Truncates and renames are often used to replace old versions of a file
with new versions.  Applications often expect this to be an atomic
replacement, even if they haven't done anything to make sure the new
version is fully on disk.

Btrfs has strict flushing in place to make sure that renaming over an
old file with a new file will fully flush out the new file before
allowing the transaction commit with the rename to complete.

This ordering means the commit code needs to be able to lock file pages,
and there are a few paths in the filesystem where we will try to end a
transaction with the page lock held.  It's rare, but these things can
deadlock.

This patch removes the ordered flushes and switches to a best effort
filemap_flush like ext4 uses. It's not perfect, but it should fix the
deadlocks.

 "The biggest change here is Josef's rework of the btrfs quota

  pagealloc debugging turned on without blowing the stack.  Even though
  you upgraded us to a nice king sized stack, I kept most of the

In these instances, we are trying to determine if a page has been accessed
since we began the operation for the sake of retry.  This is easily
accomplished by doing a gang lookup in the page mapping radix tree, and it
saves us the dependency on the flag (so that we might eventually delete
it).

btrfs_page_exists_in_range borrows heavily from find_get_page, replacing
the radix tree look up with a gang lookup of 1, so that we can find the
next highest page &gt;= index and see if it falls into our lock range.

The log trans id is initialized to be 0 every time we create a log tree,
and the log tree need be re-created after a new transaction is started,
it means the log trans id is unlikely to be a huge number, so we can use
signed integer instead of unsigned long integer to save a bit space.

<title>Btrfs: add support for inode properties</title>

<id>63541927c8d11d2686778b1e8ec71c14b4fd53e4</id>
<content type='text'>
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

100 000 files            52.14                   11.48
1 000 000 files         572.70                  142.13

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.

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.

Test script:

$ cat test.pl
  #!/usr/bin/perl -w

  use strict;
  use Time::HiRes qw(time);
  use constant NUM_FILES =&gt; 10_000;
  use constant FILE_SIZES =&gt; (64 * 1024);
  use constant DEV =&gt; '/dev/sdb4';
  use constant MNT_POINT =&gt; '/home/fdmanana/btrfs-tests/dev';
  use constant TEST_DIR =&gt; (MNT_POINT . '/testdir');

  system("mkfs.btrfs", "-l", "16384", "-f", DEV) == 0 or die "mkfs.btrfs failed!";

  # following line for testing without properties
  #system("mount", "-o", "compress-force=lzo", DEV, MNT_POINT) == 0 or die "mount failed!";

  system("mount", DEV, MNT_POINT) == 0 or die "mount failed!";
  system("btrfs", "prop", "set", MNT_POINT, "compression", "lzo") == 0 or die "set prop failed!";

  system("mkdir", TEST_DIR) == 0 or die "mkdir failed!";
  my ($t1, $t2);

  $t1 = time();
  for (my $i = 1; $i &lt;= NUM_FILES; $i++) {
      my $p = TEST_DIR . '/file_' . $i;
      open(my $f, '&gt;', $p) or die "Error opening file!";
      $f-&gt;autoflush(1);
      for (my $j = 0; $j &lt; FILE_SIZES; $j += 4096) {
          print $f ('A' x 4096) or die "Error writing to file!";
      }
      close($f);
  }
  $t2 = time();
  print "Time to create " . NUM_FILES . ": " . ($t2 - $t1) . " seconds.\n";
  system("umount", DEV) == 0 or die "umount failed!";
  system("mount", DEV, MNT_POINT) == 0 or die "mount failed!";

  $t1 = time();
  system("bash -c 'ls -lha " . TEST_DIR . " &gt; /dev/null'") == 0 or die "ls failed!";
  $t2 = time();
  print "Time to ls -lha all files: " . ($t2 - $t1) . " seconds.\n";

<title>Btrfs: introduce the delayed inode ref deletion for the single link inode</title>

The inode reference item is close to inode item, so we insert it simultaneously
with the inode item insertion when we create a file/directory.. In fact, we also
can handle the inode reference deletion by the same way. So we made this patch to
introduce the delayed inode reference deletion for the single link inode(At most
case, the file doesn't has hard link, so we don't take the hard link into account).

This function is based on the delayed inode mechanism. After applying this patch,
we can reduce the time of the file/directory deletion by ~10%.

<title>Btrfs: improve inode hash function/inode lookup</title>

Currently the hash value used for adding an inode to the VFS's inode
hash table consists of the plain inode number, which is a 64 bits
integer. This results in hash table buckets (hlist_head lists) with
too many elements for at least 2 important scenarios:

1) When we have many subvolumes. Each subvolume has its own btree
   where its files and directories are added to, and each has its
   own objectid (inode number) namespace. This means that if we have
   N subvolumes, and all have inode number X associated to a file or
   directory, the corresponding inodes all map to the same hash table
   entry, resulting in a bucket (hlist_head list) with N elements;

2) On 32 bits machines. Th VFS hash values are unsigned longs, which
   are 32 bits wide on 32 bits machines, and the inode (objectid)
   numbers are 64 bits unsigned integers. We simply cast the inode
   numbers to hash values, which means that for all inodes with the
   same 32 bits lower half, the same hash bucket is used for all of
   them. For example, all inodes with a number (objectid) between
   0x0000_0000_ffff_ffff and 0xffff_ffff_ffff_ffff will end up in
   the same hash table bucket.

This change ensures the inode's hash value depends both on the
objectid (inode number) and its subvolume's (btree root) objectid.
For 32 bits machines, this change gives better entropy by making
the hash value depend on both the upper and lower 32 bits of the
64 bits hash previously computed.

<title>Btrfs: check roots last log commit when checking if an inode has been logged</title>

Liu introduced a local copy of the last log commit for an inode to make sure we
actually log an inode even if a log commit has already taken place.  In order to
make sure we didn't relog the same inode multiple times he set this local copy
to the current trans when we log the inode, because usually we log the inode and
then sync the log.  The exception to this is during rename, we will relog an
inode if the name changed and it is already in the log.  The problem with this
is then we go to sync the inode, and our check to see if the inode has already
been logged is tripped and we don't sync the log.  To fix this we need to _also_
check against the roots last log commit, because it could be less than what is
in our local copy of the log commit.  This fixes a bug where we rename a file
into a directory and then fsync the directory and then on remount the directory
is no longer there.  Thanks,

Before applying this patch, we cached the csum value into the extent state
tree when reading some data from the disk, this operation increased the lock
contention of the state tree.

Now, we just store the csum value into the bio structure or other unshared
structure, so we can reduce the lock contention.
