Currently btrfs_inode_in_log() checks the list of modified extents of the
inode, and has a comment mentioning why, as it used to be necessary to
make sure if we did something like the following:
mmap write range A
mmap write range B
msync range A (ranged fsync)
msync range B (ranged fsync)
we ended up with both ranges being logged.
If we did not check it, then the second fsync would do nothing because
btrfs_inode_in_log() would return true. This was added in 125c4cf9f3
("Btrfs: set inode's logged_trans/last_log_commit after ranged fsync") and
test case generic/325 from fstests exercises that scenario.
However, as of commit 487781796d ("btrfs: make fast fsyncs wait only
for writeback"), every ranged fsync is now turned into a full ranged fsync
(operates on the range from 0 to LLONG_MAX), so it is now pointless to
test of emptiness of the list of modified extents, and the comment is
clearly outdated.
So just remove the comment and list emptiness check, while also changing
the function's return type to be a boolean instead of an integer.
In case one day we get support for ranged fsyncs again, it will be easy
to notice the check is necessary again, because it will make generic/325
always fail.

We have a race between marking that an inode needs to be logged, either
at btrfs_set_inode_last_trans() or at btrfs_page_mkwrite(), and between
btrfs_sync_log(). The following steps describe how the race happens.
1) We are at transaction N;
2) Inode I was previously fsynced in the current transaction so it has:
inode->logged_trans set to N;
3) The inode's root currently has:
root->log_transid set to 1
root->last_log_commit set to 0
Which means only one log transaction was committed to far, log
transaction 0. When a log tree is created we set ->log_transid and
->last_log_commit of its parent root to 0 (at btrfs_add_log_tree());
4) One more range of pages is dirtied in inode I;
5) Some task A starts an fsync against some other inode J (same root), and
so it joins log transaction 1.
Before task A calls btrfs_sync_log()...
6) Task B starts an fsync against inode I, which currently has the full
sync flag set, so it starts delalloc and waits for the ordered extent
to complete before calling btrfs_inode_in_log() at btrfs_sync_file();
7) During ordered extent completion we have btrfs_update_inode() called
against inode I, which in turn calls btrfs_set_inode_last_trans(),
which does the following:
spin_lock(&inode->lock);
inode->last_trans = trans->transaction->transid;
inode->last_sub_trans = inode->root->log_transid;
inode->last_log_commit = inode->root->last_log_commit;
spin_unlock(&inode->lock);
So ->last_trans is set to N and ->last_sub_trans set to 1.
But before setting ->last_log_commit...
8) Task A is at btrfs_sync_log():
- it increments root->log_transid to 2
- starts writeback for all log tree extent buffers
- waits for the writeback to complete
- writes the super blocks
- updates root->last_log_commit to 1
It's a lot of slow steps between updating root->log_transid and
root->last_log_commit;
9) The task doing the ordered extent completion, currently at
btrfs_set_inode_last_trans(), then finally runs:
inode->last_log_commit = inode->root->last_log_commit;
spin_unlock(&inode->lock);
Which results in inode->last_log_commit being set to 1.
The ordered extent completes;
10) Task B is resumed, and it calls btrfs_inode_in_log() which returns
true because we have all the following conditions met:
inode->logged_trans == N which matches fs_info->generation &&
inode->last_subtrans (1) <= inode->last_log_commit (1) &&
inode->last_subtrans (1) <= root->last_log_commit (1) &&
list inode->extent_tree.modified_extents is empty
And as a consequence we return without logging the inode, so the
existing logged version of the inode does not point to the extent
that was written after the previous fsync.
It should be impossible in practice for one task be able to do so much
progress in btrfs_sync_log() while another task is at
btrfs_set_inode_last_trans() right after it reads root->log_transid and
before it reads root->last_log_commit. Even if kernel preemption is enabled
we know the task at btrfs_set_inode_last_trans() can not be preempted
because it is holding the inode's spinlock.
However there is another place where we do the same without holding the
spinlock, which is in the memory mapped write path at:
vm_fault_t btrfs_page_mkwrite(struct vm_fault *vmf)
{
(...)
BTRFS_I(inode)->last_trans = fs_info->generation;
BTRFS_I(inode)->last_sub_trans = BTRFS_I(inode)->root->log_transid;
BTRFS_I(inode)->last_log_commit = BTRFS_I(inode)->root->last_log_commit;
(...)
So with preemption happening after setting ->last_sub_trans and before
setting ->last_log_commit, it is less of a stretch to have another task
do enough progress at btrfs_sync_log() such that the task doing the memory
mapped write ends up with ->last_sub_trans and ->last_log_commit set to
the same value. It is still a big stretch to get there, as the task doing
btrfs_sync_log() has to start writeback, wait for its completion and write
the super blocks.
So fix this in two different ways:
1) For btrfs_set_inode_last_trans(), simply set ->last_log_commit to the
value of ->last_sub_trans minus 1;
2) For btrfs_page_mkwrite() only set the inode's ->last_sub_trans, just
like we do for buffered and direct writes at btrfs_file_write_iter(),
which is all we need to make sure multiple writes and fsyncs to an
inode in the same transaction never result in an fsync missing that
the inode changed and needs to be logged. Turn this into a helper
function and use it both at btrfs_page_mkwrite() and at
btrfs_file_write_iter() - this also fixes the problem that at
btrfs_page_mkwrite() we were setting those fields without the
protection of the inode's spinlock.
This is an extremely unlikely race to happen in practice.

We need to be able to exclude page_mkwrite from happening concurrently
with certain operations. To facilitate this, add a i_mmap_lock to our
inode, down_read() it in our mkwrite, and add a new ILOCK flag to
indicate that we want to take the i_mmap_lock as well. I used pahole to
check the size of the btrfs_inode, the sizes are as follows
no lockdep:
before: 1120 (3 per 4k page)
after: 1160 (3 per 4k page)
lockdep:
before: 2072 (1 per 4k page)
after: 2224 (1 per 4k page)
We're slightly larger but it doesn't change how many objects we can fit
per page.

When cloning an inline extent there are cases where we can not just copy
the inline extent from the source range to the target range (e.g. when the
target range starts at an offset greater than zero). In such cases we copy
the inline extent's data into a page of the destination inode and then
dirty that page. However, after that we will need to start a transaction
for each processed extent and, if we are ever low on available metadata
space, we may need to flush existing delalloc for all dirty inodes in an
attempt to release metadata space - if that happens we may deadlock:
* the async reclaim task queued a delalloc work to flush delalloc for
the destination inode of the clone operation;
* the task executing that delalloc work gets blocked waiting for the
range with the dirty page to be unlocked, which is currently locked
by the task doing the clone operation;
* the async reclaim task blocks waiting for the delalloc work to complete;
* the cloning task is waiting on the waitqueue of its reservation ticket
while holding the range with the dirty page locked in the inode's
io_tree;
* if metadata space is not released by some other task (like delalloc for
some other inode completing for example), the clone task waits forever
and as a consequence the delalloc work and async reclaim tasks will hang
forever as well. Releasing more space on the other hand may require
starting a transaction, which will hang as well when trying to reserve
metadata space, resulting in a deadlock between all these tasks.
When this happens, traces like the following show up in dmesg/syslog:

< stack traces of more tasks blocked on metadata reservation like the clone
task above, because the async reclaim task has deadlocked >
(...)
Another thing to notice is that the worker task that is deadlocked when
trying to flush the destination inode of the clone operation is at
btrfs_invalidatepage(). This is simply because the clone operation has a
destination offset greater than the i_size and we only update the i_size
of the destination file after cloning an extent (just like we do in the
buffered write path).
Since the async reclaim path uses btrfs_start_delalloc_roots() to trigger
the flushing of delalloc for all inodes that have delalloc, add a runtime
flag to an inode to signal it should not be flushed, and for inodes with
that flag set, start_delalloc_inodes() will simply skip them. When the
cloning code needs to dirty a page to copy an inline extent, set that flag
on the inode and then clear it when the clone operation finishes.
This could be sporadically triggered with test case generic/269 from
fstests, which exercises many fsstress processes running in parallel with
several dd processes filling up the entire filesystem.

Every time we log an inode we lookup in the fs/subvol tree for xattrs and
if we have any, log them into the log tree. However it is very common to
have inodes without any xattrs, so doing the search wastes times, but more
importantly it adds contention on the fs/subvol tree locks, either making
the logging code block and wait for tree locks or making the logging code
making other concurrent operations block and wait.
The most typical use cases where xattrs are used are when capabilities or
ACLs are defined for an inode, or when SELinux is enabled.
This change makes the logging code detect when an inode does not have
xattrs and skip the xattrs search the next time the inode is logged,
unless the inode is evicted and loaded again or a xattr is added to the
inode. Therefore skipping the search for xattrs on inodes that don't ever
have xattrs and are fsynced with some frequency.

There are several occasions where we do not update the inode's number of
used bytes atomically, resulting in a concurrent stat(2) syscall to report
a value of used blocks that does not correspond to a valid value, that is,
a value that does not match neither what we had before the operation nor
what we get after the operation completes.
In extreme cases it can result in stat(2) reporting zero used blocks, which
can cause problems for some userspace tools where they can consider a file
with a non-zero size and zero used blocks as completely sparse and skip
reading data, as reported/discussed a long time ago in some threads like
the following:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2016-07/msg00001.html
The cases where this can happen are the following:
-> Case 1
If we do a write (buffered or direct IO) against a file region for which
there is already an allocated extent (or multiple extents), then we have a
short time window where we can report a number of used blocks to stat(2)
that does not take into account the file region being overwritten. This
short time window happens when completing the ordered extent(s).
This happens because when we drop the extents in the write range we
decrement the inode's number of bytes and later on when we insert the new
extent(s) we increment the number of bytes in the inode, resulting in a
short time window where a stat(2) syscall can get an incorrect number of
used blocks.
If we do writes that overwrite an entire file, then we have a short time
window where we report 0 used blocks to stat(2).

#!/bin/bash
MNT=/mnt/sdi
DEV=/dev/sdi

-> Case 2
If we do a buffered write against a file region that does not have any
allocated extents, like a hole or beyond EOF, then during ordered extent
completion we have a short time window where a concurrent stat(2) syscall
can report a number of used blocks that does not correspond to the value
before or after the write operation, a value that is actually larger than
the value after the write completes.
This happens because once we start a buffered write into an unallocated
file range we increment the inode's 'new_delalloc_bytes', to make sure
any stat(2) call gets a correct used blocks value before delalloc is
flushed and completes. However at ordered extent completion, after we
inserted the new extent, we increment the inode's number of bytes used
with the size of the new extent, and only later, when clearing the range
in the inode's iotree, we decrement the inode's 'new_delalloc_bytes'
counter with the size of the extent. So this results in a short time
window where a concurrent stat(2) syscall can report a number of used
blocks that accounts for the new extent twice.

Note that since this is a short time window where the race can happen, the
reproducer may not be able to always trigger the bug in one run, or it may
trigger it multiple times.
-> Case 3
Another case where such problems happen is during other operations that
replace extents in a file range with other extents. Those operations are
extent cloning, deduplication and fallocate's zero range operation.
The cause of the problem is similar to the first case. When we drop the
extents from a range, we decrement the inode's number of bytes, and later
on, after inserting the new extents we increment it. Since this is not
done atomically, a concurrent stat(2) call can see and return a number of
used blocks that is smaller than it should be, does not match the number
of used blocks before or after the clone/deduplication/zero operation.
Like for the first case, when doing a clone, deduplication or zero range
operation against an entire file, we end up having a time window where we
can report 0 used blocks to a stat(2) call.
Example reproducer:
$ cat reproducer-3.sh
#!/bin/bash
MNT=/mnt/sdi
DEV=/dev/sdi
mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV > /dev/null
# mkfs.xfs -f -m reflink=1 $DEV > /dev/null
mount $DEV $MNT
extent_size=$((64 * 1024))
num_extents=16384
file_size=$(($extent_size * $num_extents))
# File foo has many small extents.
xfs_io -f -s -c "pwrite -S 0xab -b $extent_size 0 $file_size" $MNT/foo \
> /dev/null
# File bar has much less extents and has exactly the same data as foo.
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xab 0 $file_size" $MNT/bar > /dev/null
expected=$(stat -c %b $MNT/foo)
# Now deduplicate bar into foo. While the deduplication is in progres,
# the number of used blocks/file size reported by stat should not change
xfs_io -c "dedupe $MNT/bar 0 0 $file_size" $MNT/foo > /dev/null &
dedupe_pid=$!
while [ -n "$(ps -p $dedupe_pid -o pid=)" ]; do
used=$(stat -c %b $MNT/foo)
if [ $used -ne $expected ]; then
echo "Unexpected blocks used: $used (expected: $expected)"
fi
done
umount $DEV
$ ./reproducer-3.sh

Unexpected blocks used: 2097024 (expected: 2097152)

(...)
Note that since this is a short time window where the race can happen, the
reproducer may not be able to always trigger the bug in one run, or it may
trigger it multiple times.
So fix this by:
1) Making btrfs_drop_extents() not decrement the VFS inode's number of
bytes, and instead return the number of bytes;
2) Making any code that drops extents and adds new extents update the
inode's number of bytes atomically, while holding the btrfs inode's
spinlock, which is also used by the stat(2) callback to get the inode's
number of bytes;
3) For ranges in the inode's iotree that are marked as 'delalloc new',
corresponding to previously unallocated ranges, increment the inode's
number of bytes when clearing the 'delalloc new' bit from the range,
in the same critical section that decrements the inode's
'new_delalloc_bytes' counter, delimited by the btrfs inode's spinlock.
An alternative would be to have btrfs_getattr() wait for any IO (ordered
extents in progress) and locking the whole range (0 to (u64)-1) while it
it computes the number of blocks used. But that would mean blocking
stat(2), which is a very used syscall and expected to be fast, waiting
for writes, clone/dedupe, fallocate, page reads, fiemap, etc.

Currently regardless of a full or a fast fsync we always wait for ordered
extents to complete, and then start logging the inode after that. However
for fast fsyncs we can just wait for the writeback to complete, we don't
need to wait for the ordered extents to complete since we use the list of
modified extents maps to figure out which extents we must log and we can
get their checksums directly from the ordered extents that are still in
flight, otherwise look them up from the checksums tree.
Until commit b5e6c3e170 ("btrfs: always wait on ordered extents at
fsync time"), for fast fsyncs, we used to start logging without even
waiting for the writeback to complete first, we would wait for it to
complete after logging, while holding a transaction open, which lead to
performance issues when using cgroups and probably for other cases too,
as wait for IO while holding a transaction handle should be avoided as
much as possible. After that, for fast fsyncs, we started to wait for
ordered extents to complete before starting to log, which adds some
latency to fsyncs and we even got at least one report about a performance
drop which bisected to that particular change:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/20181109215148.GF23260@techsingularity.net/
This change makes fast fsyncs only wait for writeback to finish before
starting to log the inode, instead of waiting for both the writeback to
finish and for the ordered extents to complete. This brings back part of
the logic we had that extracts checksums from in flight ordered extents,
which are not yet in the checksums tree, and making sure transaction
commits wait for the completion of ordered extents previously logged
(by far most of the time they have already completed by the time a
transaction commit starts, resulting in no wait at all), to avoid any
data loss if an ordered extent completes after the transaction used to
log an inode is committed, followed by a power failure.
When there are no other tasks accessing the checksums and the subvolume
btrees, the ordered extent completion is pretty fast, typically taking
100 to 200 microseconds only in my observations. However when there are
other tasks accessing these btrees, ordered extent completion can take a
lot more time due to lock contention on nodes and leaves of these btrees.
I've seen cases over 2 milliseconds, which starts to be significant. In
particular when we do have concurrent fsyncs against different files there
is a lot of contention on the checksums btree, since we have many tasks
writing the checksums into the btree and other tasks that already started
the logging phase are doing lookups for checksums in the btree.
This change also turns all ranged fsyncs into full ranged fsyncs, which
is something we already did when not using the NO_HOLES features or when
doing a full fsync. This is to guarantee we never miss checksums due to
writeback having been triggered only for a part of an extent, and we end
up logging the full extent but only checksums for the written range, which
results in missing checksums after log replay. Allowing ranged fsyncs to
operate again only in the original range, when using the NO_HOLES feature
and doing a fast fsync is doable but requires some non trivial changes to
the writeback path, which can always be worked on later if needed, but I
don't think they are a very common use case.
Several tests were performed using fio for different numbers of concurrent
jobs, each writing and fsyncing its own file, for both sequential and
random file writes. The tests were run on bare metal, no virtualization,
on a box with 12 cores (Intel i7-8700), 64Gb of RAM and a NVMe device,
with a kernel configuration that is the default of typical distributions
(debian in this case), without debug options enabled (kasan, kmemleak,
slub debug, debug of page allocations, lock debugging, etc).
The following script that calls fio was used:
$ cat test-fsync.sh
#!/bin/bash

MNT=/mnt/btrfs
MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o ssd -o space_cache=v2"

The possibility of extents being shared (through clone and deduplication
operations) requires special care when logging data checksums, to avoid
having a log tree with different checksum items that cover ranges which
overlap (which resulted in missing checksums after replaying a log tree).
Such problems were fixed in the past by the following commits:
commit 40e046acbd ("Btrfs: fix missing data checksums after replaying a
log tree")
commit e289f03ea7 ("btrfs: fix corrupt log due to concurrent fsync of
inodes with shared extents")
Test case generic/588 exercises the scenario solved by the first commit
(purely sequential and deterministic) while test case generic/457 often
triggered the case fixed by the second commit (not deterministic, requires
specific timings under concurrency).
The problems were addressed by deleting, from the log tree, any existing
checksums before logging the new ones. And also by doing the deletion and
logging of the cheksums while locking the checksum range in an extent io
tree (root->log_csum_range), to deal with the case where we have concurrent
fsyncs against files with shared extents.
That however causes more contention on the leaves of a log tree where we
store checksums (and all the nodes in the paths leading to them), even
when we do not have shared extents, or all the shared extents were created
by past transactions. It also adds a bit of contention on the spin lock of
the log_csums_range extent io tree of the log root.
This change adds a 'last_reflink_trans' field to the inode to keep track
of the last transaction where a new extent was shared between inodes
(through clone and deduplication operations). It is updated for both the
source and destination inodes of reflink operations whenever a new extent
(created in the current transaction) becomes shared by the inodes. This
field is kept in memory only, not persisted in the inode item, similar
to other existing fields (last_unlink_trans, logged_trans).
When logging checksums for an extent, if the value of 'last_reflink_trans'
is smaller then the current transaction's generation/id, we skip locking
the extent range and deletion of checksums from the log tree, since we
know we do not have new shared extents. This reduces contention on the
log tree's leaves where checksums are stored.
The following script, which uses fio, was used to measure the impact of
this change:
$ cat test-fsync.sh
#!/bin/bash
DEV=/dev/sdk
MNT=/mnt/sdk
MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o ssd"
MKFS_OPTIONS="-d single -m single"

The tests were performed for different numbers of jobs, file sizes and
fsync frequency. A qemu VM using kvm was used, with 8 cores (the host has
12 cores, with cpu governance set to performance mode on all cores), 16GiB
of ram (the host has 64GiB) and using a NVMe device directly (without an
intermediary filesystem in the host). While running the tests, the host
was not used for anything else, to avoid disturbing the tests.
The obtained results were the following (the last line of fio's output was
pasted). Starting with 16 jobs is where a significant difference is
observable in this particular setup and hardware (differences highlighted
below). The very small differences for tests with less than 16 jobs are
possibly just noise and random.

In the worst case, there are _4_ layers of bios in the Btrfs direct I/O
path:
1. The bio created by the generic direct I/O code (dio_bio).
2. A clone of dio_bio we create in btrfs_submit_direct() to represent
the entire direct I/O range (orig_bio).
3. A partial clone of orig_bio limited to the size of a RAID stripe that
we create in btrfs_submit_direct_hook().
4. Clones of each of those split bios for each RAID stripe that we
create in btrfs_map_bio().
As of the previous commit, the second layer (orig_bio) is no longer
needed for anything: we can split dio_bio instead, and complete dio_bio
directly when all of the cloned bios complete. This lets us clean up a
bunch of cruft, including dip->subio_endio and dip->errors (we can use
dio_bio->bi_status instead). It also enables the next big cleanup of
direct I/O read repair.

The next commit will get rid of btrfs_dio_private->orig_bio. The only
thing we really need it for is containing all of the checksums, but we
can easily put the checksum array in btrfs_dio_private and have the
submitted bios reference the array. We can also look the checksums up
while we're setting up instead of the current awkward logic that looks
them up for orig_bio when the first split bio is submitted.
(Interestingly, btrfs_dio_private did contain the
checksums before commit 23ea8e5a07 ("Btrfs: load checksum data once
when submitting a direct read io"), but it didn't look them up up
front.)

The inode delalloc mutex was added a long time ago by commit f248679e86
("Btrfs: add a delalloc mutex to inodes for delalloc reservations"), and
the reason for its introduction is not very clear from the change log. It
claims it solves bogus warnings from lockdep, however it lacks an example
report/warning from lockdep, or any explanation.
Since we have enough concurrentcy protection from the locks of the space
info and block reserve objects, and such lockdep warnings don't seem to
exist anymore (at least on a 5.3 kernel I couldn't get them with fstests,
ltp, fs_mark, etc), remove it, simplifying things a bit and decreasing
the size of the btrfs_inode structure. With some quick fio tests doing
direct IO and mmap writes I couldn't observe any significant performance
increase either (direct IO writes that don't increase the file's size
don't hold the inode's lock for their entire duration and mmap writes
don't hold the inode's lock at all), which are the only type of writes
that could see any performance gain due to less serialization.
Review feedback from Josef:
The problem was taking the i_mutex in mmap, which is how I was
protecting delalloc reservations originally. The delalloc mutex didn't
come with all of the other dependencies. That's what the lockdep
messages were about, removing the lock isn't going to make them appear
again.
We _had_ to lock around this because we used to do tricks to keep from
over-reserving, and if we didn't serialize delalloc reservations we'd
end up with ugly accounting problems when we tried to clean things up.
However with my recentish changes this isn't the case anymore. Every
operation is responsible for reserving its space, and then adding it to
the inode. Then cleaning up is straightforward and can't be mucked up
by other users. So we no longer need the delalloc mutex to safe us from
ourselves.

Commit 41bd606769 ("Btrfs: fix fsync of files with multiple hard links
in new directories") introduced a path that makes fsync fallback to a full
transaction commit in order to avoid losing hard links and new ancestors
of the fsynced inode. That path is triggered only when the inode has more
than one hard link and either has a new hard link created in the current
transaction or the inode was evicted and reloaded in the current
transaction.
That path ends up getting triggered very often (hundreds of times) during
the course of pgbench benchmarks, resulting in performance drops of about
20%.
This change restores the performance by not triggering the full transaction
commit in those cases, and instead iterate the fs/subvolume tree in search
of all possible new ancestors, for all hard links, to log them.

The log tree has a long standing problem that when a file is fsync'ed we
only check for new ancestors, created in the current transaction, by
following only the hard link for which the fsync was issued. We follow the
ancestors using the VFS' dget_parent() API. This means that if we create a
new link for a file in a directory that is new (or in an any other new
ancestor directory) and then fsync the file using an old hard link, we end
up not logging the new ancestor, and on log replay that new hard link and
ancestor do not exist. In some cases, involving renames, the file will not
exist at all.
Example:
mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb
mount /dev/sdb /mnt
mkdir /mnt/A
touch /mnt/foo
ln /mnt/foo /mnt/A/bar
xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/foo
<power failure>
In this example after log replay only the hard link named 'foo' exists
and directory A does not exist, which is unexpected. In other major linux
filesystems, such as ext4, xfs and f2fs for example, both hard links exist
and so does directory A after mounting again the filesystem.
Checking if any new ancestors are new and need to be logged was added in
2009 by commit 12fcfd22fe ("Btrfs: tree logging unlink/rename fixes"),
however only for the ancestors of the hard link (dentry) for which the
fsync was issued, instead of checking for all ancestors for all of the
inode's hard links.
So fix this by tracking the id of the last transaction where a hard link
was created for an inode and then on fsync fallback to a full transaction
commit when an inode has more than one hard link and at least one new hard
link was created in the current transaction. This is the simplest solution
since this is not a common use case (adding frequently hard links for
which there's an ancestor created in the current transaction and then
fsync the file). In case it ever becomes a common use case, a solution
that consists of iterating the fs/subvol btree for each hard link and
check if any ancestor is new, could be implemented.
This solves many unexpected scenarios reported by Jayashree Mohan and
Vijay Chidambaram, and for which there is a new test case for fstests
under review.

Snapshot is expected to be fast. But if there are writers steadily
creating dirty pages in our subvolume, the snapshot may take a very long
time to complete. To fix the problem, we use tagged writepage for
snapshot flusher as we do in the generic write_cache_pages(), so we can
omit pages dirtied after the snapshot command.
This does not change the semantics regarding which data get to the
snapshot, if there are pages being dirtied during the snapshotting
operation. There's a sync called before snapshot is taken in old/new
case, any IO in flight just after that may be in the snapshot but this
depends on other system effects that might still sync the IO.
We do a simple snapshot speed test on a Intel D-1531 box:
fio --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=32 --bs=4k --rw=write --size=64G
--direct=0 --thread=1 --numjobs=1 --time_based --runtime=120
--filename=/mnt/sub/testfile --name=job1 --group_reporting & sleep 5;
time btrfs sub snap -r /mnt/sub /mnt/snap; killall fio
original: 1m58sec
patched: 6.54sec
This is the best case for this patch since for a sequential write case,
we omit nearly all pages dirtied after the snapshot command.
For a multi writers, random write test:
fio --ioengine=libaio --iodepth=32 --bs=4k --rw=randwrite --size=64G
--direct=0 --thread=1 --numjobs=4 --time_based --runtime=120
--filename=/mnt/sub/testfile --name=job1 --group_reporting & sleep 5;
time btrfs sub snap -r /mnt/sub /mnt/snap; killall fio
original: 15.83sec
patched: 10.35sec
The improvement is smaller compared to the sequential write case,
since we omit only half of the pages dirtied after snapshot command.

Now that we don't keep long-standing reservations for orphan items,
root->orphan_block_rsv isn't used. We can git rid of it, along with:
- root->orphan_lock, which was used to protect root->orphan_block_rsv
- root->orphan_inodes, which was used as a refcount for root->orphan_block_rsv
- BTRFS_INODE_ORPHAN_META_RESERVED, which was used to track reservations
in root->orphan_block_rsv
- btrfs_orphan_commit_root(), which was the last user of any of these
and does nothing else

The current implementation of btrfs_page_exists_in_range() gives the
wrong answer if the workingset code has stored a shadow entry in the
page cache. The filemap_range_has_page() function does not have this
problem, and it's shared code, so use it instead.

delayed_iput_count wa supposed to be used to implement, well, delayed
iput. The idea is that we keep accumulating the number of iputs we do
until eventually the inode is deleted. Turns out we never really
switched the delayed_iput_count from 0 to 1, hence all conditional
code relying on the value of that member being different than 0 was
never executed. This, as it turns out, didn't cause any problem due
to the simple fact that the generic inode's i_count member was always
used to count the number of iputs. So let's just remove the unused
member and all unused code. This patch essentially provides no
functional changes. While at it, also add proper documentation for
btrfs_add_delayed_iput

The way we handle delalloc metadata reservations has gotten
progressively more complicated over the years. There is so much cruft
and weirdness around keeping the reserved count and outstanding counters
consistent and handling the error cases that it's impossible to
understand.
Fix this by making the delalloc block rsv per-inode. This way we can
calculate the actual size of the outstanding metadata reservations every
time we make a change, and then reserve the delta based on that amount.
This greatly simplifies the code everywhere, and makes the error
handling in btrfs_delalloc_reserve_metadata far less terrifying.

Right now we do a lot of weird hoops around outstanding_extents in order
to keep the extent count consistent. This is because we logically
transfer the outstanding_extent count from the initial reservation
through the set_delalloc_bits. This makes it pretty difficult to get a
handle on how and when we need to mess with outstanding_extents.
Fix this by revamping the rules of how we deal with outstanding_extents.
Now instead everybody that is holding on to a delalloc extent is
required to increase the outstanding extents count for itself. This
means we'll have something like this
btrfs_delalloc_reserve_metadata - outstanding_extents = 1
btrfs_set_extent_delalloc - outstanding_extents = 2
btrfs_release_delalloc_extents - outstanding_extents = 1
for an initial file write. Now take the append write where we extend an
existing delalloc range but still under the maximum extent size
btrfs_delalloc_reserve_metadata - outstanding_extents = 2
btrfs_set_extent_delalloc
btrfs_set_bit_hook - outstanding_extents = 3
btrfs_merge_extent_hook - outstanding_extents = 2
btrfs_delalloc_release_extents - outstanding_extnets = 1
In order to make the ordered extent transition we of course must now
make ordered extents carry their own outstanding_extent reservation, so
for cow_file_range we end up with
btrfs_add_ordered_extent - outstanding_extents = 2
clear_extent_bit - outstanding_extents = 1
btrfs_remove_ordered_extent - outstanding_extents = 0
This makes all manipulations of outstanding_extents much more explicit.
Every successful call to btrfs_delalloc_reserve_metadata _must_ now be
combined with btrfs_release_delalloc_extents, even in the error case, as
that is the only function that actually modifies the
outstanding_extents counter.
The drawback to this is now we are much more likely to have transient
cases where outstanding_extents is much larger than it actually should
be. This could happen before as we manipulated the delalloc bits, but
now it happens basically at every write. This may put more pressure on
the ENOSPC flushing code, but I think making this code simpler is worth
the cost. I have another change coming to mitigate this side-effect
somewhat.
I also added trace points for the counter manipulation. These were used
by a bpf script I wrote to help track down leak issues.

Add new value for compression to distinguish between defrag and
property. Previously, a single variable was used and this caused clashes
when the per-file 'compression' was set and a defrag -c was called.
The property-compression is loaded when the file is open, defrag will
overwrite the same variable and reset to 0 (ie. NONE) at when the file
defragmentaion is finished. That's considered a usability bug.
Now we won't touch the property value, use the defrag-compression. The
precedence of defrag is higher than for property (and whole-filesystem).

This is preparatory for separating inode compression requested by defrag
and set via properties. This will fix a usability bug when defrag will
reset compression type to NONE. If the file has compression set via
property, it will not apply anymore (until next mount or reset through
command line).
We're going to fix that by adding another variable just for the defrag
call and won't touch the property. The defrag will have higher priority
when deciding whether to compress the data.

Currently when there are buffered writes that were not yet flushed and
they fall within allocated ranges of the file (that is, not in holes or
beyond eof assuming there are no prealloc extents beyond eof), btrfs
simply reports an incorrect number of used blocks through the stat(2)
system call (or any of its variants), regardless of mount options or
inode flags (compress, compress-force, nodatacow). This is because the
number of blocks used that is reported is based on the current number
of bytes in the vfs inode plus the number of dealloc bytes in the btrfs
inode. The later covers bytes that both fall within allocated regions
of the file and holes.
Example scenarios where the number of reported blocks is wrong while the
buffered writes are not flushed:
$ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdc
$ mount /dev/sdc /mnt/sdc
$ xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xaa 0 64K" /mnt/sdc/foo1
wrote 65536/65536 bytes at offset 0
64 KiB, 16 ops; 0.0000 sec (259.336 MiB/sec and 66390.0415 ops/sec)
$ sync
$ xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xbb 0 64K" /mnt/sdc/foo1
wrote 65536/65536 bytes at offset 0
64 KiB, 16 ops; 0.0000 sec (192.308 MiB/sec and 49230.7692 ops/sec)
# The following should have reported 64K...
$ du -h /mnt/sdc/foo1
128K /mnt/sdc/foo1
$ sync
# After flushing the buffered write, it now reports the correct value.
$ du -h /mnt/sdc/foo1
64K /mnt/sdc/foo1
$ xfs_io -f -c "falloc -k 0 128K" -c "pwrite -S 0xaa 0 64K" /mnt/sdc/foo2
wrote 65536/65536 bytes at offset 0
64 KiB, 16 ops; 0.0000 sec (520.833 MiB/sec and 133333.3333 ops/sec)
$ sync
$ xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xbb 64K 64K" /mnt/sdc/foo2
wrote 65536/65536 bytes at offset 65536
64 KiB, 16 ops; 0.0000 sec (260.417 MiB/sec and 66666.6667 ops/sec)
# The following should have reported 128K...
$ du -h /mnt/sdc/foo2
192K /mnt/sdc/foo2
$ sync
# After flushing the buffered write, it now reports the correct value.
$ du -h /mnt/sdc/foo2

So the number of used file blocks is simply incorrect, unlike in other
filesystems such as ext4 and xfs for example, but only while the buffered
writes are not flushed.
Fix this by tracking the number of delalloc bytes that fall within holes
and beyond eof of a file, and use instead this new counter when reporting
the number of used blocks for an inode.
Another different problem that exists is that the delalloc bytes counter
is reset when writeback starts (by clearing the EXTENT_DEALLOC flag from
the respective range in the inode's iotree) and the vfs inode's bytes
counter is only incremented when writeback finishes (through
insert_reserved_file_extent()). Therefore while writeback is ongoing we
simply report a wrong number of blocks used by an inode if the write
operation covers a range previously unallocated. While this change does
not fix this problem, it does minimizes it a lot by shortening that time
window, as the new dealloc bytes counter (new_delalloc_bytes) is only
decremented when writeback finishes right before updating the vfs inode's
bytes counter. Fully fixing this second problem is not trivial and will
be addressed later by a different patch.
