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.

The tree logging code allows individual files or directories to be logged
without including operations on other files and directories in the FS.
It tries to commit the minimal set of changes to disk in order to
fsync the single file or directory that was sent to fsync or O_SYNC.
The tree logging code was allowing files and directories to be unlinked
if they were part of a rename operation where only one directory
in the rename was in the fsync log. This patch adds a few new rules
to the tree logging.
1) on rename or unlink, if the inode being unlinked isn't in the fsync
log, we must force a full commit before doing an fsync of the directory
where the unlink was done. The commit isn't done during the unlink,
but it is forced the next time we try to log the parent directory.
Solution: record transid of last unlink/rename per directory when the
directory wasn't already logged. For renames this is only done when
renaming to a different directory.
mkdir foo/some_dir
normal commit
rename foo/some_dir foo2/some_dir
mkdir foo/some_dir
fsync foo/some_dir/some_file
The fsync above will unlink the original some_dir without recording
it in its new location (foo2). After a crash, some_dir will be gone
unless the fsync of some_file forces a full commit
2) we must log any new names for any file or dir that is in the fsync
log. This way we make sure not to lose files that are unlinked during
the same transaction.
2a) we must log any new names for any file or dir during rename
when the directory they are being removed from was logged.
2a is actually the more important variant. Without the extra logging
a crash might unlink the old name without recreating the new one
3) after a crash, we must go through any directories with a link count
of zero and redo the rm -rf
mkdir f1/foo
normal commit
rm -rf f1/foo
fsync(f1)
The directory f1 was fully removed from the FS, but fsync was never
called on f1, only its parent dir. After a crash the rm -rf must
be replayed. This must be able to recurse down the entire
directory tree. The inode link count fixup code takes care of the
ugly details.

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.

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.

This is a step in the direction of better -ENOSPC handling. Instead of
checking the global bytes counter we check the space_info bytes counters to
make sure we have enough space.
If we don't we go ahead and try to allocate a new chunk, and then if that fails
we return -ENOSPC. This patch adds two counters to btrfs_space_info,
bytes_delalloc and bytes_may_use.
bytes_delalloc account for extents we've actually setup for delalloc and will
be allocated at some point down the line.
bytes_may_use is to keep track of how many bytes we may use for delalloc at
some point. When we actually set the extent_bit for the delalloc bytes we
subtract the reserved bytes from the bytes_may_use counter. This keeps us from
not actually being able to allocate space for any delalloc bytes.

To improve performance, btrfs_sync_log merges tree log sync
requests. But it wrongly merges sync requests for different
tree logs. If multiple tree logs are synced at the same time,
only one of them actually gets synced.
This patch has following changes to fix the bug:
Move most tree log related fields in btrfs_fs_info to
btrfs_root. This allows merging sync requests separately
for each tree log.
Don't insert root item into the log root tree immediately
after log tree is allocated. Root item for log tree is
inserted when log tree get synced for the first time. This
allows syncing the log root tree without first syncing all
log trees.
At tree-log sync, btrfs_sync_log first sync the log tree;
then updates corresponding root item in the log root tree;
sync the log root tree; then update the super block.

Checksums on data can be disabled by mount option, so it's
possible some data extents don't have checksums or have
invalid checksums. This causes trouble for data relocation.
This patch contains following things to make data relocation
work.
1) make nodatasum/nodatacow mount option only affects new
files. Checksums and COW on data are only controlled by the
inode flags.
2) check the existence of checksum in the nodatacow checker.
If checksums exist, force COW the data extent. This ensure that
checksum for a given block is either valid or does not exist.
3) update data relocation code to properly handle the case
of checksum missing.

This adds a sequence number to the btrfs inode that is increased on

Puts reserved space into the super block and inode
Adds a log root transid to the super so we can pick the newest super
based on the fsync log as well as the main transaction ID. For now
the log root transid is always zero, but that'll get fixed.
Adds a starting offset to the dev_item. This will let us do better

When extent needs to be split, btrfs_mark_extent_written truncates the extent

btrfs_drop_extents will drop paths and search again when it needs to

But, this wasn't always correct. The key could be from before our desired
range, and because we're dropping the path, it is possible for file's items
to change while we do the search again.

When reading compressed extents, try to put pages into the page cache
for any pages covered by the compressed extent that readpages didn't already
preload.
Add an async work queue to handle transformations at delayed allocation processing
time. Right now this is just compression. The workflow is:
1) Find offsets in the file marked for delayed allocation
2) Lock the pages
3) Lock the state bits
4) Call the async delalloc code
The async delalloc code clears the state lock bits and delalloc bits. It is
important this happens before the range goes into the work queue because
otherwise it might deadlock with other work queue items that try to lock
those extent bits.
The file pages are compressed, and if the compression doesn't work the
pages are written back directly.
An ordered work queue is used to make sure the inodes are written in the same
order that pdflush or writepages sent them down.
This changes extent_write_cache_pages to let the writepage function
update the wbc nr_written count.

Make sure we keep page->mapping NULL on the pages we're getting

Don't try to truncate compressed inline items in btrfs_drop_extents.
The whole compressed item must be preserved.
Don't try to create multipage inline compressed items. When we try to
overwrite just the first page of the file, we would have to read in and recow
all the pages after it in the same compressed inline items. For now, only
create single page inline items.
Make sure we lock pages in the correct order during delalloc. The
search into the state tree for delalloc bytes can return bytes before
the page we already have locked.

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.

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
