Btrfs: add waitqueue instead of doing busy waiting for more delayed refs

2012-01-04T15:12:48Z

Now that we may be holding back delayed refs for a limited period, we might end up having no runnable delayed refs. Without this commit, we'd do busy waiting in that thread until another (runnable) ref arives. Instead, we're detecting this situation and use a waitqueue, such that we only try to run more refs after a) another runnable ref was added or b) delayed refs are no longer held back Signed-off-by: Jan Schmidt

Btrfs: add sequence numbers to delayed refs

2012-01-04T15:12:42Z

Sequence numbers are needed to reconstruct the backrefs of a given extent to a certain point in time. The total set of backrefs consist of the set of backrefs recorded on disk plus the enqueued delayed refs for it that existed at that moment. This patch also adds a list that records all delayed refs which are currently in the process of being added. When walking all refs of an extent in btrfs_find_all_roots(), we freeze the current state of delayed refs, honor anythinh up to this point and prevent processing newer delayed refs to assert consistency.

Btrfs: always save ref_root in delayed refs

2011-12-22T15:22:28Z

For consistent backref walking and (later) qgroup calculation the information to which root a delayed ref belongs is useful even for shared refs. Signed-off-by: Arne Jansen Signed-off-by: Jan Schmidt

Btrfs: mark delayed refs as for cow

2011-12-22T15:22:27Z

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. Signed-off-by: Arne Jansen Signed-off-by: Jan Schmidt

Btrfs: Integrate metadata reservation with start_transaction

2010-05-25T14:34:50Z

Besides simplify the code, this change makes sure all metadata reservation for normal metadata operations are released after committing transaction. Changes since V1: Add code that check if unlink and rmdir will free space. Add ENOSPC handling for clone ioctl. Signed-off-by: Yan Zheng Signed-off-by: Chris Mason

Btrfs: Mixed back reference (FORWARD ROLLING FORMAT CHANGE)

2009-06-10T15:29:46Z

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.

Btrfs: make sure btrfs_update_delayed_ref doesn't increase ref_mod

2009-03-25T13:55:11Z

btrfs_update_delayed_ref is optimized to add and remove different references in one pass through the delayed ref tree. It is a zero sum on the total number of refs on a given extent. But, the code was recording an extra ref in the head node. This never made it down to the disk but was used when deciding if it was safe to free the extent while dropping snapshots. The fix used here is to make sure the ref_mod count is unchanged on the head ref when btrfs_update_delayed_ref is called. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason

Btrfs: process the delayed reference queue in clusters

2009-03-24T20:14:26Z

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.
