If we get -ENOMEM while dropping file extent items in a given range, at
btrfs_drop_extents(), due to failure to allocate memory when attempting to
increment the reference count for an extent or drop the reference count,
we handle it with a BUG_ON(). This is excessive, instead we can simply
abort the transaction and return the error to the caller. In fact most
callers of btrfs_drop_extents(), directly or indirectly, already abort
the transaction if btrfs_drop_extents() returns any error.
Also, we already have error paths at btrfs_drop_extents() that may return
-ENOMEM and in those cases we abort the transaction, like for example
anything that changes the b+tree may return -ENOMEM due to a failure to
allocate a new extent buffer when COWing an existing extent buffer, such
as a call to btrfs_duplicate_item() for example.
So replace the BUG_ON() calls with proper logic to abort the transaction
and return the error.

During lseek (SEEK_HOLE/DATA), whenever we find a hole or prealloc extent,
we will look for delalloc in that range, and one of the things we do for
that is to find out ranges in the inode's io_tree marked with
EXTENT_DELALLOC, using calls to count_range_bits().
Typically there's a single, or few, searches in the io_tree for delalloc
per lseek call. However it's common for applications to keep calling
lseek with SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA to find where extents and holes are in
a file, read the extents and skip holes in order to avoid unnecessary IO
and save disk space by preserving holes.
One popular user is the cp utility from coreutils. Starting with coreutils
9.0, cp uses SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA to iterate over the extents of a
file. Before 9.0, it used fiemap to figure out where holes and extents are
in the source file. Another popular user is the tar utility when used with
the --sparse / -S option to detect and preserve holes.
Given that the pattern is to keep calling lseek with a start offset that
matches the returned offset from the previous lseek call, we can benefit
from caching the last extent state visited in count_range_bits() and use
it for the next count_range_bits() from the next lseek call. Example,
the following strace excerpt from running tar:
$ strace tar cJSvf foo.tar.xz qemu_disk_file.raw
(...)
lseek(5, 125019574272, SEEK_HOLE) = 125024989184
lseek(5, 125024989184, SEEK_DATA) = 125024993280
lseek(5, 125024993280, SEEK_HOLE) = 125025239040
lseek(5, 125025239040, SEEK_DATA) = 125025255424
lseek(5, 125025255424, SEEK_HOLE) = 125025353728
lseek(5, 125025353728, SEEK_DATA) = 125025357824
lseek(5, 125025357824, SEEK_HOLE) = 125026766848
lseek(5, 125026766848, SEEK_DATA) = 125026770944
lseek(5, 125026770944, SEEK_HOLE) = 125027053568
(...)
Shows that pattern, which is the same as with cp from coreutils 9.0+.
So start using a cached state for the delalloc searches in lseek, and
store it in struct file's private data so that it can be reused across
lseek calls.
This change is part of a patchset that is comprised of the following
patches:
1/9 btrfs: remove leftover setting of EXTENT_UPTODATE state in an inode's io_tree
2/9 btrfs: add an early exit when searching for delalloc range for lseek/fiemap

for delalloc in that range, and one of the things we do for that is to
find out ranges in the inode's io_tree marked with EXTENT_DELALLOC, using
calls to count_range_bits().
Since we process file extents from left to right, if we have a file with
several holes or prealloc extents, we benefit from keeping a cached extent
state record for calls to count_range_bits(). Most of the time the last
extent state record we visited in one call to count_range_bits() matches
the first extent state record we will use in the next call to
count_range_bits(), so there's a benefit here. So use an extent state
record to cache results from count_range_bits() calls during fiemap.
This change is part of a patchset that has the goal to make performance
better for applications that use lseek's SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA modes to
iterate over the extents of a file. Two examples are the cp program from

An inode's io_tree can be quite large and there are cases where due to
delalloc it can have thousands of extent state records, which makes the
red black tree have a depth of 10 or more, making the operation of
count_range_bits() slow if we repeatedly call it for a range that starts
where, or after, the previous one we called it for. Such use cases are
when searching for delalloc in a file range that corresponds to a hole or
a prealloc extent, which is done during lseek SEEK_HOLE/DATA and fiemap.
So introduce a cached state parameter to count_range_bits() which we use
to store the last extent state record we visited, and then allow the
caller to pass it again on its next call to count_range_bits(). The next
patches in the series will make fiemap and lseek use the new parameter.
This change is part of a patchset that has the goal to make performance
better for applications that use lseek's SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA modes to
iterate over the extents of a file. Two examples are the cp program from

During lseek (SEEK_HOLE/DATA) and fiemap, when processing a file range
that corresponds to a hole or a prealloc extent, we have to check if
there's any delalloc in the range. We do it by searching for delalloc
ranges in the inode's io_tree (for unflushed delalloc) and in the inode's
extent map tree (for delalloc that is flushing).
We avoid searching the extent map tree if the number of outstanding
extents is 0, as in that case we can't have extent maps for our search
range in the tree that correspond to delalloc that is flushing. However
if we have any unflushed delalloc, due to buffered writes or mmap writes,
then the outstanding extents counter is not 0 and we'll search the extent
map tree. The tree may be large because it can have lots of extent maps
that were loaded by reads or created by previous writes, therefore taking
a significant time to search the tree, specially if have a file with a
lot of holes and/or prealloc extents.
We can improve on this by instead of searching the extent map tree,
searching the ordered extents tree of the inode, since when delalloc is
flushing we create an ordered extent along with the new extent map, while
holding the respective file range locked in the inode's io_tree. The
ordered extents tree is typically much smaller, since ordered extents have
a short life and get removed from the tree once they are completed, while
extent maps can stay for a very long time in the extent map tree, either
created by previous writes or loaded by read operations.
So use the ordered extents tree instead of the extent maps tree.
This change is part of a patchset that has the goal to make performance
better for applications that use lseek's SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA modes to
iterate over the extents of a file. Two examples are the cp program from

If when doing a direct IO write we need to fallback to buffered IO, we
this comment at btrfs_direct_write() that says we can't directly fallback
to buffered IO if we have a NOWAIT iocb, because we have no support for
NOWAIT buffered writes. That is not true anymore, as support for NOWAIT
buffered writes was added recently in commit 926078b21d ("btrfs: enable
nowait async buffered writes").
However we still can't fallback to a buffered write in case we have a
NOWAIT iocb, because we'll need to flush delalloc and wait for it to
complete after doing the buffered write, and that can block for several
reasons, the main reason being waiting for IO to complete.
So update the comment to mention all that.

During fiemap and lseek (hole and data seeking), there's no point in
iterating the inode's io tree to count delalloc bits if the inode's
delalloc bytes counter has a value of zero, as that counter is updated
whenever we set a range for delalloc or clear a range from delalloc.
So skip the counting and io tree iteration if the inode's delalloc bytes
counter has a value of zero. This helps save time when processing a file
range corresponding to a hole or prealloc (unwritten) extent.

If we have no outstanding extents it means we don't have any extent maps
corresponding to delalloc that is flushing, as when an ordered extent is
created we increment the number of outstanding extents to 1 and when we
remove the ordered extent we decrement them by 1. So skip extent map tree
searches if the number of outstanding ordered extents is 0, saving time as
the tree is not empty if we have previously made some reads or flushed
delalloc, as in those cases it can have a very large number of extent maps
for files with many extents.
This helps save time when processing a file range corresponding to a hole
or prealloc (unwritten) extent.

At find_delalloc_subrange(), when we need to get the next extent map, we
do a full search on the extent map tree (a red black tree). This is fine
but it's a lot more efficient to simply use rb_next(), which typically
requires iterating over less nodes of the tree and never needs to compare
the ranges of nodes with the one we are looking for.
So add a public helper to extent_map.{h,c} to get the extent map that
immediately follows another extent map, using rb_next(), and use that
helper at find_delalloc_subrange().

If we are doing a buffered write in NOWAIT context and we can't reserve
metadata space due to -ENOSPC, then we should return -EAGAIN so that we
retry the write in a context allowed to block and do metadata reservation
with flushing, which might succeed this time due to the allowed flushing.
Returning -ENOSPC while in NOWAIT context simply makes some writes fail
with -ENOSPC when they would likely succeed after switching from NOWAIT
context to blocking context. That is unexpected behaviour and even fio
complains about it with a warning like this:

When doing a direct IO write using a iocb with nowait and dsync set, we
end up not syncing the file once the write completes.
This is because we tell iomap to not call generic_write_sync(), which
would result in calling btrfs_sync_file(), in order to avoid a deadlock
since iomap can call it while we are holding the inode's lock and
btrfs_sync_file() needs to acquire the inode's lock. The deadlock happens
only if the write happens synchronously, when iomap_dio_rw() calls
iomap_dio_complete() before it returns. Instead we do the sync ourselves
at btrfs_do_write_iter().
For a nowait write however we can end up not doing the sync ourselves at
at btrfs_do_write_iter() because the write could have been queued, and
therefore we get -EIOCBQUEUED returned from iomap in such case. That makes
us skip the sync call at btrfs_do_write_iter(), as we don't do it for
any error returned from btrfs_direct_write(). We can't simply do the call
even if -EIOCBQUEUED is returned, since that would block the task waiting
for IO, both for the data since there are bios still in progress as well
as potentially blocking when joining a log transaction and when syncing
the log (writing log trees, super blocks, etc).
So let iomap do the sync call itself and in order to avoid deadlocks for
the case of synchronous writes (without nowait), use __iomap_dio_rw() and
have ourselves call iomap_dio_complete() after unlocking the inode.
A test case will later be sent for fstests, after this is fixed in Linus'
tree.

We have several places that need to drop all the extent maps in a given

and then keep trying to add the new extent map in a loop that keeps
retrying while the insertion of the new extent map fails with -EEXIST.

The function btrfs_drop_extent_cache() doesn't really belong at file.c
because what it does is drop a range of extent maps for a file range.
It directly allocates and manipulates extent maps, by dropping,
splitting and replacing them in an extent map tree, so it should be
located at extent_map.c, where all manipulations of an extent map tree
and its extent maps are supposed to be done.
So move it out of file.c and into extent_map.c. Additionally do the
following changes:
1) Rename it into btrfs_drop_extent_map_range(), as this makes it more
clear about what it does. The term "cache" is a bit confusing as it's
not widely used, "extent maps" or "extent mapping" is much more common;
2) Change its 'skip_pinned' argument from int to bool;
3) Turn several of its local variables from int to bool, since they are
used as booleans;
4) Move the declaration of some variables out of the function's main
scope and into the scopes where they are used;
5) Remove pointless assignment of false to 'modified' early in the while
loop, as later that variable is set and it's not used before that
second assignment;
6) Remove checks for NULL before calling free_extent_map().

When dropping extent maps for a range, through btrfs_drop_extent_cache(),
if we find an extent map that starts before our target range and/or ends
before the target range, and we are not able to allocate extent maps for
splitting that extent map, then we don't fail and simply remove the entire
extent map from the inode's extent map tree.
This is generally fine, because in case anyone needs to access the extent
map, it can just load it again later from the respective file extent
item(s) in the subvolume btree. However, if that extent map is new and is
in the list of modified extents, then a fast fsync will miss the parts of
the extent that were outside our range (that needed to be split),
therefore not logging them. Fix that by marking the inode for a full
fsync. This issue was introduced after removing BUG_ON()s triggered when
the split extent map allocations failed, done by commit 7014cdb493
("Btrfs: btrfs_drop_extent_cache should never fail"), back in 2012, and
the fast fsync path already existed but was very recent.
Also, in the case where we could allocate extent maps for the split
operations but then fail to add a split extent map to the tree, mark the
inode for a full fsync as well. This is not supposed to ever fail, and we
assert that, but in case assertions are disabled (CONFIG_BTRFS_ASSERT is
not set), it's the correct thing to do to make sure a fast fsync will not
miss a new extent.

Enable nowait async buffered writes in btrfs_do_write_iter() and
btrfs_file_open().
In this version encoded buffered writes have the optimization not
enabled. Encoded writes are enabled by using an ioctl. io_uring
currently does not support ioctls. This might be enabled in the future.
Performance results:
For fio the following results have been obtained with a queue depth of
1 and 4k block size (runtime 600 secs):
sequential writes:
without patch with patch libaio psync
iops: 55k 134k 117K 148K
bw: 221MB/s 538MB/s 469MB/s 592MB/s
clat: 15286ns 82ns 994ns 6340ns
For an io depth of 1, the new patch improves throughput by over two
times (compared to the existing behavior, where buffered writes are
processed by an io-worker process) and also the latency is considerably
reduced. To achieve the same or better performance with the existing
code an io depth of 4 is required. Increasing the iodepth further does
not lead to improvements.
The tests have been run like this:
./fio --name=seq-writers --ioengine=psync --iodepth=1 --rw=write \
--bs=4k --direct=0 --size=100000m --time_based --runtime=600 \

The current fiemap implementation does not scale very well with the number
of extents a file has. This is both because the main algorithm to find out
the extents has a high algorithmic complexity and because for each extent
we have to check if it's shared. This second part, checking if an extent
is shared, is significantly improved by the two previous patches in this
patchset, while the first part is improved by this specific patch. Every
now and then we get reports from users mentioning fiemap is too slow or
even unusable for files with a very large number of extents, such as the
two recent reports referred to by the Link tags at the bottom of this
change log.
To understand why the part of finding which extents a file has is very
inefficient, consider the example of doing a full ranged fiemap against
a file that has over 100K extents (normal for example for a file with
more than 10G of data and using compression, which limits the extent size
to 128K). When we enter fiemap at extent_fiemap(), the following happens:
1) Before entering the main loop, we call get_extent_skip_holes() to get
the first extent map. This leads us to btrfs_get_extent_fiemap(), which
in turn calls btrfs_get_extent(), to find the first extent map that
covers the file range [0, LLONG_MAX).
btrfs_get_extent() will first search the inode's extent map tree, to
see if we have an extent map there that covers the range. If it does
not find one, then it will search the inode's subvolume b+tree for a
fitting file extent item. After finding the file extent item, it will
allocate an extent map, fill it in with information extracted from the
file extent item, and add it to the inode's extent map tree (which
requires a search for insertion in the tree).
2) Then we enter the main loop at extent_fiemap(), emit the details of
the extent, and call again get_extent_skip_holes(), with a start
offset matching the end of the extent map we previously processed.
We end up at btrfs_get_extent() again, will search the extent map tree
and then search the subvolume b+tree for a file extent item if we could
not find an extent map in the extent tree. We allocate an extent map,
fill it in with the details in the file extent item, and then insert
it into the extent map tree (yet another search in this tree).
3) The second step is repeated over and over, until we have processed the
whole file range. Each iteration ends at btrfs_get_extent(), which
does a red black tree search on the extent map tree, then searches the
subvolume b+tree, allocates an extent map and then does another search
in the extent map tree in order to insert the extent map.
In the best scenario we have all the extent maps already in the extent
tree, and so for each extent we do a single search on a red black tree,
so we have a complexity of O(n log n).
In the worst scenario we don't have any extent map already loaded in
the extent map tree, or have very few already there. In this case the
complexity is much higher since we do:
- A red black tree search on the extent map tree, which has O(log n)
complexity, initially very fast since the tree is empty or very
small, but as we end up allocating extent maps and adding them to
the tree when we don't find them there, each subsequent search on
the tree gets slower, since it's getting bigger and bigger after
each iteration.
- A search on the subvolume b+tree, also O(log n) complexity, but it
has items for all inodes in the subvolume, not just items for our
inode. Plus on a filesystem with concurrent operations on other
inodes, we can block doing the search due to lock contention on
b+tree nodes/leaves.
- Allocate an extent map - this can block, and can also fail if we
are under serious memory pressure.
- Do another search on the extent maps red black tree, with the goal
of inserting the extent map we just allocated. Again, after every
iteration this tree is getting bigger by 1 element, so after many
iterations the searches are slower and slower.
- We will not need the allocated extent map anymore, so it's pointless
to add it to the extent map tree. It's just wasting time and memory.
In short we end up searching the extent map tree multiple times, on a
tree that is growing bigger and bigger after each iteration. And
besides that we visit the same leaf of the subvolume b+tree many times,
since a leaf with the default size of 16K can easily have more than 200
file extent items.
This is very inefficient overall. This patch changes the algorithm to
instead iterate over the subvolume b+tree, visiting each leaf only once,
and only searching in the extent map tree for file ranges that have holes
or prealloc extents, in order to figure out if we have delalloc there.
It will never allocate an extent map and add it to the extent map tree.
This is very similar to what was previously done for the lseek's hole and
data seeking features.
Also, the current implementation relying on extent maps for figuring out
which extents we have is not correct. This is because extent maps can be
merged even if they represent different extents - we do this to minimize
memory utilization and keep extent map trees smaller. For example if we
have two extents that are contiguous on disk, once we load the two extent
maps, they get merged into a single one - however if only one of the
extents is shared, we end up reporting both as shared or both as not
shared, which is incorrect.
This reproducer triggers that bug:

We end up reporting that we have a single 512K that is not shared, however
we have two 256K extents, and the second one is shared. Changing the
reproducer to clone instead the first extent into file 'bar', makes us
report a single 512K extent that is shared, which is algo incorrect since
we have two 256K extents and only the first one is shared.

That's a speedup of about 3x for both cases (no metadata cached and all

The test provided by Pavel (first Link tag at the bottom), which uses
files with a large number of holes, was also used to measure the gains,
and it consists on a small C program and a shell script to invoke it.

The speedup is massive, both on the first fiemap call and on the second
one as well, as his test creates files with many holes and small extents
(every extent follows a hole and precedes another hole).
For the 256M file we go from 4 seconds down to 29 milliseconds in the
first run, and then from 4.9 seconds down to 29 milliseconds again in the
second run, a speedup of 138x and 169x, respectively.
For the 512M file we go from 30.1 seconds down to 59 milliseconds in the
first run, and then from 33.5 seconds down to 59 milliseconds again in the
second run, a speedup of 510x and 568x, respectively.
For the 1G file, we go from 225 seconds down to 124 milliseconds in the
first run, and then from 217 seconds down to 119 milliseconds in the
second run, a speedup of 1815x and 1824x, respectively.

The current implementation of hole and data seeking for llseek does not
scale well in regards to the number of extents and the distance between
the start offset and the next hole or extent. This is due to a very high
algorithmic complexity. Often we also get reports of btrfs' hole and data
seeking (llseek) being too slow, such as at 2017's LSFMM (see the Link
tag at the bottom).
In order to better understand it, lets consider the case where the start
offset is 0, we are seeking for a hole and the file size is 16G. Between
file offset 0 and the first hole in the file there are 100K extents - this
is common for large files, specially if we have compression enabled, since
the maximum extent size is limited to 128K. The steps take by the main
loop of the current algorithm are the following:
1) We start by calling btrfs_get_extent_fiemap(), for file offset 0, which
calls btrfs_get_extent(). This will first lookup for an extent map in
the inode's extent map tree (a red black tree). If the extent map is
not loaded in memory, then it will do a lookup for the corresponding
file extent item in the subvolume's b+tree, create an extent map based
on the contents of the file extent item and then add the extent map to
the extent map tree of the inode;
2) The second iteration calls btrfs_get_extent_fiemap() again, this time
with a start offset matching the end offset of the previous extent.
Again, btrfs_get_extent() will first search the extent map tree, and
if it doesn't find an extent map there, it will again search in the
b+tree of the subvolume for a matching file extent item, build an
extent map based on the file extent item, and add the extent map to
to the extent map tree of the inode;
3) This repeats over and over until we find the first hole (when seeking
for holes) or until we find the first extent (when seeking for data).
If there no extent maps loaded in memory for each iteration, then on
each iteration we do 1 extent map tree search, 1 b+tree search, plus
1 more extent map tree traversal to insert an extent map - plus we
allocate memory for the extent map.
On each iteration we are growing the size of the extent map tree,
making each future search slower, and also visiting the same b+tree
leaves over and over again - taking into account with the default leaf
size of 16K we can fit more than 200 file extent items in a leaf - so
we can visit the same b+tree leaf 200+ times, on each visit walking
down a path from the root to the leaf.
So it's easy to see that what we have now doesn't scale well. Also, it
loads an extent map for every file extent item into memory, which is not
efficient - we should add extents maps only when doing IO (writing or
reading file data).
This change implements a new algorithm which scales much better, and
works like this:
1) We iterate over the subvolume's b+tree, visiting each leaf that has
file extent items once and only once;
2) For any file extent items found, that don't represent holes or prealloc
extents, it will not search the extent map tree - there's no need at
all for that - an extent map is just an in-memory representation of a
file extent item;
3) When a hole is found, or a prealloc extent, it will check if there's
delalloc for its range. For this it will search for EXTENT_DELALLOC
bits in the inode's io tree and check the extent map tree - this is
for accounting for unflushed delalloc and for flushed delalloc (the
period between running delalloc and ordered extent completion),
respectively. This is similar to what the current implementation does
when it finds a hole or prealloc extent, but without creating extent
maps and adding them to the extent map tree in case they are not
loaded in memory;
4) It never allocates extent maps, or adds extent maps to the inode's
extent map tree. This not only saves memory and time (from the tree
insertions and allocations), but also eliminates the possibility of
-ENOMEM due to allocating too many extent maps.
Part of this new code will also be used later for fiemap (which also
suffers similar scalability problems).
The following test example can be used to quickly measure the efficiency
before and after this patch:
$ cat test-seek-hole.sh
#!/bin/bash
DEV=/dev/sdi
MNT=/mnt/sdi
mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV
mount -o compress=lzo $DEV $MNT
# 16G file -> 131073 compressed extents.
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xab -b 1M 0 16G" $MNT/foobar
# Leave a 1M hole at file offset 15G.
xfs_io -c "fpunch 15G 1M" $MNT/foobar
# Unmount and mount again, so that we can test when there's no
# metadata cached in memory.
umount $MNT
mount -o compress=lzo $DEV $MNT
# Test seeking for hole from offset 0 (hole is at offset 15G).
start=$(date +%s%N)
xfs_io -c "seek -h 0" $MNT/foobar
end=$(date +%s%N)
dur=$(( (end - start) / 1000000 ))
echo "Took $dur milliseconds to seek first hole (metadata not cached)"
echo
start=$(date +%s%N)
xfs_io -c "seek -h 0" $MNT/foobar
end=$(date +%s%N)
dur=$(( (end - start) / 1000000 ))
echo "Took $dur milliseconds to seek first hole (metadata cached)"
echo
umount $MNT
Before this change:
$ ./test-seek-hole.sh
(...)
Whence Result
HOLE 16106127360
Took 176 milliseconds to seek first hole (metadata not cached)
Whence Result
HOLE 16106127360
Took 17 milliseconds to seek first hole (metadata cached)
After this change:
$ ./test-seek-hole.sh
(...)
Whence Result
HOLE 16106127360
Took 43 milliseconds to seek first hole (metadata not cached)
Whence Result
HOLE 16106127360
Took 13 milliseconds to seek first hole (metadata cached)
That's about 4x faster when no metadata is cached and about 30% faster
when all metadata is cached.
In practice the differences may often be significantly higher, either due
to a higher number of extents in a file or because the subvolume's b+tree
is much bigger than in this example, where we only have one file.

Doing hole or data seeking on a file with a very large number of extents
can take a long time, and we have reports of it being too slow (such as
at LSFMM from 2017, see the Link below). So make it interruptible.

When logging an inode, if we detect the inode has a reference that
conflicts with some other inode that got renamed, we log that other inode
while holding the log mutex of the current inode. We then find out if
there are other inodes that conflict with the first conflicting inode,
and log them while under the log mutex of the original inode. This is
fine because the recursion can only happen once.
For the upcoming work where we directly log delayed items without flushing
them first to the subvolume tree, this recursion adds a lot of complexity
and it's hard to keep lockdep happy about it.
So collect a list of conflicting inodes and then log the inodes after
unlocking the log mutex of the inode we started with.
Also limit the maximum number of conflict inodes we log to 10, to avoid
spending too much time logging (and maybe allocating too many list
elements too), as typically we don't have more than 1 or 2 conflicting
inodes - if we go over the limit, simply fallback to a transaction commit.
It is possible to have a very long list of conflicting inodes to be
intentionally created by a user if he/she creates a very long succession
of renames like this:
(...)
rename E to F
rename D to E
rename C to D
rename B to C
rename A to B
touch A (create a new file named A)
fsync A
If that happened for a sequence of hundreds or thousands of renames, it
could massively slow down the logging and cause other secondary effects
like for example blocking other fsync operations and transaction commits
for a very long time (assuming it wouldn't run into -ENOSPC or -ENOMEM
first). However such cases are very uncommon to happen in practice,
nevertheless it's better to be prepared for them and avoid chaos.
Such long sequence of conflicting inodes could be created before this
change.

With CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS, the Linux kernel supports using THPs for
read-only mmapped files, such as shared libraries. However, the kernel
makes no attempt to actually align those mappings on 2MB boundaries,
which makes it impossible to use those THPs most of the time. This issue
applies to general file mapping THP as well as existing setups using
CONFIG_READ_ONLY_THP_FOR_FS. This is easily fixed by using
thp_get_unmapped_area for the unmapped_area function in btrfs, which
is what ext2, ext4, fuse, and xfs all use.
Initially btrfs had been left out in commit 8c07fc452ac0 ("btrfs: fix
alignment of VMA for memory mapped files on THP") as btrfs does not support
DAX. However, commit 1854bc6e24 ("mm/readahead: Align file mappings
for non-DAX") removed the DAX requirement. We should now be able to call
thp_get_unmapped_area() for btrfs.
The problem can be seen in /proc/PID/smaps where THPeligible is set to 0
on mappings to eligible shared object files as shown below.
Before this patch:
7fc6a7e18000-7fc6a80cc000 r-xp 00000000 00:1e 199856
/usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.1.1k
Size: 2768 kB
THPeligible: 0
VmFlags: rd ex mr mw me
With this patch the library is mapped at a 2MB aligned address:
fbdfe200000-7fbdfe4b4000 r-xp 00000000 00:1e 199856
/usr/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.1.1k
Size: 2768 kB
THPeligible: 1
VmFlags: rd ex mr mw me
This fixes the alignment of VMAs for any mmap of a file that has the
rd and ex permissions and size >= 2MB. The VMA alignment and
THPeligible field for anonymous memory is handled separately and
is thus not effected by this change.

btrfs: fix possible memory leak in btrfs_get_dev_args_from_path()
btrfs: check if root is readonly while setting security xattr
When punching a hole into a file range that is adjacent with a hole and we
are not using the no-holes feature, we expand the range of the adjacent
file extent item that represents a hole, to save metadata space.
However we don't update the generation of hole file extent item, which
means a full fsync will not log that file extent item if the fsync happens
in a later transaction (since commit 7f30c07288 ("btrfs: stop copying
old file extents when doing a full fsync")).
For example, if we do this:
$ mkfs.btrfs -f -O ^no-holes /dev/sdb
$ mount /dev/sdb /mnt
$ xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xab 2M 2M" /mnt/foobar
$ sync
We end up with 2 file extent items in our file:
1) One that represents the hole for the file range [0, 2M), with a
generation of 7;
2) Another one that represents an extent covering the range [2M, 4M).
After that if we do the following:
$ xfs_io -c "fpunch 2M 2M" /mnt/foobar
We end up with a single file extent item in the file, which represents a
hole for the range [0, 4M) and with a generation of 7 - because we end
dropping the data extent for range [2M, 4M) and then update the file
extent item that represented the hole at [0, 2M), by increasing
length from 2M to 4M.
Then doing a full fsync and power failing:
$ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/foobar
<power failure>
will result in the full fsync not logging the file extent item that
represents the hole for the range [0, 4M), because its generation is 7,
which is lower than the generation of the current transaction (8).
As a consequence, after mounting again the filesystem (after log replay),
the region [2M, 4M) does not have a hole, it still points to the
previous data extent.
So fix this by always updating the generation of existing file extent
items representing holes when we merge/expand them. This solves the
problem and it's the same approach as when we merge prealloc extents that
got written (at btrfs_mark_extent_written()). Setting the generation to
the current transaction's generation is also what we do when merging
the new hole extent map with the previous one or the next one.
A test case for fstests, covering both cases of hole file extent item
merging (to the left and to the right), will be sent soon.

Merge tag 'for-5.20-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux
Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"This brings some long awaited changes, the send protocol bump,
otherwise lots of small improvements and fixes. The main core part is
reworking bio handling, cleaning up the submission and endio and
improving error handling.
There are some changes outside of btrfs adding helpers or updating
API, listed at the end of the changelog.
Features:
- sysfs:
- export chunk size, in debug mode add tunable for setting its size
- show zoned among features (was only in debug mode)
- show commit stats (number, last/max/total duration)
- send protocol updated to 2
- new commands:
- ability write larger data chunks than 64K
- send raw compressed extents (uses the encoded data ioctls),
ie. no decompression on send side, no compression needed on
receive side if supported
- send 'otime' (inode creation time) among other timestamps
- send file attributes (a.k.a file flags and xflags)
- this is first version bump, backward compatibility on send and
receive side is provided
- there are still some known and wanted commands that will be
implemented in the near future, another version bump will be
needed, however we want to minimize that to avoid causing
usability issues
- print checksum type and implementation at mount time
- don't print some messages at mount (mentioned as people asked about
it), we want to print messages namely for new features so let's
make some space for that
- big metadata - this has been supported for a long time and is
not a feature that's worth mentioning
- skinny metadata - same reason, set by default by mkfs
Performance improvements:
- reduced amount of reserved metadata for delayed items
- when inserted items can be batched into one leaf
- when deleting batched directory index items
- when deleting delayed items used for deletion
- overall improved count of files/sec, decreased subvolume lock
contention
- metadata item access bounds checker micro-optimized, with a few
percent of improved runtime for metadata-heavy operations
- increase direct io limit for read to 256 sectors, improved
throughput by 3x on sample workload
Notable fixes:
- raid56
- reduce parity writes, skip sectors of stripe when there are no
data updates
- restore reading from on-disk data instead of using stripe cache,
this reduces chances to damage correct data due to RMW cycle
- refuse to replay log with unknown incompat read-only feature bit
set
- zoned
- fix page locking when COW fails in the middle of allocation
- improved tracking of active zones, ZNS drives may limit the
number and there are ENOSPC errors due to that limit and not
actual lack of space
- adjust maximum extent size for zone append so it does not cause
late ENOSPC due to underreservation
- mirror reading error messages show the mirror number
- don't fallback to buffered IO for NOWAIT direct IO writes, we don't
have the NOWAIT semantics for buffered io yet
- send, fix sending link commands for existing file paths when there
are deleted and created hardlinks for same files
- repair all mirrors for profiles with more than 1 copy (raid1c34)
- fix repair of compressed extents, unify where error detection and
repair happen
Core changes:
- bio completion cleanups
- don't double defer compression bios
- simplify endio workqueues
- add more data to btrfs_bio to avoid allocation for read requests
- rework bio error handling so it's same what block layer does,
the submission works and errors are consumed in endio
- when asynchronous bio offload fails fall back to synchronous
checksum calculation to avoid errors under writeback or memory
pressure
- new trace points
- raid56 events
- ordered extent operations
- super block log_root_transid deprecated (never used)
- mixed_backref and big_metadata sysfs feature files removed, they've
been default for sufficiently long time, there are no known users
and mixed_backref could be confused with mixed_groups
Non-btrfs changes, API updates:
- minor highmem API update to cover const arguments
- switch all kmap/kmap_atomic to kmap_local
- remove redundant flush_dcache_page()
- address_space_operations::writepage callback removed
- add bdev_max_segments() helper"
