2009-07-24Btrfs: find smallest available device extent during chunk allocationChris Mason
Allocating new block group is easy when the disk has plenty of space. But things get difficult as the disk fills up, especially if the FS has been run through btrfs-vol -b. The balance operation is likely to make the total bytes available on the device greater than the largest extent we'll actually be able to allocate. But the device extent allocation code incorrectly assumes that a device with 5G free will be able to allocate a 5G extent. It isn't normally a problem because device extents don't get freed unless btrfs-vol -b is run. This fixes the device extent allocator to remember the largest free extent it can find, and then uses that value as a fallback. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-07-24Btrfs: clear all space_info->full after removing a block groupChris Mason
Btrfs allocates individual extents from block groups, and each block group has a specific type. It may hold metadata, data mirrored or striped etc. When we balance space (btrfs-vol -b) or remove a drive (btrfs-vol -r) we free block groups. Once a block group is freed, the space it was using on the device may be available for use by new block groups. btrfs_remove_block_group was clearing the flag that said 'our devices are full, don't even try to allocate new block groups', but it was only clearing that flag for a specific type of block group. This commit clears the full flag for all of the types of block groups, making it much more likely that we'll be able to balance space when the drive is close to full.

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: Avoid delayed reference update loopingYan Zheng
btrfs_split_leaf and btrfs_del_items can end up in a loop where one is constantly spliting a given leaf and the other is constantly merging it back with the adjacent nodes. There is a better fix for this, but in the interest of something small, this patch just changes btrfs_del_items back to balancing less often. 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.

2009-07-24Btrfs: use hybrid extents+bitmap rb tree for free spaceJosef Bacik
Currently btrfs has a problem where it can use a ridiculous amount of RAM simply tracking free space. As free space gets fragmented, we end up with thousands of entries on an rb-tree per block group, which usually spans 1 gig of area. Since we currently don't ever flush free space cache back to disk this gets to be a bit unweildly on large fs's with lots of fragmentation. This patch solves this problem by using PAGE_SIZE bitmaps for parts of the free space cache. Initially we calculate a threshold of extent entries we can handle, which is however many extent entries we can cram into 16k of ram. The maximum amount of RAM that should ever be used to track 1 gigabyte of diskspace will be 32k of RAM, which scales much better than we did before. Once we pass the extent threshold, we start adding bitmaps and using those instead for tracking the free space. This patch also makes it so that any free space thats less than 4 * sectorsize we go ahead and put into a bitmap. This is nice since we try and allocate out of the front of a block group, so if the front of a block group is heavily fragmented and then has a huge chunk of free space at the end, we go ahead and add the fragmented areas to bitmaps and use a normal extent entry to track the big chunk at the back of the block group. I've also taken the opportunity to revamp how we search for free space. Previously we indexed free space via an offset indexed rb tree and a bytes indexed rb tree. I've dropped the bytes indexed rb tree and use only the offset indexed rb tree. This cuts the number of tree operations we were doing previously down by half, and gives us a little bit of a better allocation pattern since we will always start from a specific offset and search forward from there, instead of searching for the size we need and try and get it as close as possible to the offset we want. I've given this a healthy amount of testing pre-new format stuff, as well as post-new format stuff. I've booted up my fedora box which is installed on btrfs with this patch and ran with it for a few days without issues. I've not seen any performance regressions in any of my tests. Since the last patch Yan Zheng fixed a problem where we could have overlapping entries, so updating their offset inline would cause problems.

2009-07-22Btrfs: Remove broken sanity check from btrfs_rmap_block()David Woodhouse
It was never actually doing anything anyway (see the loop condition), and it would be difficult to make it work for RAID[56]. Even if it was actually working, it's checking for the wrong thing anyway. Instead of checking whether we list a block which _doesn't_ land at the relevant physical location, it should be checking that we _have_ listed all the logical blocks which refer to the required physical location on all devices. This function is only called from remove_sb_from_cache() to ensure that we reserve the logical blocks which would reside at the same physical location as the superblock copies. So listing more blocks than we need is actually OK. With RAID[56] we're going to throw away an entire stripe for each block we have to ignore, so we _are_ going to list blocks other than the ones which actually contain the superblock.

2009-07-22Btrfs: fix locking issue in btrfs_find_next_keyYan Zheng
When walking up the tree, btrfs_find_next_key assumes the upper level tree block is properly locked. This isn't always true even path->keep_locks is 1. This is because btrfs_find_next_key may advance path->slots[] several times instead of only once. When 'path->slots[level] >= btrfs_header_nritems(path->nodes[level])' is found, we can't guarantee the original value of 'path->slots[level]' is 'btrfs_header_nritems(path->nodes[level]) - 1'. If it's not, the tree block at 'level + 1' isn't locked. This patch fixes the issue by explicitly checking the locking state, re-searching the tree if it's not locked.

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: pin buffers during write_dev_supersHisashi Hifumi
write_dev_supers is called in sequence. First is it called with wait == 0, which starts IO on all of the super blocks for a given device. Then it is called with wait == 1 to make sure they all reach the disk. It doesn't currently pin the buffers between the two calls, and it also assumes the buffers won't go away between the two calls, leading to an oops if the VM manages to free the buffers in the middle of the sync.

2009-06-10Btrfs: avoid races between super writeout and device list updatesChris Mason
On multi-device filesystems, btrfs writes supers to all of the devices before considering a sync complete. There wasn't any additional locking between super writeout and the device list management code because device management was done inside a transaction and super writeout only happened with no transation writers running. With the btrfs fsync log and other async transaction updates, this has been racey for some time. This adds a mutex to protect the device list. The existing volume mutex could not be reused due to transaction lock ordering requirements. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

2009-06-10Btrfs: avoid IO stalls behind congested devices in a multi-device FSChris Mason
The btrfs IO submission threads try to service a bunch of devices with a small number of threads. They do a congestion check to try and avoid waiting on requests for a busy device. The checks make sure we've sent a few requests down to a given device just so that we aren't bouncing between busy devices without actually sending down any IO. The counter used to decide if we can switch to the next device is somewhat overloaded. It is also being used to decide if we've done a good batch of requests between the WRITE_SYNC or regular priority lists. It may get reset to zero often, leaving us hammering on a busy device instead of moving on to another disk. This commit adds a new counter for the number of bios sent while servicing a device. It doesn't get reset or fiddled with. On multi-device filesystems, this fixes IO stalls in streaming write workloads. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-06-10Btrfs: don't allow WRITE_SYNC bios to starve out regular writesChris Mason
Btrfs uses dedicated threads to submit bios when checksumming is on, which allows us to make sure the threads dedicated to checksumming don't get stuck waiting for requests. For each btrfs device, there are two lists of bios. One list is for WRITE_SYNC bios and the other is for regular priority bios. The IO submission threads used to process all of the WRITE_SYNC bios first and then switch to the regular bios. This commit makes sure we don't completely starve the regular bios by rotating between the two lists. WRITE_SYNC bios are still favored 2:1 over the regular bios, and this tries to run in batches to avoid seeking. Benchmarking shows this eliminates stalls during streaming buffered writes on both multi-device and single device filesystems. If the regular bios starve, the system can end up with a large amount of ram pinned down in writeback pages. If we are a little more fair between the two classes, we're able to keep throughput up and make progress on the bulk of our dirty ram. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

2009-06-10Btrfs: stop avoiding balancing at the end of the transaction.Chris Mason
When the delayed reference code was added, some checks were added to avoid extra balancing while the delayed references were being flushed. This made for less efficient btrees, but it reduced the chances of loops where no forward progress was made because the balances made more delayed ref updates. With the new dead root removal code and the mixed back references, the extent allocation tree is no longer using precise back refs, and the delayed reference updates don't carry the risk of looping forever anymore. So, the balance avoidance is no longer required. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
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.

2009-06-10btrfs: Fix set/clear_extent_bit for 'end == (u64)-1'Yan Zheng
There are some 'start = state->end + 1;' like code in set_extent_bit and clear_extent_bit. They overflow when end == (u64)-1. Signed-off-by: Yan Zheng <zheng.yan@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
