When compression is on, the cow_file_range code is farmed off to
worker threads. This allows us to do significant CPU work in parallel
on SMP machines.
But it is a delicate balance around when we clear flags and how. In
the past we cleared the delalloc flag immediately, which was safe
because the pages stayed locked.
But this is causing problems with the newest ENOSPC code, and with the
recent extent state cleanups we can now clear the delalloc bit at the
same time the uncompressed code does.

Like the cluster allocating stuff, we can lockup the box with the normal
allocation path. This happens when we
1) Start to cache a block group that is severely fragmented, but has a decent
amount of free space.
2) Start to commit a transaction
3) Have the commit try and empty out some of the delalloc inodes with extents
that are relatively large.
The inodes will not be able to make the allocations because they will ask for
allocations larger than a contiguous area in the free space cache. So we will
wait for more progress to be made on the block group, but since we're in a
commit the caching kthread won't make any more progress and it already has
enough free space that wait_block_group_cache_progress will just return. So,
if we wait and fail to make the allocation the next time around, just loop and
go to the next block group. This keeps us from getting stuck in a softlockup.

The btrfs async worker threads are used for a wide variety of things,
including processing bio end_io functions. This means that when
the endio threads aren't running, the rest of the FS isn't
able to do the final processing required to clear PageWriteback.
The endio threads also try to exit as they become idle and
start more as the work piles up. The problem is that starting more
threads means kthreadd may need to allocate ram, and that allocation
may wait until the global number of writeback pages on the system is
below a certain limit.
The result of that throttling is that end IO threads wait on
kthreadd, who is waiting on IO to end, which will never happen.
This commit fixes the deadlock by handing off thread startup to a
dedicated thread. It also fixes a bug where the on-demand thread
creation was creating far too many threads because it didn't take into
account threads being started by other procs.

At the start of a transaction we do a btrfs_reserve_metadata_space() and
specify how many items we plan on modifying. Then once we've done our
modifications and such, just call btrfs_unreserve_metadata_space() for
the same number of items we reserved.
For keeping track of metadata needed for data I've had to add an extent_io op
for when we merge extents. This lets us track space properly when we are doing
sequential writes, so we don't end up reserving way more metadata space than
what we need.
The only place where the metadata space accounting is not done is in the
relocation code. This is because Yan is going to be reworking that code in the
near future, so running btrfs-vol -b could still possibly result in a ENOSPC
related panic. This patch also turns off the metadata_ratio stuff in order to
allow users to more efficiently use their disk space.
This patch makes it so we track how much metadata we need for an inode's
delayed allocation extents by tracking how many extents are currently
waiting for allocation. It introduces two new callbacks for the
extent_io tree's, merge_extent_hook and split_extent_hook. These help
us keep track of when we merge delalloc extents together and split them
up. Reservations are handled prior to any actually dirty'ing occurs,
and then we unreserve after we dirty.
btrfs_unreserve_metadata_for_delalloc() will make the appropriate
unreservations as needed based on the number of reservations we
currently have and the number of extents we currently have. Doing the
reservation outside of doing any of the actual dirty'ing lets us do
things like filemap_flush() the inode to try and force delalloc to
happen, or as a last resort actually start allocation on all delalloc
inodes in the fs. This has survived dbench, fs_mark and an fsx torture
test.

During releasepage, we try to drop any extent_state structs for the
bye offsets of the page we're releaseing. But the code was incorrectly
telling clear_extent_bit to delete the state struct unconditionallly.
Normally this would be fine because we have the page locked, but other
parts of btrfs will lock down an entire extent, the most common place
being IO completion.
releasepage was deleting the extent state without first locking the extent,
which may result in removing a state struct that another process had
locked down. The fix here is to leave the NODATASUM and EXTENT_LOCKED

Both set and clear_extent_bit allow passing a cached

bits without making sure the cached state was exactly correct
for the operation we were doing.
This also fixes up the setting of the start variable for both

we were incorrectly going backwards from the original

The box can get locked up in the allocator if we happen upon a block group
under these conditions:
1) During a commit, so caching threads cannot make progress
2) Our block group currently is in the middle of being cached
3) Our block group currently has plenty of free space in it
4) Our block group is so fragmented that it ends up having no free space chunks
larger than min_bytes calculated by btrfs_find_space_cluster.
What happens is we try and do btrfs_find_space_cluster, which fails because it
is unable to find enough free space chunks that are large than min_bytes and
are close enough together. Since the block group is not cached we do a
wait_block_group_cache_progress, which waits for the number of bytes we need,
except the block group already has _plenty_ of free space, its just severely
fragmented, so we loop and try again, ad infinitum. This patch keeps us from
waiting on the block group to finish caching if we failed to find a free space
cluster before. It also makes sure that we don't even try to find a free space

checking to see if we have room to move this chunk around, and if not, return

groups that are moveable, like if we have alot of empty metadata block groups,
and then that way we make room to be able to balance our data chunks as well.

When btrfs fills a delayed allocation, it tries to increase

more blocks will save seeks overall at a very low cost.
The problem is that extent_write_cache_pages could ignore
the new higher nr_to_write if nr_to_write had already gone
down to zero. We fix that by rechecking the nr_to_write
for every page that is processed in the pagevec.

This patch gets rid of two limitations of async block group caching.

This patch introduces a data structure to track the progress of

The logged file extents are also handled in a similar way.
This patch also changes how pinned extents are tracked. The old
code uses one tree to track pinned extents, and copy the pinned
extents tree at transaction commit time. This patch makes it use
two trees to track pinned extents. One tree for extents that are
pinned in the running transaction, one tree for extents that can

Even though both the readpage and the write had their respective bytes

Btrfs writes go through delalloc to the data=ordered code. This
makes sure that all of the data is on disk before the metadata
that references it. The tracking means that we have to make sure
each page in an extent is fully written before we add that extent into
the on-disk btree.
This was done in the past by setting the EXTENT_ORDERED bit for the
range of an extent when it was added to the data=ordered code, and then
clearing the EXTENT_ORDERED bit in the extent state tree as each page
finished IO.
One of the reasons we had to do this was because sometimes pages are
magically dirtied without page_mkwrite being called. The EXTENT_ORDERED
bit is checked at writepage time, and if it isn't there, our page become
dirty without going through the proper path.
These bit operations make for a number of rbtree searches for each page,
and can cause considerable lock contention.
This commit switches from the EXTENT_ORDERED bit to use PagePrivate2.
As pages go into the ordered code, PagePrivate2 is set on each one.
This is a cheap operation because we already have all the pages locked
and ready to go.
As IO finishes, the PagePrivate2 bit is cleared and the ordered
accoutning is updated for each page.
At writepage time, if the PagePrivate2 bit is missing, we go into the
writepage fixup code to handle improperly dirtied pages.

Many of the btrfs extent state tree users follow the same pattern.
They lock an extent range in the tree, do some operation and then
unlock.
This translates to at least 2 rbtree searches, and maybe more if they
are doing operations on the extent state tree. A locked extent
in the tree isn't going to be merged or changed, and so we can
safely return the extent state structure as a cached handle.

Btrfs is currently mirroring some of the page state bits into
its extent state tree. The goal behind this was to use it in supporting
blocksizes other than the page size.
But, we don't currently support that, and we're using quite a lot of CPU
on the rb tree and its spin lock. This commit starts a series of
cleanups to reduce the amount of work done in the extent state tree as
part of each IO.
This commit:
* Adds the ability to lock an extent in the state tree and also set
other bits. The idea is to do locking and delalloc in one call
* Removes the EXTENT_WRITEBACK and EXTENT_DIRTY bits. Btrfs is using
a combination of the page bits and the ordered write code for this

As the extent state tree is manipulated, there are call backs
that are used to take extra actions when different state bits are set
or cleared. One example of this is a counter for the total number
of delayed allocation bytes in a single inode and in the whole FS.
When new states are inserted, this callback is being done before we
properly setup the new state. This hasn't caused problems before
because the lock bit was always done first, and the existing call backs
don't care about the lock bit.
This patch makes sure the state is properly setup before using the
callback, which is important for later optimizations that do more work
without using the lock bit.
