56bec294de Btrfs: do extent allocation and reference count updates in the background
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.

Yan Zheng <yan.zheng@oracle.com> helped review and fixup this code.

b4ce94de9b Btrfs: Change btree locking to use explicit blocking points
Most of the btrfs metadata operations can be protected by a spinlock,
but some operations still need to schedule.

So far, btrfs has been using a mutex along with a trylock loop,
most of the time it is able to avoid going for the full mutex, so
the trylock loop is a big performance gain.

This commit is step one for getting rid of the blocking locks entirely.
btrfs_tree_lock takes a spinlock, and the code explicitly switches
to a blocking lock when it starts an operation that can schedule.

We'll be able get rid of the blocking locks in smaller pieces over time.
Tracing allows us to find the most common cause of blocking, so we
can start with the hot spots first.

The basic idea is:

btrfs_tree_lock() returns with the spin lock held

btrfs_set_lock_blocking() sets the EXTENT_BUFFER_BLOCKING bit in
the extent buffer flags, and then drops the spin lock.  The buffer is
still considered locked by all of the btrfs code.

If btrfs_tree_lock gets the spinlock but finds the blocking bit set, it drops
the spin lock and waits on a wait queue for the blocking bit to go away.

Much of the code that needs to set the blocking bit finishes without actually
blocking a good percentage of the time.  So, an adaptive spin is still
used against the blocking bit to avoid very high context switch rates.

btrfs_clear_lock_blocking() clears the blocking bit and returns
with the spinlock held again.

btrfs_tree_unlock() can be called on either blocking or spinning locks,
it does the right thing based on the blocking bit.

ctree.c has a helper function to set/clear all the locked buffers in a
path as blocking.

2517920135 Btrfs: nuke fs wide allocation mutex V2
This patch removes the giant fs_info->alloc_mutex and replaces it with a bunch
of little locks.

There is now a pinned_mutex, which is used when messing with the pinned_extents
extent io tree, and the extent_ins_mutex which is used with the pending_del and
extent_ins extent io trees.

The locking for the extent tree stuff was inspired by a patch that Yan Zheng
wrote to fix a race condition, I cleaned it up some and changed the locking
around a little bit, but the idea remains the same.  Basically instead of
holding the extent_ins_mutex throughout the processing of an extent on the
extent_ins or pending_del trees, we just hold it while we're searching and when
we clear the bits on those trees, and lock the extent for the duration of the
operations on the extent.

Also to keep from getting hung up waiting to lock an extent, I've added a
try_lock_extent so if we cannot lock the extent, move on to the next one in the
tree and we'll come back to that one.  I have tested this heavily and it does
not appear to break anything.  This has to be applied on top of my
find_free_extent redo patch.

I tested this patch on top of Yan's space reblancing code and it worked fine.
The only thing that has changed since the last version is I pulled out all my
debugging stuff, apparently I forgot to run guilt refresh before I sent the
last patch out.  Thank you,

d352ac6814 Btrfs: add and improve comments
This improves the comments at the top of many functions.  It didn't
dive into the guts of functions because I was trying to
avoid merging problems with the new allocator and back reference work.

extent-tree.c and volumes.c were both skipped, and there is definitely
more work todo in cleaning and commenting the code.

e02119d5a7 Btrfs: Add a write ahead tree log to optimize synchronous operations
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.

The btree defragger wasn't making forward progress because the new key wasn't

This also disables the automatic btree defrag, it wasn't scaling well to

925baeddc5 Btrfs: Start btree concurrency work.
The allocation trees and the chunk trees are serialized via their own
dedicated mutexes.  This means allocation location is still not very
fine grained.

The main FS btree is protected by locks on each block in the btree.  Locks
are taken top / down, and as processing finishes on a given level of the
tree, the lock is released after locking the lower level.

The end result of a search is now a path where only the lowest level
is locked.  Releasing or freeing the path drops any locks held.

1259ab75c6 Btrfs: Handle write errors on raid1 and raid10
When duplicate copies exist, writes are allowed to fail to one of those
copies.  This changeset includes a few changes that allow the FS to
continue even when some IOs fail.

It also adds verification of the parent generation number for btree blocks.
This generation is stored in the pointer to a block, and it ensures
that missed writes to are detected.

0999df54f8 Btrfs: Verify checksums on tree blocks found without read_tree_block
Checksums were only verified by btrfs_read_tree_block, which meant the
functions to probe the page cache for blocks were not validating checksums.
Normally this is fine because the buffers will only be in cache if they
have already been validated.

But, there is a window while the buffer is being read from disk where
it could be up to date in the cache but not yet verified.  This patch
makes sure all buffers go through checksum verification before they
are used.

This is safer, and it prevents modification of buffers before they go
through the csum code.
