      iomap: support REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND · c3b0e880
      Naohiro Aota authored
      A ZONE_APPEND bio must follow hardware restrictions (e.g. not exceeding
      max_zone_append_sectors) not to be split. bio_iov_iter_get_pages builds
      such restricted bio using __bio_iov_append_get_pages if bio_op(bio) ==
      REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND.
      
      To utilize it, we need to set the bio_op before calling
      bio_iov_iter_get_pages(). This commit introduces IOMAP_F_ZONE_APPEND, so
      that iomap user can set the flag to indicate they want REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND
      and restricted bio.

      btrfs: fix extent buffer leak on failure to copy root · 72c9925f
      Filipe Manana authored
      At btrfs_copy_root(), if the call to btrfs_inc_ref() fails we end up
      returning without unlocking and releasing our reference on the extent
      buffer named "cow" we previously allocated with btrfs_alloc_tree_block().
      
      So fix that by unlocking the extent buffer and dropping our reference on
      it before returning.

      btrfs: explain page locking and readahead in read_extent_buffer_pages() · 2c4d8cb7
      Qu Wenruo authored
      In read_extent_buffer_pages(), if we failed to lock the page atomically,
      we just exit with return value 0.
      
      This is counter-intuitive, as normally if we can't lock what we need, we
      would return something like EAGAIN.
      
      But that return hides under (wait == WAIT_NONE) branch, which only gets
      triggered for readahead.
      
      And for readahead, if we failed to lock the page, it means the extent
      buffer is either being read by other thread, or has been read and is
      under modification.  Either way the eb will or has been cached, thus
      readahead has no need to wait for it.
      
      Add comment on this counter-intuitive behavior.

      btrfs: integrate page status update for data read path into begin/end_page_read · 92082d40
      Qu Wenruo authored
      In btrfs data page read path, the page status update are handled in two
      different locations:
      
        btrfs_do_read_page()
        {
      	while (cur <= end) {
      		/* No need to read from disk */
      		if (HOLE/PREALLOC/INLINE){
      			memset();
      			set_extent_uptodate();
      			continue;
      		}
      		/* Read from disk */
      		ret = submit_extent_page(end_bio_extent_readpage);
        }
      
        end_bio_extent_readpage()
        {
      	endio_readpage_uptodate_page_status();
        }
      
      This is fine for sectorsize == PAGE_SIZE case, as for above loop we
      should only hit one branch and then exit.
      
      But for subpage, there is more work to be done in page status update:
      
      - Page Unlock condition
        Unlike regular page size == sectorsize case, we can no longer just
        unlock a page.
        Only the last reader of the page can unlock the page.
        This means, we can unlock the page either in the while() loop, or in
        the endio function.
      
      - Page uptodate condition
        Since we have multiple sectors to read for a page, we can only mark
        the full page uptodate if all sectors are uptodate.
      
      To handle both subpage and regular cases, introduce a pair of functions
      to help handling page status update:
      
      - begin_page_read()
        For regular case, it does nothing.
        For subpage case, it updates the reader counters so that later
        end_page_read() can know who is the last one to unlock the page.
      
      - end_page_read()
        This is just endio_readpage_uptodate_page_status() renamed.
        The original name is a little too long and too specific for endio.
      
        The new thing added is the condition for page unlock.
        Now for subpage data, we unlock the page if we're the last reader.
      
      This does not only provide the basis for subpage data read, but also
      hide the special handling of page read from the main read loop.
      
      Also, since we're changing how the page lock is handled, there are two
      existing error paths where we need to manually unlock the page before
      calling begin_page_read().

      btrfs: introduce btrfs_subpage for data inodes · 32443de3
      Qu Wenruo authored
      To support subpage sector size, data also need extra info to make sure
      which sectors in a page are uptodate/dirty/...
      
      This patch will make pages for data inodes get btrfs_subpage structure
      attached, and detached when the page is freed.
      
      This patch also slightly changes the timing when
      set_page_extent_mapped() is called to make sure:
      
      - We have page->mapping set
        page->mapping->host is used to grab btrfs_fs_info, thus we can only
        call this function after page is mapped to an inode.
      
        One call site attaches pages to inode manually, thus we have to modify
        the timing of set_page_extent_mapped() a bit.
      
      - As soon as possible, before other operations
        Since memory allocation can fail, we have to do extra error handling.
        Calling set_page_extent_mapped() as soon as possible can simply the
        error handling for several call sites.
      
      The idea is pretty much the same as iomap_page, but with more bitmaps
      for btrfs specific cases.
      
      Currently the plan is to switch iomap if iomap can provide sector
      aligned write back (only write back dirty sectors, but not the full
      page, data balance require this feature).
      
      So we will stick to btrfs specific bitmap for now.

      btrfs: introduce subpage metadata validation check · 371cdc07
      Qu Wenruo authored
      For subpage metadata validation check, there are some differences:
      
      - Read must finish in one bvec
        Since we're just reading one subpage range in one page, it should
        never be split into two bios nor two bvecs.
      
      - How to grab the existing eb
        Instead of grabbing eb using page->private, we have to go search radix
        tree as we don't have any direct pointer at hand.

        Now we can handle both cases well.
      
      - No page unlock for subpage metadata

      btrfs: introduce read_extent_buffer_subpage() · 4012daf7
      Qu Wenruo authored
      Introduce a helper, read_extent_buffer_subpage(), to do the subpage
      extent buffer read.
      
      The difference between regular and subpage routines are:
      
      - No page locking
        Here we completely rely on extent locking.
        Page locking can reduce the concurrency greatly, as if we lock one
        page to read one extent buffer, all the other extent buffers in the
        same page will have to wait.
      
      - Extent uptodate condition
        Despite the existing PageUptodate() and EXTENT_BUFFER_UPTODATE check,
        We also need to check btrfs_subpage::uptodate_bitmap.
      
      - No page iteration
        Just one page, no need to loop, this greatly simplified the subpage
        routine.
      
      This patch only implements the bio submit part, no endio support yet.

      btrfs: support subpage in btrfs_clone_extent_buffer · 92d83e94
      Qu Wenruo authored
      For btrfs_clone_extent_buffer(), it's mostly the same code of
      __alloc_dummy_extent_buffer(), except it has extra page copy.
      
      So to make it subpage compatible, we only need to:
      
      - Call set_extent_buffer_uptodate() instead of SetPageUptodate()
        This will set correct uptodate bit for subpage and regular sector size
        cases.
      
      Since we're calling set_extent_buffer_uptodate() which will also set
      EXTENT_BUFFER_UPTODATE bit, we don't need to manually set that bit
      either.

      btrfs: support subpage for extent buffer page release · 8ff8466d
      Qu Wenruo authored
      In btrfs_release_extent_buffer_pages(), we need to add extra handling
      for subpage.
      
      Introduce a helper, detach_extent_buffer_page(), to do different
      handling for regular and subpage cases.
      
      For subpage case, handle detaching page private.
      
      For unmapped (dummy or cloned) ebs, we can detach the page private
      immediately as the page can only be attached to one unmapped eb.
      
      For mapped ebs, we have to ensure there are no eb in the page range
      before we delete it, as page->private is shared between all ebs in the
      same page.
      
      But there is a subpage specific race, where we can race with extent
      buffer allocation, and clear the page private while new eb is still
      being utilized, like this:
      
        Extent buffer A is the new extent buffer which will be allocated,
        while extent buffer B is the last existing extent buffer of the page.
      
        		T1 (eb A) 	 |		T2 (eb B)
        -------------------------------+------------------------------
        alloc_extent_buffer()		 | btrfs_release_extent_buffer_pages()
        |- p = find_or_create_page()   | |
        |- attach_extent_buffer_page() | |
        |				 | |- detach_extent_buffer_page()
        |				 |    |- if (!page_range_has_eb())
        |				 |    |  No new eb in the page range yet
        |				 |    |  As new eb A hasn't yet been
        |				 |    |  inserted into radix tree.
        |				 |    |- btrfs_detach_subpage()
        |				 |       |- detach_page_private();
        |- radix_tree_insert()	 |
      
        Then we have a metadata eb whose page has no private bit.
      
      To avoid such race, we introduce a subpage metadata-specific member,
      btrfs_subpage::eb_refs.
      
      In alloc_extent_buffer() we increase eb_refs in the critical section of
      private_lock.  Then page_range_has_eb() will return true for
      detach_extent_buffer_page(), and will not detach page private.
      
      The section is marked by:
      
      - btrfs_page_inc_eb_refs()
      - btrfs_page_dec_eb_refs()

      btrfs: make grab_extent_buffer_from_page() handle subpage case · 81982210
      Qu Wenruo authored
      For subpage case, grab_extent_buffer() can't really get an extent buffer
      just from btrfs_subpage.
      
      We have radix tree lock protecting us from inserting the same eb into
      the tree.  Thus we don't really need to do the extra hassle, just let
      alloc_extent_buffer() handle the existing eb in radix tree.
      
      Now if two ebs are being allocated as the same time, one will fail with
      -EEIXST when inserting into the radix tree.
      
      So for grab_extent_buffer(), just always return NULL for subpage case.

      - Allow manually pre-allocate subpage memory for alloc_extent_buffer()
        As we don't want to use GFP_ATOMIC under spinlock, we introduce
        btrfs_alloc_subpage() and btrfs_free_subpage() functions for this
        purpose.
        (The simple wrap for btrfs_free_subpage() is for later convert to
         kmem_cache. Already internally tested without problem)
      
      - Preallocate btrfs_subpage structure for alloc_extent_buffer()
        We don't want to call memory allocation with spinlock held, so
        do preallocation before we acquire mapping->private_lock.
      
      - Handle subpage and regular case differently in
        attach_extent_buffer_page()
        For regular case, no change, just do the usual thing.
        For subpage case, allocate new memory or use the preallocated memory.
      
      For future subpage metadata, we will make use of radix tree to grab
      extent buffer.

      btrfs: introduce the skeleton of btrfs_subpage structure · cac06d84
      Qu Wenruo authored
      For sectorsize < page size support, we need a structure to record extra
      status info for each sector of a page.
      
      Introduce the skeleton structure, all subpage related code would go to
      subpage.[ch].

      btrfs: set UNMAPPED bit early in btrfs_clone_extent_buffer() for subpage support · 62c053fb
      Qu Wenruo authored
      For the incoming subpage support, UNMAPPED extent buffer will have
      different behavior in btrfs_release_extent_buffer().
      
      This means we need to set UNMAPPED bit early before calling
      btrfs_release_extent_buffer().
      
      Currently there is only one caller which relies on
      btrfs_release_extent_buffer() in its error path while set UNMAPPED bit
      late:
      - btrfs_clone_extent_buffer()
      
      Make it subpage compatible by setting the UNMAPPED bit early, since
      we're here, also move the UPTODATE bit early.
      
      There is another caller, __alloc_dummy_extent_buffer(), setting
      UNMAPPED bit late, but that function clean up the allocated page
      manually, thus no need for any modification.

      btrfs: merge PAGE_CLEAR_DIRTY and PAGE_SET_WRITEBACK to PAGE_START_WRITEBACK · 6869b0a8
      Qu Wenruo authored
      PAGE_CLEAR_DIRTY and PAGE_SET_WRITEBACK are two defines used in
      __process_pages_contig(), to let the function know to clear page dirty
      bit and then set page writeback.
      
      However page writeback and dirty bits are conflicting (at least for
      sector size == PAGE_SIZE case), this means these two have to be always
      updated together.
      
      This means we can merge PAGE_CLEAR_DIRTY and PAGE_SET_WRITEBACK to
      PAGE_START_WRITEBACK.

      btrfs: make concurrent fsyncs wait less when waiting for a transaction commit · d0c2f4fa
      Filipe Manana authored
      Often an fsync needs to fallback to a transaction commit for several
      reasons (to ensure consistency after a power failure, a new block group
      was allocated or a temporary error such as ENOMEM or ENOSPC happened).
      
      In that case the log is marked as needing a full commit and any concurrent
      tasks attempting to log inodes or commit the log will also fallback to the
      transaction commit. When this happens they all wait for the task that first
      started the transaction commit to finish the transaction commit - however
      they wait until the full transaction commit happens, which is not needed,
      as they only need to wait for the superblocks to be persisted and not for
      unpinning all the extents pinned during the transaction's lifetime, which
      even for short lived transactions can be a few thousand and take some
      significant amount of time to complete - for dbench workloads I have
      observed up to 4~5 milliseconds of time spent unpinning extents in the
      worst cases, and the number of pinned extents was between 2 to 3 thousand.
      
      So allow fsync tasks to skip waiting for the unpinning of extents when
      they call btrfs_commit_transaction() and they were not the task that
      started the transaction commit (that one has to do it, the alternative
      would be to offload the transaction commit to another task so that it
      could avoid waiting for the extent unpinning or offload the extent
      unpinning to another task).
      
      This patch is part of a patchset comprised of the following patches:
      
        btrfs: remove unnecessary directory inode item update when deleting dir entry
        btrfs: stop setting nbytes when filling inode item for logging
        btrfs: avoid logging new ancestor inodes when logging new inode
        btrfs: skip logging directories already logged when logging all parents
        btrfs: skip logging inodes already logged when logging new entries
        btrfs: remove unnecessary check_parent_dirs_for_sync()
        btrfs: make concurrent fsyncs wait less when waiting for a transaction commit
      
      After applying the entire patchset, dbench shows improvements in respect
      to throughput and latency. The script used to measure it is the following:
      
        $ cat dbench-test.sh
        #!/bin/bash
      
        DEV=/dev/sdk
        MNT=/mnt/sdk
        MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o ssd"
        MKFS_OPTIONS="-m single -d single"
      
        echo "performance" | tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
      
        umount $DEV &> /dev/null
        mkfs.btrfs -f $MKFS_OPTIONS $DEV
        mount $MOUNT_OPTIONS $DEV $MNT
      
        dbench -D $MNT -t 300 64
      
        umount $MNT
      
      The test was run on a physical machine with 12 cores (Intel corei7), 64G
      of ram, using a NVMe device and a non-debug kernel configuration (Debian's
      default configuration).

      btrfs: remove unnecessary check_parent_dirs_for_sync() · 64d6b281
      Filipe Manana authored
      Whenever we fsync an inode, if it is a directory, a regular file that was
      created in the current transaction or has last_unlink_trans set to the
      generation of the current transaction, we check if any of its ancestor
      inodes (and the inode itself if it is a directory) can not be logged and
      need a fallback to a full transaction commit - if so, we return with a
      value of 1 in order to fallback to a transaction commit.
      
      However we often do not need to fallback to a transaction commit because:
      
      1) The ancestor inode is not an immediate parent, and therefore there is
         not an explicit request to log it and it is not needed neither to
         guarantee the consistency of the inode originally asked to be logged
         (fsynced) nor its immediate parent;
      
      2) The ancestor inode was already logged before, in which case any link,
         unlink or rename operation updates the log as needed.
      
      So for these two cases we can avoid an unnecessary transaction commit.
      Therefore remove check_parent_dirs_for_sync() and add a check at the top
      of btrfs_log_inode() to make us fallback immediately to a transaction
      commit when we are logging a directory inode that can not be logged and
      needs a full transaction commit. All we need to protect is the case where
      after renaming a file someone fsyncs only the old directory, which would
      result is losing the renamed file after a log replay.
      
      This patch is part of a patchset comprised of the following patches:
      
        btrfs: remove unnecessary directory inode item update when deleting dir entry
        btrfs: stop setting nbytes when filling inode item for logging
        btrfs: avoid logging new ancestor inodes when logging new inode
        btrfs: skip logging directories already logged when logging all parents
        btrfs: skip logging inodes already logged when logging new entries
        btrfs: remove unnecessary check_parent_dirs_for_sync()
        btrfs: make concurrent fsyncs wait less when waiting for a transaction commit
      
      Performance results, after applying all patches, are mentioned in the
      change log of the last patch.
