Currently there is only one user for btrfs metadata readahead, and
that's scrub.
But even for the single user, it's not providing the correct
functionality it needs, as scrub needs reada for commit root, which
current readahead can't provide. (Although it's pretty easy to add such
feature).
Despite this, there are some extra problems related to metadata
readahead:
- Duplicated feature with btrfs_path::reada
- Partly duplicated feature of btrfs_fs_info::buffer_radix
Btrfs already caches its metadata in buffer_radix, while readahead
tries to read the tree block no matter if it's already cached.
- Poor layer separation
Metadata readahead works kinda at device level.
This is definitely not the correct layer it should be, since metadata
is at btrfs logical address space, it should not bother device at all.
This brings extra chance for bugs to sneak in, while brings
unnecessary complexity.
- Dead code
In the very beginning of scrub.c we have #undef DEBUG, rendering all
the debug related code useless and unable to test.
Thus here I purpose to remove the metadata readahead mechanism
completely.
[BENCHMARK]
There is a full benchmark for the scrub performance difference using the
old btrfs_reada_add() and btrfs_path::reada.
For the worst case (no dirty metadata, slow HDD), there could be a 5%
performance drop for scrub.
For other cases (even SATA SSD), there is no distinguishable performance
difference.
The number is reported scrub speed, in MiB/s.
The resolution is limited by the reported duration, which only has a
resolution of 1 second.
Old New Diff
SSD 455.3 466.332 +2.42%
HDD 103.927 98.012 -5.69%
Comprehensive test methodology is in the cover letter of the patch.

Add support for fsverity in btrfs. To support the generic interface in
fs/verity, we add two new item types in the fs tree for inodes with
verity enabled. One stores the per-file verity descriptor and btrfs
verity item and the other stores the Merkle tree data itself.
Verity checking is done in end_page_read just before a page is marked
uptodate. This naturally handles a variety of edge cases like holes,
preallocated extents, and inline extents. Some care needs to be taken to
not try to verity pages past the end of the file, which are accessed by
the generic buffered file reading code under some circumstances like
reading to the end of the last page and trying to read again. Direct IO
on a verity file falls back to buffered reads.
Verity relies on PageChecked for the Merkle tree data itself to avoid
re-walking up shared paths in the tree. For this reason, we need to
cache the Merkle tree data. Since the file is immutable after verity is
turned on, we can cache it at an index past EOF.
Use the new inode ro_flags to store verity on the inode item, so that we
can enable verity on a file, then rollback to an older kernel and still
mount the file system and read the file. Since we can't safely write the
file anymore without ruining the invariants of the Merkle tree, we mark
a ro_compat flag on the file system when a file has verity enabled.

The tree modification log, which records modifications done to btrees, is
quite large and currently spread all over ctree.c, which is a huge file
already.
To make things better organized, move all that code into its own separate
source and header files. Functions and definitions that are used outside
of the module (mostly by ctree.c) are renamed so that they start with a
"btrfs_" prefix. Everything else remains unchanged.
This makes it easier to go over the tree modification log code every

When discard is enabled, everytime a pinned extent is released back to
the block_group's free space cache, a discard is issued for the extent.
This is an overeager approach when it comes to discarding and helping
the SSD maintain enough free space to prevent severe garbage collection
situations.
This adds the beginning of async discard. Instead of issuing a discard
prior to returning it to the free space, it is just marked as untrimmed.
The block_group is then added to a LRU which then feeds into a workqueue
to issue discards at a much slower rate. Full discarding of unused block
groups is still done and will be addressed in a future patch of the
series.
For now, we don't persist the discard state of extents and bitmaps.
Therefore, our failure recovery mode will be to consider extents
untrimmed. This lets us handle failure and unmounting as one in the
same.
On a number of Facebook webservers, I collected data every minute
accounting the time we spent in btrfs_finish_extent_commit() (col. 1)
and in btrfs_commit_transaction() (col. 2). btrfs_finish_extent_commit()
is where we discard extents synchronously before returning them to the
free space cache.
discard=sync:
p99 total per minute p99 total per minute
Drive | extent_commit() (ms) | commit_trans() (ms)
---------------------------------------------------------------
Drive A | 434 | 1170
Drive B | 880 | 2330
Drive C | 2943 | 3920
Drive D | 4763 | 5701

--------------------------------------------------------------
Drive A | 134 | 956
Drive B | 64 | 1972
Drive C | 59 | 1032
Drive D | 62 | 1200
While it's not great that the stats are cumulative over 1m, all of these
servers are running the same workload and and the delta between the two
are substantial. We are spending significantly less time in
btrfs_finish_extent_commit() which is responsible for discarding.

The custom crc32 init code was introduced in
14a958e678 ("Btrfs: fix btrfs boot when compiled as built-in") to
enable using btrfs as a built-in. However, later as pointed out by
60efa5eb2e ("Btrfs: use late_initcall instead of module_init") this
wasn't enough and finally btrfs was switched to late_initcall which
comes after the generic crc32c implementation is initiliased. The
latter commit superseeded the former. Now that we don't have to
maintain our own code let's just remove it and switch to using the
generic implementation.
Despite touching a lot of files the patch is really simple. Here is the gist of
the changes:
1. Select LIBCRC32C rather than the low-level modules.
2. s/btrfs_crc32c/crc32c/g
3. replace hash.h with linux/crc32c.h
4. Move the btrfs namehash funcs to ctree.h and change the tree accordingly.
I've tested this with btrfs being both a module and a built-in and xfstest
doesn't complain.
Does seem to fix the longstanding problem of not automatically selectiong
the crc32c module when btrfs is used. Possibly there is a workaround in
dracut.
The modinfo confirms that now all the module dependencies are there:
before:
depends: zstd_compress,zstd_decompress,raid6_pq,xor,zlib_deflate
after:
depends: libcrc32c,zstd_compress,zstd_decompress,raid6_pq,xor,zlib_deflate

- v2 of ioctl "extent to inode mapping", addressing a usecase where
we want to retrieve more but inaccurate results and do the
postprocessing in userspace, aiding defragmentation or

- populate compression heuristics logic, do data sampling and try to
guess compressibility by: looking for repeated patterns, counting
unique byte values and distribution, calculating Shannon entropy;
this will need more benchmarking and possibly fine tuning, but the
base should be good enough
- enable indexing for btrfs as lower filesystem in overlayfs
- speedup page cache readahead during send on large files
Internal enhancements:
- more sanity checks of b-tree items when reading them from disk
- more EINVAL/EUCLEAN fixups, missing BLK_STS_* conversion, other
errno or error handling fixes
- remove some homegrown IO-related logic, that's been obsoleted by

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Add zstd compression and decompression support to BtrFS. zstd at its
fastest level compresses almost as well as zlib, while offering much
faster compression and decompression, approaching lzo speeds.
I benchmarked btrfs with zstd compression against no compression, lzo
compression, and zlib compression. I benchmarked two scenarios. Copying
a set of files to btrfs, and then reading the files. Copying a tarball
to btrfs, extracting it to btrfs, and then reading the extracted files.
After every operation, I call `sync` and include the sync time.
Between every pair of operations I unmount and remount the filesystem
to avoid caching. The benchmark files can be found in the upstream
zstd source repository under
`contrib/linux-kernel/{btrfs-benchmark.sh,btrfs-extract-benchmark.sh}`
[1] [2].
I ran the benchmarks on a Ubuntu 14.04 VM with 2 cores and 4 GiB of RAM.
The VM is running on a MacBook Pro with a 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7 processor,
16 GB of RAM, and a SSD.
The first compression benchmark is copying 10 copies of the unzipped
Silesia corpus [3] into a BtrFS filesystem mounted with
`-o compress-force=Method`. The decompression benchmark times how long
it takes to `tar` all 10 copies into `/dev/null`. The compression ratio is
measured by comparing the output of `df` and `du`. See the benchmark file
[1] for details. I benchmarked multiple zstd compression levels, although
the patch uses zstd level 1.
| Method | Ratio | Compression MB/s | Decompression speed |
|---------|-------|------------------|---------------------|
| None | 0.99 | 504 | 686 |
| lzo | 1.66 | 398 | 442 |
| zlib | 2.58 | 65 | 241 |
| zstd 1 | 2.57 | 260 | 383 |
| zstd 3 | 2.71 | 174 | 408 |
| zstd 6 | 2.87 | 70 | 398 |
| zstd 9 | 2.92 | 43 | 406 |
| zstd 12 | 2.93 | 21 | 408 |
| zstd 15 | 3.01 | 11 | 354 |
The next benchmark first copies `linux-4.11.6.tar` [4] to btrfs. Then it
measures the compression ratio, extracts the tar, and deletes the tar.
Then it measures the compression ratio again, and `tar`s the extracted
files into `/dev/null`. See the benchmark file [2] for details.
| Method | Tar Ratio | Extract Ratio | Copy (s) | Extract (s)| Read (s) |
|--------|-----------|---------------|----------|------------|----------|
| None | 0.97 | 0.78 | 0.981 | 5.501 | 8.807 |
| lzo | 2.06 | 1.38 | 1.631 | 8.458 | 8.585 |
| zlib | 3.40 | 1.86 | 7.750 | 21.544 | 11.744 |

The free space cache has turned out to be a scalability bottleneck on
large, busy filesystems. When the cache for a lot of block groups needs
to be written out, we can get extremely long commit times; if this
happens in the critical section, things are especially bad because we
block new transactions from happening.
The main problem with the free space cache is that it has to be written
out in its entirety and is managed in an ad hoc fashion. Using a B-tree
to store free space fixes this: updates can be done as needed and we get
all of the benefits of using a B-tree: checksumming, RAID handling,
well-understood behavior.
With the free space tree, we get commit times that are about the same as
the no cache case with load times slower than the free space cache case
but still much faster than the no cache case. Free space is represented
with extents until it becomes more space-efficient to use bitmaps,
giving us similar space overhead to the free space cache.
The operations on the free space tree are: adding and removing free
space, handling the creation and deletion of block groups, and loading
the free space for a block group. We can also create the free space tree
by walking the extent tree and clear the free space tree.

This exercises the various parts of the new qgroup accounting code. We do some
basic stuff and do some things with the shared refs to make sure all that code
works. I had to add a bunch of infrastructure because I needed to be able to
insert items into a fake tree without having to do all the hard work myself,

The issue here is that the initialization function of btrfs (super.c:init_btrfs_fs)
started using crc32c (from lib/libcrc32c.c). But when it needs to call crc32c (as
part of the properties initialization routine), the libcrc32c is not yet initialized,
so crc32c derreferenced a NULL pointer (lib/libcrc32c.c:tfm), causing the kernel
panic on boot.
The approach to fix this is to use crypto component directly to use its crc32c (which
is basically what lib/libcrc32c.c is, a wrapper around crypto). This is what ext4 is
doing as well, it uses crypto directly to get crc32c functionality.
Verified this works both when btrfs is built-in and when it's loadable kernel module.

This change adds infrastructure to allow for generic properties for
inodes. Properties are name/value pairs that can be associated with
inodes for different purposes. They are stored as xattrs with the
prefix "btrfs."
Properties can be inherited - this means when a directory inode has
inheritable properties set, these are added to new inodes created
under that directory. Further, subvolumes can also have properties
associated with them, and they can be inherited from their parent
subvolume. Naturally, directory properties have priority over subvolume
properties (in practice a subvolume property is just a regular
property associated with the root inode, objectid 256, of the
subvolume's fs tree).
This change also adds one specific property implementation, named
"compression", whose values can be "lzo" or "zlib" and it's an
inheritable property.
The corresponding changes to btrfs-progs were also implemented.
A patch with xfstests for this feature will follow once there's
agreement on this change/feature.
Further, the script at the bottom of this commit message was used to
do some benchmarks to measure any performance penalties of this feature.
Basically the tests correspond to:
Test 1 - create a filesystem and mount it with compress-force=lzo,
then sequentially create N files of 64Kb each, measure how long it took
to create the files, unmount the filesystem, mount the filesystem and
perform an 'ls -lha' against the test directory holding the N files, and
report the time the command took.
Test 2 - create a filesystem and don't use any compression option when
mounting it - instead set the compression property of the subvolume's
root to 'lzo'. Then create N files of 64Kb, and report the time it took.
The unmount the filesystem, mount it again and perform an 'ls -lha' like
in the former test. This means every single file ends up with a property
(xattr) associated to it.
Test 3 - same as test 2, but uses 4 properties - 3 are duplicates of the
compression property, have no real effect other than adding more work
when inheriting properties and taking more btree leaf space.
Test 4 - same as test 3 but with 10 properties per file.
Results (in seconds, and averages of 5 runs each), for different N
numbers of files follow.
* Without properties (test 1)
file creation time ls -lha time
10 000 files 3.49 0.76
100 000 files 47.19 8.37
1 000 000 files 518.51 107.06
* With 1 property (compression property set to lzo - test 2)
file creation time ls -lha time
10 000 files 3.63 0.93
100 000 files 48.56 9.74
1 000 000 files 537.72 125.11
* With 4 properties (test 3)
file creation time ls -lha time
10 000 files 3.94 1.20
100 000 files 52.14 11.48
1 000 000 files 572.70 142.13
* With 10 properties (test 4)
file creation time ls -lha time
10 000 files 4.61 1.35
100 000 files 58.86 13.83
1 000 000 files 656.01 177.61
The increased latencies with properties are essencialy because of:
*) When creating an inode, we now synchronously write 1 more item
(an xattr item) for each property inherited from the parent dir
(or subvolume). This could be done in an asynchronous way such
as we do for dir intex items (delayed-inode.c), which could help
reduce the file creation latency;
*) With properties, we now have larger fs trees. For this particular
test each xattr item uses 75 bytes of leaf space in the fs tree.
This could be less by using a new item for xattr items, instead of
the current btrfs_dir_item, since we could cut the 'location' and
'type' fields (saving 18 bytes) and maybe 'transid' too (saving a
total of 26 bytes per xattr item) from the btrfs_dir_item type.
Also tried batching the xattr insertions (ignoring proper hash
collision handling, since it didn't exist) when creating files that
inherit properties from their parent inode/subvolume, but the end
results were (surprisingly) essentially the same.

Mapping UUIDs to subvolume IDs is an operation with a high effort
today. Today, the algorithm even has quadratic effort (based on the
number of existing subvolumes), which means, that it takes minutes
to send/receive a single subvolume if 10,000 subvolumes exist. But
even linear effort would be too much since it is a waste. And these
data structures to allow mapping UUIDs to subvolume IDs are created
every time a btrfs send/receive instance is started.
It is much more efficient to maintain a searchable persistent data
structure in the filesystem, one that is updated whenever a
subvolume/snapshot is created and deleted, and when the received
subvolume UUID is set by the btrfs-receive tool.
Therefore kernel code is added with this commit that is able to
maintain data structures in the filesystem that allow to quickly
search for a given UUID and to retrieve data that is assigned to
this UUID, like which subvolume ID is related to this UUID.
This commit adds a new tree to hold UUID-to-data mapping items. The
key of the items is the full UUID plus the key type BTRFS_UUID_KEY.
Multiple data blocks can be stored for a given UUID, a type/length/
value scheme is used.
Now follows the lengthy justification, why a new tree was added
instead of using the existing root tree:
The first approach was to not create another tree that holds UUID
items. Instead, the items should just go into the top root tree.
Unfortunately this confused the algorithm to assign the objectid
of subvolumes and snapshots. The reason is that
btrfs_find_free_objectid() calls btrfs_find_highest_objectid() for
the first created subvol or snapshot after mounting a filesystem,
and this function simply searches for the largest used objectid in
the root tree keys to pick the next objectid to assign. Of course,
the UUID keys have always been the ones with the highest offset
value, and the next assigned subvol ID was wastefully huge.
To use any other existing tree did not look proper. To apply a
workaround such as setting the objectid to zero in the UUID item
key and to implement collision handling would either add
limitations (in case of a btrfs_extend_item() approach to handle
the collisions) or a lot of complexity and source code (in case a
key would be looked up that is free of collisions). Adding new code
that introduces limitations is not good, and adding code that is
complex and lengthy for no good reason is also not good. That's the
justification why a completely new tree was introduced.

This builds on David Woodhouse's original Btrfs raid5/6 implementation.
The code has changed quite a bit, blame Chris Mason for any bugs.
Read/modify/write is done after the higher levels of the filesystem have
prepared a given bio. This means the higher layers are not responsible
for building full stripes, and they don't need to query for the topology
of the extents that may get allocated during delayed allocation runs.
It also means different files can easily share the same stripe.
But, it does expose us to incorrect parity if we crash or lose power
while doing a read/modify/write cycle. This will be addressed in a
later commit.
Scrub is unable to repair crc errors on raid5/6 chunks.
Discard does not work on raid5/6 (yet)
The stripe size is fixed at 64KiB per disk. This will be tunable
in a later commit.

This is the implementation for the generic read ahead framework.
To trigger a readahead, btrfs_reada_add must be called. It will start
a read ahead for the given range [start, end) on tree root. The returned
handle can either be used to wait on the readahead to finish
(btrfs_reada_wait), or to send it to the background (btrfs_reada_detach).
The read ahead works as follows:
On btrfs_reada_add, the root of the tree is inserted into a radix_tree.
reada_start_machine will then search for extents to prefetch and trigger
some reads. When a read finishes for a node, all contained node/leaf
pointers that lie in the given range will also be enqueued. The reads will
be triggered in sequential order, thus giving a big win over a naive
enumeration. It will also make use of multi-device layouts. Each disk
will have its on read pointer and all disks will by utilized in parallel.
Also will no two disks read both sides of a mirror simultaneously, as this
would waste seeking capacity. Instead both disks will read different parts
of the filesystem.
Any number of readaheads can be started in parallel. The read order will be
determined globally, i.e. 2 parallel readaheads will normally finish faster
than the 2 started one after another.
Changes v2:
- protect root->node by transaction instead of node_lock
- fix missed branches:
The readahead had a too simple check to determine if a branch from
a node should be checked or not. It now also records the upper bound
of each node to see if the requested RA range lies within.
- use KERN_CONT to debug output, to avoid line breaks
- defer reada_start_machine to worker to avoid deadlock
Changes v3:
- protect root->node by rcu
Changes v5:
- changed EIO-semantics of reada_tree_block_flagged
- remove spin_lock from reada_control and make elems an atomic_t
- remove unused read_total from reada_control
- kill reada_key_cmp, use btrfs_comp_cpu_keys instead
- use kref-style release functions where possible
- return struct reada_control * instead of void * from btrfs_reada_add

Changelog V1 -> V2:
- break up the global rb-tree, use a list to manage the delayed nodes,
which is created for every directory and file, and used to manage the
delayed directory name index items and the delayed inode item.
- introduce a worker to deal with the delayed nodes.
Compare with Ext3/4, the performance of file creation and deletion on btrfs
is very poor. the reason is that btrfs must do a lot of b+ tree insertions,
such as inode item, directory name item, directory name index and so on.
If we can do some delayed b+ tree insertion or deletion, we can improve the
performance, so we made this patch which implemented delayed directory name
index insertion/deletion and delayed inode update.
Implementation:
- introduce a delayed root object into the filesystem, that use two lists to
manage the delayed nodes which are created for every file/directory.
One is used to manage all the delayed nodes that have delayed items. And the
other is used to manage the delayed nodes which is waiting to be dealt with
by the work thread.
- Every delayed node has two rb-tree, one is used to manage the directory name
index which is going to be inserted into b+ tree, and the other is used to
manage the directory name index which is going to be deleted from b+ tree.
- introduce a worker to deal with the delayed operation. This worker is used
to deal with the works of the delayed directory name index items insertion
and deletion and the delayed inode update.
When the delayed items is beyond the lower limit, we create works for some
delayed nodes and insert them into the work queue of the worker, and then
go back.
When the delayed items is beyond the upper bound, we create works for all
the delayed nodes that haven't been dealt with, and insert them into the work
queue of the worker, and then wait for that the untreated items is below some
threshold value.
- When we want to insert a directory name index into b+ tree, we just add the
information into the delayed inserting rb-tree.
And then we check the number of the delayed items and do delayed items
balance. (The balance policy is above.)
- When we want to delete a directory name index from the b+ tree, we search it
in the inserting rb-tree at first. If we look it up, just drop it. If not,
add the key of it into the delayed deleting rb-tree.
Similar to the delayed inserting rb-tree, we also check the number of the
delayed items and do delayed items balance.
(The same to inserting manipulation)
- When we want to update the metadata of some inode, we cached the data of the
inode into the delayed node. the worker will flush it into the b+ tree after
dealing with the delayed insertion and deletion.
- We will move the delayed node to the tail of the list after we access the
delayed node, By this way, we can cache more delayed items and merge more
inode updates.
- If we want to commit transaction, we will deal with all the delayed node.
- the delayed node will be freed when we free the btrfs inode.
- Before we log the inode items, we commit all the directory name index items
and the delayed inode update.
I did a quick test by the benchmark tool[1] and found we can improve the
performance of file creation by ~15%, and file deletion by ~20%.

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.

Lzo is a much faster compression algorithm than gzib, so would allow
more users to enable transparent compression, and some users can
choose from compression ratio and speed for different applications
Usage:
# mount -t btrfs -o compress[=<zlib,lzo>] dev /mnt
or
# mount -t btrfs -o compress-force[=<zlib,lzo>] dev /mnt
"-o compress" without argument is still allowed for compatability.
Compatibility:
If we mount a filesystem with lzo compression, it will not be able be
mounted in old kernels. One reason is, otherwise btrfs will directly
dump compressed data, which sits in inline extent, to user.
Performance:
The test copied a linux source tarball (~400M) from an ext4 partition
to the btrfs partition, and then extracted it.

This commit introduces a new kind of back reference for btrfs metadata.
Once a filesystem has been mounted with this commit, IT WILL NO LONGER
BE MOUNTABLE BY OLDER KERNELS.
When a tree block in subvolume tree is cow'd, the reference counts of all
extents it points to are increased by one. At transaction commit time,
the old root of the subvolume is recorded in a "dead root" data structure,
and the btree it points to is later walked, dropping reference counts
and freeing any blocks where the reference count goes to 0.
The increments done during cow and decrements done after commit cancel out,
and the walk is a very expensive way to go about freeing the blocks that
are no longer referenced by the new btree root. This commit reduces the
transaction overhead by avoiding the need for dead root records.
When a non-shared tree block is cow'd, we free the old block at once, and the
new block inherits old block's references. When a tree block with reference
count > 1 is cow'd, we increase the reference counts of all extents
the new block points to by one, and decrease the old block's reference count by
one.
This dead tree avoidance code removes the need to modify the reference
counts of lower level extents when a non-shared tree block is cow'd.
But we still need to update back ref for all pointers in the block.
This is because the location of the block is recorded in the back ref
item.
We can solve this by introducing a new type of back ref. The new
back ref provides information about pointer's key, level and in which
tree the pointer lives. This information allow us to find the pointer
by searching the tree. The shortcoming of the new back ref is that it
only works for pointers in tree blocks referenced by their owner trees.
This is mostly a problem for snapshots, where resolving one of these
fuzzy back references would be O(number_of_snapshots) and quite slow.
The solution used here is to use the fuzzy back references in the common
case where a given tree block is only referenced by one root,
and use the full back references when multiple roots have a reference
on a given block.
This commit adds per subvolume red-black tree to keep trace of cached
inodes. The red-black tree helps the balancing code to find cached
inodes whose inode numbers within a given range.
This commit improves the balancing code by introducing several data
structures to keep the state of balancing. The most important one
is the back ref cache. It caches how the upper level tree blocks are
referenced. This greatly reduce the overhead of checking back ref.
The improved balancing code scales significantly better with a large
number of snapshots.
This is a very large commit and was written in a number of
pieces. But, they depend heavily on the disk format change and were
squashed together to make sure git bisect didn't end up in a
bad state wrt space balancing or the format change.

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.
