Pull btrfs fixes from Chris Mason:
"I've split out the big send/receive update from my last pull request
and now have just the fixes in my for-linus branch. The send/recv
branch will wander over to linux-next shortly though.
The largest patches in this pull are Josef's patches to fix DIO
locking problems and his patch to fix a crash during balance. They
are both well tested.
The rest are smaller fixes that we've had queued. The last rc came
out while I was hacking new and exciting ways to recover from a
misplaced rm -rf on my dev box, so these missed rc3."

Commit 442a4f6308 added btrfs device
statistic counters for detected IO and checksum errors to Linux 3.5.
The statistic part that counts checksum errors in
end_bio_extent_readpage() can cause a BUG() in a subfunction:
"kernel BUG at fs/btrfs/volumes.c:3762!"
That part is reverted with the current patch.
However, the counting of checksum errors in the scrub context remains
active, and the counting of detected IO errors (read, write or flush
errors) in all contexts remains active.

Pull large btrfs update from Chris Mason:
"This pull request is very large, and the two main features in here
have been under testing/devel for quite a while.
We have subvolume quotas from the strato developers. This enables
full tracking of how many blocks are allocated to each subvolume (and
all snapshots) and you can set limits on a per-subvolume basis. You
can also create quota groups and toss multiple subvolumes into a big
group. It's everything you need to be a web hosting company and give
each user their own subvolume.
The userland side of the quotas is being refreshed, they'll send out
details on where to grab it soon.
Next is the kernel side of btrfs send/receive from Alexander Block.
This leverages the same infrastructure as the quota code to figure out
relationships between blocks and their owners. It can then compute
the difference between two snapshots and sends the diffs in a neutral
format into userland.
The basic model:
create a snapshot
send that snapshot as the initial backup
make changes
create a second snapshot
send the incremental as a backup
delete the first snapshot
(use the second snapshot for the next incremental)
The receive portion is all in userland, and in the 'next' branch of my
btrfs-progs repo.
There's still some work to do in terms of optimizing the send side
from kernel to userland. The really important part is figuring out
how two snapshots are different, and this is where we are
concentrating right now. The initial send of a dataset is a little
slower than tar, but the incremental sends are dramatically faster
than what rsync can do.
On top of all of that, we have a nice queue of fixes, cleanups and
optimizations."
Fix up trivial modify/del conflict in fs/btrfs/ioctl.c
Also fix up semantic conflict in fs/btrfs/send.c: the interface to
dentry_open() changed in commit 765927b2d5 ("switch dentry_open() to
struct path, make it grab references itself"), and since it now grabs
whatever references it needs, we should no longer do the mntget() on the
mnt (and we need to dput() the dentry reference we took).

While testing with my buffer read fio jobs[1], I find that btrfs does not
perform well enough.
Here is a scenario in fio jobs:
We have 4 threads, "t1 t2 t3 t4", starting to buffer read a same file,
and all of them will race on add_to_page_cache_lru(), and if one thread
successfully puts its page into the page cache, it takes the responsibility
to read the page's data.
And what's more, reading a page needs a period of time to finish, in which
other threads can slide in and process rest pages:
t1 t2 t3 t4
add Page1
read Page1 add Page2
| read Page2 add Page3
| | read Page3 add Page4
| | | read Page4
-----|------------|-----------|-----------|--------
v v v v
bio bio bio bio
Now we have four bios, each of which holds only one page since we need to
maintain consecutive pages in bio. Thus, we can end up with far more bios
than we need.
Here we're going to
a) delay the real read-page section and
b) try to put more pages into page cache.
With that said, we can make each bio hold more pages and reduce the number
of bios we need.
Here is some numbers taken from fio results:

There is a small window where an eb can have no IO bits set on it, which
could potentially result in extent_buffer_under_io() returning false when we
want it to return true, which could result in not fun things happening. So
in order to protect this case we need to hold the refs_lock when we make
this transition to make sure we get reliable results out of
extent_buffer_udner_io(). Thanks,

This sounds sort of impossible but it is the only thing I can think of and
at the very least it is theoretically possible so here it goes.
If we are in try_release_extent_buffer we will check that the ref count on
the extent buffer is 1 and not under IO, and then go down and clear the tree
ref. If between this check and clearing the tree ref somebody else comes in
and grabs a ref on the eb and the marks it dirty before
try_release_extent_buffer() does it's tree ref clear we can end up with a
dirty eb that will be freed while it is still dirty which will result in a
panic. Thanks,
Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <jbacik@fusionio.com>
I noticed while looking at an extent_buffer race that we will
unconditionally return 1 if we get down to release_extent_buffer after
clearing the tree ref. However we can easily race in here and get a ref on
the eb and not actually free the eb. So make release_extent_buffer return 1
if it free'd the eb and 0 if not so we can be a little kinder to the vm.

We can race with unlink and not actually be able to do our igrab in
btrfs_add_ordered_extent. This will result in all sorts of problems.
Instead of doing the complicated work to try and handle returning an error
properly from btrfs_add_ordered_extent, just hold a ref to the inode during
writepages. If we cannot grab a ref we know we're freeing this inode anyway
and can just drop the dirty pages on the floor, because screw them we're
going to invalidate them anyway. Thanks,

Al pointed out that we can just toss out the old name on a device and add a
new one arbitrarily, so anybody who uses device->name in printk could
possibly use free'd memory. Instead of adding locking around all of this he
suggested doing it with RCU, so I've introduced a struct rcu_string that
does just that and have gone through and protected all accesses to
device->name that aren't under the uuid_mutex with rcu_read_lock(). This
protects us and I will use it for dealing with removing the device that we
used to mount the file system in a later patch. Thanks,

We noticed that the ordered extent completion doesn't really rely on having
a page and that it could be done independantly of ending the writeback on a
page. This patch makes us not do the threaded endio stuff for normal
buffered writes and direct writes so we can end page writeback as soon as
possible (in irq context) and only start threads to do the ordered work when
it is actually done. Compression needs to be reworked some to take
advantage of this as well, but atm it has to do a find_get_page in its endio
handler so it must be done in its own thread. This makes direct writes
quite a bit faster. Thanks,

"We've merged in the error handling patches from SuSE. These are
already shipping in the sles kernel, and they give btrfs the ability
to abort transactions and go readonly on errors. It involves a lot of
churn as they clarify BUG_ONs, and remove the ones we now properly
deal with.
Josef reworked the way our metadata interacts with the page cache.
page->private now points to the btrfs extent_buffer object, which
makes everything faster. He changed it so we write an whole extent
buffer at a time instead of allowing individual pages to go down,,
which will be important for the raid5/6 code (for the 3.5 merge
window ;)
Josef also made us more aggressive about dropping pages for metadata
blocks that were freed due to COW. Overall, our metadata caching is
much faster now.
We've integrated my patch for metadata bigger than the page size.
This allows metadata blocks up to 64KB in size. In practice 16K and
32K seem to work best. For workloads with lots of metadata, this cuts
down the size of the extent allocation tree dramatically and fragments
much less.
Scrub was updated to support the larger block sizes, which ended up
being a fairly large change (thanks Stefan Behrens).
We also have an assortment of fixes and updates, especially to the

Since we need to read and write extent buffers in their entirety we can't use
the normal bio_readpage_error stuff since it only works on a per page basis. So
instead make it so that if we see an io error in endio we just mark the eb as
having an IO error and then in btree_read_extent_buffer_pages we will manually
try other mirrors and then overwrite the bad mirror if we find a good copy.

Because an eb can have multiple pages we need to make sure that all pages within

Because btrfs cow's we can end up with extent buffers that are no longer
necessary just sitting around in memory. So instead of evicting these pages, we
could end up evicting things we actually care about. Thus we have
free_extent_buffer_stale for use when we are freeing tree blocks. This will
make it so that the ref for the eb being in the radix tree is dropped as soon as
possible and then is freed when the refcount hits 0 instead of waiting to be
released by releasepage. Thanks,

We can run into a problem where we find an eb for our existing page already on

atomic_inc_not_zero on the exists->refs and if it is zero just do
synchronize_rcu() and try again. We won't have to worry about new allocators
coming in since they will block on the page lock at this point. Thanks,

A few years ago the btrfs code to support blocks lager than
the page size was disabled to fix a few corner cases in the
page cache handling. This fixes the code to properly support
large metadata blocks again.
Since current kernels will crash early and often with larger
metadata blocks, this adds an incompat bit so that older kernels
can't mount it.
This also does away with different blocksizes for nodes and leaves.
You get a single block size for all tree blocks.

In submit_extent_page, there's a visually noisy if statement that, in

condition afterwards. If an error is returned from merge_bio_hook,
there's no way to catch it. It's considered a routine "1" return
value instead of a failure.

routine and BUG's on an error. The if statement is less noisy as a side-
