Error injection stressing uncovered a busy loop in our data reclaim
loop. There are two cases here, one where we loop creating block groups
until space_info->full is set, or in the main loop we will skip erroring
out any tickets if space_info->full == 0. Unfortunately if we aborted
the transaction then we will never allocate chunks or reclaim any space
and thus never get ->full, and you'll see stack traces like this:

It's not uncommon where __btrfs_dump_space_info() gets called
under over-commit situations.
In that case free space would underflow as total allocated space is not
enough to handle all the over-committed space.
Such underflow values can sometimes cause confusion for users enabled
enospc_debug mount option, and takes some seconds for developers to
convert the underflow value to signed result.
Just output the free space as s64 to avoid such problem.

A common characteristic of the bug report where preemptive flushing was
going full tilt was the fact that the vast majority of the free metadata
space was used up by the global reserve. The hard 90% threshold would
cover the majority of these cases, but to be even smarter we should take
into account how much of the outstanding reservations are covered by the
global block reserve. If the global block reserve accounts for the vast
majority of outstanding reservations, skip preemptive flushing, as it
will likely just cause churn and pain.

The preemptive flushing code was added in order to avoid needing to
synchronously wait for ENOSPC flushing to recover space. Once we're
almost full however we can essentially flush constantly. We were using
98% as a threshold to determine if we were simply full, however in
practice this is a really high bar to hit. For example reports of
systems running into this problem had around 94% usage and thus
continued to flush. Fix this by lowering the threshold to 90%, which is
a more sane value, especially for smaller file systems.

I've been debugging an early ENOSPC problem in production and finally
root caused it to this problem. When we switched to the per-inode in
38d715f494 ("btrfs: use btrfs_start_delalloc_roots in
shrink_delalloc") I pulled out the async extent handling, because we
were doing the correct thing by calling filemap_flush() if we had async
extents set. This would properly wait on any async extents by locking
the page in the second flush, thus making sure our ordered extents were
properly set up.
However when I switched us back to page based flushing, I used
sync_inode(), which allows us to pass in our own wbc. The problem here
is that sync_inode() is smarter than the filemap_* helpers, it tries to
avoid calling writepages at all. This means that our second call could
skip calling do_writepages altogether, and thus not wait on the pagelock
for the async helpers. This means we could come back before any ordered
extents were created and then simply continue on in our flushing
mechanisms and ENOSPC out when we have plenty of space to use.
Fix this by putting back the async pages logic in shrink_delalloc. This
allows us to bulk write out everything that we need to, and then we can
wait in one place for the async helpers to catch up, and then wait on
any ordered extents that are created.

We have been hitting some early ENOSPC issues in production with more
recent kernels, and I tracked it down to us simply not flushing delalloc
as aggressively as we should be. With tracing I was seeing us failing
all tickets with all of the block rsvs at or around 0, with very little
pinned space, but still around 120MiB of outstanding bytes_may_used.
Upon further investigation I saw that we were flushing around 14 pages
per shrink call for delalloc, despite having around 2GiB of delalloc
outstanding.
Consider the example of a 8 way machine, all CPUs trying to create a
file in parallel, which at the time of this commit requires 5 items to
do. Assuming a 16k leaf size, we have 10MiB of total metadata reclaim
size waiting on reservations. Now assume we have 128MiB of delalloc
outstanding. With our current math we would set items to 20, and then
set to_reclaim to 20 * 256k, or 5MiB.
Assuming that we went through this loop all 3 times, for both
FLUSH_DELALLOC and FLUSH_DELALLOC_WAIT, and then did the full loop
twice, we'd only flush 60MiB of the 128MiB delalloc space. This could
leave a fair bit of delalloc reservations still hanging around by the
time we go to ENOSPC out all the remaining tickets.
Fix this two ways. First, change the calculations to be a fraction of
the total delalloc bytes on the system. Prior to this change we were
calculating based on dirty inodes so our math made more sense, now it's
just completely unrelated to what we're actually doing.
Second add a FLUSH_DELALLOC_FULL state, that we hold off until we've
gone through the flush states at least once. This will empty the system
of all delalloc so we're sure to be truly out of space when we start
failing tickets.
I'm tagging stable 5.10 and forward, because this is where we started
using the page stuff heavily again. This affects earlier kernel
versions as well, but would be a pain to backport to them as the
flushing mechanisms aren't the same.

This was a trick implemented to handle the case where we had a giant

queue. If the giant reservation was too large for the transaction
commit to make a difference we'd ENOSPC everybody out instead of
committing the transaction. This logic was put in to force us to go
back and re-try the transaction commit logic to see if we could make
progress.
Instead now we know we've committed the transaction, so any space that
would have been recovered is now available, and would be caught by the
btrfs_try_granting_tickets() in this loop, so we no longer need this

may_commit_transaction was introduced before the ticketing
infrastructure existed. There was a problem where we'd legitimately be
out of space, but every reservation would trigger a transaction commit
and then fail. Thus if you had 1000 things trying to make a
reservation, they'd all do the flushing loop and thus commit the
transaction 1000 times before they'd get their ENOSPC.
This helper was introduced to short circuit this, if there wasn't space
that could be reclaimed by committing the transaction then simply ENOSPC
out. This made true ENOSPC tests much faster as we didn't waste a bunch
of time.
However many of our bugs over the years have been from cases where we
didn't account for some space that would be reclaimed by committing a
transaction. The delayed refs rsv space, delayed rsv, many pinned bytes
miscalculations, etc. And in the meantime the original problem has been
solved with ticketing. We no longer will commit the transaction 1000
times. Instead we'll get 1000 waiters, we will go through the flushing
mechanisms, and if there's no progress after 2 loops we ENOSPC everybody
out. The ticketing infrastructure gives us a deterministic way to see
if we're making progress or not, thus we avoid a lot of extra work.
So simplify this step by simply unconditionally committing the
transaction. This removes what is arguably our most common source of
early ENOSPC bugs and will allow us to drastically simplify many of the
things we track because we simply won't need them with this stuff gone.

Instead adjust the ordered bytes down by half, this way if 2/3 of our

In a zoned filesystem a once written then freed region is not usable
until the underlying zone has been reset. So we need to distinguish such
unusable space from usable free space.
Therefore we need to introduce the "zone_unusable" field to the block
group structure, and "bytes_zone_unusable" to the space_info structure
to track the unusable space.
Pinned bytes are always reclaimed to the unusable space. But, when an
allocated region is returned before using e.g., the block group becomes
read-only between allocation time and reservation time, we can safely
return the region to the block group. For the situation, this commit
introduces "btrfs_add_free_space_unused". This behaves the same as
btrfs_add_free_space() on regular filesystem. On zoned filesystems, it
rewinds the allocation offset.
Because the read-only bytes tracks free but unusable bytes when the block
group is read-only, we need to migrate the zone_unusable bytes to
read-only bytes when a block group is marked read-only.

Handle this by clamping down on our threshold for starting and

for our overcommit case, as we can really drive the file system into
overages and then it's more difficult to pull it back as we start to

Fix this by making btrfs_calc_reclaim_metadata_size really only tell us

move the preemptive flushing logic into need_preemptive_reclaim(). We
ignore btrfs_calc_reclaim_metadata_size() in need_preemptive_reclaim()

Currently if we ever have to flush space because we do not have enough
we allocate a ticket and attach it to the space_info, and then
systematically flush things in the filesystem that hold space
reservations until our space is reclaimed.
However this has a latency cost, we must go to sleep and wait for the
flushing to make progress before we are woken up and allowed to continue
doing our work.
In order to address that we used to kick off the async worker to flush
space preemptively, so that we could be reclaiming space hopefully
before any tasks needed to stop and wait for space to reclaim.
When I introduced the ticketed ENOSPC stuff this broke slightly in the
fact that we were using tickets to indicate if we were done flushing.
No tickets, no more flushing. However this meant that we essentially
never preemptively flushed. This caused a write performance regression
that Nikolay noticed in an unrelated patch that removed the committing
of the transaction during btrfs_end_transaction.
The behavior that happened pre that patch was btrfs_end_transaction()
would see that we were low on space, and it would commit the
transaction. This was bad because in this particular case you could end
up with thousands and thousands of transactions being committed during
the 5 minute reproducer. With the patch to remove this behavior we got
much more sane transaction commits, but we ended up slower because we
would write for a while, flush, write for a while, flush again.
To address this we need to reinstate a preemptive flushing mechanism.
However it is distinctly different from our ticketing flushing in that
it doesn't have tickets to base it's decisions on. Instead of bolting
this logic into our existing flushing work, add another worker to handle
this preemptive flushing. Here we will attempt to be slightly
intelligent about the things that we flushing, attempting to balance
between whichever pool is taking up the most space.

It's currently u64 which gets instantly translated either to LONG_MAX
(if U64_MAX is passed) or cast to an unsigned long (which is in fact,
wrong because writeback_control::nr_to_write is a signed, long type).
Just convert the function's argument to be long time which obviates the
need to manually convert u64 value to a long. Adjust all call sites
which pass U64_MAX to pass LONG_MAX. Finally ensure that in
shrink_delalloc the u64 is converted to a long without overflowing,
resulting in a negative number.

Commit 38d715f494 ("btrfs: use btrfs_start_delalloc_roots in
shrink_delalloc") cleaned up how we do delalloc shrinking by utilizing
some infrastructure we have in place to flush inodes that we use for
device replace and snapshot. However this introduced a pretty serious
performance regression. To reproduce the user untarred the source
tarball of Firefox (360MiB xz compressed/1.5GiB uncompressed), and would
see it take anywhere from 5 to 20 times as long to untar in 5.10
compared to 5.9. This was observed on fast devices (SSD and better) and
not on HDD.
The root cause is because before we would generally use the normal
writeback path to reclaim delalloc space, and for this we would provide
it with the number of pages we wanted to flush. The referenced commit
changed this to flush that many inodes, which drastically increased the
amount of space we were flushing in certain cases, which severely
affected performance.
We cannot revert this patch unfortunately because of 3d45f221ce
("btrfs: fix deadlock when cloning inline extent and low on free
metadata space") which requires the ability to skip flushing inodes that
are being cloned in certain scenarios, which means we need to keep using
our flushing infrastructure or risk re-introducing the deadlock.
Instead to fix this problem we can go back to providing
btrfs_start_delalloc_roots with a number of pages to flush, and then set
up a writeback_control and utilize sync_inode() to handle the flushing
for us. This gives us the same behavior we had prior to the fix, while
still allowing us to avoid the deadlock that was fixed by Filipe. I
redid the users original test and got the following results on one of
our test machines (256GiB of ram, 56 cores, 2TiB Intel NVMe drive)
5.9 0m54.258s
5.10 1m26.212s
5.10+patch 0m38.800s
5.10+patch is significantly faster than plain 5.9 because of my patch
series "Change data reservations to use the ticketing infra" which
contained the patch that introduced the regression, but generally
improved the overall ENOSPC flushing mechanisms.
Additional testing on consumer-grade SSD (8GiB ram, 8 CPU) confirm

When cloning an inline extent there are cases where we can not just copy
the inline extent from the source range to the target range (e.g. when the
target range starts at an offset greater than zero). In such cases we copy
the inline extent's data into a page of the destination inode and then
dirty that page. However, after that we will need to start a transaction
for each processed extent and, if we are ever low on available metadata
space, we may need to flush existing delalloc for all dirty inodes in an
attempt to release metadata space - if that happens we may deadlock:
* the async reclaim task queued a delalloc work to flush delalloc for
the destination inode of the clone operation;
* the task executing that delalloc work gets blocked waiting for the
range with the dirty page to be unlocked, which is currently locked
by the task doing the clone operation;
* the async reclaim task blocks waiting for the delalloc work to complete;
* the cloning task is waiting on the waitqueue of its reservation ticket
while holding the range with the dirty page locked in the inode's
io_tree;
* if metadata space is not released by some other task (like delalloc for
some other inode completing for example), the clone task waits forever
and as a consequence the delalloc work and async reclaim tasks will hang
forever as well. Releasing more space on the other hand may require
starting a transaction, which will hang as well when trying to reserve
metadata space, resulting in a deadlock between all these tasks.
When this happens, traces like the following show up in dmesg/syslog:

task above, because the async reclaim task has deadlocked >
(...)
Another thing to notice is that the worker task that is deadlocked when
trying to flush the destination inode of the clone operation is at
btrfs_invalidatepage(). This is simply because the clone operation has a
destination offset greater than the i_size and we only update the i_size
of the destination file after cloning an extent (just like we do in the
buffered write path).
Since the async reclaim path uses btrfs_start_delalloc_roots() to trigger
the flushing of delalloc for all inodes that have delalloc, add a runtime
flag to an inode to signal it should not be flushed, and for inodes with
that flag set, start_delalloc_inodes() will simply skip them. When the
cloning code needs to dirty a page to copy an inline extent, set that flag
on the inode and then clear it when the clone operation finishes.
This could be sporadically triggered with test case generic/269 from
fstests, which exercises many fsstress processes running in parallel with
several dd processes filling up the entire filesystem.

Dave reported an issue where generic/102 would sometimes hang. This
turned out to be because we'd get into this spot where we were no longer
making progress on data reservations because our exit condition was not
met. The log is basically
while (!space_info->full && !list_empty(&space_info->tickets))
flush_space(space_info, flush_state);
where flush state is our various flush states, but doesn't include
ALLOC_CHUNK_FORCE. This is because we actually lead with allocating
chunks, and so the assumption was that once you got to the actual
flushing states you could no longer allocate chunks. This was a stupid
assumption, because you could have deleted block groups that would be
reclaimed by a transaction commit, thus unsetting space_info->full.
This is essentially what happens with generic/102, and so sometimes
you'd get stuck in the flushing loop because we weren't allocating
chunks, but flushing space wasn't giving us what we needed to make
progress.
Fix this by adding ALLOC_CHUNK_FORCE to the end of our flushing states,
that way we will eventually bail out because we did end up with
space_info->full if we free'd a chunk previously. Otherwise, as is the
case for this test, we'll allocate our chunk and continue on our happy
merry way.

reservations to use an async reclaim helper to satisfy tickets. Before
we could have multiple tasks race in and both allocate chunks, resulting
in more data chunks than we would necessarily need. Serializing these
allocations and making a single thread responsible for flushing will
only allocate chunks as needed, as well as cut down on transaction
commits and other flush related activities.
Priority reservations will still work as they have before, simply
trying to allocate a chunk until they can make their reservation.

Nikolay reported a problem where generic/371 would fail sometimes with a
slow drive. The gist of the test is that we fallocate a file in
parallel with a pwrite of a different file. These two files combined
are smaller than the file system, but sometimes the pwrite would ENOSPC.
A fair bit of investigation uncovered the fact that the fallocate
workload was racing in and grabbing the free space that the pwrite
workload was trying to free up so it could make its own reservation.
After a few loops of this eventually the pwrite workload would error out
with an ENOSPC.
We've had the same problem with metadata as well, and we serialized all
metadata allocations to satisfy this problem. This wasn't usually a
problem with data because data reservations are more straightforward,
but obviously could still happen.
Fix this by not allowing reservations to occur if there are any pending
tickets waiting to be satisfied on the space info.

making data reservations.
This patch specifically does not change any functionality, and is
purposefully not cleaned up in order to make bisection easier for the
future patches. The new helper is identical to the old helper in how it
handles data reservations. We first try to force a chunk allocation,
and then we run through the flush states all at once and in the same
order that they were done with the old helper.
Subsequent patches will clean this up and change the behavior of the
flushing, and it is important to keep those changes separate so we can
easily bisect down to the patch that caused the regression, rather than
the patch that made us start using the new infrastructure.
