If a transaction commit fails we don't abort it so we don't set an error on
the file system. This patch fixes that by actually calling the abort stuff
and then adding a check for a fs error in the transaction start stuff to
make sure it is caught properly. Thanks,

I was getting lots of hung tasks and a NULL pointer dereference because we
are not cleaning up the transaction properly when it aborts. First we need
to reset the running_transaction to NULL so we don't get a bad dereference
for any start_transaction callers after this. Also we cannot rely on
waitqueue_active() since it's just a list_empty(), so just call wake_up()
directly since that will do the barrier for us and such. Thanks,

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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,

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,

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,

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.

The only thing that we need to have a trans handle for is in

The alloc warnings everybody has been seeing is because we have been reserving
space for csums, but we weren't actually using that space. So make
get_block_rsv() return the trans->block_rsv if we're modifying the csum root.
Also set the trans->block_rsv to NULL so that if we modify the csum root when
running delayed ref's that comes out of the global reserve like it's supposed
to. With this patch I'm not seeing those alloc warnings anymore. Thanks,

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,

This patch kills off the calculation for the amount of space needed for the
orphan operations during a snapshot. The thing is we only do snapshots on

We have to do weird things when handling enospc in the transaction joining code.
Because we've already joined the transaction we cannot commit the transaction
within the reservation code since it will deadlock, so we have to return EAGAIN
and then make sure we don't retry too many times. Instead of doing this, just
do the reservation the normal way before we join the transaction, that way we

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
on the transaction mutex to coordinate things in subtle ways.
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
really fixed in btrfs_record_root_in_trans, which is where we
step back and wait for the relocation code to finish accounting
setup.

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
for anything usefull. In addition to be completely useless, when we initialize
an inode we try and find a freeish block group to set as the inodes block group,
and with a completely full 40gb fs this takes _forever_, so I imagine with say
1tb fs this is just unbearable. So just axe the thing altoghether, we don't
