We convert btrfs_file_aio_write() to use new freeze check. We also add proper

the transaction mechanism to avoid starting transactions on frozen filesystem.
At minimum this is necessary to stop iput() of unlinked file to change frozen
filesystem during truncation.
Checks in cleaner_kthread() and transaction_kthread() can be safely removed
since btrfs_freeze() will lock the mutexes and thus block the threads (and they
shouldn't have anything to do anyway).

Pull large btrfs update from Chris Mason:
"This pull request is very large, and the two main features in here
have been under testing/devel for quite a while.
We have subvolume quotas from the strato developers. This enables
full tracking of how many blocks are allocated to each subvolume (and
all snapshots) and you can set limits on a per-subvolume basis. You
can also create quota groups and toss multiple subvolumes into a big
group. It's everything you need to be a web hosting company and give
each user their own subvolume.
The userland side of the quotas is being refreshed, they'll send out
details on where to grab it soon.
Next is the kernel side of btrfs send/receive from Alexander Block.
This leverages the same infrastructure as the quota code to figure out
relationships between blocks and their owners. It can then compute
the difference between two snapshots and sends the diffs in a neutral
format into userland.
The basic model:
create a snapshot
send that snapshot as the initial backup
make changes
create a second snapshot
send the incremental as a backup
delete the first snapshot
(use the second snapshot for the next incremental)
The receive portion is all in userland, and in the 'next' branch of my
btrfs-progs repo.
There's still some work to do in terms of optimizing the send side
from kernel to userland. The really important part is figuring out
how two snapshots are different, and this is where we are
concentrating right now. The initial send of a dataset is a little
slower than tar, but the incremental sends are dramatically faster
than what rsync can do.
On top of all of that, we have a nice queue of fixes, cleanups and
optimizations."
Fix up trivial modify/del conflict in fs/btrfs/ioctl.c
Also fix up semantic conflict in fs/btrfs/send.c: the interface to
dentry_open() changed in commit 765927b2d5 ("switch dentry_open() to
struct path, make it grab references itself"), and since it now grabs
whatever references it needs, we should no longer do the mntget() on the
mnt (and we need to dput() the dentry reference we took).

This patch introduces uuids for subvolumes. Each
subvolume has it's own uuid. In case it was snapshotted,
it also contains parent_uuid. In case it was received,
it also contains received_uuid.
It also introduces subvolume ctime/otime/stime/rtime. The
first two are comparable to the times found in inodes. otime
is the origin/creation time and ctime is the change time.
stime/rtime are only valid on received subvolumes.
stime is the time of the subvolume when it was
sent. rtime is the time of the subvolume when it was
received.
Additionally to the times, we have a transid for each
time. They are updated at the same place as the times.
btrfs receive uses stransid and rtransid to find out
if a received subvolume changed in the meantime.
If an older kernel mounts a filesystem with the
extented fields, all fields become invalid. The next
mount with a new kernel will detect this and reset the
fields.

While testing with my buffer read fio jobs[1], I find that btrfs does not
perform well enough.
Here is a scenario in fio jobs:
We have 4 threads, "t1 t2 t3 t4", starting to buffer read a same file,
and all of them will race on add_to_page_cache_lru(), and if one thread
successfully puts its page into the page cache, it takes the responsibility
to read the page's data.
And what's more, reading a page needs a period of time to finish, in which
other threads can slide in and process rest pages:
t1 t2 t3 t4
add Page1
read Page1 add Page2
| read Page2 add Page3
| | read Page3 add Page4
| | | read Page4
-----|------------|-----------|-----------|--------
v v v v
bio bio bio bio
Now we have four bios, each of which holds only one page since we need to
maintain consecutive pages in bio. Thus, we can end up with far more bios
than we need.
Here we're going to
a) delay the real read-page section and
b) try to put more pages into page cache.
With that said, we can make each bio hold more pages and reduce the number
of bios we need.
Here is some numbers taken from fio results:

For backref walking, we've introduce delayed ref's sequence. However,
it changes our preallocation behavior.
The story is that when we preallocate an extent and then mark it written
piece by piece, the ideal case should be that we don't need to COW the
extent, which is why we use 'preallocate'.
But we may not make use of preallocation, since when we check for cross refs on
the extent, we may have two ref entries which have the same content except
the sequence value, and we recognize them as cross refs and do COW to allocate
another extent.
So we end up with several pieces of space instead of an whole extent.

There is a small window where an eb can have no IO bits set on it, which
could potentially result in extent_buffer_under_io() returning false when we
want it to return true, which could result in not fun things happening. So
in order to protect this case we need to hold the refs_lock when we make
this transition to make sure we get reliable results out of
extent_buffer_udner_io(). Thanks,

This sounds sort of impossible but it is the only thing I can think of and
at the very least it is theoretically possible so here it goes.
If we are in try_release_extent_buffer we will check that the ref count on
the extent buffer is 1 and not under IO, and then go down and clear the tree
ref. If between this check and clearing the tree ref somebody else comes in
and grabs a ref on the eb and the marks it dirty before
try_release_extent_buffer() does it's tree ref clear we can end up with a
dirty eb that will be freed while it is still dirty which will result in a
panic. Thanks,
Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <jbacik@fusionio.com>
I noticed while looking at an extent_buffer race that we will
unconditionally return 1 if we get down to release_extent_buffer after
clearing the tree ref. However we can easily race in here and get a ref on
the eb and not actually free the eb. So make release_extent_buffer return 1
if it free'd the eb and 0 if not so we can be a little kinder to the vm.

Here is the whole story:
1)
A free space cache consists of two parts:
o free space cache inode, which is special becase it's stored in root tree.
o free space info, which is stored as the above inode's file data.
But we only build up another new inode and does not flush its free space info
onto disk when we _clear and setup_ free space cache, and this ends up with
that the block group cache's cache_state remains DC_SETUP instead of DC_WRITTEN.
And holding DC_SETUP means that we will not truncate this free space cache inode,
which means the disk offset of its file extent will remain _unchanged_ at least
until next transaction finishes committing itself.
2)
We can set a block group readonly when we relocate the block group.
However,
if the readonly block group covers the disk offset where our free space cache
inode is going to write, it will force the free space cache inode into
cow_file_range() and it'll end up hitting a BUG_ON.
3)
Due to the above analysis, we fix this bug by adding the missing dirty flag.
4)
However, it's not over, there is still another case, nospace_cache.
With nospace_cache, we do not want to set dirty flag, instead we just truncate
free space cache inode and bail out with setting cache state DC_WRITTEN.
We can benifit from it since it saves us another 'pre-allocation' part which
usually costs a lot.

many reworkings of how we track enospc. What happens now as we fill up the

of space of metadata, this was from when everybody flushed at the same time.
Now we only have people flushing one at a time. So instead of trying to
reclaim a huge amount of space, just try to flush a decent chunk of space,
and stop looping as soon as we have enough free space to satisfy our
reservation. This makes xfstests 224 go much faster. Thanks,

There is weird logic I had to put in place to make sure that when we were
adding csums that we'd used the delalloc block rsv instead of the global
block rsv. Part of this meant that we had to free up our transaction
reservation before we ran the delayed refs since csum deletion happens
during the delayed ref work. The problem with this is that when we release
a reservation we will add it to the global reserve if it is not full in
order to keep us going along longer before we have to force a transaction
commit. By releasing our reservation before we run delayed refs we don't
get the opportunity to drain down the global reserve for the work we did, so
we won't refill it as often. This isn't a problem per-se, it just results
in us possibly committing transactions more and more often, and in rare
cases could cause those WARN_ON()'s to pop in use_block_rsv because we ran
out of space in our block rsv.
This also helps us by holding onto space while the delayed refs run so we
don't end up with as many people trying to do things at the same time, which
again will help us not force commits or hit the use_block_rsv warnings.
