We make this reservation and add it to + * space_info->bytes_may_use. We set EXTENT_DELALLOC on the inode io_tree + * for the range and carry on if this is buffered, or follow up trying to + * make a real allocation if we are pre-allocating or doing O_DIRECT. + * + * -> Use + * At writepages()/prealloc/O_DIRECT time we will call into + * btrfs_reserve_extent() for some part or all of this range of bytes. We + * will make the allocation and subtract space_info->bytes_may_use by the + * original requested length and increase the space_info->bytes_reserved by + * the allocated length. This distinction is important because compression + * may allocate a smaller on disk extent than we previously reserved. + * + * -> Allocation + * finish_ordered_io() will insert the new file extent item for this range, + * and then add a delayed ref update for the extent tree. Once that delayed + * ref is written the extent size is subtracted from + * space_info->bytes_reserved and added to space_info->bytes_used. + * + * Error handling + * + * -> By the reservation maker + * This is the simplest case, we haven't completed our operation and we know + * how much we reserved, we can simply call + * btrfs_free_reserved_data_space*() and it will be removed from + * space_info->bytes_may_use. + * + * -> After the reservation has been made, but before cow_file_range() + * This is specifically for the delalloc case. You must clear + * EXTENT_DELALLOC with the EXTENT_CLEAR_DATA_RESV bit, and the range will + * be subtracted from space_info->bytes_may_use. + * + * METADATA RESERVATION + * The general metadata reservation lifetimes are discussed elsewhere, this + * will just focus on how it is used for delalloc space. + * + * We keep track of two things on a per inode bases + * + * ->outstanding_extents + * This is the number of file extent items we'll need to handle all of the + * outstanding DELALLOC space we have in this inode. We limit the maximum + * size of an extent, so a large contiguous dirty area may require more than + * one outstanding_extent, which is why count_max_extents() is used to + * determine how many outstanding_extents get added. + * + * ->csum_bytes + * This is essentially how many dirty bytes we have for this inode, so we + * can calculate the number of checksum items we would have to add in order + * to checksum our outstanding data. + * + * We keep a per-inode block_rsv in order to make it easier to keep track of + * our reservation. We use btrfs_calculate_inode_block_rsv_size() to + * calculate the current theoretical maximum reservation we would need for the + * metadata for this inode. We call this and then adjust our reservation as + * necessary, either by attempting to reserve more space, or freeing up excess + * space. + * + * OUTSTANDING_EXTENTS HANDLING + * + * ->outstanding_extents is used for keeping track of how many extents we will + * need to use for this inode, and it will fluctuate depending on where you are + * in the life cycle of the dirty data. Consider the following normal case for + * a completely clean inode, with a num_bytes < our maximum allowed extent size + * + * -> reserve + * ->outstanding_extents += 1 (current value is 1) + * + * -> set_delalloc + * ->outstanding_extents += 1 (currrent value is 2) + * + * -> btrfs_delalloc_release_extents() + * ->outstanding_extents -= 1 (current value is 1) + * + * We must call this once we are done, as we hold our reservation for the + * duration of our operation, and then assume set_delalloc will update the + * counter appropriately. + * + * -> add ordered extent + * ->outstanding_extents += 1 (current value is 2) + * + * -> btrfs_clear_delalloc_extent + * ->outstanding_extents -= 1 (current value is 1) + * + * -> finish_ordered_io/btrfs_remove_ordered_extent + * ->outstanding_extents -= 1 (current value is 0) + * + * Each stage is responsible for their own accounting of the extent, thus + * making error handling and cleanup easier. + */ + int btrfs_alloc_data_chunk_ondemand(struct btrfs_inode *inode, u64 bytes) { struct btrfs_root *root = inode->root; |
