Snapshot creation happens at a specific time during transaction commit. We
need to make sure the code called by snapshot creation doesn't wait
for the running transaction to commit.
This changes btrfs_delete_inode and finish_pending_snaps to use
btrfs_join_transaction instead of btrfs_start_transaction to avoid deadlocks.
It would be better if btrfs_delete_inode didn't use the join, but the

bio_end_io for reads without checksumming on and btree writes were
happening without using async thread pools. This means the extent_io.c

There were some irq safe vs unsafe lock inversions between the delallock

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.

Puts reserved space into the super block and inode
Adds a log root transid to the super so we can pick the newest super

Btrfs stores checksums for each data block. Until now, they have
been stored in the subvolume trees, indexed by the inode that is
referencing the data block. This means that when we read the inode,
we've probably read in at least some checksums as well.
But, this has a few problems:
* The checksums are indexed by logical offset in the file. When
compression is on, this means we have to do the expensive checksumming
on the uncompressed data. It would be faster if we could checksum
the compressed data instead.
* If we implement encryption, we'll be checksumming the plain text and
storing that on disk. This is significantly less secure.
* For either compression or encryption, we have to get the plain text
back before we can verify the checksum as correct. This makes the raid
layer balancing and extent moving much more expensive.
* It makes the front end caching code more complex, as we have touch
the subvolume and inodes as we cache extents.
* There is potentitally one copy of the checksum in each subvolume
referencing an extent.
The solution used here is to store the extent checksums in a dedicated
tree. This allows us to index the checksums by phyiscal extent
start and length. It means:
* The checksum is against the data stored on disk, after any compression
or encryption is done.
* The checksum is stored in a central location, and can be verified without
following back references, or reading inodes.
This makes compression significantly faster by reducing the amount of
data that needs to be checksummed. It will also allow much faster
raid management code in general.
The checksums are indexed by a key with a fixed objectid (a magic value
in ctree.h) and offset set to the starting byte of the extent. This
allows us to copy the checksum items into the fsync log tree directly (or
any other tree), without having to invent a second format for them.

While building large bios in writepages, btrfs may end up waiting
for other page writeback to finish if WB_SYNC_ALL is used.
While it is waiting, the bio it is building has a number of pages with the
writeback bit set and they aren't getting to the disk any time soon. This
lowers the latencies of writeback in general by sending down the bio being
built before waiting for other pages.
The bio submission code tries to limit the total number of async bios in
flight by waiting when we're over a certain number of async bios. But,
the waits are happening while writepages is building bios, and this can easily
lead to stalls and other problems for people calling wait_on_page_writeback.
The current fix is to let the congestion tests take care of waiting.
sync() and others make sure to drain the current async requests to make
sure that everything that was pending when the sync was started really get
to disk. The code would drain pending requests both before and after
submitting a new request.
But, if one of the requests is waiting for page writeback to finish,
the draining waits might block that page writeback. This changes the
draining code to only wait after submitting the bio being processed.

Before, all snapshots and subvolumes lived in a single flat directory. This
was awkward and confusing because the single flat directory was only writable
with the ioctls.
This commit changes the ioctls to create subvols and snapshots at any
point in the directory tree. This requires making separate ioctls for
snapshot and subvol creation instead of a combining them into one.
The subvol ioctl does:
btrfsctl -S subvol_name parent_dir
After the ioctl is done subvol_name lives inside parent_dir.
The snapshot ioctl does:
btrfsctl -s path_for_snapshot root_to_snapshot
path_for_snapshot can be an absolute or relative path. btrfsctl breaks it up
into directory and basename components.
root_to_snapshot can be any file or directory in the FS. The snapshot
is taken of the entire root where that file lives.

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

Btrfs uses kernel threads to create async work queues for cpu intensive
operations such as checksumming and decompression. These work well,
but they make it difficult to keep IO order intact.
A single writepages call from pdflush or fsync will turn into a number
of bios, and each bio is checksummed in parallel. Once the checksum is
computed, the bio is sent down to the disk, and since we don't control
the order in which the parallel operations happen, they might go down to
the disk in almost any order.
The code deals with this somewhat by having deep work queues for a single
kernel thread, making it very likely that a single thread will process all
the bios for a single inode.
This patch introduces an explicitly ordered work queue. As work structs
are placed into the queue they are put onto the tail of a list. They have
three callbacks:
->func (cpu intensive processing here)
->ordered_func (order sensitive processing here)
->ordered_free (free the work struct, all processing is done)
The work struct has three callbacks. The func callback does the cpu intensive
work, and when it completes the work struct is marked as done.
Every time a work struct completes, the list is checked to see if the head
is marked as done. If so the ordered_func callback is used to do the
order sensitive processing and the ordered_free callback is used to do
any cleanup. Then we loop back and check the head of the list again.
This patch also changes the checksumming code to use the ordered workqueues.

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

all the pages after it in the same compressed inline items. For now, only
create single page inline items.

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.

Creating a subvolume is in many ways like a normal VFS ->mkdir, and we
really need to play with the VFS topology locking rules. So instead of
just creating the snapshot on disk and then later getting rid of
confliting aliases do it correctly from the start. This will become
especially important once we allow for subvolumes anywhere in the tree,

1) replace the per fs_info extent_io_tree that tracked free space with two
rb-trees per block group to track free space areas via offset and size. The
reason to do this is because most allocations come with a hint byte where to
start, so we can usually find a chunk of free space at that hint byte to satisfy
the allocation and get good space packing. If we cannot find free space at or
after the given offset we fall back on looking for a chunk of the given size as
close to that given offset as possible. When we fall back on the size search we
also try to find a slot as close to the size we want as possible, to avoid
breaking small chunks off of huge areas if possible.
2) remove the extent_io_tree that tracked the block group cache from fs_info and
replaced it with an rb-tree thats tracks block group cache via offset. also
added a per space_info list that tracks the block group cache for the particular
space so we can lookup related block groups easily.
3) cleaned up the allocation code to make it a little easier to read and a
little less complicated. Basically there are 3 steps, first look from our
provided hint. If we couldn't find from that given hint, start back at our
original search start and look for space from there. If that fails try to
allocate space if we can and start looking again. If not we're screwed and need
to start over again.
4) small fixes. there were some issues in volumes.c where we wouldn't allocate
the rest of the disk. fixed cow_file_range to actually pass the alloc_hint,
which has helped a good bit in making the fs_mark test I run have semi-normal
results as we run out of space. Generally with data allocations we don't track
where we last allocated from, so everytime we did a data allocation we'd search
through every block group that we have looking for free space. Now searching a
block group with no free space isn't terribly time consuming, it was causing a
slight degradation as we got more data block groups. The alloc_hint has fixed
this slight degredation and made things semi-normal.
There is still one nagging problem I'm working on where we will get ENOSPC when
there is definitely plenty of space. This only happens with metadata
allocations, and only when we are almost full. So you generally hit the 85%
mark first, but sometimes you'll hit the BUG before you hit the 85% wall. I'm
still tracking it down, but until then this seems to be pretty stable and make a
significant performance gain.
