btrfs: raid56: extract the vertical stripe recovery code into recover_vertical()
This refactor includes the following behavior change first:
- Don't error out if only P/Q is corrupted
The old code will directly error out if only P/Q is corrupted.
Although it is an logical error if we go into rebuild path with
only P/Q corrupted, there is no need to error out.
Just skip the rebuild and return the already good data.
Then comes the following refactor which shouldn't cause behavior
changes:
- Introduce a helper to do vertical stripe recovery
This not only reduce one indent level, but also paves the road for
later data checksum verification in RMW cycles.
- Sort rbio->faila/b before recovery
So we don't need to do the same swap every vertical stripe
- Replace a BUG_ON() with ASSERT()
Or checkpatch won't let me pass.
- Mark recovered sectors uptodate after the recover loop
- Do the cleanup for pointers unconditionally
We only need to initialize @pointers and @unmap_array to NULL, so
we can safely free them unconditionally.
- Mark the repaired sector uptodate in recover_vertical()

btrfs: update stale comment for nowait direct IO writes
If when doing a direct IO write we need to fallback to buffered IO, we
this comment at btrfs_direct_write() that says we can't directly fallback
to buffered IO if we have a NOWAIT iocb, because we have no support for
NOWAIT buffered writes. That is not true anymore, as support for NOWAIT
buffered writes was added recently in commit 926078b21db9 ("btrfs: enable
nowait async buffered writes").
However we still can't fallback to a buffered write in case we have a
NOWAIT iocb, because we'll need to flush delalloc and wait for it to
complete after doing the buffered write, and that can block for several
reasons, the main reason being waiting for IO to complete.
btrfs: extract the inline extent read code into its own function
Currently we have inline extent read code behind two levels of
indentation, factor them them out into a new function,
read_inline_extent(), to make it a little easier to read.
Since we're here, also remove @extent_offset and @pg_offset arguments
from uncompress_inline() function, as it's not possible to have inline
extents at non-inline file offset.
btrfs: make inline extent read calculation much simpler
Currently we calculate inline extent read in a way that inline extent
can start at non-zero offset.
This is consistent with the inode selftests, which puts an inline extent
at file offset 5.
Meanwhile the inline extent creation code will only create inline extent
at file offset 0.
Furthermore with the introduction of tree-checker on file extents, we are
actively rejecting inline extent which starts at non-zero file offset.
And so far we haven't yet seen any report of rejected inline extents at
non-zero file offset.
This all means, the extra calculation to support inline extents at
non-zero file offset is mostly paper weight, and damaging the
readability of the code.
Thus this patch will:
- Add extra ASSERT()s to make sure involved file offset are all 0
- Remove @extent_offset calculation
- Simplify the involved code
As several variables are now single-use, no need to declare them as
a variable anymore.

btrfs: extend btrfs_dir_item type to store encryption status
For directories with encrypted files/filenames, we need to store a flag
indicating this fact. There's no room in other fields, so we'll need to
borrow a bit from dir_type. Since it's now a combination of type and
flags, we rename it to dir_flags to reflect its new usage.
The new flag, FT_ENCRYPTED, indicates a directory containing encrypted
data, which is orthogonal to file type; therefore, add the new
flag, and make conversion from directory type to file type strip the
flag.

Actual usage will be guarded behind an incompat bit, this patch only
adds the support for later use by fscrypt.
btrfs: use struct fscrypt_str instead of struct qstr

Replace all of the struct qstr uses with struct fscrypt_str.
btrfs: setup qstr from dentrys using fscrypt helper
Most places where we get a struct qstr, we are doing so from a dentry.
With fscrypt, the dentry's name may be encrypted on-disk, so fscrypt
provides a helper to convert a dentry name to the appropriate disk name
if necessary. Convert each of the dentry name accesses to use
fscrypt_setup_filename(), then convert the resulting fscrypt_name back
to an unencrypted qstr. This does not work for nokey names, but the
specific locations that could spawn nokey names are noted.
At present, since there are no encrypted directories, nothing goes down
the filename encryption paths.
btrfs: use struct qstr instead of name and namelen pairs
Many functions throughout btrfs take name buffer and name length
arguments. Most of these functions at the highest level are usually
called with these arguments extracted from a supplied dentry's name.
But the entire name can be passed instead, making each function a little
more elegant.
Each function whose arguments are currently the name and length
extracted from a dentry is herein converted to instead take a pointer to
the name in the dentry. The couple of calls to these calls without a
struct dentry are converted to create an appropriate qstr to pass in.
Additionally, every function which is only called with a name/len
extracted directly from a qstr is also converted.
This change has positive effect on stack consumption, frame of many
functions is reduced but this will be used in the future for fscrypt
related structures.

We sometimes have to allocate new extent states when clearing or setting

sometimes and then need to try to do a GFP_ATOMIC allocation under the
lock.
Unfortunately sometimes this fails, and then we hit the BUG_ON() and
bring the box down. This happens roughly 20 times a week in our fleet.
However the vast majority of callers use GFP_NOFS, which means that if
this GFP_ATOMIC allocation fails, we could simply drop the spin lock, go
back and allocate a new extent state with our given gfp mask, and begin
again from where we left off.
For the remaining callers that do not use GFP_NOFS, they are generally
using GFP_NOWAIT, which still allows for some reclaim. So allow these
allocations to attempt to happen outside of the spin lock so we don't
need to rely on GFP_ATOMIC allocations.
This in essence creates an infinite loop for anything that isn't
GFP_NOFS. To address this we may want to migrate to using mempools for
extent states so that we will always have emergency reserves in order to

btrfs: skip update of block group item if used bytes are the same
[BACKGROUND]
When committing a transaction, we will update block group items for all
dirty block groups.
But in fact, dirty block groups don't always need to update their block
group items.
It's pretty common to have a metadata block group which experienced
several COW operations, but still have the same amount of used bytes.
In that case, we may unnecessarily COW a tree block doing nothing.
[ENHANCEMENT]
This patch will introduce btrfs_block_group::commit_used member to
remember the last used bytes, and use that new member to skip
unnecessary block group item update.
This would be more common for large filesystems, where metadata block
group can be as large as 1GiB, containing at most 64K metadata items.
In that case, if COW added and then deleted one metadata item near the
end of the block group, then it's completely possible we don't need to
touch the block group item at all.
[BENCHMARK]
The change itself can have quite a high chance (20~80%) to skip block
group item updates in lot of workloads.
As a result, it would result shorter time spent on
btrfs_write_dirty_block_groups(), and overall reduce the execution time
of the critical section of btrfs_commit_transaction().
Here comes a fio command, which will do random writes in 4K block size,
causing a very heavy metadata updates.
The file size (512M) and number of threads (4) means 2GiB file size in
total, but during the full 300s run time, my dedicated SATA SSD is able
to write around 20~25GiB, which is over 10 times the file size.
Thus after we fill the initial 2G, we should not cause much block group
item updates.
Please note, the fio numbers by themselves don't have much change, but
if we look deeper, there is some reduced execution time, especially for
the critical section of btrfs_commit_transaction().
I added extra trace_printk() to measure the following per-transaction
execution time:
- Critical section of btrfs_commit_transaction()
By re-using the existing update_commit_stats() function, which
has already calculated the interval correctly.
- The while() loop for btrfs_write_dirty_block_groups()
Although this includes the execution time of btrfs_run_delayed_refs(),
it should still be representative overall.
Both result involves transid 7~30, the same amount of transaction
committed.
The result looks like this:
| Before | After | Diff
----------------------+-------------------+----------------+--------
Transaction interval | 229247198.5 | 215016933.6 | -6.2%
Block group interval | 23133.33333 | 18970.83333 | -18.0%
The change in block group item updates is more obvious, as skipped block
group item updates also mean less delayed refs.
And the overall execution time for that block group update loop is
pretty small, thus we can assume the extent tree is already mostly
cached. If we can skip an uncached tree block, it would cause more
obvious change.
Unfortunately the overall reduction in commit transaction critical
section is much smaller, as the block group item updates loop is not
really the major part, at least not for the above fio script.
But still we have a observable reduction in the critical section.

- struct init_sequence
Just a wrapper of init and exit function pointers.
The init function must use int type as return value, thus some init
functions need to be updated to return 0.
The exit function can be NULL, as there are some init sequence just
outputting a message.
- struct mod_init_seq[] array
This is a const array, recording all the initialization we need to do
in init_btrfs_fs(), and the order follows the old init_btrfs_fs().
- bool mod_init_result[] array
This is a bool array, recording if we have initialized one entry in
mod_init_seq[].
The reason to split mod_init_seq[] and mod_init_result[] is to avoid
section mismatch in reference.
All init function are in .init.text, but if mod_init_seq[] records
the @initialized member it can no longer be const, thus will be put
into .data section, and cause modpost warning.
For init_btrfs_fs() we just call all init functions in their order in
mod_init_seq[] array, and after each call, setting corresponding
mod_init_result[] to true.
For exit_btrfs_fs() and error handling path of init_btrfs_fs(), we just
iterate mod_init_seq[] in reverse order, and skip all uninitialized
entry.

btrfs: skip reclaim if block_group is empty
As we delete extents from a block group, at some deletion we cross below
the reclaim threshold. It is possible we are still in the middle of
deleting more extents and might soon hit 0. If the block group is empty
by the time the reclaim worker runs, we will still relocate it.
This works just fine, as relocating an empty block group ultimately
results in properly deleting it. However, we have more direct ways of
removing empty block groups in the cleaner thread. Those are either
async discard or the unused_bgs list. In fact, when we decide whether to
relocate a block group during extent deletion, we do check for emptiness
and prefer the discard/unused_bgs mechanisms when possible.
Not using relocation for this case reduces some modest overhead from
empty bg relocation:
- extra transactions
- extra metadata use/churn for creating relocation metadata

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):

The test is somewhat limited in the sense the gains may be higher in

fs and extent trees, plus there's no concurrent access to the trees as
well, therefore no lock contention there.

btrfs: avoid duplicated resolution of indirect backrefs during fiemap
During fiemap, when determining if a data extent is shared or not, if we

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,

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

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.

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().
The store function is also moved just because it's the counter part
to the lookup function and it's best to have their definitions close
together.

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:
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.
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))
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 3ec4d3238ab165 ("btrfs:
allow backref search checks for shared extents"), which introduced the
early exits in case an extent is shared.
So just remove that logic, and assert at find_parent_nodes() that when we
have a share context we don't have a roots ulist and that we haven't found
the extent to be directly shared after processing delayed references and
all references from the extent tree.

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().
