* Btrfs: Introduce global metadata reservationYan, Zheng2010-05-251-0/+3
| | | | | | | Reserve metadata space for extent tree, checksum tree and root tree Signed-off-by: Yan Zheng <zheng.yan@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
* Btrfs: Integrate metadata reservation with start_transactionYan, Zheng2010-05-251-5/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Besides simplify the code, this change makes sure all metadata reservation for normal metadata operations are released after committing transaction. Changes since V1: Add code that check if unlink and rmdir will free space. Add ENOSPC handling for clone ioctl.

* Btrfs: Introduce contexts for metadata reservationYan, Zheng2010-05-251-4/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introducing metadata reseravtion contexts has two major advantages. First, it makes metadata reseravtion more traceable. Second, it can reclaim freed space and re-add them to the itself after transaction committed. Besides add btrfs_block_rsv structure and related helper functions, This patch contains following changes: Move code that decides if freed tree block should be pinned into btrfs_free_tree_block(). Make space accounting more accurate, mainly for handling read only block groups. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
* Btrfs: Avoid superfluous tree-log writeoutYan, Zheng2009-12-161-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | We allow two log transactions at a time, but use same flag to mark dirty tree-log btree blocks. So we may flush dirty blocks belonging to newer log transaction when committing a log transaction. This patch fixes the issue by using two flags to mark dirty tree-log btree blocks.

* Btrfs: streamline tree-log btree block writeoutChris Mason2009-10-131-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Syncing the tree log is a 3 phase operation. 1) write and wait for all the tree log blocks for a given root. 2) write and wait for all the tree log blocks for the tree of tree log roots. 3) write and wait for the super blocks (barriers here) This isn't as efficient as it could be because there is no requirement to wait for the blocks from step one to hit the disk before we start writing the blocks from step two. This commit changes the sequence so that we don't start waiting until all the tree blocks from both steps one and two have been sent to disk. We do this by breaking up btrfs_write_wait_marked_extents into two functions, which is trivial because it was already broken up into two parts. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
* Btrfs: avoid tree log commit when there are no changesChris Mason2009-10-131-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | rpm has a habit of running fdatasync when the file hasn't changed. We already detect if a file hasn't been changed in the current transaction but it might have been sent to the tree-log in this transaction and not changed since the last call to fsync. In this case, we want to avoid a tree log sync, which includes a number of synchronous writes and barriers. This commit extends the existing tracking of the last transaction to change a file to also track the last sub-transaction. The end result is that rpm -ivh and -Uvh are roughly twice as fast, and on par with ext3. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
* Btrfs: be more polite in the async caching threadsChris Mason2009-07-301-0/+1

* Btrfs: Mixed back reference (FORWARD ROLLING FORMAT CHANGE)Yan Zheng2009-06-101-8/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This commit introduces a new kind of back reference for btrfs metadata. Once a filesystem has been mounted with this commit, IT WILL NO LONGER BE MOUNTABLE BY OLDER KERNELS. When a tree block in subvolume tree is cow'd, the reference counts of all extents it points to are increased by one. At transaction commit time, the old root of the subvolume is recorded in a "dead root" data structure, and the btree it points to is later walked, dropping reference counts and freeing any blocks where the reference count goes to 0. The increments done during cow and decrements done after commit cancel out, and the walk is a very expensive way to go about freeing the blocks that are no longer referenced by the new btree root. This commit reduces the transaction overhead by avoiding the need for dead root records. When a non-shared tree block is cow'd, we free the old block at once, and the new block inherits old block's references. When a tree block with reference count > 1 is cow'd, we increase the reference counts of all extents the new block points to by one, and decrease the old block's reference count by one. This dead tree avoidance code removes the need to modify the reference counts of lower level extents when a non-shared tree block is cow'd. But we still need to update back ref for all pointers in the block. This is because the location of the block is recorded in the back ref item. We can solve this by introducing a new type of back ref. The new back ref provides information about pointer's key, level and in which tree the pointer lives. This information allow us to find the pointer by searching the tree. The shortcoming of the new back ref is that it only works for pointers in tree blocks referenced by their owner trees. This is mostly a problem for snapshots, where resolving one of these fuzzy back references would be O(number_of_snapshots) and quite slow. The solution used here is to use the fuzzy back references in the common case where a given tree block is only referenced by one root, and use the full back references when multiple roots have a reference on a given block. This commit adds per subvolume red-black tree to keep trace of cached inodes. The red-black tree helps the balancing code to find cached inodes whose inode numbers within a given range. This commit improves the balancing code by introducing several data structures to keep the state of balancing. The most important one is the back ref cache. It caches how the upper level tree blocks are referenced. This greatly reduce the overhead of checking back ref. The improved balancing code scales significantly better with a large number of snapshots. This is a very large commit and was written in a number of pieces. But, they depend heavily on the disk format change and were squashed together to make sure git bisect didn't end up in a bad state wrt space balancing or the format change.

* Btrfs: reduce stalls during transaction commitChris Mason2009-03-241-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | To avoid deadlocks and reduce latencies during some critical operations, some transaction writers are allowed to jump into the running transaction and make it run a little longer, while others sit around and wait for the commit to finish. This is a bit unfair, especially when the callers that jump in do a bunch of IO that makes all the others procs on the box wait. This commit reduces the stalls this produces by pre-reading file extent pointers during btrfs_finish_ordered_io before the transaction is joined. It also tunes the drop_snapshot code to politely wait for transactions that have started writing out their delayed refs to finish. This avoids new delayed refs being flooded into the queue while we're trying to close off the transaction. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
* Btrfs: do extent allocation and reference count updates in the backgroundChris Mason2009-03-241-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The extent allocation tree maintains a reference count and full back reference information for every extent allocated in the filesystem. For subvolume and snapshot trees, every time a block goes through COW, the new copy of the block adds a reference on every block it points to. If a btree node points to 150 leaves, then the COW code needs to go and add backrefs on 150 different extents, which might be spread all over the extent allocation tree. These updates currently happen during btrfs_cow_block, and most COWs happen during btrfs_search_slot. btrfs_search_slot has locks held on both the parent and the node we are COWing, and so we really want to avoid IO during the COW if we can. This commit adds an rbtree of pending reference count updates and extent allocations. The tree is ordered by byte number of the extent and byte number of the parent for the back reference. The tree allows us to: 1) Modify back references in something close to disk order, reducing seeks 2) Significantly reduce the number of modifications made as block pointers are balanced around 3) Do all of the extent insertion and back reference modifications outside of the performance critical btrfs_search_slot code. #3 has the added benefit of greatly reducing the btrfs stack footprint. The extent allocation tree modifications are done without the deep (and somewhat recursive) call chains used in the past. These delayed back reference updates must be done before the transaction commits, and so the rbtree is tied to the transaction. Throttling is implemented to help keep the queue of backrefs at a reasonable size. Since there was a similar mechanism in place for the extent tree extents, that is removed and replaced by the delayed reference tree.

* Btrfs: fix leaking block group on balanceYan Zheng2008-12-111-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | The block group structs are referenced in many different places, and it's not safe to free while balancing. So, those block group structs were simply leaked instead. This patch replaces the block group pointer in the inode with the starting byte offset of the block group and adds reference counting to the block group struct.

* Btrfs: Allow subvolumes and snapshots anywhere in the directory treeChris Mason2008-11-181-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Before, all snapshots and subvolumes lived in a single flat directory. This was awkward and confusing because the single flat directory was only writable with the ioctls. This commit changes the ioctls to create subvols and snapshots at any point in the directory tree. This requires making separate ioctls for snapshot and subvol creation instead of a combining them into one. The subvol ioctl does: btrfsctl -S subvol_name parent_dir After the ioctl is done subvol_name lives inside parent_dir. The snapshot ioctl does: btrfsctl -s path_for_snapshot root_to_snapshot path_for_snapshot can be an absolute or relative path. btrfsctl breaks it up into directory and basename components. root_to_snapshot can be any file or directory in the FS. The snapshot is taken of the entire root where that file lives. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
* Btrfs: Record dirty pages tree-log pages in an extent_io treeChris Mason2008-09-251-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is the same way the transaction code makes sure that all the other tree blocks are safely on disk. There's an extent_io tree for each root, and any blocks allocated to the tree logs are recorded in that tree. At tree-log sync, the extent_io tree is walked to flush down the dirty pages and wait for them. The main benefit is less time spent walking the tree log and skipping clean pages, and getting sequential IO down to the drive. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
* Btrfs: Add a write ahead tree log to optimize synchronous operationsChris Mason2008-09-251-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | File syncs and directory syncs are optimized by copying their items into a special (copy-on-write) log tree. There is one log tree per subvolume and the btrfs super block points to a tree of log tree roots. After a crash, items are copied out of the log tree and back into the subvolume. See tree-log.c for all the details. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

* Btrfs: fix ioctl-initiated transactions vs wait_current_trans()Sage Weil2008-09-251-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 597:466b27332893 (btrfs_start_transaction: wait for commits in progress) breaks the transaction start/stop ioctls by making btrfs_start_transaction conditionally wait for the next transaction to start. If an application artificially is holding a transaction open, things deadlock. This workaround maintains a count of open ioctl-initiated transactions in fs_info, and avoids wait_current_trans() if any are currently open (in start_transaction() and btrfs_throttle()). The start transaction ioctl uses a new btrfs_start_ioctl_transaction() that _does_ call wait_current_trans(), effectively pushing the join/wait decision to the outer ioctl-initiated transaction. This more or less neuters btrfs_throttle() when ioctl-initiated transactions are in use, but that seems like a pretty fundamental consequence of wrapping lots of write()'s in a transaction. Btrfs has no way to tell if the application considers a given operation as part of it's transaction. Obviously, if the transaction start/stop ioctls aren't being used, there is no effect on current behavior.

* Btrfs: Update and fix mount -o nodatacowYan Zheng2008-09-251-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | To check whether a given file extent is referenced by multiple snapshots, the checker walks down the fs tree through dead root and checks all tree blocks in the path. We can easily detect whether a given tree block is directly referenced by other snapshot. We can also detect any indirect reference from other snapshot by checking reference's generation. The checker can always detect multiple references, but can't reliably detect cases of single reference. So btrfs may do file data cow even there is only one reference.

* Btrfs: Throttle operations if the reference cache gets too largeChris Mason2008-09-251-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | A large reference cache is directly related to a lot of work pending for the cleaner thread. This throttles back new operations based on the size of the reference cache so the cleaner thread will be able to keep up. Overall, this actually makes the FS faster because the cleaner thread will be more likely to find things in cache. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
* btrfs_start_transaction: wait for commits in progress to finishChris Mason2008-09-251-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | btrfs_commit_transaction has to loop waiting for any writers in the transaction to finish before it can proceed. btrfs_start_transaction should be polite and not join a transaction that is in the process of being finished off. There are a few places that can't wait, basically the ones doing IO that might be needed to finish the transaction. For them, btrfs_join_transaction is added.

* Btrfs: New data=ordered implementationChris Mason2008-09-251-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The old data=ordered code would force commit to wait until all the data extents from the transaction were fully on disk. This introduced large latencies into the commit and stalled new writers in the transaction for a long time. The new code changes the way data allocations and extents work: * When delayed allocation is filled, data extents are reserved, and the extent bit EXTENT_ORDERED is set on the entire range of the extent. A struct btrfs_ordered_extent is allocated an inserted into a per-inode rbtree to track the pending extents. * As each page is written EXTENT_ORDERED is cleared on the bytes corresponding to that page. * When all of the bytes corresponding to a single struct btrfs_ordered_extent are written, The previously reserved extent is inserted into the FS btree and into the extent allocation trees. The checksums for the file data are also updated. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
* Btrfs: Online btree defragmentation fixesChris Mason2008-09-251-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | The btree defragger wasn't making forward progress because the new key wasn't being saved by the btrfs_search_forward function.

* Add btrfs_end_transaction_throttle to force writers to wait for pending commitsChris Mason2008-09-251-0/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The existing throttle mechanism was often not sufficient to prevent new writers from coming in and making a given transaction run forever. This adds an explicit wait at the end of most operations so they will allow the current transaction to close. There is no wait inside file_write, inode updates, or cow filling, all which have different deadlock possibilities. This is a temporary measure until better asynchronous commit support is added. This code leads to stalls as it waits for data=ordered writeback, and it really needs to be fixed. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
* Btrfs: Split the extent_map code into two partsChris Mason2008-09-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is now extent_map for mapping offsets in the file to disk and extent_io for state tracking, IO submission and extent_bufers. The new extent_map code shifts from [start,end] pairs to [start,len], and pushes the locking out into the caller. This allows a few performance optimizations and is easier to use. A number of extent_map usage bugs were fixed, mostly with failing to remove extent_map entries when changing the file. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
* Btrfs: Move snapshot creation to commit timeChris Mason2008-09-251-0/+7

* Btrfs: Find and remove dead roots the first time a root is loaded.Chris Mason2007-09-111-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dead roots are trees left over after a crash, and they were either in the process of being removed or were waiting to be removed when the box crashed. Before, a search of the entire tree of root pointers was done on mount looking for dead roots. Now, the search is done the first time we load a root. This makes mount faster when there are a large number of snapshots, and it enables the block accounting code to properly update the block counts on the latest root as old versions of the root are reaped after a crash.
