Btrfs: search for an allocation hint while filling file COW

2009-09-18T20:08:52Z

The allocator has some nice knobs for sending hints about where to try and allocate new blocks, but when we're doing file allocations we're not sending any hint at all. This commit adds a simple extent map search to see if we can quickly and easily find a hint for the allocator. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason

Btrfs: Fix extent replacment race

2009-09-11T17:31:07Z

Data COW means that whenever we write to a file, we replace any old extent pointers with new ones. There was a window where a readpage might find the old extent pointers on disk and cache them in the extent_map tree in ram in the middle of a given write replacing them. Even though both the readpage and the write had their respective bytes in the file locked, the extent readpage inserts may cover more bytes than it had locked down. This commit closes the race by keeping the new extent pinned in the extent map tree until after the on-disk btree is properly setup with the new extent pointers. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason

Btrfs: switch extent_map to a rw lock

2009-09-11T17:31:05Z

There are two main users of the extent_map tree. The first is regular file inodes, where it is evenly spread between readers and writers. The second is the chunk allocation tree, which maps blocks from logical addresses to phyiscal ones, and it is 99.99% reads. The mapping tree is a point of lock contention during heavy IO workloads, so this commit switches things to a rw lock. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason

Btrfs: Fix csum error for compressed data

2008-11-10T12:34:43Z

The decompress code doesn't take the logical offset in extent pointer into account. If the logical offset isn't zero, data will be decompressed into wrong pages. The solution used here is to record the starting offset of the extent in the file separately from the logical start of the extent_map struct. This allows us to avoid problems inserting overlapping extents. Signed-off-by: Yan Zheng

Btrfs: Add fallocate support v2

2008-10-30T18:25:28Z

This patch updates btrfs-progs for fallocate support. fallocate is a little different in Btrfs because we need to tell the COW system that a given preallocated extent doesn't need to be cow'd as long as there are no snapshots of it. This leverages the -o nodatacow checks. Signed-off-by: Yan Zheng

Btrfs: update hole handling v2

2008-10-30T18:19:41Z

This patch splits the hole insertion code out of btrfs_setattr into btrfs_cont_expand and updates btrfs_get_extent to properly handle the case that file extent items are not continuous. Signed-off-by: Yan Zheng

Btrfs: Add zlib compression support

2008-10-29T18:49:59Z

This is a large change for adding compression on reading and writing, both for inline and regular extents. It does some fairly large surgery to the writeback paths. Compression is off by default and enabled by mount -o compress. Even when the -o compress mount option is not used, it is possible to read compressed extents off the disk. If compression for a given set of pages fails to make them smaller, the file is flagged to avoid future compression attempts later. * While finding delalloc extents, the pages are locked before being sent down to the delalloc handler. This allows the delalloc handler to do complex things such as cleaning the pages, marking them writeback and starting IO on their behalf. * Inline extents are inserted at delalloc time now. This allows us to compress the data before inserting the inline extent, and it allows us to insert an inline extent that spans multiple pages. * All of the in-memory extent representations (extent_map.c, ordered-data.c etc) are changed to record both an in-memory size and an on disk size, as well as a flag for compression. From a disk format point of view, the extent pointers in the file are changed to record the on disk size of a given extent and some encoding flags. Space in the disk format is allocated for compression encoding, as well as encryption and a generic 'other' field. Neither the encryption or the 'other' field are currently used. In order to limit the amount of data read for a single random read in the file, the size of a compressed extent is limited to 128k. This is a software only limit, the disk format supports u64 sized compressed extents. In order to limit the ram consumed while processing extents, the uncompressed size of a compressed extent is limited to 256k. This is a software only limit and will be subject to tuning later. Checksumming is still done on compressed extents, and it is done on the uncompressed version of the data. This way additional encodings can be layered on without having to figure out which encoding to checksum. Compression happens at delalloc time, which is basically singled threaded because it is usually done by a single pdflush thread. This makes it tricky to spread the compression load across all the cpus on the box. We'll have to look at parallel pdflush walks of dirty inodes at a later time. Decompression is hooked into readpages and it does spread across CPUs nicely. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason

Btrfs: Fix some data=ordered related data corruptions

2008-09-25T15:04:05Z

Stress testing was showing data checksum errors, most of which were caused by a lookup bug in the extent_map tree. The tree was caching the last pointer returned, and searches would check the last pointer first. But, search callers also expect the search to return the very first matching extent in the range, which wasn't always true with the last pointer usage. For now, the code to cache the last return value is just removed. It is easy to fix, but I think lookups are rare enough that it isn't required anymore. This commit also replaces do_sync_mapping_range with a local copy of the related functions. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason

Btrfs: Keep extent mappings in ram until pending ordered extents are done

2008-09-25T15:04:05Z

It was possible for stale mappings from disk to be used instead of the new pending ordered extent. This adds a flag to the extent map struct to keep it pinned until the pending ordered extent is actually on disk. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason

Btrfs: Split the extent_map code into two parts

2008-09-25T15:03:59Z

There is now extent_map for mapping offsets in the file to disk and extent_io for state tracking, IO submission and extent_bufers. The new extent_map code shifts from [start,end] pairs to [start,len], and pushes the locking out into the caller. This allows a few performance optimizations and is easier to use. A number of extent_map usage bugs were fixed, mostly with failing to remove extent_map entries when changing the file. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason
