Josef Bacik 32c00aff71 Btrfs: release delalloc reservations on extent item insertion
This patch fixes an issue with the delalloc metadata space reservation
code.  The problem is we used to free the reservation as soon as we
allocated the delalloc region.  The problem with this is if we are not
inserting an inline extent, we don't actually insert the extent item until
after the ordered extent is written out.  This patch does 3 things,

1) It moves the reservation clearing stuff into the ordered code, so when
we remove the ordered extent we remove the reservation.
2) It adds a EXTENT_DO_ACCOUNTING flag that gets passed when we clear
delalloc bits in the cases where we want to clear the metadata reservation
when we clear the delalloc extent, in the case that we do an inline extent
or we invalidate the page.
3) It adds another waitqueue to the space info so that when we start a fs
wide delalloc flush, anybody else who also hits that area will simply wait
for the flush to finish and then try to make their allocation.

This has been tested thoroughly to make sure we did not regress on
performance.

Josef Bacik 9ed74f2dba Btrfs: proper -ENOSPC handling
At the start of a transaction we do a btrfs_reserve_metadata_space() and
specify how many items we plan on modifying.  Then once we've done our
modifications and such, just call btrfs_unreserve_metadata_space() for
the same number of items we reserved.

For keeping track of metadata needed for data I've had to add an extent_io op
for when we merge extents.  This lets us track space properly when we are doing
sequential writes, so we don't end up reserving way more metadata space than
what we need.

The only place where the metadata space accounting is not done is in the
relocation code.  This is because Yan is going to be reworking that code in the
near future, so running btrfs-vol -b could still possibly result in a ENOSPC
related panic.  This patch also turns off the metadata_ratio stuff in order to
allow users to more efficiently use their disk space.

This patch makes it so we track how much metadata we need for an inode's
delayed allocation extents by tracking how many extents are currently
waiting for allocation.  It introduces two new callbacks for the
extent_io tree's, merge_extent_hook and split_extent_hook.  These help
us keep track of when we merge delalloc extents together and split them
up.  Reservations are handled prior to any actually dirty'ing occurs,
and then we unreserve after we dirty.

btrfs_unreserve_metadata_for_delalloc() will make the appropriate
unreservations as needed based on the number of reservations we
currently have and the number of extents we currently have.  Doing the
reservation outside of doing any of the actual dirty'ing lets us do
things like filemap_flush() the inode to try and force delalloc to
happen, or as a last resort actually start allocation on all delalloc
inodes in the fs.  This has survived dbench, fs_mark and an fsx torture
test.

Chris Mason 11ef160fda Btrfs: fix releasepage to avoid unlocking extents we haven't locked
During releasepage, we try to drop any extent_state structs for the
bye offsets of the page we're releaseing.  But the code was incorrectly
telling clear_extent_bit to delete the state struct unconditionallly.

Normally this would be fine because we have the page locked, but other
parts of btrfs will lock down an entire extent, the most common place
being IO completion.

releasepage was deleting the extent state without first locking the extent,
which may result in removing a state struct that another process had
locked down.  The fix here is to leave the NODATASUM and EXTENT_LOCKED
bits alone in releasepage.

Chris Mason 42daec299b Btrfs: fix errors handling cached state in set/clear_extent_bit
Both set and clear_extent_bit allow passing a cached
state struct to reduce rbtree search times.  clear_extent_bit
was improperly bypassing some of the checks around making sure
the extent state fields were correct for a given operation.

The fix used here (from Yan Zheng) is to use the hit_next
goto target instead of jumping all the way down to start clearing
bits without making sure the cached state was exactly correct
for the operation we were doing.

This also fixes up the setting of the start variable for both
ops in the case where we find an overlapping extent that
begins before the range we want to change.  In both cases
we were incorrectly going backwards from the original
requested change.

Chris Mason f85d7d6c8f Btrfs: properly honor wbc->nr_to_write changes
When btrfs fills a delayed allocation, it tries to increase
the wbc nr_to_write to cover a big part of allocation.  The
theory is that we're doing contiguous IO and writing a few
more blocks will save seeks overall at a very low cost.

The problem is that extent_write_cache_pages could ignore
the new higher nr_to_write if nr_to_write had already gone
down to zero.  We fix that by rechecking the nr_to_write
for every page that is processed in the pagevec.

This updates the math around bumping the nr_to_write value
to make sure we don't leave a tiny amount of IO hanging
around for the very end of a new extent.

Chris Mason 8b62b72b26 Btrfs: Use PagePrivate2 to track pages in the data=ordered code.
Btrfs writes go through delalloc to the data=ordered code.  This
makes sure that all of the data is on disk before the metadata
that references it.  The tracking means that we have to make sure
each page in an extent is fully written before we add that extent into
the on-disk btree.

This was done in the past by setting the EXTENT_ORDERED bit for the
range of an extent when it was added to the data=ordered code, and then
clearing the EXTENT_ORDERED bit in the extent state tree as each page
finished IO.

One of the reasons we had to do this was because sometimes pages are
magically dirtied without page_mkwrite being called.  The EXTENT_ORDERED
bit is checked at writepage time, and if it isn't there, our page become
dirty without going through the proper path.

These bit operations make for a number of rbtree searches for each page,
and can cause considerable lock contention.

This commit switches from the EXTENT_ORDERED bit to use PagePrivate2.
As pages go into the ordered code, PagePrivate2 is set on each one.
This is a cheap operation because we already have all the pages locked
and ready to go.

As IO finishes, the PagePrivate2 bit is cleared and the ordered
accoutning is updated for each page.

At writepage time, if the PagePrivate2 bit is missing, we go into the
writepage fixup code to handle improperly dirtied pages.

Chris Mason 2c64c53d8d Btrfs: cache values for locking extents
Many of the btrfs extent state tree users follow the same pattern.
They lock an extent range in the tree, do some operation and then
unlock.

This translates to at least 2 rbtree searches, and maybe more if they
are doing operations on the extent state tree.  A locked extent
in the tree isn't going to be merged or changed, and so we can
safely return the extent state structure as a cached handle.

This changes set_extent_bit to give back a cached handle, and also
changes both set_extent_bit and clear_extent_bit to use the cached
handle if it is available.

Chris Mason 1edbb734b4 Btrfs: reduce CPU usage in the extent_state tree
Btrfs is currently mirroring some of the page state bits into
its extent state tree.  The goal behind this was to use it in supporting
blocksizes other than the page size.

But, we don't currently support that, and we're using quite a lot of CPU
on the rb tree and its spin lock.  This commit starts a series of
cleanups to reduce the amount of work done in the extent state tree as
part of each IO.

This commit:

* Adds the ability to lock an extent in the state tree and also set
other bits.  The idea is to do locking and delalloc in one call

* Removes the EXTENT_WRITEBACK and EXTENT_DIRTY bits.  Btrfs is using
a combination of the page bits and the ordered write code for this
instead.

Chris Mason e48c465bb3 Btrfs: Fix new state initialization order
As the extent state tree is manipulated, there are call backs
that are used to take extra actions when different state bits are set
or cleared.  One example of this is a counter for the total number
of delayed allocation bytes in a single inode and in the whole FS.

When new states are inserted, this callback is being done before we
properly setup the new state.  This hasn't caused problems before
because the lock bit was always done first, and the existing call backs
don't care about the lock bit.

This patch makes sure the state is properly setup before using the
callback, which is important for later optimizations that do more work
without using the lock bit.

Chris Mason d313d7a31a Btrfs: add a priority queue to the async thread helpers
Btrfs is using WRITE_SYNC_PLUG to send down synchronous IOs with a
higher priority.  But, the checksumming helper threads prevent it
from being fully effective.

There are two problems.  First, a big queue of pending checksumming
will delay the synchronous IO behind other lower priority writes.  Second,
the checksumming uses an ordered async work queue.  The ordering makes sure
that IOs are sent to the block layer in the same order they are sent
to the checksumming threads.  Usually this gives us less seeky IO.

But, when we start mixing IO priorities, the lower priority IO can delay
the higher priority IO.

This patch solves both problems by adding a high priority list to the async
helper threads, and a new btrfs_set_work_high_prio(), which is used
to make put a new async work item onto the higher priority list.

The ordering is still done on high priority IO, but all of the high
priority bios are ordered separately from the low priority bios.  This
ordering is purely an IO optimization, it is not involved in data
or metadata integrity.

Chris Mason ffbd517d5a Btrfs: use WRITE_SYNC for synchronous writes
Part of reducing fsync/O_SYNC/O_DIRECT latencies is using WRITE_SYNC for
writes we plan on waiting on in the near future.  This patch
mirrors recent changes in other filesystems and the generic code to
use WRITE_SYNC when WB_SYNC_ALL is passed and to use WRITE_SYNC for
other latency critical writes.

Btrfs uses async worker threads for checksumming before the write is done,
and then again to actually submit the bios.  The bio submission code just
runs a per-device list of bios that need to be sent down the pipe.

This list is split into low priority and high priority lists so the
WRITE_SYNC IO happens first.

Chris Mason b9473439d3 Btrfs: leave btree locks spinning more often
btrfs_mark_buffer dirty would set dirty bits in the extent_io tree
for the buffers it was dirtying.  This may require a kmalloc and it
was not atomic.  So, anyone who called btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty had to
set any btree locks they were holding to blocking first.

This commit changes dirty tracking for extent buffers to just use a flag
in the extent buffer.  Now that we have one and only one extent buffer
per page, this can be safely done without losing dirty bits along the way.

This also introduces a path->leave_spinning flag that callers of
btrfs_search_slot can use to indicate they will properly deal with a
path returned where all the locks are spinning instead of blocking.

Many of the btree search callers now expect spinning paths,
resulting in better btree concurrency overall.

Chris Mason b4ce94de9b Btrfs: Change btree locking to use explicit blocking points
Most of the btrfs metadata operations can be protected by a spinlock,
but some operations still need to schedule.

So far, btrfs has been using a mutex along with a trylock loop,
most of the time it is able to avoid going for the full mutex, so
the trylock loop is a big performance gain.

This commit is step one for getting rid of the blocking locks entirely.
btrfs_tree_lock takes a spinlock, and the code explicitly switches
to a blocking lock when it starts an operation that can schedule.

We'll be able get rid of the blocking locks in smaller pieces over time.
Tracing allows us to find the most common cause of blocking, so we
can start with the hot spots first.

The basic idea is:

btrfs_tree_lock() returns with the spin lock held

btrfs_set_lock_blocking() sets the EXTENT_BUFFER_BLOCKING bit in
the extent buffer flags, and then drops the spin lock.  The buffer is
still considered locked by all of the btrfs code.

If btrfs_tree_lock gets the spinlock but finds the blocking bit set, it drops
the spin lock and waits on a wait queue for the blocking bit to go away.

Much of the code that needs to set the blocking bit finishes without actually
blocking a good percentage of the time.  So, an adaptive spin is still
used against the blocking bit to avoid very high context switch rates.

btrfs_clear_lock_blocking() clears the blocking bit and returns
with the spinlock held again.

btrfs_tree_unlock() can be called on either blocking or spinning locks,
it does the right thing based on the blocking bit.

ctree.c has a helper function to set/clear all the locked buffers in a
path as blocking.

Chris Mason d20f7043fa Btrfs: move data checksumming into a dedicated tree
Btrfs stores checksums for each data block.  Until now, they have
been stored in the subvolume trees, indexed by the inode that is
referencing the data block.  This means that when we read the inode,
we've probably read in at least some checksums as well.

But, this has a few problems:

* The checksums are indexed by logical offset in the file.  When
compression is on, this means we have to do the expensive checksumming
on the uncompressed data.  It would be faster if we could checksum
the compressed data instead.

* If we implement encryption, we'll be checksumming the plain text and
storing that on disk.  This is significantly less secure.

* For either compression or encryption, we have to get the plain text
back before we can verify the checksum as correct.  This makes the raid
layer balancing and extent moving much more expensive.

* It makes the front end caching code more complex, as we have touch
the subvolume and inodes as we cache extents.

* There is potentitally one copy of the checksum in each subvolume
referencing an extent.

The solution used here is to store the extent checksums in a dedicated
tree.  This allows us to index the checksums by phyiscal extent
start and length.  It means:

* The checksum is against the data stored on disk, after any compression
or encryption is done.

* The checksum is stored in a central location, and can be verified without
following back references, or reading inodes.

This makes compression significantly faster by reducing the amount of
data that needs to be checksummed.  It will also allow much faster
raid management code in general.

The checksums are indexed by a key with a fixed objectid (a magic value
in ctree.h) and offset set to the starting byte of the extent.  This
allows us to copy the checksum items into the fsync log tree directly (or
any other tree), without having to invent a second format for them.

Chris Mason d2c3f4f695 Btrfs: Avoid writeback stalls
While building large bios in writepages, btrfs may end up waiting
for other page writeback to finish if WB_SYNC_ALL is used.

While it is waiting, the bio it is building has a number of pages with the
writeback bit set and they aren't getting to the disk any time soon.  This
lowers the latencies of writeback in general by sending down the bio being
built before waiting for other pages.

The bio submission code tries to limit the total number of async bios in
flight by waiting when we're over a certain number of async bios.  But,
the waits are happening while writepages is building bios, and this can easily
lead to stalls and other problems for people calling wait_on_page_writeback.

The current fix is to let the congestion tests take care of waiting.

sync() and others make sure to drain the current async requests to make
sure that everything that was pending when the sync was started really get
to disk.  The code would drain pending requests both before and after
submitting a new request.

But, if one of the requests is waiting for page writeback to finish,
the draining waits might block that page writeback.  This changes the
draining code to only wait after submitting the bio being processed.

Chris Mason b47eda8690 Btrfs: Turn off extent state leak debugging
The extent_io.c code has a #define to find and cleanup extent state leaks
on module unmount.  This adds a very highly contended spinlock to a
hot path for most FS operations.

Turn it off by default.  A later changeset will add a .config option
for it.

Chris Mason 39be25cd89 Btrfs: Use invalidatepage when writepage finds a page outside of i_size
With all the recent fixes to the delalloc locking, it is now safe
again to use invalidatepage inside the writepage code for
pages outside of i_size.  This used to deadlock against some of the
code to write locked ranges of pages, but all of that has been fixed.

Chris Mason f2b1c41cf9 Btrfs: Make sure pages are dirty before doing delalloc for them
This adds a PageDirty check to the writeback path that locks pages
for delalloc.  If a page wasn't dirty at this point, it is in the
process of being truncated away.

Chris Mason 3b7885bf96 Btrfs: enforce metadata allocation clustering
The allocator uses the last allocation as a starting point for metadata
allocations, and tries to allocate in clusters of at least 256k.

If the search for a free block fails to find the expected block, this patch
forces a new cluster to be found in the free list.

Chris Mason 771ed689d2 Btrfs: Optimize compressed writeback and reads
When reading compressed extents, try to put pages into the page cache
for any pages covered by the compressed extent that readpages didn't already
preload.

Add an async work queue to handle transformations at delayed allocation processing
time.  Right now this is just compression.  The workflow is:

1) Find offsets in the file marked for delayed allocation
2) Lock the pages
3) Lock the state bits
4) Call the async delalloc code

The async delalloc code clears the state lock bits and delalloc bits.  It is
important this happens before the range goes into the work queue because
otherwise it might deadlock with other work queue items that try to lock
those extent bits.

The file pages are compressed, and if the compression doesn't work the
pages are written back directly.

An ordered work queue is used to make sure the inodes are written in the same
order that pdflush or writepages sent them down.

This changes extent_write_cache_pages to let the writepage function
update the wbc nr_written count.

Chris Mason 70b99e6959 Btrfs: Compression corner fixes
Make sure we keep page->mapping NULL on the pages we're getting
via alloc_page.  It gets set so a few of the callbacks can do the right
thing, but in general these pages don't have a mapping.

Don't try to truncate compressed inline items in btrfs_drop_extents.
The whole compressed item must be preserved.

Don't try to create multipage inline compressed items.  When we try to
overwrite just the first page of the file, we would have to read in and recow
all the pages after it in the same compressed inline items.  For now, only
create single page inline items.

Make sure we lock pages in the correct order during delalloc.  The
search into the state tree for delalloc bytes can return bytes before
the page we already have locked.

Yan Zheng d899e05215 Btrfs: Add fallocate support v2
This patch updates btrfs-progs for fallocate support.

fallocate is a little different in Btrfs because we need to tell the
COW system that a given preallocated extent doesn't need to be
cow'd as long as there are no snapshots of it.  This leverages the
-o nodatacow checks.
