When changing a file's acl mask, btrfs_set_acl() will first set the
group bits of i_mode to the value of the mask, and only then set the
actual extended attribute representing the new acl.
If the second part fails (due to lack of space, for example) and the
file had no acl attribute to begin with, the system will from now on
assume that the mask permission bits are actual group permission bits,
potentially granting access to the wrong users.
Prevent this by restoring the original mode bits if __btrfs_set_acl
fails.

This patch provides a band aid to improve the 'out of the box'
behaviour of btrfs for disks that are detected as being an ssd. In a
general purpose mixed workload scenario, the current ssd mode causes
overallocation of available raw disk space for data, while leaving
behind increasing amounts of unused fragmented free space. This
situation leads to early ENOSPC problems which are harming user
experience and adoption of btrfs as a general purpose filesystem.
This patch modifies the data extent allocation behaviour of the ssd mode
to make it behave identical to nossd mode. The metadata behaviour and
additional ssd_spread option stay untouched so far.
Recommendations for future development are to reconsider the current
oversimplified nossd / ssd distinction and the broken detection
mechanism based on the rotational attribute in sysfs and provide
experienced users with a more flexible way to choose allocator behaviour
for data and metadata, optimized for certain use cases, while keeping
sane 'out of the box' default settings. The internals of the current
btrfs code have more potential than what currently gets exposed to the
user to choose from.
The SSD story...
In the first year of btrfs development, around early 2008, btrfs
gained a mount option which enables specific functionality for
filesystems on solid state devices. The first occurance of this
functionality is in commit e18e4809, labeled "Add mount -o ssd, which
includes optimizations for seek free storage".
The effect on allocating free space for doing (data) writes is to
'cluster' writes together, writing them out in contiguous space, as
opposed to a 'tetris' way of putting all separate writes into any free
space fragment that fits (which is what the -o nossd behaviour does).
A somewhat simplified explanation of what happens is that, when for
example, the 'cluster' size is set to 2MiB, when we do some writes, the
data allocator will search for a free space block that is 2MiB big, and
put the writes in there. The ssd mode itself might allow a 2MiB cluster
to be composed of multiple free space extents with some existing data in
between, while the additional ssd_spread mount option kills off this
option and requires fully free space.
The idea behind this is (commit 536ac8ae): "The [...] clusters make it
more likely a given IO will completely overwrite the ssd block, so it
doesn't have to do an internal rwm cycle."; ssd block meaning nand erase
block. So, effectively this means applying a "locality based algorithm"
and trying to outsmart the actual ssd.
Since then, various changes have been made to the involved code, but the
basic idea is still present, and gets activated whenever the ssd mount
option is active. This also happens by default, when the rotational flag
as seen at /sys/block/<device>/queue/rotational is set to 0.
However, there's a number of problems with this approach.
First, what the optimization is trying to do is outsmart the ssd by
assuming there is a relation between the physical address space of the
block device as seen by btrfs and the actual physical storage of the
ssd, and then adjusting data placement. However, since the introduction
of the Flash Translation Layer (FTL) which is a part of the internal
controller of an ssd, these attempts are futile. The use of good quality
FTL in consumer ssd products might have been limited in 2008, but this
situation has changed drastically soon after that time. Today, even the
flash memory in your automatic cat feeding machine or your grandma's
wheelchair has a full featured one.
Second, the behaviour as described above results in the filesystem being
filled up with badly fragmented free space extents because of relatively
small pieces of space that are freed up by deletes, but not selected
again as part of a 'cluster'. Since the algorithm prefers allocating a
new chunk over going back to tetris mode, the end result is a filesystem
in which all raw space is allocated, but which is composed of
underutilized chunks with a 'shotgun blast' pattern of fragmented free
space. Usually, the next problematic thing that happens is the
filesystem wanting to allocate new space for metadata, which causes the
filesystem to fail in spectacular ways.
Third, the default mount options you get for an ssd ('ssd' mode enabled,
'discard' not enabled), in combination with spreading out writes over
the full address space and ignoring freed up space leads to worst case
behaviour in providing information to the ssd itself, since it will
never learn that all the free space left behind is actually free. There
are two ways to let an ssd know previously written data does not have to
be preserved, which are sending explicit signals using discard or
fstrim, or by simply overwriting the space with new data. The worst
case behaviour is the btrfs ssd_spread mount option in combination with
not having discard enabled. It has a side effect of minimizing the reuse
of free space previously written in.
Fourth, the rotational flag in /sys/ does not reliably indicate if the
device is a locally attached ssd. For example, iSCSI or NBD displays as
non-rotational, while a loop device on an ssd shows up as rotational.
The combination of the second and third problem effectively means that
despite all the good intentions, the btrfs ssd mode reliably causes the
ssd hardware and the filesystem structures and performance to be choked
to death. The clickbait version of the title of this story would have
been "Btrfs ssd optimizations considered harmful for ssds".
The current nossd 'tetris' mode (even still without discard) allows a
pattern of overwriting much more previously used space, causing many
more implicit discards to happen because of the overwrite information
the ssd gets. The actual location in the physical address space, as seen
from the point of view of btrfs is irrelevant, because the actual writes
to the low level flash are reordered anyway thanks to the FTL.
Changes made in the code
1. Make ssd mode data allocation identical to tetris mode, like nossd.
2. Adjust and clean up filesystem mount messages so that we can easily
identify if a kernel has this patch applied or not, when providing
support to end users. Also, make better use of the *_and_info helpers to
only trigger messages on actual state changes.
Backporting notes
Notes for whoever wants to backport this patch to their 4.9 LTS kernel:
* First apply commit 951e7966 "btrfs: drop the nossd flag when
remounting with -o ssd", or fixup the differences manually.
* The rest of the conflicts are because of the fs_info refactoring. So,
for example, instead of using fs_info, it's root->fs_info in
extent-tree.c

When doing an incremental send it's possible that the computed send stream
contains clone operations that will fail on the receiver if the receiver
has compression enabled and the clone operations target a sector sized
extent that starts at a zero file offset, is not compressed on the source
filesystem but ends up being compressed and inlined at the destination
filesystem.
Example scenario:
$ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb
$ mount -o compress /dev/sdb /mnt
# By doing a direct IO write, the data is not compressed.
$ xfs_io -f -d -c "pwrite -S 0xab 0 4K" /mnt/foobar
$ btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt /mnt/mysnap1
$ xfs_io -c "reflink /mnt/foobar 0 8K 4K" /mnt/foobar
$ btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt /mnt/mysnap2
$ btrfs send -f /tmp/1.snap /mnt/mysnap1
$ btrfs send -f /tmp/2.snap -p /mnt/mysnap1 /mnt/mysnap2
$ umount /mnt
$ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdc
$ mount -o compress /dev/sdc /mnt
$ btrfs receive -f /tmp/1.snap /mnt
$ btrfs receive -f /tmp/2.snap /mnt
ERROR: failed to clone extents to foobar
Operation not supported
The same could be achieved by mounting the source filesystem without
compression and doing a buffered IO write instead of a direct IO one,
and mounting the destination filesystem with compression enabled.
So fix this by issuing regular write operations in the send stream
instead of clone operations when the source offset is zero and the
range has a length matching the sector size.

There is a corner case that slips through the checkers in functions
reading extent buffer, ie.
if (start < eb->len) and (start + len > eb->len),
then
a) map_private_extent_buffer() returns immediately because
it's thinking the range spans across two pages,
b) and the checkers in read_extent_buffer(), WARN_ON(start > eb->len)
and WARN_ON(start + len > eb->start + eb->len), both are OK in this
corner case, but it'd actually try to access the eb->pages out of
bounds because of (start + len > eb->len).
The case is found by switching extent inline ref type from shared data
ref to non-shared data ref, which is a kind of metadata corruption.
It'd use the wrong helper to access the eb,
eg. btrfs_extent_data_ref_root(eb, ref) is used but the %ref passing
here is "struct btrfs_shared_data_ref". And if the extent item
happens to be the first item in the eb, then offset/length will get
over eb->len which ends up an invalid memory access.
This is adding proper checks in order to avoid invalid memory access,
ie. 'general protection fault', before it's too late.

Currently, the BTRFS_INODE_NOCOMPRESS will prevent any compression on a
given file, except when the mount is force-compress. As users have
reported on IRC, this will also prevent compression when requested by
defrag (btrfs fi defrag -c file).
The nocompress flag is set automatically by filesystem when the ratios
are bad and the user would have to manually drop the bit in order to
make defrag -c work. This is not good from the usability perspective.
This patch will raise priority for the defrag -c over nocompress, ie.
any file with NOCOMPRESS bit set will get defragmented. The bit will
remain untouched.
Alternate option was to also drop the nocompress bit and keep the
decision logic as is, but I think this is not the right solution.

Add new value for compression to distinguish between defrag and
property. Previously, a single variable was used and this caused clashes
when the per-file 'compression' was set and a defrag -c was called.
The property-compression is loaded when the file is open, defrag will
overwrite the same variable and reset to 0 (ie. NONE) at when the file
defragmentaion is finished. That's considered a usability bug.
Now we won't touch the property value, use the defrag-compression. The
precedence of defrag is higher than for property (and whole-filesystem).
