193f284d49 Btrfs: ratelimit IO error printks
Btrfs has printks for various IO errors, including bad checksums and
mismatches between what we expect the block headers to contain and what
we actually find on the disk.

Longer term we need a real reporting mechanism for this, but for now
printk is going to have to do.

d6397baee4 Btrfs: When shrinking, only update disk size on success
Previously, we updated a device's size prior to attempting a shrink
operation.  This patch moves the device resizing logic to only happen if
the shrink completes successfully.  In the process, it introduces a new
field to btrfs_device -- disk_total_bytes -- to track the on-disk size.

59bc5c758e Btrfs: fix deadlocks and stalls on dead root removal
After a transaction commit, the old root of the subvol btrees are sent through
snapshot removal.  This is what actually frees up any blocks replaced by
COW, and anything the old blocks pointed to.

Snapshot deletion will pause when a transaction commit has started, which
helps to avoid a huge amount of delayed reference count updates piling up
as the transaction is trying to close.

But, this pause happens after the snapshot deletion process has asked other
procs on the system to throttle back a bit so that it can make progress.

We don't want to throttle everyone while we're waiting for the transaction
commit, it leads to deadlocks in the user transaction ioctls used by Ceph
and makes things slower in general.

This patch changes things to avoid the throttling while we sleep.

e980b50cda Btrfs: fix fallocate deadlock on inode extent lock
The btrfs fallocate call takes an extent lock on the entire range
being fallocated, and then runs through insert_reserved_extent on each
extent as they are allocated.

The problem with this is that btrfs_drop_extents may decide to try
and take the same extent lock fallocate was already holding.  The solution
used here is to push down knowledge of the range that is already locked
going into btrfs_drop_extents.

It turns out that at least one other caller had the same bug.

97e728d435 Btrfs: try to keep a healthy ratio of metadata vs data block groups
This patch makes the chunk allocator keep a good ratio of metadata vs data
block groups.  By default for every 8 data block groups, we'll allocate 1
metadata chunk, or about 12% of the disk will be allocated for metadata.  This
can be changed by specifying the metadata_ratio mount option.

This is simply the number of data block groups that have to be allocated to
force a metadata chunk allocation.  By making sure we allocate metadata chunks
more often, we are less likely to get into situations where the whole disk
has been allocated as data block groups.

546888da82 Btrfs: fix btrfs fallocate oops and deadlock
Btrfs fallocate was incorrectly starting a transaction with a lock held
on the extent_io tree for the file, which could deadlock.  Strictly
speaking it was using join_transaction which would be safe, but it is better
to move the transaction outside of the lock.

When preallocated extents are overwritten, btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty was
being called on an unlocked buffer.  This was triggering an assertion and
oops because the lock is supposed to be held.

The bug was calling btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty on a leaf after btrfs_del_item had
been run.  btrfs_del_item takes care of dirtying things, so the solution is a
to skip the btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty call in this case.

8c594ea81d Btrfs: use the right node in reada_for_balance
reada_for_balance was using the wrong index into the path node array,
so it wasn't reading the right blocks.  We never directly used the
results of the read done by this function because the btree search is
started over at the end.

This fixes reada_for_balance to reada in the correct node and to
avoid searching past the last slot in the node.  It also makes sure to
hold the parent lock while we are finding the nodes to read.

11c8349b4e Btrfs: fix oops on page->mapping->host during writepage
The extent_io writepage call updates the writepage index in the inode
as it makes progress.  But, it was doing the update after unlocking the page,
which isn't legal because page->mapping can't be trusted once the page
is unlocked.

This lead to an oops, especially common with compression turned on.  The
fix here is to update the writeback index before unlocking the page.

d313d7a31a Btrfs: add a priority queue to the async thread helpers
Btrfs is using WRITE_SYNC_PLUG to send down synchronous IOs with a
higher priority.  But, the checksumming helper threads prevent it
from being fully effective.

There are two problems.  First, a big queue of pending checksumming
will delay the synchronous IO behind other lower priority writes.  Second,
the checksumming uses an ordered async work queue.  The ordering makes sure
that IOs are sent to the block layer in the same order they are sent
to the checksumming threads.  Usually this gives us less seeky IO.

But, when we start mixing IO priorities, the lower priority IO can delay
the higher priority IO.

This patch solves both problems by adding a high priority list to the async
helper threads, and a new btrfs_set_work_high_prio(), which is used
to make put a new async work item onto the higher priority list.

The ordering is still done on high priority IO, but all of the high
priority bios are ordered separately from the low priority bios.  This
ordering is purely an IO optimization, it is not involved in data
or metadata integrity.

ffbd517d5a Btrfs: use WRITE_SYNC for synchronous writes
Part of reducing fsync/O_SYNC/O_DIRECT latencies is using WRITE_SYNC for
writes we plan on waiting on in the near future.  This patch
mirrors recent changes in other filesystems and the generic code to
use WRITE_SYNC when WB_SYNC_ALL is passed and to use WRITE_SYNC for
other latency critical writes.

Btrfs uses async worker threads for checksumming before the write is done,
and then again to actually submit the bios.  The bio submission code just
runs a per-device list of bios that need to be sent down the pipe.

This list is split into low priority and high priority lists so the
WRITE_SYNC IO happens first.

316cb4ef3e ext2: fix data corruption for racing writes
If two writers allocating blocks to file race with each other (e.g.
because writepages races with ordinary write or two writepages race with
each other), ext2_getblock() can be called on the same inode in parallel.
Before we are going to allocate new blocks, we have to recheck the block
chain we have obtained so far without holding truncate_mutex.  Otherwise
we could overwrite the indirect block pointer set by the other writer
leading to data loss.

The below test program by Ying is able to reproduce the data loss with ext2
on in BRD in a few minutes if the machine is under memory pressure:

long kMemSize  = 50 << 20;
int kPageSize = 4096;

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
	int status;
	int count = 0;
	int i;
	char *fname = "/mnt/test.mmap";
	char *mem;
	unlink(fname);
	int fd = open(fname, O_CREAT | O_EXCL | O_RDWR, 0600);
	status = ftruncate(fd, kMemSize);
	mem = mmap(0, kMemSize, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
	// Fill the memory with 1s.
	memset(mem, 1, kMemSize);
	sleep(2);
	for (i = 0; i < kMemSize; i++) {
		int byte_good = mem[i] != 0;
		if (!byte_good && ((i % kPageSize) == 0)) {
			//printf("%d ", i / kPageSize);
			count++;
		}
	}
	munmap(mem, kMemSize);
	close(fd);
	unlink(fname);

	if (count > 0) {
		printf("Running %d bad page\n", count);
		return 1;
	}
	return 0;
}

On-disk counters ndirtysegs and ncleansegs of sufile, can go wrong
after roll-forward recovery because
nilfs_prepare_segment_for_recovery() function marks segments dirty
without adjusting value of these counters.

operation adjusting the counters, and by letting the recovery function

Now that we have a distinction between WRITE_SYNC and WRITE_SYNC_PLUG,
use WRITE_SYNC_PLUG in __block_write_full_page() to avoid unplugging
the block device I/O queue between each page that gets flushed out.

Otherwise, when we run sync() or fsync() and we need to write out a
large number of pages, the block device queue will get unplugged
between for every page that is flushed out, which will be a pretty
serious performance regression caused by commit a64c8610.

7bfac9ecf0 splice: fix deadlock in splicing to file
There's a possible deadlock in generic_file_splice_write(),
splice_from_pipe() and ocfs2_file_splice_write():

 - task A calls generic_file_splice_write()
 - this calls inode_double_lock(), which locks i_mutex on both
   pipe->inode and target inode
 - ordering depends on inode pointers, can happen that pipe->inode is
   locked first
 - __splice_from_pipe() needs more data, calls pipe_wait()
 - this releases lock on pipe->inode, goes to interruptible sleep
 - task B calls generic_file_splice_write(), similarly to the first
 - this locks pipe->inode, then tries to lock inode, but that is
   already held by task A
 - task A is interrupted, it tries to lock pipe->inode, but fails, as
   it is already held by task B
 - ABBA deadlock

Fix this by explicitly ordering locks: the outer lock must be on
target inode and the inner lock (which is later unlocked and relocked)
must be on pipe->inode.  This is OK, pipe inodes and target inodes
form two nonoverlapping sets, generic_file_splice_write() and friends
are not called with a target which is a pipe.

After a review of user's feedback for finding out other compatibility
issues, I found nilfs improperly initializes timestamps in inode;
CURRENT_TIME was used there instead of CURRENT_TIME_SEC even though nilfs
didn't have nanosecond timestamps on disk.  A few users gave us the report
that the tar program sometimes failed to expand symbolic links on nilfs,
and it turned out to be the cause.

Instead of applying the above displacement, I've decided to support
nanosecond timestamps on this occation.  Fortunetaly, a needless 64-bit
field was in the nilfs_inode struct, and I found it's available for this
purpose without impact for the users.

So, this will do the enhancement and resolve the tar problem.

e339ad31f5 nilfs2: introduce secondary super block
The former versions didn't have extra super blocks.  This improves the
weak point by introducing another super block at unused region in tail of
the partition.

This doesn't break disk format compatibility; older versions just ingore
the secondary super block, and new versions just recover it if it doesn't
exist.  The partition created by an old mkfs may not have unused region,
but in that case, the secondary super block will not be added.

This doesn't make more redundant copies of the super block; it is a future
work.

cece552074 nilfs2: simplify handling of active state of segments
will reduce some lines of segment constructor.  Previously, the state was
complexly controlled through a list of segments in order to keep
consistency in meta data of usage state of segments.  Instead, this
presents ``calculated'' active flags to userland cleaner program and stop
maintaining its real flag on disk.

Only by this fake flag, the cleaner cannot exactly know if each segment is
reclaimable or not.  However, the recent extension of nilfs_sustat ioctl
struct (nilfs2-extend-nilfs_sustat-ioctl-struct.patch) can prevent the
cleaner from reclaiming in-use segment wrongly.

So, now I can apply this for simplification.

c96fa464a5 nilfs2: mark minor flag for checkpoint created by internal operation
Nilfs creates checkpoints even for garbage collection or metadata updates
such as checkpoint mode change.  So, user often sees checkpoints created
only by such internal operations.

This is inconvenient in some situations.  For example, application that
monitors checkpoints and changes them to snapshots, will fall into an
infinite loop because it cannot distinguish internally created
checkpoints.

This patch solves this sort of problem by adding a flag to checkpoint for
identification.

458c5b0822 nilfs2: clean up sketch file
The sketch file is a file to mark checkpoints with user data.  It was
experimentally introduced in the original implementation, and now
obsolete.  The file was handled differently with regular files; the file
size got truncated when a checkpoint was created.

This stops the special treatment and will treat it as a regular file.
Most users are not affected because mkfs.nilfs2 no longer makes this file.

block.  This fixes compatibility issue on big endian machines which will
come to surface after supporting recovery of super block.

1f5abe7e7d nilfs2: replace BUG_ON and BUG calls triggerable from ioctl
Pekka Enberg advised me:
> It would be nice if BUG(), BUG_ON(), and panic() calls would be
> converted to proper error handling using WARN_ON() calls. The BUG()
> call in nilfs_cpfile_delete_checkpoints(), for example, looks to be
> triggerable from user-space via the ioctl() system call.

This will follow the comment and keep them to a minimum.

2c2e52fc4f nilfs2: extend nilfs_sustat ioctl struct
This adds a new argument to the nilfs_sustat structure.

The extended field allows to delete volatile active state of segments,
which was needed to protect freshly-created segments from garbage
collection but has confused code dealing with segments.  This
extension alleviates the mess and gives room for further
simplifications.

The volatile active flag is not persistent, so it's eliminable on this
occasion without affecting compatibility other than the ioctl change.

7a9461939a nilfs2: use unlocked_ioctl
Pekka Enberg suggested converting ->ioctl operations to use
->unlocked_ioctl to avoid BKL.

The conversion was verified to be safe, so I will take it on this
occasion.
