While under random IO, a block group's free space cache eventually reaches
a state where it has a mix of extent entries and bitmap entries representing
free space regions.
As later free space regions are returned to the cache, some of them are merged
with existing extent entries if they are contiguous with them. But others are
not merged, because despite the existence of adjacent free space regions in
the cache, the merging doesn't happen because the existing free space regions
are represented in bitmap extents. Even when new free space regions are merged
with existing extent entries (enlarging the free space range they represent),
we create chances of having after an enlarged region that is contiguous with
some other region represented in a bitmap entry.
Both clustered and non-clustered space allocation work by iterating over our
extent and bitmap entries and skipping any that represents a region smaller
then the allocation request (and giving preference to extent entries before
bitmap entries). By having a contiguous free space region that is represented
by 2 (or more) entries (mix of extent and bitmap entries), we end up not
satisfying an allocation request with a size larger than the size of any of
the entries but no larger than the sum of their sizes. Making the caller assume
we're under a ENOSPC condition or force it to allocate multiple smaller space
regions (as we do for file data writes), which adds extra overhead and more
chances of causing fragmentation due to the smaller regions being all spread
apart from each other (more likely when under concurrency).
For example, if we have the following in the cache:
* extent entry representing free space range: [128Mb - 256Kb, 128Mb[
* bitmap entry covering the range [128Mb, 256Mb[, but only with the bits
representing the range [128Mb, 128Mb + 768Kb[ set - that is, only that
space in this 128Mb area is marked as free
An allocation request for 1Mb, starting at offset not greater than 128Mb - 256Kb,
would fail before, despite the existence of such contiguous free space area in the
cache. The caller could only allocate up to 768Kb of space at once and later another
256Kb (or vice-versa). In between each smaller allocation request, another task
working on a different file/inode might come in and take that space, preventing the
former task of getting a contiguous 1Mb region of free space.
Therefore this change implements the ability to move free space from bitmap
entries into existing and new free space regions represented with extent
entries. This is done when a space region is added to the cache.
A test was added to the sanity tests that explains in detail the issue too.

When we mounted the filesystem after the crash, we got the following
message:
BTRFS error (device xxx): block group xxxx has wrong amount of free space
BTRFS error (device xxx): failed to load free space cache for block group xxx
It is because we didn't update the metadata of the allocated space (in extent
tree) until the file data was written into the disk. During this time, there was
no information about the allocated spaces in either the extent tree nor the
free space cache. when we wrote out the free space cache at this time (commit
transaction), those spaces were lost. In fact, only the free space that is
used to store the file data had this problem, the others didn't because
the metadata of them is updated in the same transaction context.
There are many methods which can fix the above problem
- track the allocated space, and write it out when we write out the free
space cache
- account the size of the allocated space that is used to store the file
data, if the size is not zero, don't write out the free space cache.
The first one is complex and may make the performance drop down.
This patch chose the second method, we use a per-block-group variant to
account the size of that allocated space. Besides that, we also introduce
a per-block-group read-write semaphore to avoid the race between
the allocation and the free space cache write out.

By the current code, if the requested size is very large, and all the extents

the requested size in half and search the cache again and again until it gets
down to the size the allocator can return. In fact, we can know the max extent
size in the cache after the first search, so we needn't cut the size in half
repeatedly, and just use the max extent size directly. This way can save
lots of cpu time and make the performance grow up when there are only fragments
in the free space cache.
According to my test, if there are only 4KB free space extents in the fs,
and the total size of those extents are 256MB, we can reduce the execute
time of the following test from 5.4s to 1.4s.

With more than one btrfs volume mounted, it can be very difficult to find
out which volume is hitting an error. btrfs_error() will print this, but
it is currently rigged as more of a fatal error handler, while many of
the printk()s are currently for debugging and yet-unhandled cases.
This patch just changes the functions where the device information is
already available. Some cases remain where the root or fs_info is not
passed to the function emitting the error.
This may introduce some confusion with volumes backed by multiple devices
emitting errors referring to the primary device in the set instead of the
one on which the error occurred.
Use btrfs_printk(fs_info, format, ...) rather than writing the device
string every time, and introduce macro wrappers ala XFS for brevity.
Since the function already cannot be used for continuations, print a
newline as part of the btrfs_printk() message rather than at each caller.

Dave pointed out that xfstests 273 will tell you that it failed to load the
space cache for a block group when it remounts. This is because we run out
of space writing out the block group cache. This is ok and is working as it
should, but let's try to be a bit nicer. This happens because the block
group was 100mb, but bitmap entries cover 128mb, so we were only getting
extent entries for this block group, which ended up being too many to fit in
the free space cache. So relax the bitmap size requirements to block groups
that are at least half the size a bitmap will cover or larger, that way we
can still keep the amount of space used in the free space cache low enough
to be able to write it out. With this patch I no longer fail to write out
the free space cache. Thanks,

This builds on David Woodhouse's original Btrfs raid5/6 implementation.
The code has changed quite a bit, blame Chris Mason for any bugs.
Read/modify/write is done after the higher levels of the filesystem have
prepared a given bio. This means the higher layers are not responsible
for building full stripes, and they don't need to query for the topology
of the extents that may get allocated during delayed allocation runs.
It also means different files can easily share the same stripe.
But, it does expose us to incorrect parity if we crash or lose power
while doing a read/modify/write cycle. This will be addressed in a
later commit.
Scrub is unable to repair crc errors on raid5/6 chunks.
Discard does not work on raid5/6 (yet)
The stripe size is fixed at 64KiB per disk. This will be tunable

return -EAGAIN and then search for the next piece we want to remove, which
happens to be an entire extent entry, so we just free the sucker and return.
The problem is ret is still set to -EAGAIN so we trip the BUG_ON(). The

When we write out the free space cache we will write out everything that is
in our in memory tree, and then we will just walk the pinned extents tree
and write anything we see there. The problem with this is that during
normal operations the pinned extents will be merged back into the free space
tree normally, and then we can allocate space from the merged areas and
commit them to the tree log. If we crash and replay the tree log we will
crash again because the tree log will try to free up space from what looks
like 2 seperate but contiguous entries, since one entry is from the original
free space cache and the other was a pinned extent that was merged back. To
fix this we just need to walk the free space tree after we load it and merge
contiguous entries back together. This will keep the tree log stuff from
breaking and it will make the allocator behave more nicely. Thanks,

We noticed that the ordered extent completion doesn't really rely on having
a page and that it could be done independantly of ending the writeback on a
page. This patch makes us not do the threaded endio stuff for normal
buffered writes and direct writes so we can end page writeback as soon as
possible (in irq context) and only start threads to do the ordered work when
it is actually done. Compression needs to be reworked some to take
advantage of this as well, but atm it has to do a find_get_page in its endio
handler so it must be done in its own thread. This makes direct writes
quite a bit faster. Thanks,
