Btrfs: add free space tree sanity tests

2015-12-17T20:16:47+00:00

This tests the operations on the free space tree trying to excercise all
of the main cases for both formats. Between this and xfstests, the free
space tree should have pretty good coverage.

Btrfs: implement the free space B-tree

2015-12-17T20:16:47+00:00

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.

Btrfs: add sanity tests for new qgroup accounting code

2014-06-10T00:20:49+00:00

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,
hopefully this will be usefull in the future.  Thanks,

Btrfs: fix btrfs boot when compiled as built-in

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.

Btrfs: add support for inode properties

2014-01-28T21:20:24+00:00

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.

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.

Btrfs: add tests for find_lock_delalloc_range

So both Liu and I made huge messes of find_lock_delalloc_range trying to fix
stuff, me first by fixing extent size, then him by fixing something I broke and
then me again telling him to fix it a different way.  So this is obviously a
candidate for some testing.  This patch adds a pseudo fs so we can allocate fake
inodes for tests that need an inode or pages.  Then it addes a bunch of tests to
make sure find_lock_delalloc_range is acting the way it is supposed to.  With
this patch and all of our previous patches to find_lock_delalloc_range I am sure
it is working as expected now.  Thanks,

Btrfs: introduce a tree for items that map UUIDs to something

2013-09-01T12:15:52+00:00

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.

Btrfs: separate out tests into their own directory

The plan is to have a bunch of unit tests that run when btrfs is loaded when you
build with the appropriate config option.  My ultimate goal is to have a test
for every non-static function we have, but at first I'm going to focus on the
things that cause us the most problems.  To start out with this just adds a
tests/ directory and moves the existing free space cache tests into that
directory and sets up all of the infrastructure.  Thanks,
