This is a large patch, but because they're all macros it's impossible to split up. Simply copy all of the item accessors in ctree.h and paste them in accessors.h, and then update any files to include the header so everything compiles.

This is specific to the item-accessor code, move it out of ctree.h into accessor.h/.c and then update the users to include the new header file. This un-inlines btrfs_init_map_token, however this is only called once per function so it's not critical to be inlined. This also saves 904 bytes of code on a release build.

Now that we're not using this code anywhere we can remove it as well as the member from fs_info. We don't have any mount options or on/off features that would utilize the pending infrastructure, the last one was inode_cache. There was a patchset [1] to enable some features from sysfs that would break things if it would be set immediately. In case we'll need that kind of logic again the patch can be reverted, but for the current use it can be replaced by the single state bit to do the commit.

There's a request to automatically enable async discard for capable devices. We can do that, the async mode is designed to wait for larger freed extents and is not intrusive, with limits to iops, kbps or latency. The status and tunables will be exported in /sys/fs/btrfs/FSID/discard . The automatic selection is done if there's at least one discard capable device in the filesystem (not capable devices are skipped). Mounting with any other discard option will honor that option, notably mounting with nodiscard will keep it disabled.

We sometimes have to allocate new extent states when clearing or setting new bits in an extent io tree. Generally we preallocate this before taking the tree spin lock, but we can use this preallocated extent state sometimes and then need to try to do a GFP_ATOMIC allocation under the lock. Unfortunately sometimes this fails, and then we hit the BUG_ON() and bring the box down. This happens roughly 20 times a week in our fleet. However the vast majority of callers use GFP_NOFS, which means that if this GFP_ATOMIC allocation fails, we could simply drop the spin lock, go back and allocate a new extent state with our given gfp mask, and begin again from where we left off. For the remaining callers that do not use GFP_NOFS, they are generally using GFP_NOWAIT, which still allows for some reclaim. So allow these allocations to attempt to happen outside of the spin lock so we don't need to rely on GFP_ATOMIC allocations. This in essence creates an infinite loop for anything that isn't GFP_NOFS. To address this we may want to migrate to using mempools for extent states so that we will always have emergency reserves in order to make our allocations.

We have done read endio in an async thread for a very, very long time, which makes the use of GFP_ATOMIC and unlock_extent_atomic() unneeded in our read endio path. We've noticed under heavy memory pressure in our fleet that we can fail these allocations, and then often trip a BUG_ON(!allocation), which isn't an ideal outcome. Begin to address this by simply not using GFP_ATOMIC, which will allow us to do things like actually allocate a extent state when doing set_extent_bits(UPTODATE) in the endio handler. End io handlers are not called in atomic context, besides we have been allocating failrec with GFP_NOFS so we'd notice there's a problem.

[BACKGROUND] When committing a transaction, we will update block group items for all dirty block groups. But in fact, dirty block groups don't always need to update their block group items. It's pretty common to have a metadata block group which experienced several COW operations, but still have the same amount of used bytes. In that case, we may unnecessarily COW a tree block doing nothing. [ENHANCEMENT] This patch will introduce btrfs_block_group::commit_used member to remember the last used bytes, and use that new member to skip unnecessary block group item update. This would be more common for large filesystems, where metadata block group can be as large as 1GiB, containing at most 64K metadata items. In that case, if COW added and then deleted one metadata item near the end of the block group, then it's completely possible we don't need to touch the block group item at all. [BENCHMARK] The change itself can have quite a high chance (20~80%) to skip block group item updates in lot of workloads. As a result, it would result shorter time spent on btrfs_write_dirty_block_groups(), and overall reduce the execution time of the critical section of btrfs_commit_transaction(). Here comes a fio command, which will do random writes in 4K block size, causing a very heavy metadata updates. fio --filename=$mnt/file --size=512M --rw=randwrite --direct=1 --bs=4k \ --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=64 --runtime=300 --numjobs=4 \ --name=random_write --fallocate=none --time_based --fsync_on_close=1 The file size (512M) and number of threads (4) means 2GiB file size in total, but during the full 300s run time, my dedicated SATA SSD is able to write around 20~25GiB, which is over 10 times the file size. Thus after we fill the initial 2G, we should not cause much block group item updates. Please note, the fio numbers by themselves don't have much change, but if we look deeper, there is some reduced execution time, especially for the critical section of btrfs_commit_transaction(). I added extra trace_printk() to measure the following per-transaction execution time: - Critical section of btrfs_commit_transaction() By re-using the existing update_commit_stats() function, which has already calculated the interval correctly. - The while() loop for btrfs_write_dirty_block_groups() Although this includes the execution time of btrfs_run_delayed_refs(), it should still be representative overall. Both result involves transid 7~30, the same amount of transaction committed. The result looks like this: | Before | After | Diff ----------------------+-------------------+----------------+-------- Transaction interval | 229247198.5 | 215016933.6 | -6.2% Block group interval | 23133.33333 | 18970.83333 | -18.0% The change in block group item updates is more obvious, as skipped block group item updates also mean less delayed refs. And the overall execution time for that block group update loop is pretty small, thus we can assume the extent tree is already mostly cached. If we can skip an uncached tree block, it would cause more obvious change. Unfortunately the overall reduction in commit transaction critical section is much smaller, as the block group item updates loop is not really the major part, at least not for the above fio script. But still we have a observable reduction in the critical section.

The base transaction bits can be defined as bits in a contiguous sequence, although right now there's a hole from bit 1 to 8. The bits are used for btrfs_trans_handle::type, and there's another set of TRANS_STATE_* defines that are for btrfs_transaction::state.

[BACKGROUND] In theory init_btrfs_fs() and exit_btrfs_fs() should match their sequence, thus normally they should look like this: init_btrfs_fs() | exit_btrfs_fs() ----------------------+------------------------ init_A(); | init_B(); | init_C(); | | exit_C(); | exit_B(); | exit_A(); So is for the error path of init_btrfs_fs(). But it's not the case, some exit functions don't match their init functions sequence in init_btrfs_fs(). Furthermore in init_btrfs_fs(), we need to have a new error label for each new init function we added. This is not really expandable, especially recently we may add several new functions to init_btrfs_fs(). [ENHANCEMENT] The patch will introduce the following things to enhance the situation: - struct init_sequence Just a wrapper of init and exit function pointers. The init function must use int type as return value, thus some init functions need to be updated to return 0. The exit function can be NULL, as there are some init sequence just outputting a message. - struct mod_init_seq[] array This is a const array, recording all the initialization we need to do in init_btrfs_fs(), and the order follows the old init_btrfs_fs(). - bool mod_init_result[] array This is a bool array, recording if we have initialized one entry in mod_init_seq[]. The reason to split mod_init_seq[] and mod_init_result[] is to avoid section mismatch in reference. All init function are in .init.text, but if mod_init_seq[] records the @initialized member it can no longer be const, thus will be put into .data section, and cause modpost warning. For init_btrfs_fs() we just call all init functions in their order in mod_init_seq[] array, and after each call, setting corresponding mod_init_result[] to true. For exit_btrfs_fs() and error handling path of init_btrfs_fs(), we just iterate mod_init_seq[] in reverse order, and skip all uninitialized entry. With this patch, init_btrfs_fs()/exit_btrfs_fs() will be much easier to expand and will always follow the strict order.

When fixing up the first key of each node above the current level, at fixup_low_keys(), we are doing a GFP_ATOMIC allocation for inserting an operation record for the tree mod log. However we can do just fine with GFP_NOFS nowadays. The need for GFP_ATOMIC was for the old days when we had custom locks with spinning behaviour for extent buffers and we were in spinning mode while at fixup_low_keys(). Now we use rw semaphores for extent buffer locks, so we can safely use GFP_NOFS.

I have observed the following case play out and lead to unnecessary relocations: 1. write a file across multiple block groups 2. delete the file 3. several block groups fall below the reclaim threshold 4. reclaim the first, moving extents into the others 5. reclaim the others which are now actually very full, leading to poor reclaim behavior with lots of writing, allocating new block groups, etc. I believe the risk of missing some reasonable reclaims is worth it when traded off against the savings of avoiding overfull reclaims. Going forward, it could be interesting to make the check more advanced (zoned aware, fragmentation aware, etc...) so that it can be a really strong signal both at extent delete and reclaim time.

As we delete extents from a block group, at some deletion we cross below the reclaim threshold. It is possible we are still in the middle of deleting more extents and might soon hit 0. If the block group is empty by the time the reclaim worker runs, we will still relocate it. This works just fine, as relocating an empty block group ultimately results in properly deleting it. However, we have more direct ways of removing empty block groups in the cleaner thread. Those are either async discard or the unused_bgs list. In fact, when we decide whether to relocate a block group during extent deletion, we do check for emptiness and prefer the discard/unused_bgs mechanisms when possible. Not using relocation for this case reduces some modest overhead from empty bg relocation: - extra transactions - extra metadata use/churn for creating relocation metadata - trying to read the extent tree to look for extents (and in this case finding none) Reviewed-by: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Boris Burkov <boris@bur.io> Reviewed-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>

During fiemap, when determining if a data extent is shared or not, if we don't find the extent is directly shared, then we need to determine if it's shared through subtrees. For that we need to resolve the indirect reference we found in order to figure out the path in the inode's fs tree, which is a path starting at the fs tree's root node and going down to the leaf that contains the file extent item that points to the data extent. We then proceed to determine if any extent buffer in that path is shared with other trees or not. However when the generation of the data extent is more recent than the last generation used to snapshot the root, we don't need to determine the path, since the data extent can not be shared through snapshots. For this case we currently still determine the leaf of that path (at find_parent_nodes(), but then stop determining the other nodes in the path (at btrfs_is_data_extent_shared()) as it's pointless. So do the check of the data extent's generation earlier, at find_parent_nodes(), before trying to resolve the indirect reference to determine the leaf in the path. This saves us from doing one expensive b+tree search in the fs tree of our target inode, as well as other minor work. The following test was run on a non-debug kernel (Debian's default kernel config): $ cat test-fiemap.sh #!/bin/bash DEV=/dev/sdi MNT=/mnt/sdi umount $DEV &> /dev/null mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV # Use compression to quickly create files with a lot of extents # (each with a size of 128K). mount -o compress=lzo $DEV $MNT # 40G gives 327680 extents, each with a size of 128K. xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xab -b 1M 0 40G" $MNT/foobar # Add some more files to increase the size of the fs and extent # trees (in the real world there's a lot of files and extents # from other files). xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xcd -b 1M 0 20G" $MNT/file1 xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xef -b 1M 0 20G" $MNT/file2 xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0x73 -b 1M 0 20G" $MNT/file3 umount $MNT mount -o compress=lzo $DEV $MNT start=$(date +%s%N) filefrag $MNT/foobar end=$(date +%s%N) dur=$(( (end - start) / 1000000 )) echo "fiemap took $dur milliseconds (metadata not cached)" echo start=$(date +%s%N) filefrag $MNT/foobar end=$(date +%s%N) dur=$(( (end - start) / 1000000 )) echo "fiemap took $dur milliseconds (metadata cached)" umount $MNT Before applying this patch: (...) /mnt/sdi/foobar: 327680 extents found fiemap took 1285 milliseconds (metadata not cached) /mnt/sdi/foobar: 327680 extents found fiemap took 742 milliseconds (metadata cached) After applying this patch: (...) /mnt/sdi/foobar: 327680 extents found fiemap took 689 milliseconds (metadata not cached) /mnt/sdi/foobar: 327680 extents found fiemap took 393 milliseconds (metadata cached) That's a -46.4% total reduction for the metadata not cached case, and a -47.0% reduction for the cached metadata case. The test is somewhat limited in the sense the gains may be higher in practice, because in the test the filesystem is small, so we have small fs and extent trees, plus there's no concurrent access to the trees as well, therefore no lock contention there.

Currently whenever we find the data extent that a file extent item points to is not directly shared, we always resolve the path in the fs tree, and then check if any extent buffer in the path is shared. This is a lot of work and when we have file extent items that belong to the same leaf, we have the same path, so we only need to calculate it once. This change does that, it keeps track of the current and previous leaf, and when we find that a data extent is not directly shared, we try to compute the fs tree path only once and then use it for every other file extent item in the same leaf, using the existing cached path result for the leaf as long as the cache results are valid. This saves us from doing expensive b+tree searches in the fs tree of our target inode, as well as other minor work. The following test was run on a non-debug kernel (Debian's default kernel config): $ cat test-with-snapshots.sh #!/bin/bash DEV=/dev/sdi MNT=/mnt/sdi umount $DEV &> /dev/null mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV # Use compression to quickly create files with a lot of extents # (each with a size of 128K). mount -o compress=lzo $DEV $MNT # 40G gives 327680 extents, each with a size of 128K. xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xab -b 1M 0 40G" $MNT/foobar # Add some more files to increase the size of the fs and extent # trees (in the real world there's a lot of files and extents # from other files). xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xcd -b 1M 0 20G" $MNT/file1 xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xef -b 1M 0 20G" $MNT/file2 xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0x73 -b 1M 0 20G" $MNT/file3 # Create a snapshot so all the extents become indirectly shared # through subtrees, with a generation less than or equals to the # generation used to create the snapshot. btrfs subvolume snapshot -r $MNT $MNT/snap1 umount $MNT mount -o compress=lzo $DEV $MNT start=$(date +%s%N) filefrag $MNT/foobar end=$(date +%s%N) dur=$(( (end - start) / 1000000 )) echo "fiemap took $dur milliseconds (metadata not cached)" echo start=$(date +%s%N) filefrag $MNT/foobar end=$(date +%s%N) dur=$(( (end - start) / 1000000 )) echo "fiemap took $dur milliseconds (metadata cached)" umount $MNT Result before applying this patch: (...) /mnt/sdi/foobar: 327680 extents found fiemap took 1204 milliseconds (metadata not cached) /mnt/sdi/foobar: 327680 extents found fiemap took 729 milliseconds (metadata cached) Result after applying this patch: (...) /mnt/sdi/foobar: 327680 extents found fiemap took 732 milliseconds (metadata not cached) /mnt/sdi/foobar: 327680 extents found fiemap took 421 milliseconds (metadata cached) That's a -46.1% total reduction for the metadata not cached case, and a -42.2% reduction for the cached metadata case. The test is somewhat limited in the sense the gains may be higher in practice, because in the test the filesystem is small, so we have small fs and extent trees, plus there's no concurrent access to the trees as well, therefore no lock contention there.

Move the static functions to lookup and store sharedness check of an extent buffer to a location above find_all_parents(), because in the next patch the lookup function will be used by find_all_parents(). The store function is also moved just because it's the counter part to the lookup function and it's best to have their definitions close together.

During fiemap we process all the file extent items of an inode, by their file offset order (left to right b+tree order), and then check if the data extent they point at is shared or not. Until now we didn't cache those results, we only did it for b+tree nodes/leaves since for each unique b+tree path we have access to hundreds of file extent items. However, it is also common to repeat checking the sharedness of a particular data extent in a very short time window, and the cases that lead to that are the following: 1) COW writes. If have a file extent item like this: [ bytenr X, offset = 0, num_bytes = 512K ] file offset 0 512K Then a 4K write into file offset 64K happens, we end up with the following file extent item layout: [ bytenr X, offset = 0, num_bytes = 64K ] file offset 0 64K [ bytenr Y, offset = 0, num_bytes = 4K ] file offset 64K 68K [ bytenr X, offset = 68K, num_bytes = 444K ] file offset 68K 512K So during fiemap we well check for the sharedness of the data extent with bytenr X twice. Typically for COW writes and for at least moderately updated files, we end up with many file extent items that point to different sections of the same data extent. 2) Writing into a NOCOW file after a snapshot is taken. This happens if the target extent was created in a generation older than the generation where the last snapshot for the root (the tree the inode belongs to) was made. This leads to a scenario like the previous one. 3) Writing into sections of a preallocated extent. For example if a file has the following layout: [ bytenr X, offset = 0, num_bytes = 1M, type = prealloc ] 0 1M After doing a 4K write into file offset 0 and another 4K write into offset 512K, we get the following layout: [ bytenr X, offset = 0, num_bytes = 4K, type = regular ] 0 4K [ bytenr X, offset = 4K, num_bytes = 508K, type = prealloc ] 4K 512K [ bytenr X, offset = 512K, num_bytes = 4K, type = regular ] 512K 516K [ bytenr X, offset = 516K, num_bytes = 508K, type = prealloc ] 516K 1M So we end up with 4 consecutive file extent items pointing to the data extent at bytenr X. 4) Hole punching in the middle of an extent. For example if a file has the following file extent item: [ bytenr X, offset = 0, num_bytes = 8M ] 0 8M And then hole is punched for the file range [4M, 6M[, we our file extent item split into two: [ bytenr X, offset = 0, num_bytes = 4M ] 0 4M [ 2M hole, implicit or explicit depending on NO_HOLES feature ] 4M 6M [ bytenr X, offset = 6M, num_bytes = 2M ] 6M 8M Again, we end up with two file extent items pointing to the same data extent. 5) When reflinking (clone and deduplication) within the same file. This is probably the least common case of all. In cases 1, 2, 4 and 4, when we have multiple file extent items that point to the same data extent, their distance is usually short, typically separated by a few slots in a b+tree leaf (or across sibling leaves). For case 5, the distance can vary a lot, but it's typically the less common case. This change caches the result of the sharedness checks for data extents, but only for the last 8 extents that we notice that our inode refers to with multiple file extent items. Whenever we want to check if a data extent is shared, we lookup the cache which consists of doing a linear scan of an 8 elements array, and if we find the data extent there, we return the result and don't check the extent tree and delayed refs. The array/cache is small so that doing the search has no noticeable negative impact on the performance in case we don't have file extent items within a distance of 8 slots that point to the same data extent. Slots in the cache/array are overwritten in a simple round robin fashion, as that approach fits very well. Using this simple approach with only the last 8 data extents seen is effective as usually when multiple file extents items point to the same data extent, their distance is within 8 slots. It also uses very little memory and the time to cache a result or lookup the cache is negligible. The following test was run on non-debug kernel (Debian's default kernel config) to measure the impact in the case of COW writes (first example given above), where we run fiemap after overwriting 33% of the blocks of a file: $ cat test.sh #!/bin/bash DEV=/dev/sdi MNT=/mnt/sdi umount $DEV &> /dev/null mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV mount $DEV $MNT FILE_SIZE=$((1 * 1024 * 1024 * 1024)) # Create the file full of 1M extents. xfs_io -f -s -c "pwrite -b 1M -S 0xab 0 $FILE_SIZE" $MNT/foobar block_count=$((FILE_SIZE / 4096)) # Overwrite about 33% of the file blocks. overwrite_count=$((block_count / 3)) echo -e "\nOverwriting $overwrite_count 4K blocks (out of $block_count)..." RANDOM=123 for ((i = 1; i <= $overwrite_count; i++)); do off=$(((RANDOM % block_count) * 4096)) xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xcd $off 4K" $MNT/foobar > /dev/null echo -ne "\r$i blocks overwritten..." done echo -e "\n" # Unmount and mount to clear all cached metadata. umount $MNT mount $DEV $MNT start=$(date +%s%N) filefrag $MNT/foobar end=$(date +%s%N) dur=$(( (end - start) / 1000000 )) echo "fiemap took $dur milliseconds" umount $MNT Result before applying this patch: fiemap took 128 milliseconds Result after applying this patch: fiemap took 92 milliseconds (-28.1%) The test is somewhat limited in the sense the gains may be higher in practice, because in the test the filesystem is small, so we have small fs and extent trees, plus there's no concurrent access to the trees as well, therefore no lock contention there.
