When we do a device replace, for each device extent we find from the
source device, we set the corresponding block group to readonly mode to
prevent writes into it from happening while we are copying the device
extent from the source to the target device. However just before we set
the block group to readonly mode some concurrent task might have already
allocated an extent from it or decided it could perform a nocow write
into one of its extents, which can make the device replace process to
miss copying an extent since it uses the extent tree's commit root to
search for extents and only once it finishes searching for all extents
belonging to the block group it does set the left cursor to the logical
end address of the block group - this is a problem if the respective
ordered extents finish while we are searching for extents using the
extent tree's commit root and no transaction commit happens while we
are iterating the tree, since it's the delayed references created by the
ordered extents (when they complete) that insert the extent items into
the extent tree (using the non-commit root of course).
Example:
CPU 1 CPU 2
btrfs_dev_replace_start()
btrfs_scrub_dev()
scrub_enumerate_chunks()
--> finds device extent belonging
to block group X
<transaction N starts>
starts buffered write
against some inode
writepages is run against
that inode forcing dellaloc
to run
btrfs_writepages()
extent_writepages()
extent_write_cache_pages()
__extent_writepage()
writepage_delalloc()
run_delalloc_range()
cow_file_range()
btrfs_reserve_extent()
--> allocates an extent
from block group X
(which is not yet
in RO mode)
btrfs_add_ordered_extent()
--> creates ordered extent Y
flush_epd_write_bio()
--> bio against the extent from
block group X is submitted
btrfs_inc_block_group_ro(bg X)
--> sets block group X to readonly
scrub_chunk(bg X)
scrub_stripe(device extent from srcdev)
--> keeps searching for extent items
belonging to the block group using
the extent tree's commit root
--> it never blocks due to
fs_info->scrub_pause_req as no
one tries to commit transaction N
--> copies all extents found from the
source device into the target device
--> finishes search loop
bio completes
ordered extent Y completes
and creates delayed data
reference which will add an
extent item to the extent
tree when run (typically
at transaction commit time)
--> so the task doing the
scrub/device replace
at CPU 1 misses this
and does not copy this
extent into the new/target
device
btrfs_dec_block_group_ro(bg X)
--> turns block group X back to RW mode
dev_replace->cursor_left is set to the
logical end offset of block group X
So fix this by waiting for all cow and nocow writes after setting a block
group to readonly mode.

Before the relocation process of a block group starts, it sets the block
group to readonly mode, then flushes all delalloc writes and then finally
it waits for all ordered extents to complete. This last step includes
waiting for ordered extents destinated at extents allocated in other block
groups, making us waste unecessary time.
So improve this by waiting only for ordered extents that fall into the
block group's range.

We have a mechanism to make sure we don't lose updates for ordered extents that
were logged in the transaction that is currently running. We add the ordered
extent to a transaction list and then the transaction waits on all the ordered
extents in that list. However are substantially large file systems this list
can be extremely large, and can give us soft lockups, since the ordered extents
don't remove themselves from the list when they do complete.
To fix this we simply add a counter to the transaction that is incremented any
time we have a logged extent that needs to be completed in the current
transaction. Then when the ordered extent finally completes it decrements the
per transaction counter and wakes up the transaction if we are the last ones.
This will eliminate the softlockup. Thanks,

Liu Bo pointed out that my previous fix would lose the generation update in the
scenario I described. It is actually much worse than that, we could lose the
entire extent if we lose power right after the transaction commits. Consider
the following
write extent 0-4k
log extent in log tree
commit transaction
< power fail happens here
ordered extent completes
We would lose the 0-4k extent because it hasn't updated the actual fs tree, and
the transaction commit will reset the log so it isn't replayed. If we lose
power before the transaction commit we are save, otherwise we are not.
Fix this by keeping track of all extents we logged in this transaction. Then
when we go to commit the transaction make sure we wait for all of those ordered
extents to complete before proceeding. This will make sure that if we lose
power after the transaction commit we still have our data. This also fixes the
problem of the improperly updated extent generation. Thanks,

Truncates and renames are often used to replace old versions of a file
with new versions. Applications often expect this to be an atomic
replacement, even if they haven't done anything to make sure the new
version is fully on disk.
Btrfs has strict flushing in place to make sure that renaming over an
old file with a new file will fully flush out the new file before
allowing the transaction commit with the rename to complete.
This ordering means the commit code needs to be able to lock file pages,
and there are a few paths in the filesystem where we will try to end a
transaction with the page lock held. It's rare, but these things can
deadlock.
This patch removes the ordered flushes and switches to a best effort
filemap_flush like ext4 uses. It's not perfect, but it should fix the

This patch doesn't insert the ordered extents that is about to be logged into

We currently have this problem where you can truncate pages that have not yet
been written for an ordered extent. We do this because the truncate will be
coming behind to clean us up anyway so what's the harm right? Well if truncate
fails for whatever reason we leave an orphan item around for the file to be
cleaned up later. But if the user goes and truncates up the file and tries to
read from the area that had been discarded previously they will get a csum error
because we never actually wrote that data out.
This patch fixes this by allowing us to either discard the ordered extent
completely, by which I mean we just free up the space we had allocated and not
add the file extent, or adjust the length of the file extent we write. We do
this by setting the length we truncated down to in the ordered extent, and then
we set the file extent length and ram bytes to this length. The total disk
space stays unchanged since we may be compressed and we can't just chop off the
disk space, but at least this way the file extent only points to the valid data.
Then when the file extent is free'd the extent and csums will be freed normally.
This patch is needed for the next series which will give us more graceful
recovery of failed truncates. Thanks,

Using the structure btrfs_sector_sum to keep the checksum value is
unnecessary, because the extents that btrfs_sector_sum points to are
continuous, we can find out the expected checksums by btrfs_ordered_sum's
bytenr and the offset, so we can remove btrfs_sector_sum's bytenr. After
removing bytenr, there is only one member in the structure, so it makes
no sense to keep the structure, just remove it, and use a u32 array to
store the checksum value.
By this change, we don't use the while loop to get the checksums one by
one. Now, we can get several checksum value at one time, it improved the
performance by ~74% on my SSD (31MB/s -> 54MB/s).

Miao made the ordered operations stuff run async, which introduced a
deadlock where we could get somebody (sync) racing in and committing the
transaction while a commit was already happening. The new committer would
try and flush ordered operations which would hang waiting for the commit to
finish because it is done asynchronously and no longer inherits the callers
trans handle. To fix this we need to make the ordered operations list a per
transaction list. We can get new inodes added to the ordered operation list
by truncating them and then having another process writing to them, so this
makes it so that anybody trying to add an ordered operation _must_ start a
transaction in order to add itself to the list, which will keep new inodes
from getting added to the ordered operations list after we start committing.
This should fix the deadlock and also keeps us from doing a lot more work
than we need to during commit. Thanks,

If a snapshot is created while we are writing some data into the file,
the i_size of the corresponding file in the snapshot will be wrong, it will
be beyond the end of the last file extent. And btrfsck will report:
root 256 inode 257 errors 100
Steps to reproduce:
# mkfs.btrfs <partition>
# mount <partition> <mnt>
# cd <mnt>
# dd if=/dev/zero of=tmpfile bs=4M count=1024 &
# for ((i=0; i<4; i++))
> do
> btrfs sub snap . $i
> done
This because the algorithm of disk_i_size update is wrong. Though there are
some ordered extents behind the current one which we use to update disk_i_size,
it doesn't mean those extents will be dealt with in the same transaction. So
We shouldn't use the offset of those extents to update disk_i_size. Or we will
get the wrong i_size in the snapshot.
We fix this problem by recording the max real i_size. If we find there is a
ordered extent which is in front of the current one and doesn't complete, we
will record the end of the current one into that ordered extent. Surely, if
the current extent holds the end of other extent(it must be greater than
the current one because it is behind the current one), we will record the
number that the current extent holds. In this way, we can exclude the ordered
extents that may not be dealth with in the same transaction, and be easy to
know the real disk_i_size.

This provides basic DIO support for reading and writing. It does not do the
work to recover from mismatching checksums, that will come later. A few design
changes have been made from Jim's code (sorry Jim!)
1) Use the generic direct-io code. Jim originally re-wrote all the generic DIO
code in order to account for all of BTRFS's oddities, but thanks to that work it
seems like the best bet is to just ignore compression and such and just opt to
fallback on buffered IO.
2) Fallback on buffered IO for compressed or inline extents. Jim's code did
it's own buffering to make dio with compressed extents work. Now we just
fallback onto normal buffered IO.
3) Use ordered extents for the writes so that all of the
lock_extent()
lookup_ordered()
type checks continue to work.
4) Do the lock_extent() lookup_ordered() loop in readpage so we don't race with
DIO writes.
I've tested this with fsx and everything works great. This patch depends on my

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.

Renames and truncates are both common ways to replace old data with new
data. The filesystem can make an effort to make sure the new data is
on disk before actually replacing the old data.
This is especially important for rename, which many application use as
though it were atomic for both the data and the metadata involved. The
current btrfs code will happily replace a file that is fully on disk
with one that was just created and still has pending IO.
If we crash after transaction commit but before the IO is done, we'll end
up replacing a good file with a zero length file. The solution used
here is to create a list of inodes that need special ordering and force
them to disk before the commit is done. This is similar to the
ext3 style data=ordering, except it is only done on selected files.
Btrfs is able to get away with this because it does not wait on commits
very often, even for fsync (which use a sub-commit).
For renames, we order the file when it wasn't already
on disk and when it is replacing an existing file. Larger files
are sent to filemap_flush right away (before the transaction handle is
opened).
For truncates, we order if the file goes from non-zero size down to
zero size. This is a little different, because at the time of the
truncate the file has no dirty bytes to order. But, we flag the inode
so that it is added to the ordered list on close (via release method). We
also immediately add it to the ordered list of the current transaction
so that we can try to flush down any writes the application sneaks in
before commit.

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.

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.

This patch simplifies the nodatacow checker. If all references
were created after the latest snapshot, then we can avoid COW
safely. This patch also updates run_delalloc_nocow to do more
fine-grained checking.
