Currently qgroups account for space by intercepting delayed ref updates to fs
trees. It does this by adding sequence numbers to delayed ref updates so that
it can figure out how the tree looked before the update so we can adjust the
counters properly. The problem with this is that it does not allow delayed refs
to be merged, so if you say are defragging an extent with 5k snapshots pointing
to it we will thrash the delayed ref lock because we need to go back and
manually merge these things together. Instead we want to process quota changes
when we know they are going to happen, like when we first allocate an extent, we
free a reference for an extent, we add new references etc. This patch
accomplishes this by only adding qgroup operations for real ref changes. We
only modify the sequence number when we need to lookup roots for bytenrs, this
reduces the amount of churn on the sequence number and allows us to merge
delayed refs as we add them most of the time. This patch encompasses a bunch of
architectural changes
1) qgroup ref operations: instead of tracking qgroup operations through the
delayed refs we simply add new ref operations whenever we notice that we need to
when we've modified the refs themselves.
2) tree mod seq: we no longer have this separation of major/minor counters.
this makes the sequence number stuff much more sane and we can remove some
locking that was needed to protect the counter.
3) delayed ref seq: we now read the tree mod seq number and use that as our
sequence. This means each new delayed ref doesn't have it's own unique sequence
number, rather whenever we go to lookup backrefs we inc the sequence number so
we can make sure to keep any new operations from screwing up our world view at
that given point. This allows us to merge delayed refs during runtime.
With all of these changes the delayed ref stuff is a little saner and the qgroup
accounting stuff no longer goes negative in some cases like it was before.

While we update an existing ref head's extent_op, we're not holding
its spinlock, so while we're updating its extent_op contents (key,
flags) we can have a task running __btrfs_run_delayed_refs() that
holds the ref head's lock and sets its extent_op to NULL right after
the task updating the ref head just checked its extent_op was not NULL.

When we didn't find the exact ref head we were looking for, if
return_bigger != 0 we set a new search key to match either the
next node after the last one we found or the first one in the
ref heads rb tree, and then did another full tree search. For both
cases this ended up being pointless as we would end up returning
an entry we already had before repeating the search.

Currently we have two rb-trees, one for delayed ref heads and one for all of the
delayed refs, including the delayed ref heads. When we process the delayed refs
we have to hold onto the delayed ref lock for all of the selecting and merging
and such, which results in quite a bit of lock contention. This was solved by
having a waitqueue and only one flusher at a time, however this hurts if we get
a lot of delayed refs queued up.
So instead just have an rb tree for the delayed ref heads, and then attach the
delayed ref updates to an rb tree that is per delayed ref head. Then we only
need to take the delayed ref lock when adding new delayed refs and when
selecting a delayed ref head to process, all the rest of the time we deal with a
per delayed ref head lock which will be much less contentious.
The locking rules for this get a little more complicated since we have to lock
up to 3 things to properly process delayed refs, but I will address that problem
later. For now this passes all of xfstests and my overnight stress tests.

The way how we process delayed refs is
1) get a bunch of head refs,
2) pick up one head ref,
3) go one node back for any delayed ref updates.
The head ref is also linked in the same rbtree as the delayed ref is,
so in 1) stage, we have to walk one by one including not only head refs, but
delayed refs.
When we have a great number of delayed refs pending to process,
this'll cost time a lot.
Here we introduce a head ref specific rbtree, it only has head refs, so troubles
go away.

Sequence numbers for delayed refs have been introduced in the first version
of the qgroup patch set. To solve the problem of find_all_roots on a busy
file system, the tree mod log was introduced. The sequence numbers for that
were simply shared between those two users.
However, at one point in qgroup's quota accounting, there's a statement
accessing the previous sequence number, that's still just doing (seq - 1)
just as it would have to in the very first version.
To satisfy that requirement, this patch makes the sequence number counter 64
bit and splits it into a major part (used for qgroup sequence number
counting) and a minor part (incremented for each tree modification in the
log). This enables us to go exactly one major step backwards, as required
for qgroups, while still incrementing the sequence counter for tree mod log
insertions to keep track of their order. Keeping them in a single variable
means there's no need to change all the code dealing with comparisons of two
sequence numbers.
The sequence number is reset to 0 on commit (not new in this patch), which
ensures we won't overflow the two 32 bit counters.
Without this fix, the qgroup tracking can occasionally go wrong and WARN_ONs
from the tree mod log code may happen.

A user reported a panic while running a balance. What was happening was he was
relocating a block, which added the reference to the relocation tree. Then
relocation would walk through the relocation tree and drop that reference and
free that block, and then it would walk down a snapshot which referenced the
same block and add another ref to the block. The problem is this was all
happening in the same transaction, so the parent block was free'ed up when we
drop our reference which was immediately available for allocation, and then it
was used _again_ to add a reference for the same block from a different
snapshot. This resulted in something like this in the delayed ref tree
add ref to 90234880, parent=2067398656, ref_root 1766, level 1
del ref to 90234880, parent=2067398656, ref_root 18446744073709551608, level 1
add ref to 90234880, parent=2067398656, ref_root 1767, level 1
as you can see the ref_root's don't match, because when we inc the ref we use
the header owner, which is the original tree the block belonged to, instead of
the data reloc tree. Then when we remove the extent we use the reloc tree
objectid. But none of this matters, since it is a shared reference which means
only the parent matters. When the delayed ref stuff runs it adds all the
increments first, and then does all the drops, to make sure that we don't delete
the ref if we net a positive ref count. But tree blocks aren't allowed to have
multiple refs from the same block, so this panics when it tries to add the
second ref. We need the add and the drop to cancel each other out in memory so
we only do the final add.
So to fix this we need to adjust how the delayed refs are added to the tree.
Only the ref_root matters when it is a normal backref, and only the parent
matters when it is a shared backref. So make our decision based on what ref
type we have. This allows us to keep the ref_root in memory in case anybody
wants to use it for something else, and it allows the delayed refs to be merged
properly so we don't end up with this panic.
With this patch the users image no longer panics on mount, and it has a clean
fsck after a normal mount/umount cycle. Thanks,

Daniel Blueman reported a bug with fio+balance on a ramdisk setup.
Basically what happens is the balance relocates a tree block which will drop
the implicit refs for all of its children and adds a full backref. Once the
block is relocated we have to add the implicit refs back, so when we cow the
block again we add the implicit refs for its children back. The problem
comes when the original drop ref doesn't get run before we add the implicit
refs back. The delayed ref stuff will specifically prefer ADD operations
over DROP to keep us from freeing up an extent that will have references to
it, so we try to add the implicit ref before it is actually removed and we
panic. This worked fine before because the add would have just canceled the
drop out and we would have been fine. But the backref walking work needs to
be able to freeze the delayed ref stuff in time so we have this ever
increasing sequence number that gets attached to all new delayed ref updates
which makes us not merge refs and we run into this issue.
So to fix this we need to merge delayed refs. So everytime we run a
clustered ref we need to try and merge all of its delayed refs. The backref
walking stuff locks the delayed ref head before processing, so if we have it
locked we are safe to merge any refs inside of the sequence number. If
there is no sequence number we can merge all refs. Doing this not only
fixes our bug but keeps the delayed ref code from adding and removing
useless refs and batching together multiple refs into one search instead of
one search per delayed ref, which will really help our commit times. I ran
this with Daniels test and 276 and I haven't seen any problems. Thanks,

Commit a168650c introduced a waiting mechanism to prevent busy waiting in
btrfs_run_delayed_refs. This can deadlock with btrfs_run_ordered_operations,
where a tree_mod_seq is held while waiting for the io to complete, while
the end_io calls btrfs_run_delayed_refs.
This whole mechanism is unnecessary. If not enough runnable refs are
available to satisfy count, just return as count is more like a guideline
than a strict requirement.
In case we have to run all refs, commit transaction makes sure that no
other threads are working in the transaction anymore, so we just assert
here that no refs are blocked.

The sequence number for delayed refs is needed to postpone certain delayed

that don't have a counter operation.
While now we've the tree mod log, we're rewinding fs tree blocks to a
defined consistent state. We cannot know in advance for which tree block
we'll be doing rewind operations later. Therefore, we must postpone all the
delayed refs for fs-tree blocks, even those having a counter operation.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.
http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
The script does the followings.
* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used,
gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains
core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
doesn't seem to be any matching order.
* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
file.
The conversion was done in the following steps.
1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400
files.
2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion,
some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added
inclusions to around 150 files.
3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h
inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each
slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
necessary.
6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
* x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
* powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
* sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
* ia64 SMP allmodconfig
* s390 SMP allmodconfig
* alpha SMP allmodconfig
* um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

This commit introduces a new kind of back reference for btrfs metadata.
Once a filesystem has been mounted with this commit, IT WILL NO LONGER
BE MOUNTABLE BY OLDER KERNELS.
When a tree block in subvolume tree is cow'd, the reference counts of all
extents it points to are increased by one. At transaction commit time,
the old root of the subvolume is recorded in a "dead root" data structure,
and the btree it points to is later walked, dropping reference counts
and freeing any blocks where the reference count goes to 0.
The increments done during cow and decrements done after commit cancel out,
and the walk is a very expensive way to go about freeing the blocks that
are no longer referenced by the new btree root. This commit reduces the
transaction overhead by avoiding the need for dead root records.
When a non-shared tree block is cow'd, we free the old block at once, and the
new block inherits old block's references. When a tree block with reference
count > 1 is cow'd, we increase the reference counts of all extents
the new block points to by one, and decrease the old block's reference count by
one.
This dead tree avoidance code removes the need to modify the reference
counts of lower level extents when a non-shared tree block is cow'd.
But we still need to update back ref for all pointers in the block.
This is because the location of the block is recorded in the back ref
item.
We can solve this by introducing a new type of back ref. The new
back ref provides information about pointer's key, level and in which
tree the pointer lives. This information allow us to find the pointer
by searching the tree. The shortcoming of the new back ref is that it
only works for pointers in tree blocks referenced by their owner trees.
This is mostly a problem for snapshots, where resolving one of these
fuzzy back references would be O(number_of_snapshots) and quite slow.
The solution used here is to use the fuzzy back references in the common
case where a given tree block is only referenced by one root,
and use the full back references when multiple roots have a reference
on a given block.
This commit adds per subvolume red-black tree to keep trace of cached
inodes. The red-black tree helps the balancing code to find cached
inodes whose inode numbers within a given range.
This commit improves the balancing code by introducing several data
structures to keep the state of balancing. The most important one
is the back ref cache. It caches how the upper level tree blocks are
referenced. This greatly reduce the overhead of checking back ref.
The improved balancing code scales significantly better with a large
number of snapshots.
This is a very large commit and was written in a number of
pieces. But, they depend heavily on the disk format change and were
squashed together to make sure git bisect didn't end up in a
bad state wrt space balancing or the format change.

btrfs_update_delayed_ref is optimized to add and remove different
references in one pass through the delayed ref tree. It is a zero
sum on the total number of refs on a given extent.
But, the code was recording an extra ref in the head node. This
never made it down to the disk but was used when deciding if it was
safe to free the extent while dropping snapshots.
The fix used here is to make sure the ref_mod count is unchanged
on the head ref when btrfs_update_delayed_ref is called.

The delayed reference queue maintains pending operations that need to
be done to the extent allocation tree. These are processed by
finding records in the tree that are not currently being processed one at
a time.
This is slow because it uses lots of time searching through the rbtree
and because it creates lock contention on the extent allocation tree
when lots of different procs are running delayed refs at the same time.
This commit changes things to grab a cluster of refs for processing,
using a cursor into the rbtree as the starting point of the next search.
This way we walk smoothly through the rbtree.

When extents are freed, it is likely that we've removed the last
delayed reference update for the extent. This checks the delayed
ref tree when things are freed, and if no ref updates area left it
immediately processes the delayed ref.

The extent allocation tree maintains a reference count and full
back reference information for every extent allocated in the
filesystem. For subvolume and snapshot trees, every time
a block goes through COW, the new copy of the block adds a reference
on every block it points to.
If a btree node points to 150 leaves, then the COW code needs to go
and add backrefs on 150 different extents, which might be spread all
over the extent allocation tree.
These updates currently happen during btrfs_cow_block, and most COWs
happen during btrfs_search_slot. btrfs_search_slot has locks held
on both the parent and the node we are COWing, and so we really want
to avoid IO during the COW if we can.
This commit adds an rbtree of pending reference count updates and extent
allocations. The tree is ordered by byte number of the extent and byte number
of the parent for the back reference. The tree allows us to:
1) Modify back references in something close to disk order, reducing seeks
2) Significantly reduce the number of modifications made as block pointers
are balanced around
3) Do all of the extent insertion and back reference modifications outside
of the performance critical btrfs_search_slot code.
#3 has the added benefit of greatly reducing the btrfs stack footprint.
The extent allocation tree modifications are done without the deep
(and somewhat recursive) call chains used in the past.
These delayed back reference updates must be done before the transaction
commits, and so the rbtree is tied to the transaction. Throttling is
implemented to help keep the queue of backrefs at a reasonable size.
Since there was a similar mechanism in place for the extent tree
extents, that is removed and replaced by the delayed reference tree.
