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.

2009-07-22Btrfs: make sure all dirty blocks are written at commit timeYan Zheng
Write dirty block groups may allocate new block, and so may add new delayed back ref. btrfs_run_delayed_refs may make some block groups dirty. commit_cowonly_roots does not handle the recursion properly, and some dirty blocks can be left unwritten at commit time. This patch moves btrfs_run_delayed_refs into the loop that writes dirty block groups, and makes the code not break out of the loop until there are no dirty block groups or delayed back refs.

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. Yan Zheng <yan.zheng@oracle.com> helped review and fixup this code. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-03-24Btrfs: don't preallocate metadata blocks during btrfs_search_slotChris Mason

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.

2008-11-17Btrfs: Add backrefs and forward refs for subvols and snapshotsChris Mason

Forward refs are added so that we know all of the subvols and snapshots referenced anywhere in the directory tree of a single subvol.

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.

Both functions run through a list of pending operations and both funcs add to the list of pending operations.

2008-10-29Btrfs: nuke fs wide allocation mutex V2Josef Bacik
This patch removes the giant fs_info->alloc_mutex and replaces it with a bunch of little locks. There is now a pinned_mutex, which is used when messing with the pinned_extents extent io tree, and the extent_ins_mutex which is used with the pending_del and extent_ins extent io trees. The locking for the extent tree stuff was inspired by a patch that Yan Zheng wrote to fix a race condition, I cleaned it up some and changed the locking around a little bit, but the idea remains the same. Basically instead of holding the extent_ins_mutex throughout the processing of an extent on the extent_ins or pending_del trees, we just hold it while we're searching and when we clear the bits on those trees, and lock the extent for the duration of the operations on the extent. Also to keep from getting hung up waiting to lock an extent, I've added a try_lock_extent so if we cannot lock the extent, move on to the next one in the tree and we'll come back to that one. I have tested this heavily and it does not appear to break anything. This has to be applied on top of my find_free_extent redo patch. I tested this patch on top of Yan's space reblancing code and it worked fine. The only thing that has changed since the last version is I pulled out all my debugging stuff, apparently I forgot to run guilt refresh before I sent the last patch out.

2008-09-26Btrfs: update space balancing codeZheng Yan
This patch updates the space balancing code to utilize the new backref format. Before, btrfs-vol -b would break any COW links on data blocks or metadata. This was slow and caused the amount of space used to explode if a large number of snapshots were present. The new code can keeps the sharing of all data extents and most of the tree blocks. To maintain the sharing of data extents, the space balance code uses a seperate inode hold data extent pointers, then updates the references to point to the new location. To maintain the sharing of tree blocks, the space balance code uses reloc trees to relocate tree blocks in reference counted roots. There is one reloc tree for each subvol, and all reloc trees share same root key objectid. Reloc trees are snapshots of the latest committed roots of subvols (root->commit_root). To relocate a tree block referenced by a subvol, there are two steps. COW the block through subvol's reloc tree, then update block pointer in the subvol to point to the new block. Since all reloc trees share same root key objectid, doing special handing for tree blocks owned by them is easy. Once a tree block has been COWed in one reloc tree, we can use the resulting new block directly when the same block is required to COW again through other reloc trees. In this way, relocated tree blocks are shared between reloc trees, so they are also shared between subvols. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

* Pin down data blocks to prevent them from being reallocated like so: trans 1: allocate file extent trans 2: free file extent trans 3: free file extent during old snapshot deletion trans 3: allocate file extent to new file trans 3: fsync new file Before the tree logging code, this was legal because the fsync would commit the transation that did the final data extent free and the transaction that allocated the extent to the new file at the same time. With the tree logging code, the tree log subtransaction can commit before the transaction that freed the extent. If we crash, we're left with two different files using the extent. * Don't wait in start_transaction if log replay is going on. This avoids deadlocks from iput while we're cleaning up link counts in the replay code. * Don't deadlock in replay_one_name by trying to read an inode off the disk while holding paths for the directory * Hold the buffer lock while we mark a buffer as written.

2008-09-25Btrfs: Wait for async bio submissions to make some progress at queue timeChris Mason
Before, the btrfs bdi congestion function was used to test for too many async bios. This keeps that check to throttle pdflush, but also adds a check while queuing bios. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2008-09-25Btrfs: Transaction commit: don't use filemap_fdatawaitChris Mason
After writing out all the remaining btree blocks in the transaction, the commit code would use filemap_fdatawait to make sure it was all on disk. This means it would wait for blocks written by other procs as well. The new code walks the list of blocks for this transaction again and waits only for those required by this transaction.

2008-09-25Btrfs: fix ioctl-initiated transactions vs wait_current_trans()Sage Weil
Commit 597:466b27332893 (btrfs_start_transaction: wait for commits in progress) breaks the transaction start/stop ioctls by making btrfs_start_transaction conditionally wait for the next transaction to start. If an application artificially is holding a transaction open, things deadlock. This workaround maintains a count of open ioctl-initiated transactions in fs_info, and avoids wait_current_trans() if any are currently open (in start_transaction() and btrfs_throttle()). The start transaction ioctl uses a new btrfs_start_ioctl_transaction() that _does_ call wait_current_trans(), effectively pushing the join/wait decision to the outer ioctl-initiated transaction. This more or less neuters btrfs_throttle() when ioctl-initiated transactions are in use, but that seems like a pretty fundamental consequence of wrapping lots of write()'s in a transaction. Btrfs has no way to tell if the application considers a given operation as part of it's transaction. Obviously, if the transaction start/stop ioctls aren't being used, there is no effect on current behavior.

2008-09-25Btrfs: More throttle tuningChris Mason
* Make walk_down_tree wake up throttled tasks more often * Make walk_down_tree call cond_resched during long loops * As the size of the ref cache grows, wait longer in throttle * Get rid of the reada code in walk_down_tree, the leaves don't get read anymore, thanks to the ref cache.

2008-09-25btrfs_search_slot: reduce lock contention by cowing in two stagesChris Mason
A btree block cow has two parts, the first is to allocate a destination block and the second is to copy the old bock over. The first part needs locks in the extent allocation tree, and may need to do IO. This changeset splits that into a separate function that can be called without any tree locks held. btrfs_search_slot is changed to drop its path and start over if it has to COW a contended block. This often means that many writers will pre-alloc a new destination for a the same contended block, but they cache their prealloc for later use on lower levels in the tree.

2008-09-25Btrfs: Throttle tuningChris Mason
This avoids waiting for transactions with pages locked by breaking out the code to wait for the current transaction to close into a function called by btrfs_throttle. It also lowers the limits for where we start throttling. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
