
is held by a transaction commit and only released after the transaction
commits its super blocks.
Another issue that check has is that it reads last_trans_log_full_commit
without using READ_ONCE(), which is incorrect since that member of
struct btrfs_fs_info is always updated with WRITE_ONCE() through the
helper btrfs_set_log_full_commit().
This double transaction commit issue can actually be triggered quite often
in long runs of dbench, since besides the creation of new block groups
that force inode logging to fallback to a transaction commit, there are
cases where dbench asks to fsync a directory which had files in it that
were previously renamed or subdirectories that were removed, resulting in
the inode logging to fallback to a full transaction commit.

When logging an inode and the previous transaction is still committing, we
have a time window where we can end up incorrectly think an inode has its
last_unlink_trans field with a value greater than the last transaction
committed, which results in the logging to fallback to a full transaction
commit, which is usually much more expensive than doing a log commit.
The race is described by the following steps:
1) We are at transaction 1000;
2) We modify an inode X (a directory) using transaction 1000 and set its
last_unlink_trans field to 1000, because for example we removed one
of its subdirectories;
3) We create a new inode Y with a dentry in inode X using transaction 1000,
so its generation field is set to 1000;
4) The commit for transaction 1000 is started by task A;
5) The task committing transaction 1000 sets the transaction state to
unblocked, writes the dirty extent buffers and the super blocks, then
unlocks tree_log_mutex;
6) Some task starts a new transaction with a generation of 1001;
7) We do some modification to inode Y (using transaction 1001);
8) The transaction 1000 commit starts unpinning extents. At this point
fs_info->last_trans_committed still has a value of 999;
9) Task B starts an fsync on inode Y, and gets a handle for transaction
1001. When it gets to check_parent_dirs_for_sync() it does the checking
of the ancestor dentries because the following check does not evaluate
to true:
if (S_ISREG(inode->vfs_inode.i_mode) &&
inode->generation <= last_committed &&
inode->last_unlink_trans <= last_committed)
goto out;
The generation value for inode Y is 1000 and last_committed, which has
the value read from fs_info->last_trans_committed, has a value of 999,
so that check evaluates to false and we proceed to check the ancestor
inodes.
Once we get to the first ancestor, inode X, we call
btrfs_must_commit_transaction() on it, which evaluates to true:
static bool btrfs_must_commit_transaction(...)
{
struct btrfs_fs_info *fs_info = inode->root->fs_info;
bool ret = false;
mutex_lock(&inode->log_mutex);
if (inode->last_unlink_trans > fs_info->last_trans_committed) {
/*
* Make sure any commits to the log are forced to be full
* commits.
*/
btrfs_set_log_full_commit(trans);
ret = true;
}
(...)
because inode's X last_unlink_trans has a value of 1000 and
fs_info->last_trans_committed still has a value of 999, it returns
true to check_parent_dirs_for_sync(), making it return 1 which is
propagated up to btrfs_sync_file(), causing it to fallback to a full
transaction commit of transaction 1001.
We should have not fallen back to commit transaction 1001, since inode
X had last_unlink_trans set to 1000 and the super blocks for
transaction 1000 were already written. So while not resulting in a
functional problem, it leads to a lot more work and higher latencies
for a fsync since committing a transaction is usually more expensive
than committing a log (if other filesystem changes happened under that
transaction).
Similar problem happens when logging directories, for the same reason as
btrfs_must_commit_transaction() returns true on an inode with its
last_unlink_trans having the generation of the previous transaction and
that transaction is still committing, unpinning its freed extents.
So fix this by comparing last_unlink_trans with the id of the current
transaction instead of fs_info->last_trans_committed.
This case is often hit when running dbench for a long enough duration, as
it does lots of rename and rmdir operations (both update the field
last_unlink_trans of an inode) and fsyncs of files and directories.

When logging an inode and we are checking if we need to log ancestors that
are new, if the previous transaction is still committing we have a time
window where we can unnecessarily log ancestor inodes that were created in
the previous transaction.
The race is described by the following steps:
1) We are at transaction 1000;
2) Directory inode X is created, its generation is set to 1000;
3) The commit for transaction 1000 is started by task A;
4) The task committing transaction 1000 sets the transaction state to
unblocked, writes the dirty extent buffers and the super blocks, then
unlocks tree_log_mutex;
5) Inode Y, a regular file, is created under directory inode X, this
results in starting a new transaction with a generation of 1001;
6) The transaction 1000 commit is unpinning extents. At this point
fs_info->last_trans_committed still has a value of 999;
7) Task B calls fsync on inode Y and gets a handle for transaction 1001;
8) Task B ends up at log_all_new_ancestors() and then because inode Y has
only one hard link, ends up at log_new_ancestors_fast(). There it reads
a value of 999 from fs_info->last_trans_committed, and sees that the
parent inode X has a generation of 1000, so we end up logging inode X:
if (inode->generation > fs_info->last_trans_committed) {
ret = btrfs_log_inode(trans, root, inode,
LOG_INODE_EXISTS, ctx);
(...)
which is not necessary since it was created in the past transaction,
with a generation of 1000, and that transaction has already committed
its super blocks - it's still unpinning extents so it has not yet
updated fs_info->last_trans_committed from 999 to 1000.
So this just causes us to spend more time logging and allocating and
writing more tree blocks for the log tree.
So fix this by comparing an inode's generation with the generation of the
transaction our transaction handle refers to - if the inode's generation
matches the generation of the current transaction than we know it is a
new inode we need to log, otherwise don't log it.
This case is often hit when running dbench for a long enough duration.

When logging the extents of an inode during a fast fsync, we have a time
window where we can log extents that are from the previous transaction and
already persisted. This only makes us waste time unnecessarily.
The following sequence of steps shows how this can happen:
1) We are at transaction 1000;
2) An ordered extent E from inode I completes, that is it has gone through
btrfs_finish_ordered_io(), and it set the extent maps' generation to
1000 when we unpin the extent, which is the generation of the current
transaction;
3) The commit for transaction 1000 starts by task A;
4) The task committing transaction 1000 sets the transaction state to
unblocked, writes the dirty extent buffers and the super blocks, then
unlocks tree_log_mutex;
5) Some change is made to inode I, resulting in creation of a new
transaction with a generation of 1001;
6) The transaction 1000 commit starts unpinning extents. At this point
fs_info->last_trans_committed still has a value of 999;
7) Task B starts an fsync on inode I, and when it gets to
btrfs_log_changed_extents() sees the extent map for extent E in the
list of modified extents. It sees the extent map has a generation of
1000 and fs_info->last_trans_committed has a value of 999, so it
proceeds to logging the respective file extent item and all the
checksums covering its range.
So we end up wasting time since the extent was already persisted and
is reachable through the trees pointed to by the super block committed
by transaction 1000.
So just fix this by comparing the extent maps generation against the
generation of the transaction handle - if it is smaller then the id in the
handle, we know the extent was already persisted and we do not need to log
it.

When we are doing a rename or a link operation for an inode that was logged
in the previous transaction and that transaction is still committing, we
have a time window where we incorrectly consider that the inode was logged
previously in the current transaction and therefore decide to log it to
update it in the log. The following steps give an example on how this
happens during a link operation:
1) Inode X is logged in transaction 1000, so its logged_trans field is set
to 1000;
2) Task A starts to commit transaction 1000;
3) The state of transaction 1000 is changed to TRANS_STATE_UNBLOCKED;
4) Task B starts a link operation for inode X, and as a consequence it
starts transaction 1001;
5) Task A is still committing transaction 1000, therefore the value stored
at fs_info->last_trans_committed is still 999;
6) Task B calls btrfs_log_new_name(), it reads a value of 999 from
fs_info->last_trans_committed and because the logged_trans field of
inode X has a value of 1000, the function does not return immediately,
instead it proceeds to logging the inode, which should not happen
because the inode was logged in the previous transaction (1000) and
not in the current one (1001).
This is not a functional problem, just wasted time and space logging an
inode that does not need to be logged, contributing to higher latency
for link and rename operations.
So fix this by comparing the inodes' logged_trans field with the
generation of the current transaction instead of comparing with the value
stored in fs_info->last_trans_committed.
This case is often hit when running dbench for a long enough duration, as
it does lots of rename operations.

sequential write required zone, we cannot place superblock in the zone.
One easy solution is limiting superblock and copies to be placed only in
conventional zones. However, this method has two downsides: one is
reduced number of superblock copies. The location of the second copy of
superblock is 256GB, which is in a sequential write required zone on
typical devices in the market today. So, the number of superblock and
copies is limited to be two. Second downside is that we cannot support
devices which have no conventional zones at all.
To solve these two problems, we employ superblock log writing. It uses
two adjacent zones as a circular buffer to write updated superblocks.
Once the first zone is filled up, start writing into the second one.
Then, when both zones are filled up and before starting to write to the
first zone again, it reset the first zone.
We can determine the position of the latest superblock by reading write
pointer information from a device. One corner case is when both zones
are full. For this situation, we read out the last superblock of each
zone, and compare them to determine which zone is older.
The following zones are reserved as the circular buffer on ZONED btrfs.
- The primary superblock: zones 0 and 1
- The first copy: zones 16 and 17
- The second copy: zones 1024 or zone at 256GB which is minimum, and
next to it
If these reserved zones are conventional, superblock is written fixed at
the start of the zone without logging.

Placing both data and metadata in a block group is impossible in ZONED
mode. For data, we can allocate a space for it and write it immediately
after the allocation. For metadata, however, we cannot do that, because
the logical addresses are recorded in other metadata buffers to build up
the trees. As a result, a data buffer can be placed after a metadata
buffer, which is not written yet. Writing out the data buffer will break
the sequential write rule.
Check and disallow MIXED_BG with ZONED mode.

fallocate() is implemented by reserving actual extent instead of
reservations. This can result in exposing the sequential write
constraint of host-managed zoned block devices to the application, which
would break the POSIX semantic for the fallocated file. To avoid this,
report fallocate() as not supported when in ZONED mode for now.
In the future, we may be able to implement "in-memory" fallocate() in
ZONED mode by utilizing space_info->bytes_may_use or similar, so this
returns EOPNOTSUPP.

As updates to the space cache v1 are in-place, the space cache cannot be
located over sequential zones and there is no guarantees that the device
will have enough conventional zones to store this cache. Resolve this
problem by disabling completely the space cache v1. This does not
introduce any problems with sequential block groups: all the free space
is located after the allocation pointer and no free space before the
pointer. There is no need to have such cache.
Note: we can technically use free-space-tree (space cache v2) on ZONED
mode. But, since ZONED mode now always allocates extents in a block
group sequentially regardless of underlying device zone type, it's no
use to enable and maintain the tree.
For the same reason, NODATACOW is also disabled.

The zone append write command has a maximum IO size restriction it

When we are attempting to start writeback for an existing extent in NOCOW
mode, at run_delalloc_nocow(), we must check if the extent is shared, and
if it is, fallback to a COW write. However we do such check while still
holding a read lock on the leaf that contains the file extent item, and
that check, the call to btrfs_cross_ref_exist(), can take some time
because:
1) It needs to do a search on the extent tree, which obviously takes some
time, specially if delayed references are being run at the moment, as
we can block when trying to lock currently write locked btree nodes;
2) It needs to check the delayed references for any existing reference
for our data extent, this requires acquiring the delayed references'
spinlock and maybe block on the mutex of a delayed reference head in the
case where there is a delayed reference for our data extent, in the
worst case it makes us release the path on the extent tree and retry
the whole process again (going back to step 1).
There are other operations we do while holding the leaf locked that can
take some significant time as well (specially all together):
* btrfs_extent_readonly() - to check if the block group containing the
extent is currently in RO mode. This requires taking a spinlock and
searching for the block group in a rbtree that can be big on large
filesystems;
* csum_exist_in_range() - to search if there are any checksums in the
csum tree for the extent. Like before, this can take some time if we are
in a filesystem that has both COW and NOCOW files, in which case the
csum tree is not empty;
* btrfs_inc_nocow_writers() - increment the number of nocow writers in the
block group that contains the data extent. Needs to acquire a spinlock
and search for the block group in a rbtree that can be big on large
filesystems.
So just unlock the leaf (release the path) before doing all those checks,
since we do not need it anymore. In case we can not do a NOCOW write for
the extent, due to any of those checks failing, and the writeback range
goes beyond that extents' length, we will do another btree search for the
next file extent item.

The tree checker is called many times as it verifies metadata at

if (error_condition) {
report_error();

}
All the error reporting functions are annotated as __cold that is
supposed to hint the compiler to move the statement block out of the hot
path. This does not seem to happen that often.
As the error condition is expected to be false almost always, we can
annotate it with 'unlikely' as this satisfies one of the few use cases
for the annotation. The expected outcome is a stronger hint to compiler
to reorder the checks
test
jump to exit
test

If attached, we check if the existing extent buffer has proper refs.
If not (the eb is being freed), we will detach that private eb pointer.
The point here is, we are detaching that eb pointer by calling:

- put_page()
The put_page() here is especially confusing, as it's decreasing the ref
from attach_page_private(). Without knowing that, it looks like the
put_page() is for the find_or_create_page() call, confusing the reader.
Since we're always modifying page private with attach_page_private() and

really confusing.

In btrfs_lookup_bio_sums() if the bio is pretty large, we want to
start readahead in the csum tree.
However the threshold is an immediate number, (PAGE_SIZE * 8), from the
initial btrfs merge.
The meaning of the value is pretty hard to guess, especially when the
immediate number is from the times when 4K sectorsize was the default
and only CRC32C was supported.
For the most common btrfs setup, CRC32 csum and 4K sectorsize,
it means just 32K read would kick readahead, while the csum itself is
only 32 bytes in size.
Now let's be more reasonable by taking both csum size and node size into
consideration.
If the csum size for the bio is larger than one leaf, then we kick the
readahead. This means for current default btrfs, the threshold will be
16M.
This change should not change performance observably, thus this is
mostly a readability enhancement.

In end_bio_extent_readpage() we had a strange dance around
extent_start/extent_len.
Hidden behind the strange dance is, it's just calling
endio_readpage_release_extent() on each bvec range.
Here is an example to explain the original work flow:
Bio is for inode 257, containing 2 pages, for range [1M, 1M+8K)
end_bio_extent_extent_readpage() entered
|- extent_start = 0;
|- extent_end = 0;
|- bio_for_each_segment_all() {
| |- /* Got the 1st bvec */
| |- start = SZ_1M;
| |- end = SZ_1M + SZ_4K - 1;
| |- update = 1;
| |- if (extent_len == 0) {
| | |- extent_start = start; /* SZ_1M */
| | |- extent_len = end + 1 - start; /* SZ_1M */
| | }
| |
| |- /* Got the 2nd bvec */
| |- start = SZ_1M + 4K;
| |- end = SZ_1M + 4K - 1;
| |- update = 1;
| |- if (extent_start + extent_len == start) {
| | |- extent_len += end + 1 - start; /* SZ_8K */
| | }
| } /* All bio vec iterated */
|
|- if (extent_len) {
|- endio_readpage_release_extent(tree, extent_start, extent_len,
update);
/* extent_start == SZ_1M, extent_len == SZ_8K, uptodate = 1 */
As the above flow shows, the existing code in end_bio_extent_readpage()
is accumulates extent_start/extent_len, and when the contiguous range
stops, calls endio_readpage_release_extent() for the range.
However current behavior has something not really considered:
- The inode can change
For bio, its pages don't need to have contiguous page_offset.
This means, even pages from different inodes can be packed into one
bio.
- bvec cross page boundary
There is a feature called multi-page bvec, where bvec->bv_len can go
beyond bvec->bv_page boundary.
- Poor readability
This patch will address the problem:
- Introduce a proper structure, processed_extent, to record processed
extent range
- Integrate inode/start/end/uptodate check into
endio_readpage_release_extent()
- Add more comment on each step.
This should greatly improve the readability, now in
end_bio_extent_readpage() there are only two
endio_readpage_release_extent() calls.
- Add inode check for contiguity
Now we also ensure the inode is the same one before checking if the
range is contiguous.

In extent-io-test, there are two invalid tests:
- Invalid nodesize for test_eb_bitmaps()
Instead of the sectorsize and nodesize combination passed in, we're
always using hand-crafted nodesize, e.g:
len = (sectorsize < BTRFS_MAX_METADATA_BLOCKSIZE)
? sectorsize * 4 : sectorsize;
In above case, if we have 32K page size, then we will get a length of
128K, which is beyond max node size, and obviously invalid.
The common page size goes up to 64K so we haven't hit that
- Invalid extent buffer bytenr
For 64K page size, the only combination we're going to test is
sectorsize = nodesize = 64K.
However, in that case we will try to test an eb which bytenr is not
sectorsize aligned:
/* Do it over again with an extent buffer which isn't page-aligned. */
eb = __alloc_dummy_extent_buffer(fs_info, nodesize / 2, len);
Sector alignment is a hard requirement for any sector size.
The only exception is superblock. But anything else should follow
sector size alignment.
This is definitely an invalid test case.
This patch will fix both problems by:
- Honor the sectorsize/nodesize combination
Now we won't bother to hand-craft the length and use it as nodesize.
- Use sectorsize as the 2nd run extent buffer start
This would test the case where extent buffer is aligned to sectorsize
but not always aligned to nodesize.
Please note that, later subpage related cleanup will reduce
extent_buffer::pages[] to exactly what we need, making the sector
unaligned extent buffer operations cause problems.
Since only extent_io self tests utilize this, this patch is required for
all later cleanup/refactoring.

The function is needlessly convoluted. Fix that by:
* removing redundant sret variable definition in both if arms
* replace the again/done labels with direct return statements, the
function is short enough and doesn't do anything special upon exit
* remove BUG_ON on split_node returning a positive number - it can't
happen as split_node returns either 0 or a negative error code.

At the point when we set 'ret = 0' it's guaranteed that the function is
going to return 0 so directly return 0. No functional changes.

At inode.c:cow_file_range_inline(), after we insert the inline extent
in the fs/subvolume btree, we call btrfs_drop_extent_cache() to drop
all extent maps in the file range, however that is not necessary because
we have already done it in the call to btrfs_drop_extents(), which calls
btrfs_drop_extent_cache() for us, and since at this point we have the file
range locked in the inode's iotree (we are in the writeback path), we know
no other task can come in and read stale file extent items or find none
and therefore create either stale extent maps or an extent map that
represents a hole.
So just remove that unnecessary call to btrfs_drop_extent_cache(), as it's
doing nothing and only wasting time. This call has been around since 2008,
introduced in commit c8b978188c ("Btrfs: Add zlib compression support"),
but even back then it seems it was not necessary, since we had the range
locked in the inode's iotree and the call to btrfs_drop_extents() already
used to always call btrfs_drop_extent_cache().

When joining a log transaction we acquire the root's log mutex, then
increment the root's log batch and log writers counters while holding
the mutex. However we don't need to increment the log batch there,
because we are holding the mutex and incremented the log writers counter
as well, so any other task trying to sync log will wait for the current
task to finish its logging and still achieve the desired log batching.
Since the log batch counter is an atomic counter and is incremented twice
at the very beginning of the fsync callback (btrfs_sync_file()), once
before flushing delalloc and once again after waiting for writeback to
complete, eliminating its increment when joining the log transaction
may provide some performance gains in case we have multiple concurrent
tasks doing fsyncs against different files in the same subvolume, as it
reduces contention on the atomic (locking the cacheline and bouncing it).
When testing fio with 32 jobs, on a 8 cores VM, doing fsyncs against
different files of the same subvolume, on top of a zram device, I could
consistently see gains (higher throughput) between 1% to 2%, which is a
very low value and possibly hard to be observed with a real device (I
couldn't observe consistent gains with my low/mid end NVMe device).
So this change is mostly motivated to just simplify the logic, as updating
the log batch counter is only relevant when an fsync starts and while not
holding the root's log mutex.

Every time we log an inode we lookup in the fs/subvol tree for xattrs and
if we have any, log them into the log tree. However it is very common to
have inodes without any xattrs, so doing the search wastes times, but more
importantly it adds contention on the fs/subvol tree locks, either making
the logging code block and wait for tree locks or making the logging code
making other concurrent operations block and wait.
The most typical use cases where xattrs are used are when capabilities or
ACLs are defined for an inode, or when SELinux is enabled.
This change makes the logging code detect when an inode does not have
xattrs and skip the xattrs search the next time the inode is logged,
unless the inode is evicted and loaded again or a xattr is added to the
inode. Therefore skipping the search for xattrs on inodes that don't ever
have xattrs and are fsynced with some frequency.
The following script that calls dbench was used to measure the impact of
this change on a VM with 8 CPUs, 16Gb of ram, using a raw NVMe device
directly (no intermediary filesystem on the host) and using a non-debug
kernel (default configuration on Debian distributions):
$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/bash
DEV=/dev/sdk
MNT=/mnt/sdk
MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o ssd"
mkfs.btrfs -f -m single -d single $DEV
mount $MOUNT_OPTIONS $DEV $MNT
dbench -D $MNT -t 200 40
umount $MNT
