Add a for_cow parameter to add_delayed_*_ref and pass the appropriate value
from every call site. The for_cow parameter will later on be used to
determine if a ref will change anything with respect to qgroups.
Delayed refs coming from relocation are always counted as for_cow, as they
don't change subvol quota.
Also pass in the fs_info for later use.
btrfs_find_all_roots() will use this as an optimization, as changes that are
for_cow will not change anything with respect to which root points to a
certain leaf. Thus, we don't need to add the current sequence number to
those delayed refs.

The btrfs snapshotting code requires that once a root has been
snapshotted, we don't change it during a commit.
But there are two cases to lead to tree corruptions:
1) multi-thread snapshots can commit serveral snapshots in a transaction,
and this may change the src root when processing the following pending
snapshots, which lead to the former snapshots corruptions;
2) the free inode cache was changing the roots when it root the cache,
which lead to corruptions.
This fixes things by making sure we force COW the block after we create a
snapshot during commiting a transaction, then any changes to the roots
will result in COW, and we get all the fs roots and snapshot roots to be
consistent.

Before the reader/writer locks, btrfs_next_leaf needed to keep

The btrfs metadata btree is the source of significant
lock contention, especially in the root node. This
commit changes our locking to use a reader/writer
lock.
The lock is built on top of rw spinlocks, and it
extends the lock tracking to remember if we have a
read lock or a write lock when we go to blocking. Atomics
count the number of blocking readers or writers at any
given time.
It removes all of the adaptive spinning from the old code
and uses only the spinning/blocking hints inside of btrfs
to decide when it should continue spinning.
In read heavy workloads this is dramatically faster. In write
heavy workloads we're still faster because of less contention
on the root node lock.
We suffer slightly in dbench because we schedule more often
during write locks, but all other benchmarks so far are improved.

The extent_buffers have a very complex interface where
we use HIGHMEM for metadata and try to cache a kmap mapping

Arne's scrub stuff exposed a problem with mapping the extent buffer in
reada_for_search. He searches the commit root with multiple threads and with
skip_locking set, so we can race and overwrite node->map_token since node isn't
locked. So fix this so that we only map the extent buffer if we don't already
have a map_token and skip_locking isn't set. Without this patch scrub would
panic almost immediately, with the patch it doesn't panic anymore. Thanks,

Our readahead is sort of sloppy, and really isn't always needed. For example if
ls is doing a stating ls (which is the default) it's going to stat in non-disk
order, so if say you have a directory with a stupid amount of files, readahead
is going to do nothing but waste time in the case of doing the stat. Taking the
unconditional readahead out made my test go from 57 minutes to 36 minutes. This
means that everywhere we do loop through the tree we want to make sure we do set
path->reada properly, so I went through and found all of the places where we
loop through the path and set reada to 1. Thanks,

- Modify the patch address David Sterba's comment.
- Fix the bug of the cpu recursion spinlock, reported by Chris Mason
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%.

5) sync:
btrfs_sync_file
btrfs_sync_fs
These show sync arguments.
6) transaction:

Hi,
In fs/btrfs/inode.c::fixup_tree_root_location() we have this code:
...
if (!path) {
err = -ENOMEM;
goto out;
}
...
out:
btrfs_free_path(path);
return err;
btrfs_free_path() passes its argument on to other functions and some of
them end up dereferencing the pointer.
In the code above that pointer is clearly NULL, so btrfs_free_path() will
eventually cause a NULL dereference.
There are many ways to cut this cake (fix the bug). The one I chose was to
make btrfs_free_path() deal gracefully with NULL pointers. If you
disagree, feel free to come up with an alternative patch.

setup_leaf_for_split needs to drop the path and search again, and has
checks to see if the item we want to split changed size. But, it misses
the case where the leaf changed and now has enough room for the item
we want to insert.
This adds an extra check to make sure the leaf really needs splitting
before we call btrfs_split_leaf(), which keeps us from trying to split
a leaf with a single item.
btrfs_split_leaf() will blindly split the single item leaf, leaving us
with one good leaf and one empty leaf and then a crash.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

When a btrfs metadata read fails, the first thing we try to do is find
a good copy on another mirror of the block. If this fails, read_tree_block()
ends up returning a buffer that isn't up to date.
The btrfs btree reading code was reworked to drop locks and repeat
the search when IO was done, but the changes didn't add a check for failed
reads. The end result was looping forever on buffers that were never
going to become up to date.

reada_for_balance was using the wrong index into the path node array,
so it wasn't reading the right blocks. We never directly used the
results of the read done by this function because the btree search is
started over at the end.
This fixes reada_for_balance to reada in the correct node and to
avoid searching past the last slot in the node. It also makes sure to
hold the parent lock while we are finding the nodes to read.

btrfs_next_leaf was using blocking locks when it could have been using
faster spinning ones instead. This adds a few extra checks around
the pieces that block and switches over to spinning locks.

The delayed reference mechanism is responsible for all updates to the
extent allocation trees, including those updates created while processing
the delayed references.
This commit tries to limit the amount of work that gets created during
the final run of delayed refs before a commit. It avoids cowing new blocks
unless it is required to finish the commit, and so it avoids new allocations
that were not really required.
The goal is to avoid infinite loops where we are always making more work
on the final run of delayed refs. Over the long term we'll make a
special log for the last delayed ref updates as well.

btrfs_mark_buffer dirty would set dirty bits in the extent_io tree
for the buffers it was dirtying. This may require a kmalloc and it
was not atomic. So, anyone who called btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty had to
set any btree locks they were holding to blocking first.
This commit changes dirty tracking for extent buffers to just use a flag
in the extent buffer. Now that we have one and only one extent buffer
per page, this can be safely done without losing dirty bits along the way.
This also introduces a path->leave_spinning flag that callers of
btrfs_search_slot can use to indicate they will properly deal with a
path returned where all the locks are spinning instead of blocking.
Many of the btree search callers now expect spinning paths,
resulting in better btree concurrency overall.

Many of the tree balancing functions follow the same pattern.
1) cow a block
2) do something to the result
This commit breaks them up into two functions so the variables and
code required for part two don't suck down stack during part one.
