      Btrfs: improve multi-thread buffer read · 67c9684f
      Liu Bo authored
      While testing with my buffer read fio jobs[1], I find that btrfs does not
      perform well enough.
      
      Here is a scenario in fio jobs:
      
      We have 4 threads, "t1 t2 t3 t4", starting to buffer read a same file,
      and all of them will race on add_to_page_cache_lru(), and if one thread
      successfully puts its page into the page cache, it takes the responsibility
      to read the page's data.
      
      And what's more, reading a page needs a period of time to finish, in which
      other threads can slide in and process rest pages:
      
           t1          t2          t3          t4
         add Page1
         read Page1  add Page2
           |         read Page2  add Page3
           |            |        read Page3  add Page4
           |            |           |        read Page4
      -----|------------|-----------|-----------|--------
           v            v           v           v
          bio          bio         bio         bio
      
      Now we have four bios, each of which holds only one page since we need to
      maintain consecutive pages in bio.  Thus, we can end up with far more bios
      than we need.
      
      Here we're going to
      a) delay the real read-page section and
      b) try to put more pages into page cache.
      
      With that said, we can make each bio hold more pages and reduce the number
      of bios we need.
      
      Here is some numbers taken from fio results:

      Btrfs: make btrfs's allocation smoothly with preallocation · df57dbe6
      Liu Bo authored
      For backref walking, we've introduce delayed ref's sequence.  However,
      it changes our preallocation behavior.
      
      The story is that when we preallocate an extent and then mark it written
      piece by piece, the ideal case should be that we don't need to COW the
      extent, which is why we use 'preallocate'.
      
      But we may not make use of preallocation, since when we check for cross refs on
      the extent, we may have two ref entries which have the same content except
      the sequence value, and we recognize them as cross refs and do COW to allocate
      another extent.
      
      So we end up with several pieces of space instead of an whole extent.

      Btrfs: lock the transition from dirty to writeback for an eb · 51561ffe
      Josef Bacik authored
      There is a small window where an eb can have no IO bits set on it, which
      could potentially result in extent_buffer_under_io() returning false when we
      want it to return true, which could result in not fun things happening.  So
      in order to protect this case we need to hold the refs_lock when we make
      this transition to make sure we get reliable results out of
      extent_buffer_udner_io().  Thanks,

      Btrfs: fix potential race in extent buffer freeing · 594831c4
      Josef Bacik authored
      This sounds sort of impossible but it is the only thing I can think of and
      at the very least it is theoretically possible so here it goes.
      
      If we are in try_release_extent_buffer we will check that the ref count on
      the extent buffer is 1 and not under IO, and then go down and clear the tree
      ref.  If between this check and clearing the tree ref somebody else comes in
      and grabs a ref on the eb and the marks it dirty before
      try_release_extent_buffer() does it's tree ref clear we can end up with a
      dirty eb that will be freed while it is still dirty which will result in a
      panic.  Thanks,

      Btrfs: don't return true in releasepage unless we actually freed the eb · e64860aa
      Josef Bacik authored
      I noticed while looking at an extent_buffer race that we will
      unconditionally return 1 if we get down to release_extent_buffer after
      clearing the tree ref.  However we can easily race in here and get a ref on
      the eb and not actually free the eb.  So make release_extent_buffer return 1
      if it free'd the eb and 0 if not so we can be a little kinder to the vm.
      Thanks,

      Btrfs: remove unwanted printk() for btrfs device I/O stats · 5021976d
      Stefan Behrens authored
      People complained about the annoying kernel log message
      "btrfs: no dev_stats entry found ... (OK on first mount after mkfs)"
      everytime a filesystem is mounted for the first time after running
      mkfs. Since the distribution of the btrfs-progs is not synchronized
      to the kernel version, mkfs like it is now will be used also in the
      future. Then this message is not useful to find errors, it is just
      annoying. This commit removes the printk().

      Btrfs: rewrite BTRFS_SETGET_FUNCS · 18077bb4
      Li Zefan authored
      BTRFS_SETGET_FUNCS macro is used to generate btrfs_set_foo() and
      btrfs_foo() functions, which read and write specific fields in the
      extent buffer.
      
      The total number of set/get functions is ~200, but in fact we only
      need 8 functions: 2 for u8 field, 2 for u16, 2 for u32 and 2 for u64.
      
      It results in redunction of ~37K bytes.

      Btrfs: zero unused bytes in inode item · 293f7e07
      Li Zefan authored
      The otime field is not zeroed, so users will see random otime in an old
      filesystem with a new kernel which has otime support in the future.
      
      The reserved bytes are also not zeroed, and we'll have compatibility
      issue if we make use of those bytes.

      Btrfs: kill free_space pointer from inode structure · b4d7c3c9
      Li Zefan authored
      Inodes always allocate free space with BTRFS_BLOCK_GROUP_DATA type,
      which means every inode has the same BTRFS_I(inode)->free_space pointer.
      
      This shrinks struct btrfs_inode by 4 bytes (or 8 bytes on 64 bits).
