Tree manipulating operations like merging nodes often release
once-allocated tree nodes. Such nodes are cleaned so that pages in the
node are not uselessly written out. On zoned volumes, however, such
optimization blocks the following IOs as the cancellation of the write
out of the freed blocks breaks the sequential write sequence expected by
the device.
Introduce a list of clean and unwritten extent buffers that have been
released in a transaction. Redirty the buffers so that
btree_write_cache_pages() can send proper bios to the devices.
Besides it clears the entire content of the extent buffer not to confuse
raw block scanners e.g. 'btrfs check'. By clearing the content,
csum_dirty_buffer() complains about bytenr mismatch, so avoid the
checking and checksum using newly introduced buffer flag
EXTENT_BUFFER_NO_CHECK.

Often an fsync needs to fallback to a transaction commit for several
reasons (to ensure consistency after a power failure, a new block group
was allocated or a temporary error such as ENOMEM or ENOSPC happened).
In that case the log is marked as needing a full commit and any concurrent
tasks attempting to log inodes or commit the log will also fallback to the
transaction commit. When this happens they all wait for the task that first
started the transaction commit to finish the transaction commit - however
they wait until the full transaction commit happens, which is not needed,
as they only need to wait for the superblocks to be persisted and not for
unpinning all the extents pinned during the transaction's lifetime, which
even for short lived transactions can be a few thousand and take some
significant amount of time to complete - for dbench workloads I have
observed up to 4~5 milliseconds of time spent unpinning extents in the
worst cases, and the number of pinned extents was between 2 to 3 thousand.
So allow fsync tasks to skip waiting for the unpinning of extents when
they call btrfs_commit_transaction() and they were not the task that
started the transaction commit (that one has to do it, the alternative
would be to offload the transaction commit to another task so that it
could avoid waiting for the extent unpinning or offload the extent
unpinning to another task).
This patch is part of a patchset comprised of the following patches:
btrfs: remove unnecessary directory inode item update when deleting dir entry
btrfs: stop setting nbytes when filling inode item for logging
btrfs: avoid logging new ancestor inodes when logging new inode
btrfs: skip logging directories already logged when logging all parents
btrfs: skip logging inodes already logged when logging new entries
btrfs: remove unnecessary check_parent_dirs_for_sync()
btrfs: make concurrent fsyncs wait less when waiting for a transaction commit
After applying the entire patchset, dbench shows improvements in respect
to throughput and latency. The script used to measure it is the following:
$ cat dbench-test.sh
#!/bin/bash
DEV=/dev/sdk
MNT=/mnt/sdk
MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o ssd"
MKFS_OPTIONS="-m single -d single"
echo "performance" | tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor

mkfs.btrfs -f $MKFS_OPTIONS $DEV
mount $MOUNT_OPTIONS $DEV $MNT
dbench -D $MNT -t 300 64
umount $MNT
The test was run on a physical machine with 12 cores (Intel corei7), 64G
of ram, using a NVMe device and a non-debug kernel configuration (Debian's
default configuration).

iomap dio will run generic_write_sync() for us if the iocb is DSYNC.
This is problematic for us because of 2 reasons:
1. we hold the inode_lock() during this operation, and we take it in
generic_write_sync()
2. we hold a read lock on the dio_sem but take the write lock in fsync
Since we don't want to rip out this code right now, but reworking the
locking is a bit much to do at this point, work around this problem with
this masterpiece of a patch.
First, we clear DSYNC on the iocb so that the iomap stuff doesn't know
that it needs to handle the sync. We save this fact in
current->journal_info, because we need to see do special things once
we're in iomap_begin, and we have no way to pass private information
into iomap_dio_rw().
Next we specify a separate iomap_dio_ops for sync, which implements an
->end_io() callback that gets called when the dio completes. This is
important for AIO, because we really do need to run generic_write_sync()
if we complete asynchronously. However if we're still in the submitting
context when we enter ->end_io() we clear the flag so that the submitter
knows they're the ones that needs to run generic_write_sync().
This is meant to be temporary. We need to work out how to eliminate the
inode_lock() and the dio_sem in our fsync and use another mechanism to
protect these operations.

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
DEV=/dev/nvme0n1
MNT=/mnt/btrfs
MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o ssd -o space_cache=v2"

reduce early EDQUOT") tries to reduce the early EDQUOT problems by
checking the qgroup free against threshold and tries to wake up commit
kthread to free some space.
The problem of that mechanism is, it can only free qgroup per-trans
metadata space, can't do anything to data, nor prealloc qgroup space.
Now since we have the ability to flush qgroup space, and implemented
retry-after-EDQUOT behavior, such mechanism can be completely replaced.
So this patch will cleanup such mechanism in favor of
retry-after-EDQUOT.

[BUG]
When the anonymous block device pool is exhausted, subvolume/snapshot

[CAUSE]
When the global anonymous block device pool is exhausted, the following
call chain will fail, and lead to transaction abort:
btrfs_ioctl_snap_create_v2()
|- btrfs_ioctl_snap_create_transid()
|- btrfs_mksubvol()
|- btrfs_commit_transaction()
|- create_pending_snapshot()
|- btrfs_get_fs_root()
|- btrfs_init_fs_root()
|- get_anon_bdev()
[FIX]
Although we can't enlarge the anonymous block device pool, at least we
can preallocate anon_dev for subvolume/snapshot in the first phase,
outside of transaction context and exactly at the moment the user calls
the creation ioctl.

For unlink transactions and block group removal
btrfs_start_transaction_fallback_global_rsv will first try to start an
ordinary transaction and if it fails it will fall back to reserving the
required amount by stealing from the global reserve. This is problematic
because of all the same reasons we had with previous iterations of the
ENOSPC handling, thundering herd. We get a bunch of failures all at
once, everybody tries to allocate from the global reserve, some win and
some lose, we get an ENSOPC.
Fix this behavior by introducing BTRFS_RESERVE_FLUSH_ALL_STEAL. It's
used to mark unlink reservation. To fix this we need to integrate this
logic into the normal ENOSPC infrastructure. We still go through all of
the normal flushing work, and at the moment we begin to fail all the
tickets we try to satisfy any tickets that are allowed to steal by
stealing from the global reserve. If this works we start the flushing
system over again just like we would with a normal ticket satisfaction.
This serializes our global reserve stealing, so we don't have the
thundering herd problem.

This commit flips the switch to start tracking/processing pinned extents
on a per-transaction basis. It mostly replaces all references from
btrfs_fs_info::(pinned_extents|freed_extents[]) to
btrfs_transaction::pinned_extents.
Two notable modifications that warrant explicit mention are changing
clean_pinned_extents to get a reference to the previously running
transaction. The other one is removal of call to
btrfs_destroy_pinned_extent since transactions are going to be cleaned
in btrfs_cleanup_one_transaction.

This function is used only during the final phase of freespace cache
writeout. This is necessary since using the plain btrfs_join_transaction
api is deadlock prone. The deadlock looks like:
T1:
btrfs_commit_transaction
commit_cowonly_roots
btrfs_write_dirty_block_groups
btrfs_wait_cache_io
__btrfs_wait_cache_io
btrfs_wait_ordered_range <-- Triggers ordered IO for freespace

until freespace cache writeout
T2: <-- after T1 has triggered the writeout
finish_ordered_fn
btrfs_finish_ordered_io
btrfs_join_transaction <--- this would block waiting for current
transaction to commit, but since trans
commit is waiting for this writeout to
finish
The special purpose functions prevents it by simply skipping the "wait

we are done.

The fiemap handler locks a file range that can have unflushed delalloc,
and after locking the range, it tries to attach to a running transaction.
If the running transaction started its commit, that is, it is in state
TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START, and either the filesystem was mounted with the
flushoncommit option or the transaction is creating a snapshot for the
subvolume that contains the file that fiemap is operating on, we end up
deadlocking. This happens because fiemap is blocked on the transaction,
waiting for it to complete, and the transaction is waiting for the flushed
dealloc to complete, which requires locking the file range that the fiemap
task already locked. The following stack traces serve as an example of
when this deadlock happens:

If we were joining the transaction instead of attaching to it, we would
not risk a deadlock because a join only blocks if the transaction is in a
state greater then or equals to TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_DOING, and the delalloc
flush performed by a transaction is done before it reaches that state,
when it is in the state TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START. However a transaction
join is intended for use cases where we do modify the filesystem, and
fiemap only needs to peek at delayed references from the current
transaction in order to determine if extents are shared, and, besides
that, when there is no current transaction or when it blocks to wait for
a current committing transaction to complete, it creates a new transaction
without reserving any space. Such unnecessary transactions, besides doing
unnecessary IO, can cause transaction aborts (-ENOSPC) and unnecessary
rotation of the precious backup roots.
So fix this by adding a new transaction join variant, named join_nostart,
which behaves like the regular join, but it does not create a transaction
when none currently exists or after waiting for a committing transaction
to complete.

The pending chunks list contains chunks that are allocated in the
current transaction but haven't been created yet. The pinned chunks
list contains chunks that are being released in the current transaction.
Both describe chunks that are not reflected on disk as in use but are
unavailable just the same.
The pending chunks list is anchored by the transaction handle, which
means that we need to hold a reference to a transaction when working
with the list.
The way we use them is by iterating over both lists to perform
comparisons on the stripes they describe for each device. This is
backwards and requires that we keep a transaction handle open while
we're trimming.
This patchset adds an extent_io_tree to btrfs_device that maintains
the allocation state of the device. Extents are set dirty when
chunks are first allocated -- when the extent maps are added to the
mapping tree. They're cleared when last removed -- when the extent
maps are removed from the mapping tree. This matches the lifespan
of the pending and pinned chunks list and allows us to do trims
on unallocated space safely without pinning the transaction for what
may be a lengthy operation. We can also use this io tree to mark
which chunks have already been trimmed so we don't repeat the operation.

We currently overload the pending_chunks list to handle updating
btrfs_device->commit_bytes used. We don't actually care about the
extent mapping or even the device mapping for the chunk - we just need
the device, and we can end up processing it multiple times. The
fs_devices->resized_list does more or less the same thing, but with the
disk size. They are called consecutively during commit and have more or
less the same purpose.
We can combine the two lists into a single list that attaches to the
transaction and contains a list of devices that need updating. Since we
always add the device to a list when we change bytes_used or
disk_total_size, there's no harm in copying both values at once.

Since it's an asynchronous function call and we won't wait for

hit the qgroup limit.
So this patch will use the ratio and size of qgroup meta_pertrans
reservation as indicator to check if we should trigger a transaction

say it's safe to assume it's unlikely it will ever be used again.
Historical note: there were more attempts to remove the function, the
reasoning was missing and only based on some static analysis tool

connection to BTRFS_RESERVE_FLUSH_LIMIT and that would need to be

This means that btrfs_write_and_wait_marked_extents needs to take a root
because btrfs_wait_marked_extents requires one, even though it's only
used to determine whether the root is a log root. The log root code
won't ever call into the transaction commit code using a log root, so we
can factor out the core loop and provide the error handling appropriate
to each waiter in new routines. This allows us to eventually remove
the root argument from btrfs_commit_transaction, and as a result,
btrfs_end_transaction.

There are loads of functions in btrfs that accept a root parameter
but only use it to obtain an fs_info pointer. Let's convert those to
just accept an fs_info pointer directly.

For many printks, we want to know which file system issued the message.
This patch converts most pr_* calls to use the btrfs_* versions instead.
In some cases, this means adding plumbing to allow call sites access to
an fs_info pointer.
fs/btrfs/check-integrity.c is left alone for another day.

btrfs_trans_handle->root is documented as for use for confirming
that the root passed in to start the transaction is the same as the
one ending it. It's used in several places when an fs_info pointer
is needed, so let's just add an fs_info pointer directly. Eventually,
the root pointer can be removed.

The test for !trans->blocks_used in btrfs_abort_transaction is
insufficient to determine whether it's safe to drop the transaction
handle on the floor. btrfs_cow_block, informed by should_cow_block,
can return blocks that have already been CoW'd in the current
transaction. trans->blocks_used is only incremented for new block
allocations. If an operation overlaps the blocks in the current
transaction entirely and must abort the transaction, we'll happily
let it clean up the trans handle even though it may have modified
the blocks and will commit an incomplete operation.
In the long-term, I'd like to do closer tracking of when the fs
is actually modified so we can still recover as gracefully as possible,
but that approach will need some discussion. In the short term,
since this is the only code using trans->blocks_used, let's just
switch it to a bool indicating whether any blocks were used and set
it when should_cow_block returns false.

We can also preallocate btrfs_path that's used during pending snapshot
creation and avoid another late ENOMEM failure.
Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
The actual snapshot creation is delayed until transaction commit. If we
cannot get enough memory for the root item there, we have to fail the
whole transaction commit which is bad. So we'll allocate the memory at
the ioctl call and pass it along with the pending_snapshot struct. The
potential ENOMEM will be returned to the caller of snapshot ioctl.

As of my previous change titled "Btrfs: fix scrub preventing unused block
groups from being deleted", the following warning at
extent-tree.c:btrfs_delete_unused_bgs() can be hit when we mount the a
filesysten with "-o discard":
10263 void btrfs_delete_unused_bgs(struct btrfs_fs_info *fs_info)
10264 {
(...)
10405 if (trimming) {
10406 WARN_ON(!list_empty(&block_group->bg_list));
10407 spin_lock(&trans->transaction->deleted_bgs_lock);
10408 list_move(&block_group->bg_list,
10409 &trans->transaction->deleted_bgs);
10410 spin_unlock(&trans->transaction->deleted_bgs_lock);
10411 btrfs_get_block_group(block_group);
10412 }
(...)
This happens because scrub can now add back the block group to the list of
unused block groups (fs_info->unused_bgs). This is dangerous because we
are moving the block group from the unused block groups list to the list
of deleted block groups without holding the lock that protects the source
list (fs_info->unused_bgs_lock).
The following diagram illustrates how this happens:
CPU 1 CPU 2
cleaner_kthread()
btrfs_delete_unused_bgs()
sees bg X in list
fs_info->unused_bgs
deletes bg X from list
fs_info->unused_bgs
scrub_enumerate_chunks()
searches device tree using
its commit root
finds device extent for
block group X
gets block group X from the tree
fs_info->block_group_cache_tree
(via btrfs_lookup_block_group())
sets bg X to RO (again)
scrub_chunk(bg X)
sets bg X back to RW mode
adds bg X to the list
fs_info->unused_bgs again,
since it's still unused and
currently not in that list
sets bg X to RO mode
btrfs_remove_chunk(bg X)
--> discard is enabled and bg X
is in the fs_info->unused_bgs
list again so the warning is
triggered
--> we move it from that list into
the transaction's delete_bgs
list, but we can have another
task currently manipulating
the first list (fs_info->unused_bgs)
Fix this by using the same lock (fs_info->unused_bgs_lock) to protect both
the list of unused block groups and the list of deleted block groups. This
makes it safe and there's not much worry for more lock contention, as this
lock is seldom used and only the cleaner kthread adds elements to the list
of deleted block groups. The warning goes away too, as this was previously
an impossible case (and would have been better a BUG_ON/ASSERT) but it's
not impossible anymore.
Reproduced with fstest btrfs/073 (using MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o discard").

It's possible to reach a state where the cleaner kthread isn't able to
start a transaction to delete an unused block group due to lack of enough
free metadata space and due to lack of unallocated device space to allocate
a new metadata block group as well. If this happens try to use space from
the global block group reserve just like we do for unlink operations, so
that we don't reach a permanent state where starting a transaction for
filesystem operations (file creation, renames, etc) keeps failing with
-ENOSPC. Such an unfortunate state was observed on a machine where over
a dozen unused data block groups existed and the cleaner kthread was
failing to delete them due to ENOSPC error when attempting to start a
transaction, and even running balance with a -dusage=0 filter failed with
ENOSPC as well. Also unmounting and mounting again the filesystem didn't
help. Allowing the cleaner kthread to use the global block reserve to
delete the unused data block groups fixed the problem.
