On mount, if balance item is found, resume balance in a separate
kernel thread.
Try to be smart to continue roughly where previous balance (or convert)
was interrupted. For chunk types that were being converted to some
profile we turn on soft convert, in case of a simple balance we turn on
usage filter and relocate only less-than-90%-full chunks of that type.
These are just heuristics but they help quite a bit, and can be improved
in future.

When doing convert from one profile to another if soft mode is on
restriper won't touch chunks that already have the profile we are
converting to. This is useful if e.g. half of the FS was converted
earlier.
The soft mode switch is (like every other filter) per-type. This means
that we can convert for example meta chunks the "hard" way while
converting data chunks selectively with soft switch.

Profile changing is done by launching a balance with
BTRFS_BALANCE_CONVERT bits set and target fields of respective
btrfs_balance_args structs initialized. Profile reducing code in this
case will pick restriper's target profile if it's available instead of
doing a blind reduce. If target profile is not yet available it goes
back to a plain reduce.

This allows to have a separate set of filters for each chunk type

When btrfs is writing the super blocks, it send barrier flushes to make
sure writeback caching drives get all the metadata on disk in the
right order.
But, we have two bugs in the way these are sent down. When doing
full commits (not via the tree log), we are sending the barrier down
before the last super when it should be going down before the first.
In multi-device setups, we should be waiting for the barriers to
complete on all devices before writing any of the supers.
Both of these bugs can cause corruptions on power failures. We fix it
with some new code to send down empty barriers to all devices before
writing the first super.
Alexandre Oliva found the multi-device bug. Arne Jansen did the async
barrier loop.

We have a problem where if a user specifies discard but doesn't actually support
it we will return EOPNOTSUPP from btrfs_discard_extent. This is a problem
because this gets called (in a fashion) from the tree log recovery code, which
has a nice little BUG_ON(ret) after it, which causes us to fail the tree log
replay. So instead detect wether our devices support discard when we're adding
them and then don't issue discards if we know that the device doesn't support
it. And just for good measure set ret = 0 in btrfs_issue_discard just in case
we still get EOPNOTSUPP so we don't screw anybody up like this again. Thanks,

In a multi device setup, the chunk allocator currently always allocates
chunks on the devices in the same order. This leads to a very uneven
distribution, especially with RAID1 or RAID10 and an uneven number of
devices.
This patch always sorts the devices before allocating, and allocates the
stripes on the devices with the most available space, as long as there
is enough space available. In a low space situation, it first tries to
maximize striping.
The patch also simplifies the allocator and reduces the checks for
corner cases.
The simplification is done by several means. First, it defines the
properties of each RAID type upfront. These properties are used afterwards
instead of differentiating cases in several places.
Second, the old allocator defined a minimum stripe size for each block
group type, tried to find a large enough chunk, and if this fails just
allocates a smaller one. This is now done in one step. The largest possible
chunk (up to max_chunk_size) is searched and allocated.
Because we now have only one pass, the allocation of the map (struct
map_lookup) is moved down to the point where the number of stripes is
already known. This way we avoid reallocation of the map.
We still avoid allocating stripes that are not a multiple of STRIPE_SIZE.
This adds an initial implementation for scrub. It works quite
straightforward. The usermode issues an ioctl for each device in the
fs. For each device, it enumerates the allocated device chunks. For
each chunk, the contained extents are enumerated and the data checksums
fetched. The extents are read sequentially and the checksums verified.
If an error occurs (checksum or EIO), a good copy is searched for. If
one is found, the bad copy will be rewritten.
All enumerations happen from the commit roots. During a transaction
commit, the scrubs get paused and afterwards continue from the new
roots.
This commit is based on the series originally posted to linux-btrfs
with some improvements that resulted from comments from David Sterba,
Ilya Dryomov and Jan Schmidt.

Btrfs natively supports back references, these tracepoints are helpful on
understanding btrfs's COW mechanism.
8) chunk:
btrfs_chunk_alloc
btrfs_chunk_free

When we store data by raid profile in btrfs with two or more different size

information of btrfs.

It is because btrfs cannot allocate chunks when one of the pairing disks has
no space, the free space on the other disks can not be used for ever, and should
be subtracted from the total space, but btrfs doesn't subtract this space from
the total. It is strange to the user.
This patch fixes it by calcing the free space that can be used to allocate
chunks.
Implementation:
1. get all the devices free space, and align them by stripe length.
2. sort the devices by the free space.
3. check the free space of the devices,
3.1. if it is not zero, and then check the number of the devices that has
more free space than this device,
if the number of the devices is beyond the min stripe number, the free
space can be used, and add into total free space.
if the number of the devices is below the min stripe number, we can not
use the free space, the check ends.
3.2. if the free space is zero, check the next devices, goto 3.1
This implementation is just likely fake chunk allocation.
After appling this patch, df can show correct space information:
# df -TH

With this patch, we change the handling method when we can not get enough free
extents with default size.
Implementation:
1. Look up the suitable free extent on each device and keep the search result.
If not find a suitable free extent, keep the max free extent
2. If we get enough suitable free extents with default size, chunk allocation
succeeds.
3. If we can not get enough free extents, but the number of the extent with
default size is >= min_stripes, we just change the mapping information
(reduce the number of stripes in the extent map), and chunk allocation
succeeds.
4. If the number of the extent with default size is < min_stripes, sort the
devices by its max free extent's size descending
5. Use the size of the max free extent on the (num_stripes - 1)th device as the
stripe size to allocate the device space
By this way, the chunk allocator can allocate chunks as large as possible when
the devices' space is not enough and make full use of the devices.

When we mount in RAID degraded mode without adding a new device to
replace the failed one, we can end up using the wrong RAID flags for
allocations.
This results in strange combinations of block groups (raid1 in a raid10
filesystem) and corruptions when we try to allocate blocks from single
spindle chunks on drives that are actually missing.
The first device has two small 4MB chunks in it that mkfs creates and
these are usually unused in a raid1 or raid10 setup. But, in -o degraded,
the allocator will fall back to these because the mask of desired raid groups
isn't correct.
The fix here is to count the missing devices as we build up the list
of devices in the system. This count is used when picking the
raid level to make sure we continue using the same levels that were
in place before we lost a drive.

After recent blkdev_get() modifications, open_by_devnum() and
open_bdev_exclusive() are simple wrappers around blkdev_get().
Replace them with blkdev_get_by_dev() and blkdev_get_by_path().
blkdev_get_by_dev() is identical to open_by_devnum().
blkdev_get_by_path() is slightly different in that it doesn't
automatically add %FMODE_EXCL to @mode.
All users are converted. Most conversions are mechanical and don't
introduce any behavior difference. There are several exceptions.
* btrfs now sets FMODE_EXCL in btrfs_device->mode, so there's no
reason to OR it explicitly on blkdev_put().
* gfs2, nilfs2 and the generic mount_bdev() now set FMODE_EXCL in
sb->s_mode.
* With the above changes, sb->s_mode now always should contain
FMODE_EXCL. WARN_ON_ONCE() added to kill_block_super() to detect
errors.
The new blkdev_get_*() functions are with proper docbook comments.
While at it, add function description to blkdev_get() too.

Currently, we can panic the box if the first block group we go to move is of a
type where there is no space left to move those extents. For example, if we
fill the disk up with data, and then we try to balance and we have no room to
move the data nor room to allocate new chunks, we will panic. Change this by
checking to see if we have room to move this chunk around, and if not, return
-ENOSPC and move on to the next chunk. This will make sure we remove block
groups that are moveable, like if we have alot of empty metadata block groups,
and then that way we make room to be able to balance our data chunks as well.
Tested this with an fs that would panic on btrfs-vol -b normally, but no longer
panics with this patch.
V1->V2:
-actually search for a free extent on the device to make sure we can allocate a
chunk if need be.
-fix btrfs_shrink_device to make sure we actually try to relocate all the
chunks, and then if we can't return -ENOSPC so if we are doing a btrfs-vol -r
we don't remove the device with data still on it.
-check to make sure the block group we are going to relocate isn't the last one
in that particular space

On multi-device filesystems, btrfs writes supers to all of the devices
before considering a sync complete. There wasn't any additional
locking between super writeout and the device list management code
because device management was done inside a transaction and
super writeout only happened with no transation writers running.
With the btrfs fsync log and other async transaction updates, this
has been racey for some time. This adds a mutex to protect
the device list. The existing volume mutex could not be reused due to
transaction lock ordering requirements.

Part of reducing fsync/O_SYNC/O_DIRECT latencies is using WRITE_SYNC for
writes we plan on waiting on in the near future. This patch
mirrors recent changes in other filesystems and the generic code to
use WRITE_SYNC when WB_SYNC_ALL is passed and to use WRITE_SYNC for
other latency critical writes.
Btrfs uses async worker threads for checksumming before the write is done,
and then again to actually submit the bios. The bio submission code just
runs a per-device list of bios that need to be sent down the pipe.
This list is split into low priority and high priority lists so the
WRITE_SYNC IO happens first.

Seed device is a special btrfs with SEEDING super flag
set and can only be mounted in read-only mode. Seed
devices allow people to create new btrfs on top of it.
The new FS contains the same contents as the seed device,
but it can be mounted in read-write mode.
This patch does the following:
1) split code in btrfs_alloc_chunk into two parts. The first part does makes
the newly allocated chunk usable, but does not do any operation that modifies
the chunk tree. The second part does the the chunk tree modifications. This
division is for the bootstrap step of adding storage to the seed device.
2) Update device management code to handle seed device.
The basic idea is: For an FS grown from seed devices, its
seed devices are put into a list. Seed devices are
opened on demand at mounting time. If any seed device is
missing or has been changed, btrfs kernel module will
refuse to mount the FS.
3) make btrfs_find_block_group not return NULL when all
block groups are read-only.

The multi-bio code is responsible for duplicating blocks in raid1 and
single spindle duplication. It has counters to make sure all of
the locations for a given extent are properly written before io completion
is returned to the higher layers.
But, it didn't always complete the same bio it was given, sometimes a
clone was completed instead. This lead to problems with the async
work queues because they saved a pointer to the bio in a struct off
bi_private.
The fix is to remember the original bio and only complete that one.

Btrfs has been using workqueues to spread the checksumming load across
other CPUs in the system. But, workqueues only schedule work on the
same CPU that queued the work, giving them a limited benefit for systems with
higher CPU counts.
This code adds a generic facility to schedule work with pools of kthreads,
and changes the bio submission code to queue bios up. The queueing is
important to make sure large numbers of procs on the system don't
turn streaming workloads into random workloads by sending IO down
concurrently.
The end result of all of this is much higher performance (and CPU usage) when
doing checksumming on large machines. Two worker pools are created,
one for writes and one for endio processing. The two could deadlock if
we tried to service both from a single pool.

Devices can change after the scan ioctls are done, and btrfs_open_devices
needs to be able to verify them as they are opened and used by the FS.

This required a few structural changes to the code that manages bdev pointers:
The VFS super block now gets an anon-bdev instead of a pointer to the
lowest bdev. This allows us to avoid swapping the super block bdev pointer
around at run time.
The code to read in the super block no longer goes through the extent
buffer interface. Things got ugly keeping the mapping constant.
