btrfs: change root->root_key.objectid to btrfs_root_id()
A comment from Filipe on one of my previous cleanups brought my attention to a new helper we have for getting the root id of a root, which makes it easier to read in the code. The changes where made with the following Coccinelle semantic patch: // <smpl> @@ expression E,E1; @@ ( E->root_key.objectid = E1 | - E->root_key.objectid + btrfs_root_id(E) ) // </smpl> Reviewed-by: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@toxicpanda.com> Reviewed-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> [ minor style fixups ] Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> |

btrfs: move ->parent and ->ref_root into btrfs_delayed_ref_node
These two members are shared by both the tree refs and data refs, so move them into btrfs_delayed_ref_node proper. This allows us to greatly simplify the comparison code, as the shared refs always only sort on parent, and the non shared refs always sort first on ref_root, and then only data refs sort on their specific fields.

Merge tag 'for-6.7-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux
Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
"New features:
- raid-stripe-tree
New tree for logical file extent mapping where the physical mapping
may not match on multiple devices. This is now used in zoned mode
to implement RAID0/RAID1* profiles, but can be used in non-zoned
mode as well. The support for RAID56 is in development and will
eventually fix the problems with the current implementation. This
is a backward incompatible feature and has to be enabled at mkfs
time.
- simple quota accounting (squota)
A simplified mode of qgroup that accounts all space on the initial
extent owners (a subvolume), the snapshots are then cheap to create
and delete. The deletion of snapshots in fully accounting qgroups
is a known CPU/IO performance bottleneck.
The squota is not suitable for the general use case but works well
for containers where the original subvolume exists for the whole
time. This is a backward incompatible feature as it needs extending
some structures, but can be enabled on an existing filesystem.
- temporary filesystem fsid (temp_fsid)
The fsid identifies a filesystem and is hard coded in the
structures, which disallows mounting the same fsid found on
different devices.
For a single device filesystem this is not strictly necessary, a
new temporary fsid can be generated on mount e.g. after a device is
cloned. This will be used by Steam Deck for root partition A/B
testing, or can be used for VM root images.
Other user visible changes:
- filesystems with partially finished metadata_uuid conversion cannot
be mounted anymore and the uuid fixup has to be done by btrfs-progs
(btrfstune).
Performance improvements:
- reduce reservations for checksum deletions (with enabled free space
tree by factor of 4), on a sample workload on file with many
extents the deletion time decreased by 12%
- make extent state merges more efficient during insertions, reduce
rb-tree iterations (run time of critical functions reduced by 5%)
Core changes:
- the integrity check functionality has been removed, this was a
debugging feature and removal does not affect other integrity
checks like checksums or tree-checker
- space reservation changes:
- more efficient delayed ref reservations, this avoids building up
too much work or overusing or exhausting the global block
reserve in some situations
- move delayed refs reservation to the transaction start time,
this prevents some ENOSPC corner cases related to exhaustion of
global reserve
- improvements in reducing excessive reservations for block group
items
- adjust overcommit logic in near full situations, account for one
more chunk to eventually allocate metadata chunk, this is mostly
relevant for small filesystems (<10GiB)
- single device filesystems are scanned but not registered (except
seed devices), this allows temp_fsid to work
- qgroup iterations do not need GFP_ATOMIC allocations anymore
- cleanups, refactoring, reduced data structure size, function
parameter simplifications, error handling fixes"

btrfs: fix unwritten extent buffer after snapshotting a new subvolume
When creating a snapshot of a subvolume that was created in the current transaction, we can end up not persisting a dirty extent buffer that is referenced by the snapshot, resulting in IO errors due to checksum failures when trying to read the extent buffer later from disk. A sequence of steps that leads to this is the following: 1) At ioctl.c:create_subvol() we allocate an extent buffer, with logical address 36007936, for the leaf/root of a new subvolume that has an ID of 291. We mark the extent buffer as dirty, and at this point the subvolume tree has a single node/leaf which is also its root (level 0); 2) We no longer commit the transaction used to create the subvolume at create_subvol(). We used to, but that was recently removed in commit |

btrfs: new inline ref storing owning subvol of data extents
In order to implement simple quota groups, we need to be able to associate a data extent with the subvolume that created it. Once you account for reflink, this information cannot be recovered without explicitly storing it. Options for storing it are: - a new key/item - a new extent inline ref item The former is backwards compatible, but wastes space, the latter is incompat, but is efficient in space and reuses the existing inline ref machinery, while only abusing it a tiny amount -- specifically, the new item is not a ref, per-se.

btrfs: remove v0 extent handling
The v0 extent item has been deprecated for a long time, and we don't have any report from the community either. So it's time to remove the v0 extent specific error handling, and just treat them as regular extent tree corruption. This patch would remove the btrfs_print_v0_err() helper, and enhance the involved error handling to treat them just as any extent tree corruption. No reports regarding v0 extents have been seen since the graceful handling was added in 2018. This involves: - btrfs_backref_add_tree_node() This change is a little tricky, the new code is changed to only handle BTRFS_TREE_BLOCK_REF_KEY and BTRFS_SHARED_BLOCK_REF_KEY. But this is safe, as we have rejected any unknown inline refs through btrfs_get_extent_inline_ref_type(). For keyed backrefs, we're safe to skip anything we don't know (that's if it can pass tree-checker in the first place). - btrfs_lookup_extent_info() - lookup_inline_extent_backref() - run_delayed_extent_op() - __btrfs_free_extent() - add_tree_block() Regular error handling of unexpected extent tree item, and abort transaction (if we have a trans handle). - remove_extent_data_ref() It's pretty much the same as the regular rejection of unknown backref key. But for this particular case, we can also remove a BUG_ON(). - extent_data_ref_count() We can remove the BTRFS_EXTENT_REF_V0_KEY BUG_ON(), as it would be rejected by the only caller. - btrfs_print_leaf() Remove the handling for BTRFS_EXTENT_REF_V0_KEY.

btrfs: ignore fiemap path cache when there are multiple paths for a node
During fiemap, when walking backreferences to determine if a b+tree
node/leaf is shared, we may find a tree block (leaf or node) for which
two parents were added to the references ulist. This happens if we get
for example one direct ref (shared tree block ref) and one indirect ref
(non-shared tree block ref) for the tree block at the current level,
which can happen during relocation.
In that case the fiemap path cache can not be used since it's meant for
a single path, with one tree block at each possible level, so having
multiple references for a tree block at any level may result in getting
the level counter exceed BTRFS_MAX_LEVEL and eventually trigger the
warning:
WARN_ON_ONCE(level >= BTRFS_MAX_LEVEL)
at lookup_backref_shared_cache() and at store_backref_shared_cache().
This is harmless since the code ignores any level >= BTRFS_MAX_LEVEL, the
warning is there just to catch any unexpected case like the one described
above. However if a user finds this it may be scary and get reported.
So just ignore the path cache once we find a tree block for which there
are more than one reference, which is the less common case, and update
the cache with the sharedness check result for all levels below the level
for which we found multiple references.

btrfs: skip backref walking during fiemap if we know the leaf is shared
During fiemap, when checking if a data extent is shared we are doing the backref walking even if we already know the leaf is shared, which is a waste of time since if the leaf shared then the data extent is also shared. So skip the backref walking when we know we are in a shared leaf. The following test was measures the gains for a case where all leaves are shared due to a snapshot: $ cat test.sh #!/bin/bash DEV=/dev/sdj MNT=/mnt/sdj 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 # Unmount and mount again to clear cached metadata. umount $MNT mount -o compress=lzo $DEV $MNT start=$(date +%s%N) # The filefrag tool uses the fiemap ioctl. 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 The results were the following on a non-debug kernel (Debian's default kernel config).

btrfs: assert commit root semaphore is held when accessing backref cache

I left comments about this in the comment that precedes store_backref_shared_cache() and lookup_backref_shared_cache(), but have actually not enforced it through assertions. So assert that the commit root semaphore is held if we are not holding a transaction handle.

btrfs: fix resolving backrefs for inline extent followed by prealloc
If a file consists of an inline extent followed by a regular or prealloc extent, then a legitimate attempt to resolve a logical address in the non-inline region will result in add_all_parents reading the invalid offset field of the inline extent. If the inline extent item is placed in the leaf eb s.t. it is the first item, attempting to access the offset field will not only be meaningless, it will go past the end of the eb and cause this panic: [17.626048] BTRFS warning (device dm-2): bad eb member end: ptr 0x3fd4 start 30834688 member offset 16377 size 8 [17.631693] general protection fault, probably for non-canonical address 0x5088000000000: 0000 [#1] SMP PTI [17.635041] CPU: 2 PID: 1267 Comm: btrfs Not tainted 5.12.0-07246-g75175d5adc74-dirty #199 [17.637969] Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (i440FX + PIIX, 1996), BIOS rel-1.14.0-0-g155821a1990b-prebuilt.qemu.org 04/01/2014 [17.641995] RIP: 0010:btrfs_get_64+0xe7/0x110 [17.649890] RSP: 0018:ffffc90001f73a08 EFLAGS: 00010202 [17.651652] RAX: 0000000000000001 RBX: ffff88810c42d000 RCX: 0000000000000000 [17.653921] RDX: 0005088000000000 RSI: ffffc90001f73a0f RDI: 0000000000000001 [17.656174] RBP: 0000000000000ff9 R08: 0000000000000007 R09: c0000000fffeffff [17.658441] R10: ffffc90001f73790 R11: ffffc90001f73788 R12: ffff888106afe918 [17.661070] R13: 0000000000003fd4 R14: 0000000000003f6f R15: cdcdcdcdcdcdcdcd [17.663617] FS: 00007f64e7627d80(0000) GS:ffff888237c80000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 [17.666525] CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 [17.668664] CR2: 000055d4a39152e8 CR3: 000000010c596002 CR4: 0000000000770ee0 [17.671253] DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 [17.673634] DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 [17.676034] PKRU: 55555554 [17.677004] Call Trace: [17.677877] add_all_parents+0x276/0x480 [17.679325] find_parent_nodes+0xfae/0x1590 [17.680771] btrfs_find_all_leafs+0x5e/0xa0 [17.682217] iterate_extent_inodes+0xce/0x260 [17.683809] ? btrfs_inode_flags_to_xflags+0x50/0x50 [17.685597] ? iterate_inodes_from_logical+0xa1/0xd0 [17.687404] iterate_inodes_from_logical+0xa1/0xd0 [17.689121] ? btrfs_inode_flags_to_xflags+0x50/0x50 [17.691010] btrfs_ioctl_logical_to_ino+0x131/0x190 [17.692946] btrfs_ioctl+0x104a/0x2f60 [17.694384] ? selinux_file_ioctl+0x182/0x220 [17.695995] ? __x64_sys_ioctl+0x84/0xc0 [17.697394] __x64_sys_ioctl+0x84/0xc0 [17.698697] do_syscall_64+0x33/0x40 [17.700017] entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae [17.701753] RIP: 0033:0x7f64e72761b7 [17.709355] RSP: 002b:00007ffefb067f58 EFLAGS: 00000246 ORIG_RAX: 0000000000000010 [17.712088] RAX: ffffffffffffffda RBX: 0000000000000003 RCX: 00007f64e72761b7 [17.714667] RDX: 00007ffefb067fb0 RSI: 00000000c0389424 RDI: 0000000000000003 [17.717386] RBP: 00007ffefb06d188 R08: 000055d4a390d2b0 R09: 00007f64e7340a60 [17.719938] R10: 0000000000000231 R11: 0000000000000246 R12: 0000000000000001 [17.722383] R13: 0000000000000000 R14: 00000000c0389424 R15: 000055d4a38fd2a0 [17.724839] Modules linked in: Fix the bug by detecting the inline extent item in add_all_parents and skipping to the next extent item.

btrfs: concentrate all tree block parentness check parameters into one structure
There are several different tree block parentness check parameters used across several helpers: - level Mandatory - transid Under most cases it's mandatory, but there are several backref cases which skips this check. - owner_root - first_key Utilized by most top-down tree search routine. Otherwise can be skipped. Those four members are not always mandatory checks, and some of them are the same u64, which means if some arguments got swapped compiler will not catch it. Furthermore if we're going to further expand the parentness check, we need to modify quite some helpers just to add one more parameter. This patch will concentrate all these members into a structure called btrfs_tree_parent_check, and pass that structure for the following helpers: - btrfs_read_extent_buffer() - read_tree_block() Signed-off-by: Qu Wenruo <wqu@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> |

btrfs: send: skip resolution of our own backref when finding clone source
When doing backref walking to determine a source range to clone from, it
is worthless to collect and resolve our own data backref, as we can't
obviously use it as a clone source and it represents the range we want to
clone into. Collecting the backref implies doing the extra work to resolve
it, doing the search for a file extent item in a subvolume tree, etc.
Skipping the data backref is valid as long as we only have the send root
as the single clone root, otherwise the leaf with the file extent item may
be accessible from another clone root due to shared subtrees created by
snapshots, and therefore we have to collect the backref and resolve it.
So add a callback to the backref walking code to guide it to skip data
backrefs.
This change is part of a patchset comprised of the following patches:

btrfs: send: avoid double extent tree search when finding clone source
At find_extent_clone() we search twice for the extent item corresponding to the data extent that the current file extent items points to: 1) Once with a call to extent_from_logical(); 2) Once again during backref walking, through iterate_extent_inodes() which eventually leads to find_parent_nodes() where we will search again the extent tree for the same extent item. The extent tree can be huge, so doing this one extra search for every extent we want to send adds up and it's expensive. The first call is there since the send code was introduced and it accomplishes two things: 1) Check that the extent is flagged as a data extent in the extent tree. But it can not be anything else, otherwise we wouldn't have a file extent item in the send root pointing to it. This was probably added to catch bugs in the early days where send was yet too young and the interaction with everything else was far from perfect; 2) Check how many direct references there are on the extent, and if there's too many (more than SEND_MAX_EXTENT_REFS), avoid doing the backred walking as it may take too long and slowdown send. So improve on this by having a callback in the backref walking code that is called when it finds the extent item in the extent tree, and have those checks done in the callback. When the callback returns anything different from 0, it stops the backref walking code. This way we do a single search on the extent tree for the extent item of our data extent. Also, before this change we were only checking the number of references on the data extent against SEND_MAX_EXTENT_REFS, but after starting backref walking we will end up resolving backrefs for extent buffers in the path from a leaf having a file extent item pointing to our data extent, up to roots of trees from which the extent buffer is accessible from, due to shared subtrees resulting from snapshoting. We were therefore allowing for the possibility for send taking too long due to some node in the path from the leaf to a root node being shared too many times. After this change we check for reference counts being greater than SEND_MAX_EXTENT_REFS for both data extents and metadata extents.

btrfs: send: skip unnecessary backref iterations
When looking for a clone source for an extent, we are iterating over all the backreferences for an extent. This is often a waste of time, because once we find a good clone source we could stop immediately instead of continuing backref walking, which is expensive. Basically what happens currently is this: 1) Call iterate_extent_inodes() to iterate over all the backreferences; 2) It calls btrfs_find_all_leafs() which in turn calls the main function to walk over backrefs and collect them - find_parent_nodes(); 3) Then we collect all the references for our target data extent from the extent tree (and delayed refs if any), add them to the rb trees, resolve all the indirect backreferences and search for all the file extent items in fs trees, building a list of inodes for each one of them (struct extent_inode_elem); 4) Then back at iterate_extent_inodes() we find all the roots associated to each found leaf, and call the callback __iterate_backrefs defined at send.c for each inode in the inode list associated to each leaf. Some times one the first backreferences we find in a fs tree is optimal to satisfy the clone operation that send wants to perform, and in that case we could stop immediately and avoid resolving all the remaining indirect backreferences (search fs trees for the respective file extent items, etc). This possibly if when we find a fs tree leaf with a file extent item we are able to know what are all the roots that can lead to the leaf - this is now possible after the previous patch in the series that adds a cache that maps leaves to a list of roots. So we can now shortcircuit backref walking during send, by having the callback we pass to iterate_extent_inodes() to be called when we find a file extent item for an indirect backreference, and have it return a special value when it found a suitable backreference and it does not need to look for more backreferences. This change does that. This change is part of a patchset comprised of the following patches: 01/17 btrfs: fix inode list leak during backref walking at resolve_indirect_refs() 02/17 btrfs: fix inode list leak during backref walking at find_parent_nodes() 03/17 btrfs: fix ulist leaks in error paths of qgroup self tests 04/17 btrfs: remove pointless and double ulist frees in error paths of qgroup tests 05/17 btrfs: send: avoid unnecessary path allocations when finding extent clone 06/17 btrfs: send: update comment at find_extent_clone() 07/17 btrfs: send: drop unnecessary backref context field initializations 08/17 btrfs: send: avoid unnecessary backref lookups when finding clone source 09/17 btrfs: send: optimize clone detection to increase extent sharing 10/17 btrfs: use a single argument for extent offset in backref walking functions 11/17 btrfs: use a structure to pass arguments to backref walking functions 12/17 btrfs: reuse roots ulist on each leaf iteration for iterate_extent_inodes() 13/17 btrfs: constify ulist parameter of ulist_next() 14/17 btrfs: send: cache leaf to roots mapping during backref walking 15/17 btrfs: send: skip unnecessary backref iterations 16/17 btrfs: send: avoid double extent tree search when finding clone source 17/17 btrfs: send: skip resolution of our own backref when finding clone source Performance test results are in the changelog of patch 17/17.

btrfs: send: cache leaf to roots mapping during backref walking
During a send operation, when doing backref walking to determine which inodes/offsets/roots we can clone from, the most repetitive and expensive step is to map each leaf that has file extent items pointing to the target data extent to the IDs of the roots from which the leaves are accessible, which happens at iterate_extent_inodes(). That step requires finding every parent node of a leaf, then the parent of each parent, and so on until we reach a root node. So it's a naturally expensive operation, and repetitive because each leaf can have hundreds of file extent items (for a nodesize of 16K, that can be slightly over 200 file extent items). There's also temporal locality, as we process all file extent items from a leave before moving the next leaf. This change caches the mapping of leaves to root IDs, to avoid repeating those computations over and over again. The cache is limited to a maximum of 128 entries, with each entry being a struct with a size of 128 bytes, so the maximum cache size is 16K plus any nodes internally allocated by the maple tree that is used to index pointers to those structs. The cache is invalidated whenever we detect relocation happened since we started filling the cache, because if relocation happened then extent buffers for leaves and nodes of the trees used by a send operation may have been reallocated. This cache also allows for another important optimization that is introduced in the next patch in the series. This change is part of a patchset comprised of the following patches: 01/17 btrfs: fix inode list leak during backref walking at resolve_indirect_refs() 02/17 btrfs: fix inode list leak during backref walking at find_parent_nodes() 03/17 btrfs: fix ulist leaks in error paths of qgroup self tests 04/17 btrfs: remove pointless and double ulist frees in error paths of qgroup tests 05/17 btrfs: send: avoid unnecessary path allocations when finding extent clone 06/17 btrfs: send: update comment at find_extent_clone() 07/17 btrfs: send: drop unnecessary backref context field initializations 08/17 btrfs: send: avoid unnecessary backref lookups when finding clone source 09/17 btrfs: send: optimize clone detection to increase extent sharing 10/17 btrfs: use a single argument for extent offset in backref walking functions 11/17 btrfs: use a structure to pass arguments to backref walking functions 12/17 btrfs: reuse roots ulist on each leaf iteration for iterate_extent_inodes() 13/17 btrfs: constify ulist parameter of ulist_next() 14/17 btrfs: send: cache leaf to roots mapping during backref walking 15/17 btrfs: send: skip unnecessary backref iterations 16/17 btrfs: send: avoid double extent tree search when finding clone source 17/17 btrfs: send: skip resolution of our own backref when finding clone source Performance test results are in the changelog of patch 17/17.

btrfs: reuse roots ulist on each leaf iteration for iterate_extent_inodes()
At iterate_extent_inodes() we collect a ulist of leaves for a given extent with a call to btrfs_find_all_leafs() and then we enter a loop where we iterate over all the collected leaves. Each iteration of that loop does a call to btrfs_find_all_roots_safe(), to determine all roots from which a leaf is accessible, and that results in allocating and releasing a ulist to store the root IDs. Instead of allocating and releasing the roots ulist on every iteration, allocate a ulist before entering the loop and keep using it on each iteration, reinitializing the ulist at the end of each iteration.

btrfs: use a structure to pass arguments to backref walking functions
The public backref walking functions have quite a lot of arguments that are passed down the call stack to find_parent_nodes(), the core function of the backref walking code. The next patches in series will need to add even arguments to these functions that should be passed not only to find_parent_nodes(), but also to other functions used by the later (directly or even lower in the call stack). So create a structure to hold all these arguments and state used by the main backref walking function, find_parent_nodes(), and use it as the argument for the public backref walking functions iterate_extent_inodes(), btrfs_find_all_leafs() and btrfs_find_all_roots().

btrfs: use a single argument for extent offset in backref walking functions
The interface for find_parent_nodes() has two extent offset related
arguments:
1) One u64 pointer argument for the extent offset;
2) One boolean argument to tell if the extent offset should be ignored or
not.
These are confusing, becase the extent offset pointer can be NULL and in
some cases callers pass a NULL value as a way to tell the backref walking
code to ignore offsets in file extent items (and simply consider all file
extent items that point to the target data extent).
The boolean argument was added in commit

btrfs: send: optimize clone detection to increase extent sharing
Currently send does not do the best decisions when it comes to decide
between multiple clone sources, which results in clone operations for
partial extent ranges, which has the following disadvantages:
1) We get less shared extents at the destination;
2) We have to read more data during the send operation and emit more
write commands.
Besides not being optimal behaviour, it also breaks user expectations and
is often reported by users, with a recent example in the Link tag at the
bottom of this change log.
Part of the reason for this non-optimal behaviour is that the backref
walking code does not provide information about the length of the file
extent items that were found for each backref, so send is blind about
which backref is the best to chose as a cloning source.
The other existing reasons are just silliness, namely always prefering
the inode with the lowest number when multiple are found for the same
root and when we can clone from multiple roots, always prefer the send
root over any of the other clone roots. This does not make any sense
since any inode or root is fine and as good as any other inode/root.
Fix this by making backref walking pass information about the number of
bytes referenced by each file extent item and then have send's backref
callback pick the inode with the highest number of bytes for each root.
Finally select the root from which we can clone more bytes from.

Now there's a much better sharing, files bar and baz share 1M of the
extent of file foo and the second extent of files bar and baz is shared
between themselves.
This will later be turned into a test case for fstests.

btrfs: avoid unnecessary resolution of indirect backrefs during fiemap
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.

btrfs: avoid duplicated resolution of indirect backrefs during fiemap
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. 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.

btrfs: move up backref sharedness cache store and lookup functions
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().

btrfs: cache sharedness of the last few data extents during fiemap
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.

btrfs: remove useless logic when finding parent nodes
At find_parent_nodes(), at its last step, when iterating over all direct
references, we are checking if we have a share context and if we have
a reference with a different root from the one in the share context.
However that logic is pointless because of two reasons:
1) After the previous patch in the series (subject "btrfs: remove roots
ulist when checking data extent sharedness"), the roots argument is
always NULL when using a share check context (struct share_check), so
this code is never triggered;
2) Even before that previous patch, we could not hit this code because
if we had a reference with a root different from the one in our share
context, then we would have exited earlier when doing either of the
following:
- Adding a second direct ref to the direct refs red black tree
resulted in extent_is_shared() returning true when called from
add_direct_ref() -> add_prelim_ref(), after processing delayed
references or while processing references in the extent tree;
- When adding a second reference to the indirect refs red black
tree (same as above, extent_is_shared() returns true);
- If we only have one indirect reference and no direct references,
then when resolving it at resolve_indirect_refs() we immediately
return that the target extent is shared, therefore never reaching
that loop that iterates over all direct references at
find_parent_nodes();
- If we have 1 indirect reference and 1 direct reference, then we
also exit early because extent_is_shared() ends up returning true
when called through add_prelim_ref() (by add_direct_ref() or
add_indirect_ref()) or add_delayed_refs(). Same applies as when
having a combination of direct, indirect and indirect with missing
key references.
This logic had been obsoleted since commit

btrfs: remove roots ulist when checking data extent sharedness
Currently btrfs_is_data_extent_shared() is passing a ulist for the roots argument of find_parent_nodes(), however it does not use that ulist for anything and for this context that list always ends up with at most one element. Since find_parent_nodes() is able to deal with a NULL ulist for its roots argument, make btrfs_is_data_extent_shared() pass it NULL and avoid the burden of allocating memory for the unnused roots ulist, initializing it, releasing it and allocating one struct ulist_node for it during the call to find_parent_nodes().

btrfs: move ulists to data extent sharedness check context
When calling btrfs_is_data_extent_shared() we pass two ulists that were allocated by the caller. This is because the single caller, fiemap, calls btrfs_is_data_extent_shared() multiple times and the ulists can be reused, instead of allocating new ones before each call and freeing them after each call. Now that we have a context structure/object that we pass to btrfs_is_data_extent_shared(), we can move those ulists to it, and hide their allocation and the context's allocation in a helper function, as well as the freeing of the ulists and the context object. This allows to reduce the number of parameters passed to btrfs_is_data_extent_shared(), the need to pass the ulists from extent_fiemap() to fiemap_process_hole() and having the caller deal with allocating and releasing the ulists. Also rename one of the ulists from 'tmp' / 'tmp_ulist' to 'refs', since that's a much better name as it reflects what the list is used for (and matching the argument name for find_parent_nodes()).

In every context that we call btrfs_is_data_extent_shared() (fiemap only), we have an inode available, so directly pass the inode to the function instead of a root and inode number. This reduces the number of parameters and it makes the function's signature conform to most other functions we have.

btrfs: remove checks for a 0 inode number during backref walking
When doing backref walking to determine if an extent is shared, we are testing if the inode number, stored in the 'inum' field of struct share_check, is 0. However that can never be case, since the all instances of the structure are created at btrfs_is_data_extent_shared(), which always initializes it with the inode number from a fs tree (and the number for any inode from any tree can never be 0). So remove the checks. Signed-off-by: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> |

btrfs: remove checks for a root with id 0 during backref walking
When doing backref walking to determine if an extent is shared, we are testing the root_objectid of the given share_check struct is 0, but that is an impossible case, since btrfs_is_data_extent_shared() always initializes the root_objectid field with the id of the given root, and no root can have an objectid of 0. So remove those checks. Signed-off-by: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> |

btrfs: fix inode list leak during backref walking at find_parent_nodes()
During backref walking, at find_parent_nodes(), if we are dealing with a
data extent and we get an error while resolving the indirect backrefs, at
resolve_indirect_refs(), or in the while loop that iterates over the refs
in the direct refs rbtree, we end up leaking the inode lists attached to
the direct refs we have in the direct refs rbtree that were not yet added
to the refs ulist passed as argument to find_parent_nodes(). Since they
were not yet added to the refs ulist and prelim_release() does not free
the lists, on error the caller can only free the lists attached to the
refs that were added to the refs ulist, all the remaining refs get their
inode lists never freed, therefore leaking their memory.
Fix this by having prelim_release() always free any attached inode list
to each ref found in the rbtree, and have find_parent_nodes() set the
ref's inode list to NULL once it transfers ownership of the inode list
to a ref added to the refs ulist passed to find_parent_nodes().

btrfs: fix inode list leak during backref walking at resolve_indirect_refs()
During backref walking, at resolve_indirect_refs(), if we get an error
we jump to the 'out' label and call ulist_free() on the 'parents' ulist,
which frees all the elements in the ulist - however that does not free
any inode lists that may be attached to elements, through the 'aux' field
of a ulist node, so we end up leaking lists if we have any attached to
the unodes.
Fix this by calling free_leaf_list() instead of ulist_free() when we exit
from resolve_indirect_refs(). The static function free_leaf_list() is
moved up for this to be possible and it's slightly simplified by removing
unnecessary code.

btrfs: ignore fiemap path cache if we have multiple leaves for a data extent
The path cache used during fiemap used to determine the sharedness of
extent buffers in a path from a leaf containing a file extent item
pointing to our data extent up to the root node of the tree, is meant to
be used for a single path. Having a single path is by far the most common
case, and therefore worth to optimize for, but it's possible to actually
have multiple paths because we have 2 or more leaves.
If we have multiple leaves, the 'level' variable keeps getting incremented
in each iteration of the while loop at btrfs_is_data_extent_shared(),
which means we will treat the second leaf in the 'tmp' ulist as a level 1
node, and so forth. In the worst case this can lead to getting a level
greater than or equals to BTRFS_MAX_LEVEL (8), which will trigger a
WARN_ON_ONCE() in the functions to lookup from or store in the path cache
(lookup_backref_shared_cache() and store_backref_shared_cache()). If the
current level never goes beyond 8, due to shared nodes in the paths and
a fs tree height smaller than 8, it can still result in incorrectly
marking one leaf as shared because some other leaf is shared and is stored
one level below that other leaf, as when storing a true sharedness value
in the cache results in updating the sharedness to true of all entries in
the cache below the current level.
Having multiple leaves happens in a case like the following:
- We have a file extent item point to data extent at bytenr X, for
a file range [0, 1M[ for example;
- At this moment we have an extent data ref for the extent, with
an offset of 0 and a count of 1;
- A write into the middle of the extent happens, file range [64K, 128K)
so the file extent item is split into two (at btrfs_drop_extents()):
1) One for file range [0, 64K), with a length (num_bytes field) of
64K and an extent offset of 0;
2) Another one for file range [128K, 1M), with a length of 896K
(1M - 128K) and an extent offset of 128K.
- At this moment the two file extent items are located in the same
leaf;
- A new file extent item for the range [64K, 128K), pointing to a new
data extent, is inserted in the leaf. This results in a leaf split
and now those two file extent items pointing to data extent X end
up located in different leaves;
- Once delayed refs are run, we still have a single extent data ref
item for our data extent at bytenr X, for offset 0, but now with a
count of 2 instead of 1;
- So during fiemap, at btrfs_is_data_extent_shared(), after we call
find_parent_nodes() for the data extent, we get two leaves, since
we have two file extent items point to data extent at bytenr X that
are located in two different leaves.
So skip the use of the path cache when we get more than one leaf.
