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.

Block group cache writeout is currently waiting on the pages for each
block group cache before moving on to writing the next one. This commit
switches things around to send down all the caches and then wait on them
in batches.
The end result is much faster, since we're keeping the disk pipeline
full.

Trimming is completely transactionless, and the way it operates consists
of hiding free space entries from a block group, perform the trim/discard
and then make the free space entries visible again.
Therefore while a free space entry is being trimmed, we can have free space
cache writing running in parallel (as part of a transaction commit) which
will miss the free space entry. This means that an unmount (or crash/reboot)
after that transaction commit and mount again before another transaction
starts/commits after the discard finishes, we will have some free space
that won't be used again unless the free space cache is rebuilt. After the
unmount, fsck (btrfsck, btrfs check) reports the issue like the following
example:
*** fsck.btrfs output ***
checking extents
checking free space cache
There is no free space entry for 521764864-521781248
There is no free space entry for 521764864-1103101952

UUID: b4789e27-4774-4626-98e9-ae8dfbfb0fb5
found 1235681286 bytes used err is -22
(...)
Another issue caused by this race is a crash while writing bitmap entries
to the cache, because while the cache writeout task accesses the bitmaps,
the trim task can be concurrently modifying the bitmap or worse might
be freeing the bitmap. The later case results in the following crash:

By the current code, if the requested size is very large, and all the extents
in the free space cache are small, we will waste lots of the cpu time to cut
the requested size in half and search the cache again and again until it gets
down to the size the allocator can return. In fact, we can know the max extent
size in the cache after the first search, so we needn't cut the size in half
repeatedly, and just use the max extent size directly. This way can save
lots of cpu time and make the performance grow up when there are only fragments
in the free space cache.
According to my test, if there are only 4KB free space extents in the fs,
and the total size of those extents are 256MB, we can reduce the execute
time of the following test from 5.4s to 1.4s.
dd if=/dev/zero of=<testfile> bs=1MB count=1 oflag=sync
Changelog v2 -> v3:
- fix the problem that we skip the block group with the space which is
less than we need.
Changelog v1 -> v2:
- address the problem that we return a wrong start position when searching
the free space in a bitmap.

The plan is to have a bunch of unit tests that run when btrfs is loaded when you
build with the appropriate config option. My ultimate goal is to have a test
for every non-static function we have, but at first I'm going to focus on the
things that cause us the most problems. To start out with this just adds a
tests/ directory and moves the existing free space cache tests into that
directory and sets up all of the infrastructure. Thanks,

I noticed while looking at a deadlock that we are always starting a transaction
in cow_file_range(). This isn't really needed since we only need a transaction
if we are doing an inline extent, or if the allocator needs to allocate a chunk.
So push down all the transaction start stuff to be closer to where we actually
need a transaction in all of these cases. This will hopefully reduce our write
latency when we are committing often. Thanks,

It is very likely that there are lots of subvolumes/snapshots in the filesystem,
so if we use global block reservation to do inode cache truncation, we may hog
all the free space that is reserved in global rsv. So it is better that we do
the free space reservation for inode cache truncation by ourselves.

We keep hitting bugs in the tree log replay because btrfs_remove_free_space
doesn't account for some corner case. So add a bunch of tests to try and fully
test btrfs_remove_free_space since the only time it is called is during tree log
replay. These tests all finish successfully, so as we find more of these bugs
we need to add to these tests to make sure we don't regress in fixing things.
I've hidden the tests behind a Kconfig option, but they take no time to run so
all btrfs developers should have this turned on all the time. Thanks,

This is similar to block group caching.
We dedicate a special inode in fs tree to save free ino cache.
At the very first time we create/delete a file after mount, the free ino
cache will be loaded from disk into memory. When the fs tree is commited,
the cache will be written back to disk.
To keep compatibility, we check the root generation against the generation
of the special inode when loading the cache, so the loading will fail
if the btrfs filesystem was mounted in an older kernel before.

Currently btrfs stores the highest objectid of the fs tree, and it always
returns (highest+1) inode number when we create a file, so inode numbers
won't be reclaimed when we delete files, so we'll run out of inode numbers
as we keep create/delete files in 32bits machines.
This fixes it, and it works similarly to how we cache free space in block
cgroups.
We start a kernel thread to read the file tree. By scanning inode items,
we know which chunks of inode numbers are free, and we cache them in
an rb-tree.
Because we are searching the commit root, we have to carefully handle the
cross-transaction case.
The rb-tree is a hybrid extent+bitmap tree, so if we have too many small
chunks of inode numbers, we'll use bitmaps. Initially we allow 16K ram
of extents, and a bitmap will be used if we exceed this threshold. The
extents threshold is adjusted in runtime.

So we can re-use the code to cache free inode numbers.
The change is quite straightforward. Two new structures are introduced.
- struct btrfs_free_space_ctl
We move those variables that are used for caching free space from
struct btrfs_block_group_cache to this new struct.
- struct btrfs_free_space_op
We do block group specific work (e.g. calculation of extents threshold)
through functions registered in this struct.
And then we can remove references to struct btrfs_block_group_cache.

This patch actually loads the free space cache if it exists. The only thing
that really changes here is that we need to cache the block group if we're going
to remove an extent from it. Previously we did not do this since the caching
kthread would pick it up. With the on disk cache we don't have this luxury so
we need to make sure we read the on disk cache in first, and then remove the
extent, that way when the extent is unpinned the free space is added to the
block group. This has been tested with all sorts of things.

This is a simple bit, just dump the free space cache out to our preallocated
inode when we're writing out dirty block groups. There are a bunch of changes
in inode.c in order to account for special cases. Mostly when we're doing the
writeout we're holding trans_mutex, so we need to use the nolock transacation
functions. Also we can't do asynchronous completions since the async thread
could be blocked on already completed IO waiting for the transaction lock. This
has been tested with xfstests and btrfs filesystem balance, as well as my ENOSPC
tests. Thanks,

In order to save free space cache, we need an inode to hold the data, and we
need a special item to point at the right inode for the right block group. So
first, create a special item that will point to the right inode, and the number
of extent entries we will have and the number of bitmaps we will have. We
truncate and pre-allocate space everytime to make sure it's uptodate.
This feature will be turned on as soon as you mount with -o space_cache, however
it is safe to boot into old kernels, they will just generate the cache the old
fashion way. When you boot back into a newer kernel we will notice that we
modified and not the cache and automatically discard the cache.

Currently btrfs has a problem where it can use a ridiculous amount of RAM simply
tracking free space. As free space gets fragmented, we end up with thousands of
entries on an rb-tree per block group, which usually spans 1 gig of area. Since
we currently don't ever flush free space cache back to disk this gets to be a
bit unweildly on large fs's with lots of fragmentation.
This patch solves this problem by using PAGE_SIZE bitmaps for parts of the free
space cache. Initially we calculate a threshold of extent entries we can
handle, which is however many extent entries we can cram into 16k of ram. The
maximum amount of RAM that should ever be used to track 1 gigabyte of diskspace
will be 32k of RAM, which scales much better than we did before.
Once we pass the extent threshold, we start adding bitmaps and using those
instead for tracking the free space. This patch also makes it so that any free
space thats less than 4 * sectorsize we go ahead and put into a bitmap. This is
nice since we try and allocate out of the front of a block group, so if the
front of a block group is heavily fragmented and then has a huge chunk of free
space at the end, we go ahead and add the fragmented areas to bitmaps and use a
normal extent entry to track the big chunk at the back of the block group.
I've also taken the opportunity to revamp how we search for free space.
Previously we indexed free space via an offset indexed rb tree and a bytes
indexed rb tree. I've dropped the bytes indexed rb tree and use only the offset
indexed rb tree. This cuts the number of tree operations we were doing
previously down by half, and gives us a little bit of a better allocation
pattern since we will always start from a specific offset and search forward
from there, instead of searching for the size we need and try and get it as
close as possible to the offset we want.
I've given this a healthy amount of testing pre-new format stuff, as well as
post-new format stuff. I've booted up my fedora box which is installed on btrfs
with this patch and ran with it for a few days without issues. I've not seen
any performance regressions in any of my tests.
Since the last patch Yan Zheng fixed a problem where we could have overlapping
entries, so updating their offset inline would cause problems. Thanks,

Some SSDs perform best when reusing block numbers often, while
others perform much better when clustering strictly allocates
big chunks of unused space.
The default mount -o ssd will find rough groupings of blocks
where there are a bunch of free blocks that might have some
allocated blocks mixed in.
mount -o ssd_spread will make sure there are no allocated blocks
mixed in. It should perform better on lower end SSDs.

Because btrfs is copy-on-write, we end up picking new locations for
blocks very often. This makes it fairly difficult to maintain perfect
read patterns over time, but we can at least do some optimizations
for writes.
This is done today by remembering the last place we allocated and
trying to find a free space hole big enough to hold more than just one
allocation. The end result is that we tend to write sequentially to
the drive.
This happens all the time for metadata and it happens for data
when mounted -o ssd. But, the way we record it is fairly racey
and it tends to fragment the free space over time because we are trying
to allocate fairly large areas at once.
This commit gets rid of the races by adding a free space cluster object
with dedicated locking to make sure that only one process at a time
is out replacing the cluster.
The free space fragmentation is somewhat solved by allowing a cluster
to be comprised of smaller free space extents. This part definitely
adds some CPU time to the cluster allocations, but it allows the allocator
to consume the small holes left behind by cow.
