79787eaab4 btrfs: replace many BUG_ONs with proper error handling
btrfs currently handles most errors with BUG_ON. This patch is a work-in-
 progress but aims to handle most errors other than internal logic
 errors and ENOMEM more gracefully.

 This iteration prevents most crashes but can run into lockups with
 the page lock on occasion when the timing "works out."

2c536799f1 btrfs: btrfs_drop_snapshot should return int
Commit cb1b69f4 (Btrfs: forced readonly when btrfs_drop_snapshot() fails)
made btrfs_drop_snapshot return void because there were no callers checking
the return value. That is the wrong order to handle error propogation since
the caller will have no idea that an error has occured and continue on
as if nothing went wrong.

203bf287cb Btrfs: run chunk allocations while we do delayed refs
Btrfs tries to batch extent allocation tree changes to improve performance
and reduce metadata trashing.  But it doesn't allocate new metadata chunks
while it is doing allocations for the extent allocation tree.

This commit changes the delayed refence code to do chunk allocations if we're
getting low on room.  It prevents crashes and improves performance.

a168650c08 Btrfs: add waitqueue instead of doing busy waiting for more delayed refs
Now that we may be holding back delayed refs for a limited period, we
might end up having no runnable delayed refs. Without this commit, we'd
do busy waiting in that thread until another (runnable) ref arives.
Instead, we're detecting this situation and use a waitqueue, such that
we only try to run more refs after
	a) another runnable ref was added  or
	b) delayed refs are no longer held back

00f04b8879 Btrfs: add sequence numbers to delayed refs
Sequence numbers are needed to reconstruct the backrefs of a given extent to
a certain point in time. The total set of backrefs consist of the set of
backrefs recorded on disk plus the enqueued delayed refs for it that existed
at that moment.

This patch also adds a list that records all delayed refs which are
currently in the process of being added.

When walking all refs of an extent in btrfs_find_all_roots(), we freeze the
current state of delayed refs, honor anythinh up to this point and prevent
processing newer delayed refs to assert consistency.

66d7e7f09f Btrfs: mark delayed refs as for cow
Add a for_cow parameter to add_delayed_*_ref and pass the appropriate value
from every call site. The for_cow parameter will later on be used to
determine if a ref will change anything with respect to qgroups.

Delayed refs coming from relocation are always counted as for_cow, as they
don't change subvol quota.

Also pass in the fs_info for later use.

btrfs_find_all_roots() will use this as an optimization, as changes that are
for_cow will not change anything with respect to which root points to a
certain leaf. Thus, we don't need to add the current sequence number to
those delayed refs.

f1ebcc74d5 Btrfs: fix tree corruption after multi-thread snapshots and inode_cache flush
The btrfs snapshotting code requires that once a root has been
snapshotted, we don't change it during a commit.

But there are two cases to lead to tree corruptions:

1) multi-thread snapshots can commit serveral snapshots in a transaction,
   and this may change the src root when processing the following pending
   snapshots, which lead to the former snapshots corruptions;

2) the free inode cache was changing the roots when it root the cache,
   which lead to corruptions.

This fixes things by making sure we force COW the block after we create a
snapshot during commiting a transaction, then any changes to the roots
will result in COW, and we get all the fs roots and snapshot roots to be
consistent.

bf0da8c183 Btrfs: ClearPageError during writepage and clean_tree_block
Failure testing was tripping up over stale PageError bits in
metadata pages.  If we have an io error on a block, and later on
end up reusing it, nobody ever clears PageError on those pages.

During commit, we'll find PageError and think we had trouble writing
the block, which will lead to aborts and other problems.

This changes clean_tree_block and the btrfs writepage code to
clear the PageError bit.  In both cases we're either completely
done with the page or the page has good stuff and the error bit
is no longer valid.

36ba022ac0 Btrfs: seperate out btrfs_block_rsv_check out into 2 different functions
Currently btrfs_block_rsv_check does 2 things, it will either refill a block
reserve like in the truncate or refill case, or it will check to see if there is
enough space in the global reserve and possibly refill it.  However because of
overcommit we could be well overcommitting ourselves just to try and refill the
global reserve, when really we should just be committing the transaction.  So
breack this out into btrfs_block_rsv_refill and btrfs_block_rsv_check.  Refill
will try to reserve more metadata if it can and btrfs_block_rsv_check will not,
it will only tell you if the factor of the total space is still reserved.

b24e03db0d Btrfs: release trans metadata bytes before flushing delayed refs
We started setting trans->block_rsv = NULL to allow the delayed refs flushing
stuff to use the right block_rsv and then just made
btrfs_trans_release_metadata() unconditionally use the trans block rsv.  The
problem with this is we need to reserve some space in the transaction and then
migrate it to the global block rsv, so we need to be able to free that out
properly.  So instead just move btrfs_trans_release_metadata() before the
delayed ref flushing and use trans->block_rsv for the freeing.  Thanks,

73bc187680 Btrfs: introduce mount option no_space_cache
Some users have requested this and I've found I needed a way to disable cache
loading without actually clearing the cache, so introduce the no_space_cache
option.  Before we check the super blocks cache generation field and if it was
populated we always turned space caching on.  Now we check this and set the
space cache option on, and then parse the mount options so that if we want it
off it get's turned off.  Then we check the mount option all the places we do
the caching work instead of checking the super's cache generation.  This makes
things more consistent and lets us turn space caching off.  Thanks,

1728366efa Btrfs: stop using write_one_page
While looking for a performance regression a user was complaining about, I
noticed that we had a regression with the varmail test of filebench.  This was
introduced by

0d10ee2e6d

which keeps us from calling writepages in writepage.  This is a correct change,
however it happens to help the varmail test because we write out in larger
chunks.  This is largly to do with how we write out dirty pages for each
transaction.  If you run filebench with

load varmail
set $dir=/mnt/btrfs-test
run 60

prior to this patch you would get ~1420 ops/second, but with the patch you get
~1200 ops/second.  This is a 16% decrease.  So since we know the range of dirty
pages we want to write out, don't write out in one page chunks, write out in
ranges.  So to do this we call filemap_fdatawrite_range() on the range of bytes.
Then we convert the DIRTY extents to NEED_WAIT extents.  When we then call
btrfs_wait_marked_extents() we only have to filemap_fdatawait_range() on that
range and clear the NEED_WAIT extents.  This doesn't get us back to our original
speeds, but I've been seeing ~1380 ops/second, which is a <5% regression as
opposed to a >15% regression.  That is acceptable given that the original commit
greatly reduces our latency to begin with.  Thanks,

9c8d86db9a Btrfs: make sure to unset trans->block_rsv before running delayed refs
Checksums are charged in 2 different ways.  The first case is when we're writing
to the disk, we account for the new checksums with the delalloc block rsv.  In
order for this to work we check if we're allocating a block for the csum root
and if trans->block_rsv == the delalloc block rsv.  But when we're deleting the
csums because of cow, this is charged to the global block rsv, and is done when
we run the delayed refs.  So we need to make sure that trans->block_rsv == NULL
when running the delayed refs.  So set it to NULL and reset it in
should_end_transaction, and set it to NULL in commit_transaction.  This got rid
of the ridiculous amount of warnings I was seeing when trying to do a balance.

482e6dc526 Btrfs: allow callers to specify if flushing can occur for btrfs_block_rsv_check
If you run xfstest 224 it you will get lots of messages about not being able to
delete inodes and that they will be cleaned up next mount.  This is because
btrfs_block_rsv_check was not calling reserve_metadata_bytes with the ability to
flush, so if there was not enough space, it simply failed.  But in truncate and
evict case we could easily flush space to try and get enough space to do our
work, so make btrfs_block_rsv_check take a flush argument to pass down to
reserve_metadata_bytes.  Now xfstests 224 runs fine without all those
complaints.  Thanks,

e999376f09 Btrfs: avoid delayed metadata items during commits
Snapshot creation has two phases.  One is the initial snapshot setup,
and the second is done during commit, while nobody is allowed to modify
the root we are snapshotting.

The delayed metadata insertion code can break that rule, it does a
delayed inode update on the inode of the parent of the snapshot,
and delayed directory item insertion.

This makes sure to run the pending delayed operations before we
record the snapshot root, which avoids corruptions.

The recent commit to get rid of our trans_mutex introduced
some races with block group relocation.  The problem is that relocation
needs to do some record keeping about each root, and it was relying

This fix adds a mutex just for the relocation code and makes sure
it doesn't have a big impact on normal operations.  The race is

step back and wait for the relocation code to finish accounting

ed0ca14021 Btrfs: set no_trans_join after trying to expand the transaction
We can lockup if we try to allow new writers join the transaction and we have
flushoncommit set or have a pending snapshot.  This is because we set
no_trans_join and then loop around and try to wait for ordered extents again.
The problem is the ordered endio stuff needs to join the transaction, which it
can't do because no_trans_join is set.  So instead wait until after this loop to
set no_trans_join and then make sure to wait for num_writers == 1 in case
anybody got started in between us exiting the loop and setting no_trans_join.
This could easily be reproduced by mounting -o flushoncommit and running xfstest
13.  It cannot be reproduced with this patch.  Thanks,

Originally this was going to be used as a way to give hints to the allocator,
but frankly we can get much better hints elsewhere and it's not even used at all

a4abeea41a Btrfs: kill trans_mutex
We use trans_mutex for lots of things, here's a basic list

1) To serialize trans_handles joining the currently running transaction
2) To make sure that no new trans handles are started while we are committing
3) To protect the dead_roots list and the transaction lists

Really the serializing trans_handles joining is not too hard, and can really get
bogged down in acquiring a reference to the transaction.  So replace the
trans_mutex with a trans_lock spinlock and use it to do the following

1) Protect fs_info->running_transaction.  All trans handles have to do is check
this, and then take a reference of the transaction and keep on going.
2) Protect the fs_info->trans_list.  This doesn't get used too much, basically
it just holds the current transactions, which will usually just be the currently
committing transaction and the currently running transaction at most.
3) Protect the dead roots list.  This is only ever processed by splicing the
list so this is relatively simple.
4) Protect the fs_info->reloc_ctl stuff.  This is very lightweight and was using
the trans_mutex before, so this is a pretty straightforward change.
5) Protect fs_info->no_trans_join.  Because we don't hold the trans_lock over
the entirety of the commit we need to have a way to block new people from
creating a new transaction while we're doing our work.  So we set no_trans_join
and in join_transaction we test to see if that is set, and if it is we do a
wait_on_commit.
6) Make the transaction use count atomic so we don't need to take locks to
modify it when we're dropping references.
7) Add a commit_lock to the transaction to make sure multiple people trying to
commit the same transaction don't race and commit at the same time.
8) Make open_ioctl_trans an atomic so we don't have to take any locks for ioctl
trans.

I have tested this with xfstests, but obviously it is a pretty hairy change so
lots of testing is greatly appreciated.  Thanks,

2a1eb4614d Btrfs: if we've already started a trans handle, use that one
We currently track trans handles in current->journal_info, but we don't actually
use it.  This patch fixes it.  This will cover the case where we have multiple
people starting transactions down the call chain.  This keeps us from having to
allocate a new handle and all of that, we just increase the use count of the
current handle, save the old block_rsv, and return.  I tested this with xfstests
and it worked out fine.  Thanks,

7a7eaa40a3 Btrfs: take away the num_items argument from btrfs_join_transaction
I keep forgetting that btrfs_join_transaction() just ignores the num_items
argument, which leads me to sending pointless patches and looking stupid :).  So
just kill the num_items argument from btrfs_join_transaction and
btrfs_start_ioctl_transaction, since neither of them use it.  Thanks,

16cdcec736 btrfs: implement delayed inode items operation
Changelog V5 -> V6:
- Fix oom when the memory load is high, by storing the delayed nodes into the
  root's radix tree, and letting btrfs inodes go.

Changelog V4 -> V5:
- Fix the race on adding the delayed node to the inode, which is spotted by
  Chris Mason.
- Merge Chris Mason's incremental patch into this patch.
- Fix deadlock between readdir() and memory fault, which is reported by
  Itaru Kitayama.

Changelog V3 -> V4:
- Fix nested lock, which is reported by Itaru Kitayama, by updating space cache
  inode in time.

Changelog V2 -> V3:
- Fix the race between the delayed worker and the task which does delayed items
  balance, which is reported by Tsutomu Itoh.
- Modify the patch address David Sterba's comment.
- Fix the bug of the cpu recursion spinlock, reported by Chris Mason

Changelog V1 -> V2:
- break up the global rb-tree, use a list to manage the delayed nodes,
  which is created for every directory and file, and used to manage the
  delayed directory name index items and the delayed inode item.
- introduce a worker to deal with the delayed nodes.

Compare with Ext3/4, the performance of file creation and deletion on btrfs
is very poor. the reason is that btrfs must do a lot of b+ tree insertions,
such as inode item, directory name item, directory name index and so on.

If we can do some delayed b+ tree insertion or deletion, we can improve the
performance, so we made this patch which implemented delayed directory name
index insertion/deletion and delayed inode update.

Implementation:
- introduce a delayed root object into the filesystem, that use two lists to
  manage the delayed nodes which are created for every file/directory.
  One is used to manage all the delayed nodes that have delayed items. And the
  other is used to manage the delayed nodes which is waiting to be dealt with
  by the work thread.
- Every delayed node has two rb-tree, one is used to manage the directory name
  index which is going to be inserted into b+ tree, and the other is used to
  manage the directory name index which is going to be deleted from b+ tree.
- introduce a worker to deal with the delayed operation. This worker is used
  to deal with the works of the delayed directory name index items insertion
  and deletion and the delayed inode update.
  When the delayed items is beyond the lower limit, we create works for some
  delayed nodes and insert them into the work queue of the worker, and then
  go back.
  When the delayed items is beyond the upper bound, we create works for all
  the delayed nodes that haven't been dealt with, and insert them into the work
  queue of the worker, and then wait for that the untreated items is below some
  threshold value.
- When we want to insert a directory name index into b+ tree, we just add the
  information into the delayed inserting rb-tree.
  And then we check the number of the delayed items and do delayed items
  balance. (The balance policy is above.)
- When we want to delete a directory name index from the b+ tree, we search it
  in the inserting rb-tree at first. If we look it up, just drop it. If not,
  add the key of it into the delayed deleting rb-tree.
  Similar to the delayed inserting rb-tree, we also check the number of the
  delayed items and do delayed items balance.
  (The same to inserting manipulation)
- When we want to update the metadata of some inode, we cached the data of the
  inode into the delayed node. the worker will flush it into the b+ tree after
  dealing with the delayed insertion and deletion.
- We will move the delayed node to the tail of the list after we access the
  delayed node, By this way, we can cache more delayed items and merge more
  inode updates.
- If we want to commit transaction, we will deal with all the delayed node.
- the delayed node will be freed when we free the btrfs inode.
- Before we log the inode items, we commit all the directory name index items
  and the delayed inode update.

I did a quick test by the benchmark tool[1] and found we can improve the
performance of file creation by ~15%, and file deletion by ~20%.
