We loop through all of the dirty block groups during commit and write
the free space cache. In order to make sure the cache is currect, we do
this while no other writers are allowed in the commit.
If a large number of block groups are dirty, this can introduce long
stalls during the final stages of the commit, which can block new procs
trying to change the filesystem.
This commit changes the block group cache writeout to take appropriate
locks and allow it to run earlier in the commit. We'll still have to
redo some of the block groups, but it means we can get most of the work
out of the way without blocking the entire FS.

We can get into inconsistency between inodes and directory entries
after fsyncing a directory. The issue is that while a directory gets
the new dentries persisted in the fsync log and replayed at mount time,
the link count of the inode that directory entries point to doesn't
get updated, staying with an incorrect link count (smaller then the
correct value). This later leads to stale file handle errors when
accessing (including attempt to delete) some of the links if all the
other ones are removed, which also implies impossibility to delete the
parent directories, since the dentries can not be removed.
Another issue is that (unlike ext3/4, xfs, f2fs, reiserfs, nilfs2),
when fsyncing a directory, new files aren't logged (their metadata and
dentries) nor any child directories. So this patch fixes this issue too,
since it has the same resolution as the incorrect inode link count issue
mentioned before.
This is very easy to reproduce, and the following excerpt from my test
case for xfstests shows how:

# Make sure all metadata and data are durably persisted.
sync
# Add a hard link to 'foo' inside our test directory and fsync only the
# directory. The btrfs fsync implementation had a bug that caused the new
# directory entry to be visible after the fsync log replay but, the inode
# of our file remained with a link count of 1.
ln $SCRATCH_MNT/foo $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/foo_2
# Add a few more links and new files.
# This is just to verify nothing breaks or gives incorrect results after the
# fsync log is replayed.

ln $SCRATCH_MNT/hello $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/hello_2
# Add some subdirectories and new files and links to them. This is to verify
# that after fsyncing our top level directory 'mydir', all the subdirectories
# and their files/links are registered in the fsync log and exist after the
# fsync log is replayed.

Btrfs will report NO_SPACE when we create and remove files for several times,
and we can't write to filesystem until mount it again.
Steps to reproduce:
1: Create a single-dev btrfs fs with default option
2: Write a file into it to take up most fs space
3: Delete above file
4: Wait about 100s to let chunk removed
5: goto 2
Script is like following:

# Recommend 1.2G space, too large disk will make test slow
DEV="/dev/sda16"
MNT="/mnt/tmp"
dev_size="$(lsblk -bn -o SIZE "$DEV")" || exit 2

Reason:
It is triggered by commit: 47ab2a6c68
which is used to remove empty block groups automatically, but the
reason is not in that patch. Code before works well because btrfs
don't need to create and delete chunks so many times with high
complexity.
Above bug is caused by many reason, any of them can trigger it.
Reason1:
When we remove some continuous chunks but leave other chunks after,
these disk space should be used by chunk-recreating, but in current
code, only first create will successed.

Currently any time we try to update the block groups on disk we will walk _all_
block groups and check for the ->dirty flag to see if it is set. This function
can get called several times during a commit. So if you have several terabytes
of data you will be a very sad panda as we will loop through _all_ of the block
groups several times, which makes the commit take a while which slows down the
rest of the file system operations.
This patch introduces a dirty list for the block groups that we get added to
when we dirty the block group for the first time. Then we simply update any
block groups that have been dirtied since the last time we called
btrfs_write_dirty_block_groups. This allows us to clean up how we write the
free space cache out so it is much cleaner. Thanks,

Liu Bo pointed out that my previous fix would lose the generation update in the
scenario I described. It is actually much worse than that, we could lose the
entire extent if we lose power right after the transaction commits. Consider
the following
write extent 0-4k
log extent in log tree
commit transaction
< power fail happens here
ordered extent completes
We would lose the 0-4k extent because it hasn't updated the actual fs tree, and
the transaction commit will reset the log so it isn't replayed. If we lose
power before the transaction commit we are save, otherwise we are not.
Fix this by keeping track of all extents we logged in this transaction. Then
when we go to commit the transaction make sure we wait for all of those ordered
extents to complete before proceeding. This will make sure that if we lose
power after the transaction commit we still have our data. This also fixes the
problem of the improperly updated extent generation. Thanks,

When committing a transaction or a log, we look for btree extents that
need to be durably persisted by searching for ranges in a io tree that
have some bits set (EXTENT_DIRTY or EXTENT_NEW). We then attempt to clear
those bits and set the EXTENT_NEED_WAIT bit, with calls to the function
convert_extent_bit, and then start writeback for the extents.
That function however can return an error (at the moment only -ENOMEM
is possible, specially when it does GFP_ATOMIC allocation requests
through alloc_extent_state_atomic) - that means the ranges didn't got
the EXTENT_NEED_WAIT bit set (or at least not for the whole range),
which in turn means a call to btrfs_wait_marked_extents() won't find
those ranges for which we started writeback, causing a transaction
commit or a log commit to persist a new superblock without waiting
for the writeback of extents in that range to finish first.
Therefore if a crash happens after persisting the new superblock and
before writeback finishes, we have a superblock pointing to roots that
weren't fully persisted or roots that point to nodes or leafs that weren't
fully persisted, causing all sorts of unexpected/bad behaviour as we endup
reading garbage from disk or the content of some node/leaf from a past
generation that got cowed or deleted and is no longer valid (for this later
case we end up getting error messages like "parent transid verify failed on
X wanted Y found Z" when reading btree nodes/leafs from disk).

Truncates and renames are often used to replace old versions of a file
with new versions. Applications often expect this to be an atomic
replacement, even if they haven't done anything to make sure the new
version is fully on disk.
Btrfs has strict flushing in place to make sure that renaming over an
old file with a new file will fully flush out the new file before
allowing the transaction commit with the rename to complete.
This ordering means the commit code needs to be able to lock file pages,
and there are a few paths in the filesystem where we will try to end a
transaction with the page lock held. It's rare, but these things can
deadlock.
This patch removes the ordered flushes and switches to a best effort
filemap_flush like ext4 uses. It's not perfect, but it should fix the
deadlocks.

Lets try this again. We can deadlock the box if we send on a box and try to
write onto the same fs with the app that is trying to listen to the send pipe.
This is because the writer could get stuck waiting for a transaction commit
which is being blocked by the send. So fix this by making sure looking at the
commit roots is always going to be consistent. We do this by keeping track of
which roots need to have their commit roots swapped during commit, and then
taking the commit_root_sem and swapping them all at once. Then make sure we
take a read lock on the commit_root_sem in cases where we search the commit root
to make sure we're always looking at a consistent view of the commit roots.
Previously we had problems with this because we would swap a fs tree commit root
and then swap the extent tree commit root independently which would cause the
backref walking code to screw up sometimes. With this patch we no longer
deadlock and pass all the weird send/receive corner cases. Thanks,

So I have an awful exercise script that will run snapshot, balance and
send/receive in parallel. This sometimes would crash spectacularly and when it
came back up the fs would be completely hosed. Turns out this is because of a
bad interaction of balance and send/receive. Send will hold onto its entire
path for the whole send, but its blocks could get relocated out from underneath
it, and because it doesn't old tree locks theres nothing to keep this from
happening. So it will go to read in a slot with an old transid, and we could
have re-allocated this block for something else and it could have a completely
different transid. But because we think it is invalid we clear uptodate and
re-read in the block. If we do this before we actually write out the new block
we could write back stale data to the fs, and boom we're screwed.
Now we definitely need to fix this disconnect between send and balance, but we
really really need to not allow ourselves to accidently read in stale data over
new data. So make sure we check if the extent buffer is not under io before
clearing uptodate, this will kick back EIO to the caller instead of reading in
stale data and keep us from corrupting the fs. Thanks,

Looking into some performance related issues with large amounts of metadata
revealed that we can have some pretty huge swings in fsync() performance. If we
have a lot of delayed refs backed up (as you will tend to do with lots of
metadata) fsync() will wander off and try to run some of those delayed refs
which can result in reading from disk and such. Since the actual act of fsync()
doesn't create any delayed refs there is no need to make it throttle on delayed
ref stuff, that will be handled by other people. With this patch we get much
smoother fsync performance with large amounts of metadata. Thanks,

Two reasons:
- btrfs_end_transaction_dmeta() is the same as btrfs_end_transaction_throttle()
so it is unnecessary.
- All the delayed items should be dealt in the current transaction, so the
workers should not commit the transaction, instead, deal with the delayed
items as many as possible.
So we can remove btrfs_end_transaction_dmeta()

The reason of the problem is that the relocation root creation stole
the reserved space, which was reserved for orphan item deletion.
There are several ways to fix this problem, one is to increasing
the reserved space size of the space balace, and then we can use
that space to create the relocation tree for each fs/file trees.
But it is hard to calculate the suitable size because we doesn't
know how many fs/file trees we need relocate.
We fixed this problem by reserving the space for relocation root creation
actively since the space it need is very small (one tree block, used for
root node copy), then we use that reserved space to create the
relocation tree. If we don't reserve space for relocation tree creation,
we will use the reserved space of the balance.

I was noticing the slab redzone stuff going off every once and a while during
transaction aborts. This was caused by two things
1) We would walk the pending snapshots and set their error to -ECANCELED. We
don't need to do this, the snapshot stuff waits for a transaction commit and if
there is a problem we just free our pending snapshot object and exit. Doing
this was causing us to touch the pending snapshot object after the thing had
already been freed.
2) We were freeing the transaction manually with wanton disregard for it's
use_count reference counter. To fix this I cleaned up the transaction freeing
loop to either wait for the transaction commit to finish if it was in the middle
of that (since it will be cleaned and freed up there) or to do the cleanup
oursevles.
I also moved the global "kill all things dirty everywhere" stuff outside of the
transaction cleanup loop since that only needs to be done once. With this patch
I'm no longer seeing slab corruption because of use after frees. Thanks,

When adjusting the enospc rules for relocation I ran into a deadlock because we
were relocating the only system chunk and that forced us to try and allocate a
new system chunk while holding locks in the chunk tree, which caused us to
deadlock. To fix this I've moved all of the dev extent addition and chunk
addition out to the delayed chunk completion stuff. We still keep the in-memory
stuff which makes sure everything is consistent.
One change I had to make was to search the commit root of the device tree to
find a free dev extent, and hold onto any chunk em's that we allocated in that
transaction so we do not allocate the same dev extent twice. This has the side
effect of fixing a bug with balance that has been there ever since balance
existed. Basically you can free a block group and it's dev extent and then
immediately allocate that dev extent for a new block group and write stuff to
that dev extent, all within the same transaction. So if you happen to crash
during a balance you could come back to a completely broken file system. This
patch should keep these sort of things from happening in the future since we
won't be able to allocate free'd dev extents until after the transaction
commits. This has passed all of the xfstests and my super annoying stress test
followed by a balance. Thanks,

We used 3 variants to track the state of the transaction, it was complex
and wasted the memory space. Besides that, it was hard to understand that
which types of the transaction handles should be blocked in each transaction
state, so the developers often made mistakes.
This patch improved the above problem. In this patch, we define 6 states
for the transaction,
enum btrfs_trans_state {
TRANS_STATE_RUNNING = 0,
TRANS_STATE_BLOCKED = 1,
TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START = 2,
TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_DOING = 3,
TRANS_STATE_UNBLOCKED = 4,
TRANS_STATE_COMPLETED = 5,
TRANS_STATE_MAX = 6,
}
and just use 1 variant to track those state.
In order to make the blocked handle types for each state more clear,
we introduce a array:
unsigned int btrfs_blocked_trans_types[TRANS_STATE_MAX] = {
[TRANS_STATE_RUNNING] = 0U,

We used ->num_joined track if there were some writers which join the current
transaction when the committer was sleeping. If some writers joined the current
transaction, we has to continue the while loop to do some necessary stuff, such
as flush the ordered operations. But it is unnecessary because we will do it
after the while loop.
Besides that, tracking ->num_joined would make the committer drop into the while
loop when there are lots of internal writers(TRANS_JOIN).
So we remove ->num_joined and don't track if there are some writers which join
the current transaction when the committer is sleeping.

btrfs_commit_transaction has the following loop before we commit the
transaction.
do {
// attempt to do some useful stuff and/or sleep
} while (atomic_read(&cur_trans->num_writers) > 1 ||
(should_grow && cur_trans->num_joined != joined));
This is used to prevent from the TRANS_START to get in the way of a
committing transaction. But it does not prevent from TRANS_JOIN, that
is we would do this loop for a long time if some writers JOIN the
current transaction endlessly.
Because we need join the current transaction to do some useful stuff,
we can not block TRANS_JOIN here. So we introduce a external writer
counter, which is used to count the TRANS_USERSPACE/TRANS_START writers.
If the external writer counter is zero, we can break the above loop.
In order to make the code more clear, we don't use enum variant
to define the type of the transaction handle, use bitmask instead.

There are two problems in the space reservation of the snapshot/
subvolume creation.
- don't reserve the space for the root item insertion
- the space which is reserved in the qgroup is different with
the free space reservation. we need reserve free space for
7 items, but in qgroup reservation, we need reserve space only
for 3 items.
So we implement new metadata reservation functions for the
snapshot/subvolume creation.

In some cases, we need commit the current transaction, but don't want
to start a new one if there is no running transaction, so we introduce
the function - btrfs_attach_transaction(), which can catch the current
transaction, and return -ENOENT if there is no running transaction.
But no running transaction doesn't mean the current transction completely,
because we removed the running transaction before it completes. In some
cases, it doesn't matter. But in some special cases, such as freeze fs, we
hope the transaction is fully on disk, it will introduce some bugs, for
example, we may feeze the fs and dump the data in the disk, if the transction
doesn't complete, we would dump inconsistent data. So we need fix the above
problem for those cases.
We fixes this problem by introducing a function:
btrfs_attach_transaction_barrier()
if we hope all the transaction is fully on the disk, even they are not
running, we can use this function.

Miao made the ordered operations stuff run async, which introduced a
deadlock where we could get somebody (sync) racing in and committing the
transaction while a commit was already happening. The new committer would
try and flush ordered operations which would hang waiting for the commit to
finish because it is done asynchronously and no longer inherits the callers
trans handle. To fix this we need to make the ordered operations list a per
transaction list. We can get new inodes added to the ordered operation list
by truncating them and then having another process writing to them, so this
makes it so that anybody trying to add an ordered operation _must_ start a
transaction in order to add itself to the list, which will keep new inodes
from getting added to the ordered operations list after we start committing.
This should fix the deadlock and also keeps us from doing a lot more work
than we need to during commit. Thanks,

If we start running low on metadata space we will try to allocate a chunk,
which could then try to allocate a chunk to add the device entry. The thing
is we allocate a chunk before we try really hard to make the allocation, so
we should be able to find space for the device entry. Add a flag to the
trans handle so we know we're currently allocating a chunk so we can just
bail out if we try to allocate another chunk. Thanks,

In some places(such as: evicting inode), we just can not flush the reserved
space of delalloc, flushing the delayed directory index and delayed inode
is OK, but we don't try to flush those things and just go back when there is
no enough space to be reserved. This patch fixes this problem.
We defined 3 types of the flush operations: NO_FLUSH, FLUSH_LIMIT and FLUSH_ALL.
If we can in the transaction, we should not flush anything, or the deadlock
would happen, so use NO_FLUSH. If we flushing the reserved space of delalloc
would cause deadlock, use FLUSH_LIMIT. In the other cases, FLUSH_ALL is used,
and we will flush all things.

+ spin_unlock(&fs_info->trans_lock);
return 0;
}
I found there was a orphan transaction after the freeze operation was done.
It is because the transaction may not be committed when the transaction handle
end even though it is the last handle of the current transaction. This design
avoid committing the transaction frequently, but also introduce the above
problem.
So I add btrfs_attach_transaction() which can catch the current transaction
and commit it. If there is no transaction, it will return ENOENT, and do not
anything.
This function also can be used to instead of btrfs_join_transaction_freeze()
because it don't increase the writer counter and don't start a new transaction,
so it also can fix the deadlock between sync and freeze.
Besides that, it is used to instead of btrfs_join_transaction() in
transaction_kthread(), because if there is no transaction, the transaction
kthread needn't anything.

So we have lots of places where we try to preallocate chunks in order to
make sure we have enough space as we make our allocations. This has
historically meant that we're constantly tweaking when we should allocate a
new chunk, and historically we have gotten this horribly wrong so we way
over allocate either metadata or data. To try and keep this from happening
we are going to make it so that the block group item insertion is done out
of band at the end of a transaction. This will allow us to create chunks
even if we are trying to make an allocation for the extent tree. With this
patch my enospc tests run faster (didn't expect this) and more efficiently
use the disk space (this is what I wanted). Thanks,

When we delete a inode, we will remove all the delayed items including delayed
inode update, and then truncate all the relative metadata. If there is lots of
metadata, we will end the current transaction, and start a new transaction to
truncate the left metadata. In this way, we will leave a inode item that its
link counter is > 0, and also may leave some directory index items in fs/file tree
after the current transaction ends. In other words, the metadata in this fs/file tree
is inconsistent. If we create a snapshot for this tree now, we will find a inode with
corrupted metadata in the new snapshot, and we won't continue to drop the left metadata,
because its link counter is not 0.
We fix this problem by updating the inode item before the current transaction ends.

This is based on Josef's "Btrfs: turbo charge fsync".
The current btrfs checks if an inode is in log by comparing
root's last_log_commit to inode's last_sub_trans[2].
But the problem is that this root->last_log_commit is shared among
inodes.
Say we have N inodes to be logged, after the first inode,
root's last_log_commit is updated and the N-1 remained files will
be skipped.
This fixes the bug by keeping a local copy of root's last_log_commit
inside each inode and this local copy will be maintained itself.
[1]: we regard each log transaction as a subset of btrfs's transaction,
i.e. sub_trans

There is weird logic I had to put in place to make sure that when we were
adding csums that we'd used the delalloc block rsv instead of the global
block rsv. Part of this meant that we had to free up our transaction
reservation before we ran the delayed refs since csum deletion happens
during the delayed ref work. The problem with this is that when we release
a reservation we will add it to the global reserve if it is not full in
order to keep us going along longer before we have to force a transaction
commit. By releasing our reservation before we run delayed refs we don't
get the opportunity to drain down the global reserve for the work we did, so
we won't refill it as often. This isn't a problem per-se, it just results
in us possibly committing transactions more and more often, and in rare
cases could cause those WARN_ON()'s to pop in use_block_rsv because we ran
out of space in our block rsv.
This also helps us by holding onto space while the delayed refs run so we
don't end up with as many people trying to do things at the same time, which
again will help us not force commits or hit the use_block_rsv warnings.

Originally this was going to be used as a way to give hints to the allocator,
but frankly we can get much better hints elsewhere and it's not even used at all
for anything usefull. In addition to be completely useless, when we initialize
an inode we try and find a freeish block group to set as the inodes block group,
and with a completely full 40gb fs this takes _forever_, so I imagine with say
1tb fs this is just unbearable. So just axe the thing altoghether, we don't
need it and it saves us 8 bytes in the inode and saves us 500 microseconds per

We use trans_mutex for lots of things, here's a basic list
1) To serialize trans_handles joining the currently running transaction
2) To make sure that no new trans handles are started while we are committing
3) To protect the dead_roots list and the transaction lists
Really the serializing trans_handles joining is not too hard, and can really get
bogged down in acquiring a reference to the transaction. So replace the
trans_mutex with a trans_lock spinlock and use it to do the following
1) Protect fs_info->running_transaction. All trans handles have to do is check
this, and then take a reference of the transaction and keep on going.
2) Protect the fs_info->trans_list. This doesn't get used too much, basically
it just holds the current transactions, which will usually just be the currently
committing transaction and the currently running transaction at most.
3) Protect the dead roots list. This is only ever processed by splicing the
list so this is relatively simple.
4) Protect the fs_info->reloc_ctl stuff. This is very lightweight and was using
the trans_mutex before, so this is a pretty straightforward change.
5) Protect fs_info->no_trans_join. Because we don't hold the trans_lock over
the entirety of the commit we need to have a way to block new people from
creating a new transaction while we're doing our work. So we set no_trans_join
and in join_transaction we test to see if that is set, and if it is we do a
wait_on_commit.
6) Make the transaction use count atomic so we don't need to take locks to
modify it when we're dropping references.
7) Add a commit_lock to the transaction to make sure multiple people trying to
commit the same transaction don't race and commit at the same time.
8) Make open_ioctl_trans an atomic so we don't have to take any locks for ioctl
trans.
I have tested this with xfstests, but obviously it is a pretty hairy change so
lots of testing is greatly appreciated. Thanks,
