2010-04-05Btrfs: create snapshot references in same commit as snapshotSage Weil
This creates the reference to a new snapshot in the same commit as the snapshot itself. This avoids the need for a second commit in order for a snapshot to be persistent, and also avoids the problem of "leaking" a new snapshot tree root if the host crashes before the second commit takes place. It is not at all clear to me why it wasn't always done this way. If there is still a reason for the two-stage {create,finish}_pending_snapshots() approach I'm missing something! :) I've been running this for a couple weeks under pretty heavy usage (a few snapshots per minute) without obvious problems.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2009-10-13Btrfs: streamline tree-log btree block writeoutChris Mason
Syncing the tree log is a 3 phase operation. 1) write and wait for all the tree log blocks for a given root. 2) write and wait for all the tree log blocks for the tree of tree log roots. 3) write and wait for the super blocks (barriers here) This isn't as efficient as it could be because there is no requirement to wait for the blocks from step one to hit the disk before we start writing the blocks from step two. This commit changes the sequence so that we don't start waiting until all the tree blocks from both steps one and two have been sent to disk. We do this by breaking up btrfs_write_wait_marked_extents into two functions, which is trivial because it was already broken up into two parts. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-09-28Btrfs: proper -ENOSPC handlingJosef Bacik
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. Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <jbacik@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

2009-09-21Btrfs: change how subvolumes are organizedYan, Zheng
btrfs allows subvolumes and snapshots anywhere in the directory tree. If we snapshot a subvolume that contains a link to other subvolume called subvolA, subvolA can be accessed through both the original subvolume and the snapshot. This is similar to creating hard link to directory, and has the very similar problems. The aim of this patch is enforcing there is only one access point to each subvolume. Only the first directory entry (the one added when the subvolume/snapshot was created) is treated as valid access point. The first directory entry is distinguished by checking root forward reference. If the corresponding root forward reference is missing, we know the entry is not the first one. This patch also adds snapshot/subvolume rename support, the code allows rename subvolume link across subvolumes.

2009-09-21Btrfs: speed up snapshot droppingYan, Zheng
This patch contains two changes to avoid unnecessary tree block reads during snapshot dropping. First, check tree block's reference count and flags before reading the tree block. if reference count > 1 and there is no need to update backrefs, we can avoid reading the tree block. Second, save when snapshot was created in root_key.offset. we can compare block pointer's generation with snapshot's creation generation during updating backrefs. If a given block was created before snapshot was created, the snapshot can't be the tree block's owner. So we can avoid reading the block.

2009-09-17Btrfs: improve async block group cachingYan Zheng
This patch gets rid of two limitations of async block group caching. The old code delays handling pinned extents when block group is in caching. To allocate logged file extents, the old code need wait until block group is fully cached. To get rid of the limitations, This patch introduces a data structure to track the progress of caching. Base on the caching progress, we know which extents should be added to the free space cache when handling the pinned extents. The logged file extents are also handled in a similar way. This patch also changes how pinned extents are tracked. The old code uses one tree to track pinned extents, and copy the pinned extents tree at transaction commit time. This patch makes it use two trees to track pinned extents. One tree for extents that are pinned in the running transaction, one tree for extents that can be unpinned. At transaction commit time, we swap the two trees. Signed-off-by: Yan Zheng <zheng.yan@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-07-30Btrfs: be more polite in the async caching threadsChris Mason

2009-07-30Btrfs: preserve commit_root for async cachingYan Zheng
The async block group caching code uses the commit_root pointer to get a stable version of the extent allocation tree for scanning. This copy of the tree root isn't going to change and it significantly reduces the complexity of the scanning code. During a commit, we have a loop where we update the extent allocation tree root. We need to loop because updating the root pointer in the tree of tree roots may allocate blocks which may change the extent allocation tree. Right now the commit_root pointer is changed inside this loop. It is more correct to change the commit_root pointer only after all the looping is done.

2009-07-24Btrfs: make flushoncommit mount option correctly wait on ordered_extentsSage Weil
The commit_transaction call to wait_ordered_extents when snap_pending passes nocow_only=1 to process only NOCOW or PREALLOC extents. This isn't correct for the 'flushoncommit' mode, as it skips extents we just started IO on in start_delalloc_inodes. So, in the flushoncommit case, wait on all ordered extents. Otherwise, only pass the nocow_only flag to wait_ordered_extents if snap_pending. Signed-off-by: Sage Weil <sage@newdream.net> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-07-24Btrfs: async block group cachingJosef Bacik
This patch moves the caching of the block group off to a kthread in order to allow people to allocate sooner. Instead of blocking up behind the caching mutex, we instead kick of the caching kthread, and then attempt to make an allocation. If we cannot, we wait on the block groups caching waitqueue, which the caching kthread will wake the waiting threads up everytime it finds 2 meg worth of space, and then again when its finished caching. This is how I tested the speedup from this mkfs the disk mount the disk fill the disk up with fs_mark unmount the disk mount the disk time touch /mnt/foo Without my changes this took 11 seconds on my box, with these changes it now takes 1 second. Another change thats been put in place is we lock the super mirror's in the pinned extent map in order to keep us from adding that stuff as free space when caching the block group. This doesn't really change anything else as far as the pinned extent map is concerned, since for actual pinned extents we use EXTENT_DIRTY, but it does mean that when we unmount we have to go in and unlock those extents to keep from leaking memory. I've also added a check where when we are reading block groups from disk, if the amount of space used == the size of the block group, we go ahead and mark the block group as cached. This drastically reduces the amount of time it takes to cache the block groups. Using the same test as above, except doing a dd to a file and then unmounting, it used to take 33 seconds to umount, now it takes 3 seconds. This version uses the commit_root in the caching kthread, and then keeps track of how many async caching threads are running at any given time so if one of the async threads is still running as we cross transactions we can wait until its finished before handling the pinned extents.

2009-07-02Btrfs: update backrefs while dropping snapshotYan Zheng
The new backref format has restriction on type of backref item. If a tree block isn't referenced by its owner tree, full backrefs must be used for the pointers in it. When a tree block loses its owner tree's reference, backrefs for the pointers in it should be updated to full backrefs. Current btrfs_drop_snapshot misses the code that updates backrefs, so it's unsafe for general use. This patch adds backrefs update code to btrfs_drop_snapshot. It isn't a problem in the restricted form btrfs_drop_snapshot is used today, but for general snapshot deletion this update is required.

2009-06-10Btrfs: Mixed back reference (FORWARD ROLLING FORMAT CHANGE)Yan Zheng
This commit introduces a new kind of back reference for btrfs metadata. Once a filesystem has been mounted with this commit, IT WILL NO LONGER BE MOUNTABLE BY OLDER KERNELS. When a tree block in subvolume tree is cow'd, the reference counts of all extents it points to are increased by one. At transaction commit time, the old root of the subvolume is recorded in a "dead root" data structure, and the btree it points to is later walked, dropping reference counts and freeing any blocks where the reference count goes to 0. The increments done during cow and decrements done after commit cancel out, and the walk is a very expensive way to go about freeing the blocks that are no longer referenced by the new btree root. This commit reduces the transaction overhead by avoiding the need for dead root records. When a non-shared tree block is cow'd, we free the old block at once, and the new block inherits old block's references. When a tree block with reference count > 1 is cow'd, we increase the reference counts of all extents the new block points to by one, and decrease the old block's reference count by one. This dead tree avoidance code removes the need to modify the reference counts of lower level extents when a non-shared tree block is cow'd. But we still need to update back ref for all pointers in the block. This is because the location of the block is recorded in the back ref item. We can solve this by introducing a new type of back ref. The new back ref provides information about pointer's key, level and in which tree the pointer lives. This information allow us to find the pointer by searching the tree. The shortcoming of the new back ref is that it only works for pointers in tree blocks referenced by their owner trees. This is mostly a problem for snapshots, where resolving one of these fuzzy back references would be O(number_of_snapshots) and quite slow. The solution used here is to use the fuzzy back references in the common case where a given tree block is only referenced by one root, and use the full back references when multiple roots have a reference on a given block. This commit adds per subvolume red-black tree to keep trace of cached inodes. The red-black tree helps the balancing code to find cached inodes whose inode numbers within a given range. This commit improves the balancing code by introducing several data structures to keep the state of balancing. The most important one is the back ref cache. It caches how the upper level tree blocks are referenced. This greatly reduce the overhead of checking back ref. The improved balancing code scales significantly better with a large number of snapshots. This is a very large commit and was written in a number of pieces. But, they depend heavily on the disk format change and were squashed together to make sure git bisect didn't end up in a bad state wrt space balancing or the format change.

2009-04-24Btrfs: fix deadlocks and stalls on dead root removalChris Mason
After a transaction commit, the old root of the subvol btrees are sent through snapshot removal. This is what actually frees up any blocks replaced by COW, and anything the old blocks pointed to. Snapshot deletion will pause when a transaction commit has started, which helps to avoid a huge amount of delayed reference count updates piling up as the transaction is trying to close. But, this pause happens after the snapshot deletion process has asked other procs on the system to throttle back a bit so that it can make progress. We don't want to throttle everyone while we're waiting for the transaction commit, it leads to deadlocks in the user transaction ioctls used by Ceph and makes things slower in general. This patch changes things to avoid the throttling while we sleep. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-04-02Btrfs: add flushoncommit mount optionSage Weil
The 'flushoncommit' mount option forces any data dirtied by a write in a prior transaction to commit as part of the current commit. This makes the committed state a fully consistent view of the file system from the application's perspective (i.e., it includes all completed file system operations). This was previously the behavior only when a snapshot is created. This is used by Ceph to ensure that completed writes make it to the platter along with the metadata operations they are bound to (by BTRFS_IOC_TRANS_{START,END}).

2009-04-03Btrfs: rework allocation clusteringChris Mason
Because btrfs is copy-on-write, we end up picking new locations for blocks very often. This makes it fairly difficult to maintain perfect read patterns over time, but we can at least do some optimizations for writes. This is done today by remembering the last place we allocated and trying to find a free space hole big enough to hold more than just one allocation. The end result is that we tend to write sequentially to the drive. This happens all the time for metadata and it happens for data when mounted -o ssd. But, the way we record it is fairly racey and it tends to fragment the free space over time because we are trying to allocate fairly large areas at once. This commit gets rid of the races by adding a free space cluster object with dedicated locking to make sure that only one process at a time is out replacing the cluster. The free space fragmentation is somewhat solved by allowing a cluster to be comprised of smaller free space extents. This part definitely adds some CPU time to the cluster allocations, but it allows the allocator to consume the small holes left behind by cow. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-03-31Btrfs: add extra flushing for renames and truncatesChris Mason
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.

2009-03-24Btrfs: Only let very young transactions grow during commitChris Mason
Commits are fairly expensive, and so btrfs has code to sit around for a while during the commit and let new writers come in. But, while we're sitting there, new delayed refs might be added, and those can be expensive to process as well. Unless the transaction is very very young, it makes sense to go ahead and let the commit finish without hanging around. The commit grow loop isn't as important as it used to be, the fsync logging code handles most performance critical syncs now. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-03-24Btrfs: reduce stalls during transaction commitChris Mason
To avoid deadlocks and reduce latencies during some critical operations, some transaction writers are allowed to jump into the running transaction and make it run a little longer, while others sit around and wait for the commit to finish. This is a bit unfair, especially when the callers that jump in do a bunch of IO that makes all the others procs on the box wait. This commit reduces the stalls this produces by pre-reading file extent pointers during btrfs_finish_ordered_io before the transaction is joined. It also tunes the drop_snapshot code to politely wait for transactions that have started writing out their delayed refs to finish. This avoids new delayed refs being flooded into the queue while we're trying to close off the transaction. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-03-24Btrfs: process the delayed reference queue in clustersChris Mason
The delayed reference queue maintains pending operations that need to be done to the extent allocation tree. These are processed by finding records in the tree that are not currently being processed one at a time. This is slow because it uses lots of time searching through the rbtree and because it creates lock contention on the extent allocation tree when lots of different procs are running delayed refs at the same time. This commit changes things to grab a cluster of refs for processing, using a cursor into the rbtree as the starting point of the next search. This way we walk smoothly through the rbtree.

2009-03-24Btrfs: do extent allocation and reference count updates in the backgroundChris Mason
The extent allocation tree maintains a reference count and full back reference information for every extent allocated in the filesystem. For subvolume and snapshot trees, every time a block goes through COW, the new copy of the block adds a reference on every block it points to. If a btree node points to 150 leaves, then the COW code needs to go and add backrefs on 150 different extents, which might be spread all over the extent allocation tree. These updates currently happen during btrfs_cow_block, and most COWs happen during btrfs_search_slot. btrfs_search_slot has locks held on both the parent and the node we are COWing, and so we really want to avoid IO during the COW if we can. This commit adds an rbtree of pending reference count updates and extent allocations. The tree is ordered by byte number of the extent and byte number of the parent for the back reference. The tree allows us to: 1) Modify back references in something close to disk order, reducing seeks 2) Significantly reduce the number of modifications made as block pointers are balanced around 3) Do all of the extent insertion and back reference modifications outside of the performance critical btrfs_search_slot code. #3 has the added benefit of greatly reducing the btrfs stack footprint. The extent allocation tree modifications are done without the deep (and somewhat recursive) call chains used in the past. These delayed back reference updates must be done before the transaction commits, and so the rbtree is tied to the transaction. Throttling is implemented to help keep the queue of backrefs at a reasonable size. Since there was a similar mechanism in place for the extent tree extents, that is removed and replaced by the delayed reference tree.

2009-03-24Btrfs: don't preallocate metadata blocks during btrfs_search_slotChris Mason
In order to avoid doing expensive extent management with tree locks held, btrfs_search_slot will preallocate tree blocks for use by COW without any tree locks held. A later commit moves all of the extent allocation work for COW into a delayed update mechanism, and this preallocation will no longer be required. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

2009-01-06Btrfs: Use btrfs_join_transaction to avoid deadlocks during snapshot creationYan Zheng
Snapshot creation happens at a specific time during transaction commit. We need to make sure the code called by snapshot creation doesn't wait for the running transaction to commit. This changes btrfs_delete_inode and finish_pending_snaps to use btrfs_join_transaction instead of btrfs_start_transaction to avoid deadlocks. It would be better if btrfs_delete_inode didn't use the join, but the call path that triggers it is: btrfs_commit_transaction->create_pending_snapshots-> create_pending_snapshot->btrfs_lookup_dentry-> fixup_tree_root_location->btrfs_read_fs_root-> btrfs_read_fs_root_no_name->btrfs_orphan_cleanup->iput This will be fixed in a later patch by moving the orphan cleanup to the cleaner thread.

2008-12-11Btrfs: fix leaking block group on balanceYan Zheng
The block group structs are referenced in many different places, and it's not safe to free while balancing. So, those block group structs were simply leaked instead. This patch replaces the block group pointer in the inode with the starting byte offset of the block group and adds reference counting to the block group struct.

2008-12-08Btrfs: superblock duplicationYan Zheng
This patch implements superblock duplication. Superblocks are stored at offset 16K, 64M and 256G on every devices. Spaces used by superblocks are preserved by the allocator, which uses a reverse mapping function to find the logical addresses that correspond to superblocks.

2008-11-17Btrfs: Add backrefs and forward refs for subvols and snapshotsChris Mason
Subvols and snapshots can now be referenced from any point in the directory tree. We need to maintain back refs for them so we can find lost subvols. Forward refs are added so that we know all of the subvols and snapshots referenced anywhere in the directory tree of a single subvol. This can be used to do recursive snapshotting (but they aren't yet) and it is also used to detect and prevent directory loops when creating new snapshots.

2008-11-17Btrfs: Give each subvol and snapshot their own anonymous devidChris Mason
Each subvolume has its own private inode number space, and so we need to fill in different device numbers for each subvolume to avoid confusing applications. This commit puts a struct super_block into struct btrfs_root so it can call set_anon_super() and get a different device number generated for each root. btrfs_rename is changed to prevent renames across subvols.

2008-11-17Btrfs: Allow subvolumes and snapshots anywhere in the directory treeChris Mason
Before, all snapshots and subvolumes lived in a single flat directory. This was awkward and confusing because the single flat directory was only writable with the ioctls. This commit changes the ioctls to create subvols and snapshots at any point in the directory tree. This requires making separate ioctls for snapshot and subvol creation instead of a combining them into one. The subvol ioctl does: btrfsctl -S subvol_name parent_dir After the ioctl is done subvol_name lives inside parent_dir. The snapshot ioctl does: btrfsctl -s path_for_snapshot root_to_snapshot path_for_snapshot can be an absolute or relative path. btrfsctl breaks it up into directory and basename components. root_to_snapshot can be any file or directory in the FS. The snapshot is taken of the entire root where that file lives. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2008-11-07Btrfs: Avoid unplug storms during commitChris Mason
While doing a commit, btrfs makes sure all the metadata blocks were properly written to disk, calling wait_on_page_writeback for each page. This writeback happens after allowing another transaction to start, so it competes for the disk with other processes in the FS. If the page writeback bit is still set, each wait_on_page_writeback might trigger an unplug, even though the page might be waiting for checksumming to finish or might be waiting for the async work queue to submit the bio. This trades wait_on_page_writeback for waiting on the extent writeback bits. It won't trigger any unplugs and substantially improves performance in a number of workloads. This also changes the async bio submission to avoid requeueing if there is only one device. The requeue just wastes CPU time because there are no other devices to service.

2008-10-30Btrfs: prevent looping forever in finish_current_insert and del_pending_extentsChris Mason
finish_current_insert and del_pending_extents process extent tree modifications that build up while we are changing the extent tree. It is a confusing bit of code that prevents recursion. Both functions run through a list of pending operations and both funcs add to the list of pending operations. If you have two procs in either one of them, they can end up looping forever making more work for each other. This patch makes them walk forward through the list of pending changes instead of always trying to process the entire list. At transaction commit time, we catch any changes that were left over.
