      Btrfs: fix free space accounting when unpinning extents · 07103a3c
      Josef Bacik authored
      This patch fixes what I hope is the last early ENOSPC bug left.  I did not know
      that pinned extents would merge into one big extent when inserted on to the
      pinned extent tree, so I was adding free space to a block group that could
      possibly span multiple block groups.
      
      This is a big issue because first that space doesn't exist in that block group,
      and second we won't actually use that space because there are a bunch of other
      checks to make sure we're allocating within the constraints of the block group.
      
      This patch fixes the problem by adding the btrfs_add_free_space to
      btrfs_update_pinned_extents which makes sure we are adding the appropriate
      amount of free space to the appropriate block group.  Thanks much to Lee Trager
      for running my myriad of debug patches to help me track this problem down.
      Thank you,

      Btrfs: Do fsync log replay when mount -o ro, except when on readonly media · 7c2ca468
      Chris Mason authored
      fsync log replay can change the filesystem, so it cannot be delayed until
      mount -o rw,remount, and it can't be forgotten entirely.  So, this patch
      changes btrfs to do with reiserfs, ext3 and xfs do, which is to do the
      log replay even when mounted readonly.
      
      On a readonly device if log replay is required, the mount is aborted.
      
      Getting all of this right had required fixing up some of the error
      handling in open_ctree.

      Btrfs: Avoid writeback stalls · d2c3f4f6
      Chris Mason authored
      While building large bios in writepages, btrfs may end up waiting
      for other page writeback to finish if WB_SYNC_ALL is used.
      
      While it is waiting, the bio it is building has a number of pages with the
      writeback bit set and they aren't getting to the disk any time soon.  This
      lowers the latencies of writeback in general by sending down the bio being
      built before waiting for other pages.
      
      The bio submission code tries to limit the total number of async bios in
      flight by waiting when we're over a certain number of async bios.  But,
      the waits are happening while writepages is building bios, and this can easily
      lead to stalls and other problems for people calling wait_on_page_writeback.
      
      The current fix is to let the congestion tests take care of waiting.
      
      sync() and others make sure to drain the current async requests to make
      sure that everything that was pending when the sync was started really get
      to disk.  The code would drain pending requests both before and after
      submitting a new request.
      
      But, if one of the requests is waiting for page writeback to finish,
      the draining waits might block that page writeback.  This changes the
      draining code to only wait after submitting the bio being processed.

      Btrfs: unplug all devices in the unplug call back · 9f0ba5bd
      Chris Mason authored
      For larger multi-device filesystems, there was logic to limit the
      number of devices unplugged to just the page that was sent to our sync_page
      function.
      
      But, the code wasn't always unplugging the right device.  Since this was
      just an optimization, disable it for now.

      Btrfs: Some fixes for batching extent insert. · b4eec2ca
      Liu Hui authored
      In insert_extents(), when ret==1 and last is not zero, it should
      check if the current inserted item is the last item in this batching
      inserts. If so, it should just break from loop. If not, 'cur =
      insert_list->next' will make no sense because the list is empty now,
      and 'op' will point to an unexpectable place.
      
      There are also some trivial fixs in this patch including one comment
      typo error and deleting two redundant lines.

      Btrfs: prevent loops in the directory tree when creating snapshots · ea9e8b11
      Chris Mason authored
      For a directory tree:
      
      /mnt/subvolA/subvolB
      
      btrfsctl -s /mnt/subvolA/subvolB /mnt
      
      Will create a directory loop with subvolA under subvolB.  This
      commit uses the forward refs for each subvol and snapshot to error out
      before creating the loop.

      Btrfs: Add backrefs and forward refs for subvols and snapshots · 0660b5af
      Chris Mason authored
      Subvols and snapshots can now be referenced from any point in the directory
      tree.  We need to maintain back refs for them so we can find lost
      subvols.
      
      Forward refs are added so that we know all of the subvols and
      snapshots referenced anywhere in the directory tree of a single subvol.  This
      can be used to do recursive snapshotting (but they aren't yet) and it is
      also used to detect and prevent directory loops when creating new snapshots.

      Btrfs: Give each subvol and snapshot their own anonymous devid · 3394e160
      Chris Mason authored
      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.

      Btrfs: Allow subvolumes and snapshots anywhere in the directory tree · 3de4586c
      Chris Mason authored
      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.

      Btrfs: fix free space leak · e3e469f8
      Josef Bacik authored
      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.

      libata: improve phantom device detection · 6a6b97d3
      Tejun Heo authored
      Currently libata uses four methods to detect device presence.
      
      1. PHY status if available.
      2. TF register R/W test (only promotes presence, never demotes)
      3. device signature after reset
      4. IDENTIFY failure detection in SFF state machine
      
      Combination of the above works well in most cases but recently there
      have been a few reports where a phantom device causes unnecessary
      delay during probe.  In both cases, PHY status wasn't available.  In
      one case, it passed #2 and #3 and failed IDENTIFY with ATA_ERR which
      didn't qualify as #4.  The other failed #2 but as it passed #3 and #4,
      it still caused failure.
      
      In both cases, phantom device reported diagnostic failure, so these
      cases can be safely worked around by considering any !ATA_DRQ IDENTIFY
      failure as NODEV_HINT if diagnostic failure is set.
