Btrfs: make filesystem read-only when submitting barrier fails
So far the return code of barrier_all_devices() is ignored, which
means that errors are ignored. The result can be a corrupt
filesystem which is not consistent.
This commit adds code to evaluate the return code of
barrier_all_devices(). The normal btrfs_error() mechanism is used to
switch the filesystem into read-only mode when errors are detected.
In order to decide whether barrier_all_devices() should return
error or success, the number of disks that are allowed to fail the
barrier submission is calculated. This calculation accounts for the
worst RAID level of metadata, system and data. If single, dup or
RAID0 is in use, a single disk error is already considered to be
fatal. Otherwise a single disk error is tolerated.
The calculation of the number of disks that are tolerated to fail
the barrier operation is performed when the filesystem gets mounted,
when a balance operation is started and finished, and when devices
are added or removed.

It is because the transaction may not be committed when the transaction handle

btrfs: allow setting NOCOW for a zero sized file via ioctl
Hi,
the patch si simple, but it has user visible impact and I'm not quite sure how
to resolve it.
In short, $subj says it, chattr -C supports it and we want to use it.
The conditions that acutally allow to change the NOCOW flag are clear. What if
I try to set the flag on a file that is not empty? Options:
1) whole ioctl will fail, EINVAL
2.1) ioctl will succeed, the NOCOW flag will be silently removed, but the file
will stay COW-ed and checksummed
2.2) ioctl will succeed, flag will not be removed and a syslog message will
warn that the COW flag has not been changed
2.2.1) dtto, no syslog message
Man page of chattr states that
"If it is set on a file which already has data blocks, it is undefined when
the blocks assigned to the file will be fully stable."
Yes, it's undefined and with current implementation it'll never happen. So from
this end, the user cannot expect anything. I'm trying to find a reasonable
behaviour, so that a command like 'chattr -R -aijS +C' to tweak a broad set of
flags in a deep directory does not fail unnecessarily and does not pollute the
log.
My personal preference is 2.2.1, but my dev's oppinion is skewed, not counting
the fact that I know the code and otherwise would look there before consulting
the documentation.
The patch implements 2.2.1.

From: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.cz>
It's safe to turn off checksums for a zero sized file.
"We cannot switch on NODATASUM for a file that already has extents that
are checksummed. The invariant here is that either all the extents or
none are checksummed.
Theoretically it's possible to add/remove all checksums from a given
file, but it's a potentially longtime operation, the file has to be in
some intermediate state where the checksums partially exist but have to
be ignored (for the csum->nocsum) until the file is fully converted,
this brings more special cases to extent handling, it has to survive
power failure and remain consistent, and probably needs to be restarted
after next mount."

it output the function name, line and error information.
We forget to protect ->log_batch when syncing a file, this patch fix

We should insert/update 6 items(root ref, root backref, dir item, dir index,

The snapshot should be the image of the fs tree before it was created,
so the metadata of the snapshot should not exist in the its tree. But now, we
found the directory item and directory name index is in both the snapshot tree
and the fs tree. It introduces some problems and makes the users feel strange:
# mkfs.btrfs /dev/sda1
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
# mkdir /mnt/1
# cd /mnt/1
# btrfs subvolume snapshot /mnt snap0
# ls -a /mnt/1/snap0/1
. .. [no other file/dir]
# ll /mnt/1/snap0/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10 Ju1 24 12:11 1
^^^
There is no file/dir in it, but it's size is 10
# cd /mnt/1/snap0/1/snap0
[Enter a unexisted directory successfully...]
There is nothing in the directory 1 in snap0, but btrfs told the length of
this directory is 10. Beside that, we can enter an unexisted directory, it is
very strange to the users.
And the source of snap1 did have any directory in Directory 1, but snap1 have
a snap0, it is different between the source and the snapshot.
So I think we should insert directory item and directory name index and update
the parent inode as the last step of snapshot creation, and do not leave the
useless metadata in the file tree.

Sometimes we need choose the method of the reservation according to the type

This because the algorithm of disk_i_size update is wrong. Though there are
some ordered extents behind the current one which we use to update disk_i_size,
it doesn't mean those extents will be dealt with in the same transaction. So
We shouldn't use the offset of those extents to update disk_i_size. Or we will
get the wrong i_size in the snapshot.
We fix this problem by recording the max real i_size. If we find there is a
ordered extent which is in front of the current one and doesn't complete, we
will record the end of the current one into that ordered extent. Surely, if
the current extent holds the end of other extent(it must be greater than
the current one because it is behind the current one), we will record the
number that the current extent holds. In this way, we can exclude the ordered
extents that may not be dealth with in the same transaction, and be easy to
know the real disk_i_size.
Btrfs: fix full backref problem when inserting shared block reference
If we create several snapshots at the same time, the following BUG_ON() will be
triggered.
kernel BUG at fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c:6047!
Steps to reproduce:
# mkfs.btrfs <partition>
# mount <partition> <mnt>
# cd <mnt>
# for ((i=0;i<2400;i++)); do touch long_name_to_make_tree_more_deep$i; done
# for ((i=0; i<4; i++))
> do
> mkdir $i
> for ((j=0; j<200; j++))
> do
> btrfs sub snap . $i/$j
> done &
> done
The reason is:
Before transaction commit, some operations changed the fs tree and new tree
blocks were allocated because of COW. We used the implicit non-shared back
reference for those newly allocated tree blocks because they were not shared by
two or more trees.
And then we created the first snapshot for the fs tree, according to the back
reference rules, we also used implicit back refs for the child tree blocks of
the root node of the fs tree, now those child nodes/leaves were shared by two
trees.
Then We didn't deal with the delayed references, and continued to change the fs
tree(created the second snapshot and inserted the dir item of the new snapshot
into the fs tree). According to the rules of the back reference, we added full
back refs for those tree blocks whose parents have be shared by two trees.
Now some newly allocated tree blocks had two types of the references.
As we know, the delayed reference system handles these delayed references from
back to front, and the full delayed reference is inserted after the implicit
ones. So when we dealt with the back references of those newly allocated tree
blocks, the full references was dealt with at first. And if the first reference
is a shared back reference and the tree block that the reference points to is
newly allocated, It would be considered as a tree block which is shared by two
or more trees when it is allocated and should be a full back reference not a
implicit one, the flag of its reference also should be set to FULL_BACKREF.
But in fact, it was a non-shared tree block with a implicit reference at
beginning, so it was not compulsory to set the flags to FULL_BACKREF. So BUG_ON
was triggered.
We have several methods to fix this bug:
1. deal with delayed references after the snapshot is created and before we
change the source tree of the snapshot. This is the easiest and safest way.
2. modify the sort method of the delayed reference tree, make the full delayed
references be inserted before the implicit ones. It is also very easy, but
I don't know if it will introduce some problems or not.
3. modify select_delayed_ref() and make it select the implicit delayed reference
at first. This way is not so good because it may wastes CPU time if we have
lots of delayed references.
4. set the flags to FULL_BACKREF, this method is a little complex comparing with
the 1st way.
Btrfs: fix error path in create_pending_snapshot()
This patch fixes the following problem:
- If we failed to deal with the delayed dir items, we should abort transaction,
just as its comment said. Fix it.
- If root reference or root back reference insertion failed, we should
abort transaction. Fix it.
- Fix the double free problem of pending->inherit.
- Do not restore the trans->rsv if we doesn't change it.
- make the error path more clearly.

Btrfs: btrfs_drop_extent_cache should never fail
I noticed this when I was doing the fsync stuff, we allocate split extents if we
drop an extent range that is in the middle of an existing extent. This BUG()'s
if we fail to allocate memory, but the fact is this is just a cache, we will
just regenerate the cache if we need it, the important part is that we free the
range we are given. This can be done without allocations, so if we fail to
allocate splits just skip the splitting stage and free our em and look for more
extents to drop. This also makes btrfs_drop_extent_cache a void since nobody
was checking the return value anyway. Thanks,

Btrfs: pass lockdep rwsem metadata to async commit transaction
The freeze rwsem is taken by sb_start_intwrite() and dropped during the
commit_ or end_transaction(). In the async case, that happens in a worker
thread. Tell lockdep the calling thread is releasing ownership of the
rwsem and the async thread is picking it up.

Btrfs: remove unused hint byte argument for btrfs_drop_extents
I audited all users of btrfs_drop_extents and found that nobody actually uses

it's not used now, and the way the pinning works the disk bytenr would never be
immediately useful anyway so lets just remove it. Thanks,

Btrfs: improve fsync by filtering extents that we want
This is based on Josef's "Btrfs: turbo charge fsync".
The above Josef's patch performs very good in random sync write test,
because we won't have too much extents to merge.
However, it does not performs good on the test:
dd if=/dev/zero of=foobar bs=4k count=12500 oflag=sync
The reason is when we do sequencial sync write, we need to merge the
current extent just with the previous one, so that we can get accumulated
extents to log:
A(4k) --> AA(8k) --> AAA(12k) --> AAAA(16k) ...
So we'll have to flush more and more checksum into log tree, which is the
bottleneck according to my tests.
But we can avoid this by telling fsync the real extents that are needed
to be logged.
With this, I did the above dd sync write test (size=50m),

Btrfs: do not needlessly restart the transaction for enospc
We will stop and restart a transaction every time we move to a different leaf
when truncating a file. This is for enospc reasons, but really we could
probably get away with doing this a little better by actually working until we
hit an ENOSPC. So add a ->failfast flag to the block_rsv and set it when we do
truncates which will fail as soon as the block rsv runs out of space, and then
at that point we can stop and restart the transaction and refill the block rsv
and carry on. This will make rm'ing of a file with lots of extents a bit
faster. Thanks,

Btrfs: only warn if we hit an error when doing the tree logging
I hit this a couple times while working on my fsync patch (all my bugs, not
normal operation), but with my new stuff we could have new errors from cases
I have not encountered, so instead of BUG()'ing we should be WARN()'ing so
that we are notified there is a problem but the user doesn't lose their
data. We can easily commit the transaction in the case that the tree
logging fails and still be fine, so let's try and be as nice to the user as
possible. Thanks,

Btrfs: turbo charge fsync
At least for the vm workload. Currently on fsync we will
1) Truncate all items in the log tree for the given inode if they exist
and
2) Copy all items for a given inode into the log
The problem with this is that for things like VMs you can have lots of
extents from the fragmented writing behavior, and worst yet you may have
only modified a few extents, not the entire thing. This patch fixes this
problem by tracking which transid modified our extent, and then when we do
the tree logging we find all of the extents we've modified in our current
transaction, sort them and commit them. We also only truncate up to the
xattrs of the inode and copy that stuff in normally, and then just drop any
extents in the range we have that exist in the log already. Here are some
numbers of a 50 meg fio job that does random writes and fsync()s after every
write
Original Patched
SATA drive 82KB/s 140KB/s
Fusion drive 431KB/s 2532KB/s
So around 2-6 times faster depending on your hardware. There are a few
corner cases, for example if you truncate at all we have to do it the old
way since there is no way to be sure what is in the log is ok. This
probably could be done smarter, but if you write-fsync-truncate-write-fsync
you deserve what you get. All this work is in RAM of course so if your
inode gets evicted from cache and you read it in and fsync it we'll do it
the slow way if we are still in the same transaction that we last modified
the inode in.
The biggest cool part of this is that it requires no changes to the recovery
code, so if you fsync with this patch and crash and load an old kernel, it
will run the recovery and be a-ok. I have tested this pretty thoroughly
with an fsync tester and everything comes back fine, as well as xfstests.

Btrfs: fix possible corruption when fsyncing written prealloced extents
While working on my fsync patch my fsync tester kept hitting mismatching
md5sums when I would randomly write to a prealloc'ed region, syncfs() and
then write to the prealloced region some more and then fsync() and then
immediately reboot. This is because the tree logging code will skip writing
csums for file extents who's generation is less than the current running
transaction. When we mark extents as written we haven't been updating their
generation so they were always being skipped. This wouldn't happen if you
were to preallocate and then write in the same transaction, but if you for
example prealloced a VM you could definitely run into this problem. This
patch makes my fsync tester happy again. Thanks,
