Fix for a endianess BUG when using btrfs v0.13 with kernels older than 2.6.23
Problem:
Has of v0.13, btrfs-progs is using crc32c.c equivalent to the one found on
linux-2.6.23/lib/libcrc32c.c Since crc32c_le() changed in linux-2.6.23, when
running btrfs v0.13 with older kernels we have a missmatch between the versions
of crc32c_le() from btrfs-progs and libcrc32c in the kernel. This missmatch
causes a bug when using btrfs on big endian machines.
Solution:
btrfs_crc32c() macro that when compiling for kernels older than 2.6.23, does
endianess conversion to parameters and return value of crc32c().
This endianess conversion nullifies the differences in implementation
of crc32c_le().
If kernel 2.6.23 or better, it calls crc32c().

Before, metadata checksumming was done by the callers of read_tree_block,
which would set EXTENT_CSUM bits in the extent tree to show that a given
range of pages was already checksummed and didn't need to be verified
again.
But, those bits could go away via try_to_releasepage, and the end
result was bogus checksum failures on pages that never left the cache.
The new code validates checksums when the page is read. It is a little
tricky because metadata blocks can span pages and a single read may
end up going via multiple bios.

When a block is freed, it can be immediately reused if it is from
the current transaction. But, an extra check is required to make sure
the block had not been written yet. If it were reused after being written,
the transid in the block header might match the transid of the
next time the block was allocated.
The parent node records the transaction ID of the block it is pointing to,
and this is used as part of validating the block on reads. So, there
can only be one version of a block per transaction.

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.

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.

While shrinking the FS, the allocation functions need to make sure
they don't try to allocate bytes past the end of the FS.
nodatacow needed an extra check to force cows when the existing extents are
past the end of the FS.

This forces file data extents down the disk along with the metadata that
references them. The current implementation is fairly simple, and just
writes out all of the dirty pages in an inode before the commit.

The shrinking code used btrfs_next_leaf to find the next item, but
this does not cow the blocks it touches. This fix calls search_slot after

The patch fixes the overlapping extent issue in shrink_extent_tree.
It checks whether there is an overlapping extent by using
find_previous_extent. If there is an overlapping extent, it setups
key.objectid and cur_byte properly.

A number of workloads do not require copy on write data or checksumming.
mount -o nodatasum to disable checksums and -o nodatacow to disable
both copy on write and checksumming.
In nodatacow mode, copy on write is still performed when a given extent
is under snapshot.

This patch adds a new parameter 'full_scan' to 'find_search_start',
thereby 'find_search_start' can know whether 'find_free_extent' is in
full scan phrase. I feel that 'find_search_start' should skip calling
'btrfs_find_block_group' when 'find_free_extent' is in full scan
phrase. In my test on a 2GB volume, Oops occurs when space usage is
about 76%. After apply the patch, Oops occurs when space usage is
near 100%.

This allows the tree walking code to defrag only the newly allocated

This adds two types of btree defrag, a run time form that tries to
defrag recently allocated blocks in the btree when they are still in ram,
and an ioctl that forces defrag of all btree blocks.
File data blocks are not defragged yet, but this can make a huge difference
in sequential btree reads.
