3394e1607e Btrfs: Give each subvol and snapshot their own anonymous devid
Each subvolume has its own private inode number space, and so we need
to fill in different device numbers for each subvolume to avoid confusing
applications.

This commit puts a struct super_block into struct btrfs_root so it can
call set_anon_super() and get a different device number generated for
each root.

btrfs_rename is changed to prevent renames across subvols.

3de4586c52 Btrfs: Allow subvolumes and snapshots anywhere in the directory tree
Before, all snapshots and subvolumes lived in a single flat directory.  This
was awkward and confusing because the single flat directory was only writable
with the ioctls.

This commit changes the ioctls to create subvols and snapshots at any
point in the directory tree.  This requires making separate ioctls for
snapshot and subvol creation instead of a combining them into one.

The subvol ioctl does:

btrfsctl -S subvol_name parent_dir

After the ioctl is done subvol_name lives inside parent_dir.

The snapshot ioctl does:

btrfsctl -s path_for_snapshot root_to_snapshot

path_for_snapshot can be an absolute or relative path.  btrfsctl breaks it up
into directory and basename components.

root_to_snapshot can be any file or directory in the FS.  The snapshot
is taken of the entire root where that file lives.

e3e469f86e Btrfs: fix free space leak
In my batch delete/update/insert patch I introduced a free space leak.  The
extent that we do the original search on in free_extents is never pinned, so we
always update the block saying that it has free space, but the free space never
actually gets added to the free space tree, since op->del will always be 0 and
it's never actually added to the pinned extents tree.

This patch fixes this problem by making sure we call pin_down_bytes on the
pending extent op and set op->del to the return value of pin_down_bytes so
update_block_group is called with the right value.  This seems to fix the case
where we were getting ENOSPC when there was plenty of space available.

c36047d729 Btrfs: Fix race in btrfs_mark_extent_written
When extent needs to be split, btrfs_mark_extent_written truncates the extent
first, then inserts a new extent and increases the reference count.

The race happens if someone else deletes the old extent before the new extent
is inserted. The fix here is increase the reference count in advance. This race
is similar to the race in btrfs_drop_extents that was recently fixed.

2b82032c34 Btrfs: Seed device support
Seed device is a special btrfs with SEEDING super flag
set and can only be mounted in read-only mode. Seed
devices allow people to create new btrfs on top of it.

The new FS contains the same contents as the seed device,
but it can be mounted in read-write mode.

This patch does the following:

1) split code in btrfs_alloc_chunk into two parts. The first part does makes
the newly allocated chunk usable, but does not do any operation that modifies
the chunk tree. The second part does the the chunk tree modifications. This
division is for the bootstrap step of adding storage to the seed device.

2) Update device management code to handle seed device.
The basic idea is: For an FS grown from seed devices, its
seed devices are put into a list. Seed devices are
opened on demand at mounting time. If any seed device is
missing or has been changed, btrfs kernel module will
refuse to mount the FS.

3) make btrfs_find_block_group not return NULL when all
block groups are read-only.

f3465ca44e Btrfs: batch extent inserts/updates/deletions on the extent root
While profiling the allocator I noticed a good amount of time was being spent in
finish_current_insert and del_pending_extents, and as the filesystem filled up
more and more time was being spent in those functions.  This patch aims to try
and reduce that problem.  This happens two ways

1) track if we tried to delete an extent that we are going to update or insert.
Once we get into finish_current_insert we discard any of the extents that were
marked for deletion.  This saves us from doing unnecessary work almost every
time finish_current_insert runs.

2) Batch insertion/updates/deletions.  Instead of doing a btrfs_search_slot for
each individual extent and doing the needed operation, we instead keep the leaf
around and see if there is anything else we can do on that leaf.  On the insert
case I introduced a btrfs_insert_some_items, which will take an array of keys
with an array of data_sizes and try and squeeze in as many of those keys as
possible, and then return how many keys it was able to insert.  In the update
case we search for an extent ref, update the ref and then loop through the leaf
to see if any of the other refs we are looking to update are on that leaf, and
then once we are done we release the path and search for the next ref we need to
update.  And finally for the deletion we try and delete the extent+ref in pairs,
so we will try to find extent+ref pairs next to the extent we are trying to free
and free them in bulk if possible.

This along with the other cluster fix that Chris pushed out a bit ago helps make
the allocator preform more uniformly as it fills up the disk.  There is still a
slight drop as we fill up the disk since we start having to stick new blocks in
odd places which results in more COW's than on a empty fs, but the drop is not
nearly as severe as it was before.

c5c9cd4d1b Btrfs: allow clone of an arbitrary file range
This patch adds an additional CLONE_RANGE ioctl to clone an arbitrary 
(block-aligned) file range to another file.  The original CLONE ioctl 
becomes a special case of cloning the entire file range.  The logic is a 
bit more complex now since ranges may be cloned to different offsets, and 
because we may only be cloning the beginning or end of a particular extent 
or checksum item.

An additional sanity check ensures the source and destination files aren't 
the same (which would previously deadlock), although eventually this could 
be extended to allow the duplication of file data at a different offset 
within the same file.

Any extents within the destination range in the target file are dropped.

We currently do not cope with the case where a compressed inline extent 
needs to be split.  This will probably require decompressing the extent 
into a temporary address_space, and inserting just the cloned portion as a 
new compressed inline extent.  For now, just return -EINVAL in this case.  
Note that this never comes up in the more common case of cloning an entire 
file.

8247b41ac9 Btrfs: Fix starting search offset inside btrfs_drop_extents
btrfs_drop_extents will drop paths and search again when it needs to
force COW of higher nodes.  It was using the key it found during the last
search as the offset for the next search.

But, this wasn't always correct.  The key could be from before our desired
range, and because we're dropping the path, it is possible for file's items
to change while we do the search again.

The fix here is to make sure we don't search for something smaller than
the offset btrfs_drop_extents was called with.

5f2cc086cc Btrfs: Avoid unplug storms during commit
While doing a commit, btrfs makes sure all the metadata blocks
were properly written to disk, calling wait_on_page_writeback for
each page.  This writeback happens after allowing another transaction
to start, so it competes for the disk with other processes in the FS.

If the page writeback bit is still set, each wait_on_page_writeback might
trigger an unplug, even though the page might be waiting for checksumming
to finish or might be waiting for the async work queue to submit the
bio.

This trades wait_on_page_writeback for waiting on the extent writeback
bits.  It won't trigger any unplugs and substantially improves performance
in a number of workloads.

This also changes the async bio submission to avoid requeueing if there
is only one device.  The requeue just wastes CPU time because there are
no other devices to service.

af09abfece Btrfs: make sure compressed bios don't complete too soon
When writing a compressed extent, a number of bios are created that
point to a single struct compressed_bio.  At end_io time an atomic counter in
the compressed_bio struct makes sure that all of the bios have finished
before final end_io processing is done.

But when multiple bios are needed to write a compressed extent, the
counter was being incremented after the first bio was sent to submit_bio.
It is possible the bio will complete before the counter is incremented,
making the end_io handler free the compressed_bio struct before
processing is finished.

The fix is to increment the atomic counter before bio submission,
both for compressed reads and writes.

771ed689d2 Btrfs: Optimize compressed writeback and reads
When reading compressed extents, try to put pages into the page cache
for any pages covered by the compressed extent that readpages didn't already
preload.

Add an async work queue to handle transformations at delayed allocation processing
time.  Right now this is just compression.  The workflow is:

1) Find offsets in the file marked for delayed allocation
2) Lock the pages
3) Lock the state bits
4) Call the async delalloc code

The async delalloc code clears the state lock bits and delalloc bits.  It is
important this happens before the range goes into the work queue because
otherwise it might deadlock with other work queue items that try to lock
those extent bits.

The file pages are compressed, and if the compression doesn't work the
pages are written back directly.

An ordered work queue is used to make sure the inodes are written in the same
order that pdflush or writepages sent them down.

This changes extent_write_cache_pages to let the writepage function
update the wbc nr_written count.

4a69a41009 Btrfs: Add ordered async work queues
Btrfs uses kernel threads to create async work queues for cpu intensive
operations such as checksumming and decompression.  These work well,
but they make it difficult to keep IO order intact.

A single writepages call from pdflush or fsync will turn into a number
of bios, and each bio is checksummed in parallel.  Once the checksum is
computed, the bio is sent down to the disk, and since we don't control
the order in which the parallel operations happen, they might go down to
the disk in almost any order.

The code deals with this somewhat by having deep work queues for a single
kernel thread, making it very likely that a single thread will process all
the bios for a single inode.

This patch introduces an explicitly ordered work queue.  As work structs
are placed into the queue they are put onto the tail of a list.  They have
three callbacks:

->func (cpu intensive processing here)
->ordered_func (order sensitive processing here)
->ordered_free (free the work struct, all processing is done)

The work struct has three callbacks.  The func callback does the cpu intensive
work, and when it completes the work struct is marked as done.

Every time a work struct completes, the list is checked to see if the head
is marked as done.  If so the ordered_func callback is used to do the
order sensitive processing and the ordered_free callback is used to do
any cleanup.  Then we loop back and check the head of the list again.

This patch also changes the checksumming code to use the ordered workqueues.
One a 4 drive array, it increases streaming writes from 280MB/s to 350MB/s.

all the pages after it in the same compressed inline items.  For now, only
create single page inline items.

2517920135 Btrfs: nuke fs wide allocation mutex V2
This patch removes the giant fs_info->alloc_mutex and replaces it with a bunch
of little locks.

There is now a pinned_mutex, which is used when messing with the pinned_extents
extent io tree, and the extent_ins_mutex which is used with the pending_del and
extent_ins extent io trees.

The locking for the extent tree stuff was inspired by a patch that Yan Zheng
wrote to fix a race condition, I cleaned it up some and changed the locking
around a little bit, but the idea remains the same.  Basically instead of
holding the extent_ins_mutex throughout the processing of an extent on the
extent_ins or pending_del trees, we just hold it while we're searching and when
we clear the bits on those trees, and lock the extent for the duration of the
operations on the extent.

Also to keep from getting hung up waiting to lock an extent, I've added a
try_lock_extent so if we cannot lock the extent, move on to the next one in the
tree and we'll come back to that one.  I have tested this heavily and it does
not appear to break anything.  This has to be applied on top of my
find_free_extent redo patch.

I tested this patch on top of Yan's space reblancing code and it worked fine.
The only thing that has changed since the last version is I pulled out all my
debugging stuff, apparently I forgot to run guilt refresh before I sent the
last patch out.  Thank you,

80eb234af0 Btrfs: fix enospc when there is plenty of space
So there is an odd case where we can possibly return -ENOSPC when there is in
fact space to be had.  It only happens with Metadata writes, and happens _very_
infrequently.  What has to happen is we have to allocate have allocated out of
the first logical byte on the disk, which would set last_alloc to
first_logical_byte(root, 0), so search_start == orig_search_start.  We then
need to allocate for normal metadata, so BTRFS_BLOCK_GROUP_METADATA |
BTRFS_BLOCK_GROUP_DUP.  We will do a block lookup for the given search_start,
block_group_bits() won't match and we'll go to choose another block group.
However because search_start matches orig_search_start we go to see if we can
allocate a chunk.

If we are in the situation that we cannot allocate a chunk, we fail and ENOSPC.
This is kind of a big flaw of the way find_free_extent works, as it along with
find_free_space loop through _all_ of the block groups, not just the ones that
we want to allocate out of.  This patch completely kills find_free_space and
rolls it into find_free_extent.  I've introduced a sort of state machine into
this, which will make it easier to get cache miss information out of the
allocator, and will work well with my locking changes.

The basic flow is this:  We have the variable loop which is 0, meaning we are
in the hint phase.  We lookup the block group for the hint, and lookup the
space_info for what we want to allocate out of.  If the block group we were
pointed at by the hint either isn't of the correct type, or just doesn't have
the space we need, we set head to space_info->block_groups, so we start at the
beginning of the block groups for this particular space info, and loop through.

This is also where we add the empty_cluster to total_needed.  At this point
loop is set to 1 and we just loop through all of the block groups for this
particular space_info looking for the space we need, just as find_free_space
would have done, except we only hit the block groups we want and not _all_ of
the block groups.  If we come full circle we see if we can allocate a chunk.
If we cannot of course we exit with -ENOSPC and we are good.  If not we start
over at space_info->block_groups and loop through again, with loop == 2.  If we
come full circle and haven't found what we need then we exit with -ENOSPC.
I've been running this for a couple of days now and it seems stable, and I
haven't yet hit a -ENOSPC when there was plenty of space left.

Also I've made a groups_sem to handle the group list for the space_info.  This
is part of my locking changes, but is relatively safe and seems better than
holding the space_info spinlock over that entire search time.  Thanks,

f82d02d9d8 Btrfs: Improve space balancing code
This patch improves the space balancing code to keep more sharing
of tree blocks. The only case that breaks sharing of tree blocks is
data extents get fragmented during balancing. The main changes in
this patch are:

Add a 'drop sub-tree' function. This solves the problem in old code
that BTRFS_HEADER_FLAG_WRITTEN check breaks sharing of tree block.

Remove relocation mapping tree. Relocation mappings are stored in
struct btrfs_ref_path and updated dynamically during walking up/down
the reference path. This reduces CPU usage and simplifies code.

This patch also fixes a bug. Root items for reloc trees should be
updated in btrfs_free_reloc_root.

c8b978188c Btrfs: Add zlib compression support
This is a large change for adding compression on reading and writing,
both for inline and regular extents.  It does some fairly large
surgery to the writeback paths.

Compression is off by default and enabled by mount -o compress.  Even
when the -o compress mount option is not used, it is possible to read
compressed extents off the disk.

If compression for a given set of pages fails to make them smaller, the
file is flagged to avoid future compression attempts later.

* While finding delalloc extents, the pages are locked before being sent down
to the delalloc handler.  This allows the delalloc handler to do complex things
such as cleaning the pages, marking them writeback and starting IO on their
behalf.

* Inline extents are inserted at delalloc time now.  This allows us to compress
the data before inserting the inline extent, and it allows us to insert
an inline extent that spans multiple pages.

* All of the in-memory extent representations (extent_map.c, ordered-data.c etc)
are changed to record both an in-memory size and an on disk size, as well
as a flag for compression.

From a disk format point of view, the extent pointers in the file are changed
to record the on disk size of a given extent and some encoding flags.
Space in the disk format is allocated for compression encoding, as well
as encryption and a generic 'other' field.  Neither the encryption or the
'other' field are currently used.

In order to limit the amount of data read for a single random read in the
file, the size of a compressed extent is limited to 128k.  This is a
software only limit, the disk format supports u64 sized compressed extents.

In order to limit the ram consumed while processing extents, the uncompressed
size of a compressed extent is limited to 256k.  This is a software only limit
and will be subject to tuning later.

Checksumming is still done on compressed extents, and it is done on the
uncompressed version of the data.  This way additional encodings can be
layered on without having to figure out which encoding to checksum.

Compression happens at delalloc time, which is basically singled threaded because
it is usually done by a single pdflush thread.  This makes it tricky to
spread the compression load across all the cpus on the box.  We'll have to
look at parallel pdflush walks of dirty inodes at a later time.

Decompression is hooked into readpages and it does spread across CPUs nicely.

37d3cdddf5 Btrfs: make tree_search_offset more flexible in its searching
Sometimes we end up freeing a reserved extent because we don't need it, however
this means that its possible for transaction->last_alloc to point to the middle
of a free area.

When we search for free space in find_free_space we do a tree_search_offset
with contains set to 0, because we want it to find the next best free area if
we do not have an offset starting on the given offset.

Unfortunately that currently means that if the offset we were given as a hint
points to the middle of a free area, we won't find anything.  This is especially
bad if we happened to last allocate from the big huge chunk of a newly formed
block group, since we won't find anything and have to go back and search the
long way around.

This fixes this problem by making it so that we return the free space area
regardless of the contains variable.  This made cache missing happen _alot_
less, and speeds things up considerably.

cb8e70901d Btrfs: Fix subvolume creation locking rules
Creating a subvolume is in many ways like a normal VFS ->mkdir, and we
really need to play with the VFS topology locking rules.  So instead of
just creating the snapshot on disk and then later getting rid of
confliting aliases do it correctly from the start.  This will become
especially important once we allow for subvolumes anywhere in the tree,
and not just below a hidden root.

Note that snapshots will need the same treatment, but do to the delay
in creating them we can't do it currently.  Chris promised to fix that
issue, so I'll wait on that.
