Inodes for delayed iput allocate a trivial helper structure, let's place
the list hook directly into the inode and save a kmalloc (killing a
__GFP_NOFAIL as a bonus) at the cost of increasing size of btrfs_inode.
The inode can be put into the delayed_iputs list more than once and we
have to keep the count. This means we can't use the list_splice to
process a bunch of inodes because we'd lost track of the count if the
inode is put into the delayed iputs again while it's processed.

This means that the inode had non-zero "outstanding extents" during
eviction. This occurs because, during direct I/O a task which successfully
used up its reserved data space would set BTRFS_INODE_DIO_READY bit and does
not clear the bit after finishing the DIO write. A future DIO write could
actually fail and the unused reserve space won't be freed because of the
previously set BTRFS_INODE_DIO_READY bit.
Clearing the BTRFS_INODE_DIO_READY bit in btrfs_direct_IO() caused the
following issue,
|-----------------------------------+-------------------------------------|
| Task A | Task B |
|-----------------------------------+-------------------------------------|
| Start direct i/o write on inode X.| |
| reserve space | |
| Allocate ordered extent | |
| release reserved space | |
| Set BTRFS_INODE_DIO_READY bit. | |
| | splice() |
| | Transfer data from pipe buffer to |
| | destination file. |
| | - kmap(pipe buffer page) |
| | - Start direct i/o write on |
| | inode X. |
| | - reserve space |
| | - dio_refill_pages() |
| | - sdio->blocks_available == 0 |
| | - Since a kernel address is |
| | being passed instead of a |
| | user space address, |
| | iov_iter_get_pages() returns |
| | -EFAULT. |
| | - Since BTRFS_INODE_DIO_READY is |
| | set, we don't release reserved |
| | space. |
| | - Clear BTRFS_INODE_DIO_READY bit.|
| -EIOCBQUEUED is returned. | |
|-----------------------------------+-------------------------------------|
Hence this commit introduces "struct btrfs_dio_data" to track the usage of
reserved data space. The remaining unused "reserve space" can now be freed
reliably.

While running generic/019, dmesg got several warnings from

in which case, btrfs_direct_IO() goes to the error handling and free
bytes_may_use, but the problem is that bytes_may_use has been free'd

We can get into inconsistency between inodes and directory entries
after fsyncing a directory. The issue is that while a directory gets
the new dentries persisted in the fsync log and replayed at mount time,
the link count of the inode that directory entries point to doesn't
get updated, staying with an incorrect link count (smaller then the
correct value). This later leads to stale file handle errors when
accessing (including attempt to delete) some of the links if all the
other ones are removed, which also implies impossibility to delete the
parent directories, since the dentries can not be removed.
Another issue is that (unlike ext3/4, xfs, f2fs, reiserfs, nilfs2),
when fsyncing a directory, new files aren't logged (their metadata and
dentries) nor any child directories. So this patch fixes this issue too,
since it has the same resolution as the incorrect inode link count issue
mentioned before.
This is very easy to reproduce, and the following excerpt from my test
case for xfstests shows how:

unresolved ref dir 258 index 2 namelen 5 name foo_2 filetype 1 errors 4, no inode ref
unresolved ref dir 258 index 3 namelen 5 name foo_3 filetype 1 errors 4, no inode ref
So fix this by logging the inodes that the dentries point to when
fsyncing a directory.

While we have a transaction ongoing, the VM might decide at any time
to call btree_inode->i_mapping->a_ops->writepages(), which will start
writeback of dirty pages belonging to btree nodes/leafs. This call
might return an error or the writeback might finish with an error
before we attempt to commit the running transaction. If this happens,
we might have no way of knowing that such error happened when we are
committing the transaction - because the pages might no longer be
marked dirty nor tagged for writeback (if a subsequent modification
to the extent buffer didn't happen before the transaction commit) which
makes filemap_fdata[write|wait]_range unable to find such pages (even
if they're marked with SetPageError).
So if this happens we must abort the transaction, otherwise we commit
a super block with btree roots that point to btree nodes/leafs whose
content on disk is invalid - either garbage or the content of some
node/leaf from a past generation that got cowed or deleted and is no
longer valid (for this later case we end up getting error messages like
"parent transid verify failed on 10826481664 wanted 25748 found 29562"
when reading btree nodes/leafs from disk).
Note that setting and checking AS_EIO/AS_ENOSPC in the btree inode's
i_mapping would not be enough because we need to distinguish between
log tree extents (not fatal) vs non-log tree extents (fatal) and
because the next call to filemap_fdatawait_range() will catch and clear
such errors in the mapping - and that call might be from a log sync and
not from a transaction commit, which means we would not know about the
error at transaction commit time. Also, checking for the eb flag
EXTENT_BUFFER_IOERR at transaction commit time isn't done and would
not be completely reliable, as the eb might be removed from memory and
read back when trying to get it, which clears that flag right before
reading the eb's pages from disk, making us not know about the previous
write error.
Using the new 3 flags for the btree inode also makes us achieve the
goal of AS_EIO/AS_ENOSPC when writepages() returns success, started
writeback for all dirty pages and before filemap_fdatawait_range() is
called, the writeback for all dirty pages had already finished with
errors - because we were not using AS_EIO/AS_ENOSPC,
filemap_fdatawait_range() would return success, as it could not know
that writeback errors happened (the pages were no longer tagged for
writeback).

This patch implement data repair function when direct read fails.
The detail of the implementation is:
- When we find the data is not right, we try to read the data from the other
mirror.
- When the io on the mirror ends, we will insert the endio work into the
dedicated btrfs workqueue, not common read endio workqueue, because the
original endio work is still blocked in the btrfs endio workqueue, if we
insert the endio work of the io on the mirror into that workqueue, deadlock
would happen.
- After we get right data, we write it back to the corrupted mirror.
- And if the data on the new mirror is still corrupted, we will try next
mirror until we read right data or all the mirrors are traversed.
- After the above work, we set the uptodate flag according to the result.

Direct IO splits the original bio to several sub-bios because of the limit of
raid stripe, and the filesystem will wait for all sub-bios and then run final
end io process.
But it was very hard to implement the data repair when dio read failure happens,
because at the final end io function, we didn't know which mirror the data was
read from. So in order to implement the data repair, we have to move the file data
check in the final end io function to the sub-bio end io function, in which we can
get the mirror number of the device we access. This patch did this work as the
first step of the direct io data repair implementation.

The current code would load checksum data for several times when we split
a whole direct read io because of the limit of the raid stripe, it would
make us search the csum tree for several times. In fact, it just wasted time,
and made the contention of the csum tree root be more serious. This patch
improves this problem by loading the data at once.

When a ranged fsync finishes if there are still extent maps in the modified
list, still set the inode's logged_trans and last_log_commit. This is important
in case an inode is fsync'ed and unlinked in the same transaction, to ensure its
inode ref gets deleted from the log and the respective dentries in its parent
are deleted too from the log (if the parent directory was fsync'ed in the same
transaction).
Instead make btrfs_inode_in_log() return false if the list of modified extent
maps isn't empty.

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
deadlocks.

In these instances, we are trying to determine if a page has been accessed

accomplished by doing a gang lookup in the page mapping radix tree, and it
saves us the dependency on the flag (so that we might eventually delete
it).
btrfs_page_exists_in_range borrows heavily from find_get_page, replacing
the radix tree look up with a gang lookup of 1, so that we can find the
next highest page >= index and see if it falls into our lock range.

This change adds infrastructure to allow for generic properties for
inodes. Properties are name/value pairs that can be associated with
inodes for different purposes. They are stored as xattrs with the
prefix "btrfs."
Properties can be inherited - this means when a directory inode has
inheritable properties set, these are added to new inodes created
under that directory. Further, subvolumes can also have properties
associated with them, and they can be inherited from their parent
subvolume. Naturally, directory properties have priority over subvolume
properties (in practice a subvolume property is just a regular
property associated with the root inode, objectid 256, of the
subvolume's fs tree).
This change also adds one specific property implementation, named
"compression", whose values can be "lzo" or "zlib" and it's an
inheritable property.
The corresponding changes to btrfs-progs were also implemented.
A patch with xfstests for this feature will follow once there's
agreement on this change/feature.
Further, the script at the bottom of this commit message was used to
do some benchmarks to measure any performance penalties of this feature.
Basically the tests correspond to:
Test 1 - create a filesystem and mount it with compress-force=lzo,
then sequentially create N files of 64Kb each, measure how long it took
to create the files, unmount the filesystem, mount the filesystem and
perform an 'ls -lha' against the test directory holding the N files, and
report the time the command took.
Test 2 - create a filesystem and don't use any compression option when
mounting it - instead set the compression property of the subvolume's
root to 'lzo'. Then create N files of 64Kb, and report the time it took.
The unmount the filesystem, mount it again and perform an 'ls -lha' like
in the former test. This means every single file ends up with a property
(xattr) associated to it.
Test 3 - same as test 2, but uses 4 properties - 3 are duplicates of the
compression property, have no real effect other than adding more work
when inheriting properties and taking more btree leaf space.
Test 4 - same as test 3 but with 10 properties per file.
Results (in seconds, and averages of 5 runs each), for different N
numbers of files follow.
* Without properties (test 1)
file creation time ls -lha time
10 000 files 3.49 0.76
100 000 files 47.19 8.37
1 000 000 files 518.51 107.06
* With 1 property (compression property set to lzo - test 2)
file creation time ls -lha time
10 000 files 3.63 0.93
100 000 files 48.56 9.74
1 000 000 files 537.72 125.11
* With 4 properties (test 3)

10 000 files 3.94 1.20
100 000 files 52.14 11.48
1 000 000 files 572.70 142.13
* With 10 properties (test 4)
file creation time ls -lha time
10 000 files 4.61 1.35
100 000 files 58.86 13.83
1 000 000 files 656.01 177.61
The increased latencies with properties are essencialy because of:
*) When creating an inode, we now synchronously write 1 more item
(an xattr item) for each property inherited from the parent dir
(or subvolume). This could be done in an asynchronous way such
as we do for dir intex items (delayed-inode.c), which could help
reduce the file creation latency;
*) With properties, we now have larger fs trees. For this particular
test each xattr item uses 75 bytes of leaf space in the fs tree.
This could be less by using a new item for xattr items, instead of
the current btrfs_dir_item, since we could cut the 'location' and
'type' fields (saving 18 bytes) and maybe 'transid' too (saving a
total of 26 bytes per xattr item) from the btrfs_dir_item type.
Also tried batching the xattr insertions (ignoring proper hash
collision handling, since it didn't exist) when creating files that
inherit properties from their parent inode/subvolume, but the end
results were (surprisingly) essentially the same.

The inode reference item is close to inode item, so we insert it simultaneously
with the inode item insertion when we create a file/directory.. In fact, we also
can handle the inode reference deletion by the same way. So we made this patch to
introduce the delayed inode reference deletion for the single link inode(At most
case, the file doesn't has hard link, so we don't take the hard link into account).
This function is based on the delayed inode mechanism. After applying this patch,
we can reduce the time of the file/directory deletion by ~10%.

Currently the hash value used for adding an inode to the VFS's inode
hash table consists of the plain inode number, which is a 64 bits
integer. This results in hash table buckets (hlist_head lists) with
too many elements for at least 2 important scenarios:
1) When we have many subvolumes. Each subvolume has its own btree
where its files and directories are added to, and each has its
own objectid (inode number) namespace. This means that if we have
N subvolumes, and all have inode number X associated to a file or
directory, the corresponding inodes all map to the same hash table
entry, resulting in a bucket (hlist_head list) with N elements;
2) On 32 bits machines. Th VFS hash values are unsigned longs, which
are 32 bits wide on 32 bits machines, and the inode (objectid)
numbers are 64 bits unsigned integers. We simply cast the inode
numbers to hash values, which means that for all inodes with the
same 32 bits lower half, the same hash bucket is used for all of
them. For example, all inodes with a number (objectid) between
0x0000_0000_ffff_ffff and 0xffff_ffff_ffff_ffff will end up in
the same hash table bucket.
This change ensures the inode's hash value depends both on the
objectid (inode number) and its subvolume's (btree root) objectid.
For 32 bits machines, this change gives better entropy by making
the hash value depend on both the upper and lower 32 bits of the
64 bits hash previously computed.

Liu introduced a local copy of the last log commit for an inode to make sure we
actually log an inode even if a log commit has already taken place. In order to
make sure we didn't relog the same inode multiple times he set this local copy
to the current trans when we log the inode, because usually we log the inode and
then sync the log. The exception to this is during rename, we will relog an
inode if the name changed and it is already in the log. The problem with this
is then we go to sync the inode, and our check to see if the inode has already
been logged is tripped and we don't sync the log. To fix this we need to _also_
check against the roots last log commit, because it could be less than what is
in our local copy of the log commit. This fixes a bug where we rename a file
into a directory and then fsync the directory and then on remount the directory
is no longer there. Thanks,

Currently, we can do unlocked dio reads, but the following race
is possible:
dio_read_task truncate_task

->__blockdev_direct_IO
->btrfs_get_block
->btrfs_truncate()
#alloc truncated blocks

#INFORMATION LEAK
In order to avoid this problem, we must serialize unlocked dio reads with
truncate. There are two approaches:
- use extent lock to protect the extent that we truncate
- use inode_dio_wait() to make sure the truncating task will wait for
the read DIO.
If we use the 1st one, we will meet the endless truncation problem due to
the nonlocked read DIO after we implement the nonlocked write DIO. It is
because we still need invoke inode_dio_wait() avoid the race between write
DIO and truncation. By that time, we have to introduce
btrfs_inode_{block, resume}_nolock_dio()
again. That is we have to implement this patch again, so I choose the 2nd

This is based on Josef's "Btrfs: turbo charge fsync".
The current btrfs checks if an inode is in log by comparing
root's last_log_commit to inode's last_sub_trans[2].
But the problem is that this root->last_log_commit is shared among
inodes.
Say we have N inodes to be logged, after the first inode,
root's last_log_commit is updated and the N-1 remained files will
be skipped.
This fixes the bug by keeping a local copy of root's last_log_commit
inside each inode and this local copy will be maintained itself.

At least for the vm workload. Currently on fsync we will
1) Truncate all items in the log tree for the given inode if they exist
and
2) Copy all items for a given inode into the log
The problem with this is that for things like VMs you can have lots of
extents from the fragmented writing behavior, and worst yet you may have
only modified a few extents, not the entire thing. This patch fixes this
problem by tracking which transid modified our extent, and then when we do
the tree logging we find all of the extents we've modified in our current
transaction, sort them and commit them. We also only truncate up to the
xattrs of the inode and copy that stuff in normally, and then just drop any
extents in the range we have that exist in the log already. Here are some
numbers of a 50 meg fio job that does random writes and fsync()s after every
write
Original Patched
SATA drive 82KB/s 140KB/s
Fusion drive 431KB/s 2532KB/s
So around 2-6 times faster depending on your hardware. There are a few
corner cases, for example if you truncate at all we have to do it the old
way since there is no way to be sure what is in the log is ok. This
probably could be done smarter, but if you write-fsync-truncate-write-fsync
you deserve what you get. All this work is in RAM of course so if your
inode gets evicted from cache and you read it in and fsync it we'll do it
the slow way if we are still in the same transaction that we last modified
the inode in.
The biggest cool part of this is that it requires no changes to the recovery
code, so if you fsync with this patch and crash and load an old kernel, it
will run the recovery and be a-ok. I have tested this pretty thoroughly
with an fsync tester and everything comes back fine, as well as xfstests.

I removed this in an earlier commit and I was wrong. Because compression
can return from filemap_fdatawrite() without having actually set any of it's
pages as writeback() it can make filemap_fdatawait() do essentially nothing,
and then we won't find any ordered extents because they may not have been
created yet. So not only does this make fsync() completely useless, but it
will also screw up if you truncate on a non-page aligned offset since we
zero out the end and then wait on ordered extents and then call drop caches.
We can drop the cache before the io completes and then we try to unpin the
extent we just wrote we won't find it and everything goes sideways. So fix
this by putting it back and put a giant comment there to keep me from trying
to remove it in the future. Thanks,

doesn't work out right. Turns out we've been doing this forever where we
have different parts of the bit field protected by either no lock at all or
different locks which could cause all sorts of weird problems including the
issue I was hitting. So instead make a runtime_flags thing that we use the
normal bit operations on that are all atomic so we can keep having our
no/different locking for the different flags and then make force_compress
it's own thing so it can be treated normally. Thanks,

People have been reporting ENOSPC crashes in finish_ordered_io. This is because
we try to steal from the delalloc block rsv to satisfy a reservation to update
the inode. The problem with this is we don't explicitly save space for updating
the inode when doing delalloc. This is kind of a problem and we've gotten away
with this because way back when we just stole from the delalloc reserve without
any questions, and this worked out fine because generally speaking the leaf had
been modified either by the mtime update when we did the original write or
because we just updated the leaf when we inserted the file extent item, only on
rare occasions had the leaf not actually been modified, and that was still ok
because we'd just use a block or two out of the over-reservation that is
delalloc.
Then came the delayed inode stuff. This is amazing, except it wants a full
reservation for updating the inode since it may do it at some point down the
road after we've written the blocks and we have to recow everything again. This
worked out because the delayed inode stuff just stole from the global reserve,
that is until recently when I changed that because it caused other problems.
So here we are, we're doing everything right and being screwed for it. So take
an extra reservation for the inode at delalloc reservation time and carry it
through the life of the delalloc reservation. If we need it we can steal it in
the delayed inode stuff. If we have already stolen it try and do a normal
metadata reservation. If that fails try to steal from the delalloc reservation.
If _that_ fails we'll get a WARN_ON() so I can start thinking of a better way to
solve this and in the meantime we'll steal from the global reserve.

don't actually reserve anything because

atomic_inc(outstanding)

Changelog V1 -> V2:
- break up the global rb-tree, use a list to manage the delayed nodes,
which is created for every directory and file, and used to manage the
delayed directory name index items and the delayed inode item.
- introduce a worker to deal with the delayed nodes.
Compare with Ext3/4, the performance of file creation and deletion on btrfs
is very poor. the reason is that btrfs must do a lot of b+ tree insertions,
such as inode item, directory name item, directory name index and so on.
If we can do some delayed b+ tree insertion or deletion, we can improve the
performance, so we made this patch which implemented delayed directory name
index insertion/deletion and delayed inode update.
Implementation:
- introduce a delayed root object into the filesystem, that use two lists to
manage the delayed nodes which are created for every file/directory.
One is used to manage all the delayed nodes that have delayed items. And the
other is used to manage the delayed nodes which is waiting to be dealt with
by the work thread.
- Every delayed node has two rb-tree, one is used to manage the directory name
index which is going to be inserted into b+ tree, and the other is used to
manage the directory name index which is going to be deleted from b+ tree.
- introduce a worker to deal with the delayed operation. This worker is used
to deal with the works of the delayed directory name index items insertion
and deletion and the delayed inode update.
When the delayed items is beyond the lower limit, we create works for some
delayed nodes and insert them into the work queue of the worker, and then
go back.
When the delayed items is beyond the upper bound, we create works for all
the delayed nodes that haven't been dealt with, and insert them into the work
queue of the worker, and then wait for that the untreated items is below some
threshold value.
- When we want to insert a directory name index into b+ tree, we just add the
information into the delayed inserting rb-tree.
And then we check the number of the delayed items and do delayed items
balance. (The balance policy is above.)
- When we want to delete a directory name index from the b+ tree, we search it
in the inserting rb-tree at first. If we look it up, just drop it. If not,
add the key of it into the delayed deleting rb-tree.
Similar to the delayed inserting rb-tree, we also check the number of the
delayed items and do delayed items balance.
(The same to inserting manipulation)
- When we want to update the metadata of some inode, we cached the data of the
inode into the delayed node. the worker will flush it into the b+ tree after
dealing with the delayed insertion and deletion.
- We will move the delayed node to the tail of the list after we access the
delayed node, By this way, we can cache more delayed items and merge more
inode updates.
- If we want to commit transaction, we will deal with all the delayed node.
- the delayed node will be freed when we free the btrfs inode.
- Before we log the inode items, we commit all the directory name index items
and the delayed inode update.
I did a quick test by the benchmark tool[1] and found we can improve the
performance of file creation by ~15%, and file deletion by ~20%.
