Btrfs: do not use btrfs_end_transaction_throttle everywhere

2012-01-16T20:28:54+00:00

A user reported a problem where things like open with O_CREAT would take up to
30 seconds when he had nfs activity on the same mount.  This is because all of
our quick metadata operations, like create, symlink etc all do
btrfs_end_transaction_throttle, which if the transaction is blocked will wait
for the commit to complete before it returns.  This adds a ridiculous amount of
latency and isn't really needed.  The normal btrfs_end_transaction will mark the
transaction as blocked and wake the transaction kthread up if it thinks the
transaction needs to end (this being in the running out of global reserve space
scenario), and this is all that is really needed since we've already done
everything we're going to do, we just need to return.  This should help people
with the latency they were seeing when using synchronous heavy workloads.
Thanks,

Btrfs: fix regression in re-setting a large xattr

2011-10-19T19:12:56+00:00

Recently I changed the xattr stuff to unconditionally set the xattr first in
case the xattr didn't exist yet.  This has introduced a regression when setting
an xattr that already exists with a large value.  If we find the key we are
looking for split_leaf will assume that we're extending that item.  The problem
is the size we pass down to btrfs_search_slot includes the size of the item
already, so if we have the largest xattr we can possibly have plus the size of
the xattr item plus the xattr item that btrfs_search_slot we'd overflow the
leaf.  Thankfully this is not what we're doing, but split_leaf doesn't know this
so it just returns EOVERFLOW.  So in the xattr code we need to check and see if
we got back EOVERFLOW and treat it like EEXIST since that's really what
happened.  Thanks,

btrfs: xattr: fix attribute removal

2011-09-11T14:52:25+00:00

An attribute is not removed by 'setfattr -x attr file' and remains
visible in attr list. This makes xfstests/062 pass again.

security: new security_inode_init_security API adds function callback

2011-07-18T16:29:38+00:00

This patch changes the security_inode_init_security API by adding a
filesystem specific callback to write security extended attributes.
This change is in preparation for supporting the initialization of
multiple LSM xattrs and the EVM xattr.  Initially the callback function
walks an array of xattrs, writing each xattr separately, but could be
optimized to write multiple xattrs at once.

For existing security_inode_init_security() calls, which have not yet
been converted to use the new callback function, such as those in
reiserfs and ocfs2, this patch defines security_old_inode_init_security().

Btrfs: try to only do one btrfs_search_slot in do_setxattr

2011-07-11T13:58:45+00:00

I've been watching how many btrfs_search_slot()'s we do and I noticed that when
we create a file with selinux enabled we were doing 2 each time we initialize
the security context.  That's because we lookup the xattr first so we can delete
it if we're setting a new value to an existing xattr.  But in the create case we
don't have any xattrs, so it is completely useless to have the extra lookup.  So
re-arrange things so that we only lookup first if we specifically have
XATTR_REPLACE.  That way in the basic case we only do 1 search, and in the more
complicated case we do the normal 2 lookups.  Thanks,

Btrfs: kill BTRFS_I(inode)->block_group

2011-05-23T17:03:12+00:00

Originally this was going to be used as a way to give hints to the allocator,
but frankly we can get much better hints elsewhere and it's not even used at all
for anything usefull.  In addition to be completely useless, when we initialize
an inode we try and find a freeish block group to set as the inodes block group,
and with a completely full 40gb fs this takes _forever_, so I imagine with say
1tb fs this is just unbearable.  So just axe the thing altoghether, we don't
need it and it saves us 8 bytes in the inode and saves us 500 microseconds per
inode lookup in my testcase.  Thanks,
