When btrfs_get_extent() tries to get some file extent from disk, it
never populates extent_map::generation, leaving the value to be 0.
On the other hand, for extent map generated by IO, it will get its
generation properly set at finish_ordered_io()
finish_ordered_io()
|- unpin_extent_cache(gen = trans->transid)
|- em->generation = gen;
[CAUSE]
Since extent_map::generation is mostly used by fsync code, and for fsync
they only care about modified extents, which all have their
em::generation > 0.
Thus it's fine to not populate em read from disk for fsync.
[CORNER CASE]
However autodefrag also relies on em::generation to determine if one
extent needs to be defragged.
This unpopulated extent_map::generation can prevent the following
autodefrag case from working:
mkfs.btrfs -f $dev
mount $dev $mnt -o autodefrag
# initial write to queue the inode for autodefrag
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite 0 4k" $mnt/file
sync
# Real fragmented write
xfs_io -f -s -c "pwrite -b 4096 0 32k" $mnt/file
sync
echo "=== before autodefrag ==="
xfs_io -c "fiemap -v" $mnt/file
# Drop cache to force em to be read from disk
echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
mount -o remount,commit=1 $mnt
sleep 3
sync
echo "=== After autodefrag ==="
xfs_io -c "fiemap -v" $mnt/file
umount $mnt
The result looks like this:
=== before autodefrag ===
/mnt/btrfs/file:
EXT: FILE-OFFSET BLOCK-RANGE TOTAL FLAGS
0: [0..15]: 26672..26687 16 0x0
1: [16..31]: 26656..26671 16 0x0
2: [32..47]: 26640..26655 16 0x0
3: [48..63]: 26624..26639 16 0x1
=== After autodefrag ===
/mnt/btrfs/file:
EXT: FILE-OFFSET BLOCK-RANGE TOTAL FLAGS
0: [0..15]: 26672..26687 16 0x0
1: [16..31]: 26656..26671 16 0x0
2: [32..47]: 26640..26655 16 0x0
3: [48..63]: 26624..26639 16 0x1
This fragmented 32K will not be defragged by autodefrag.
[FIX]
To make things less weird, just populate extent_map::generation when
reading file extents from disk.
This would make above fragmented extents to be properly defragged:
== before autodefrag ===
/mnt/btrfs/file:
EXT: FILE-OFFSET BLOCK-RANGE TOTAL FLAGS
0: [0..15]: 26672..26687 16 0x0
1: [16..31]: 26656..26671 16 0x0
2: [32..47]: 26640..26655 16 0x0
3: [48..63]: 26624..26639 16 0x1
=== After autodefrag ===
/mnt/btrfs/file:
EXT: FILE-OFFSET BLOCK-RANGE TOTAL FLAGS
0: [0..63]: 26688..26751 64 0x1

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
