This patch adds a lightweight sync migrate operation MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT
mode that avoids writing back pages to backing storage. Async compaction
maps to MIGRATE_ASYNC while sync compaction maps to MIGRATE_SYNC_LIGHT.
For other migrate_pages users such as memory hotplug, MIGRATE_SYNC is
used.This avoids sync compaction stalling for an excessive length of time,
particularly when copying files to a USB stick where there might be a
large number of dirty pages backed by a filesystem that does not support
->writepages.[aarcange@redhat.com: This patch is heavily based on Andrea's work]

Asynchronous compaction is used when allocating transparent hugepages to
avoid blocking for long periods of time. Due to reports of stalling,
there was a debate on disabling synchronous compaction but this severely
impacted allocation success rates. Part of the reason was that many dirty
pages are skipped in asynchronous compaction by the following check;if (PageDirty(page) && !sync &&
mapping->a_ops->migratepage != migrate_page)
rc = -EBUSY;This skips over all mapping aops using buffer_migrate_page() even though
it is possible to migrate some of these pages without blocking. This
patch updates the ->migratepage callback with a "sync" parameter. It is
the responsibility of the callback to fail gracefully if migration would
block.Signed-off-by: Mel Gorman

Al pointed out we have some random problems with the way we account for
num_workers_starting in the async thread stuff. First of all we need to make
sure to decrement num_workers_starting if we fail to start the worker, so make
__btrfs_start_workers do this. Also fix __btrfs_start_workers so that it
doesn't call btrfs_stop_workers(), there is no point in stopping everybody if we
failed to create a worker. Also check_pending_worker_creates needs to call
__btrfs_start_work in it's work function since it already increments
num_workers_starting.People only start one worker at a time, so get rid of the num_workers argument
everywhere, and make btrfs_queue_worker a void since it will always succeed.

There is no reason to export two functions for entering the
refrigerator. Calling refrigerator() instead of try_to_freeze()
doesn't save anything noticeable or removes any race condition.* Rename refrigerator() to __refrigerator() and make it return bool
indicating whether it scheduled out for freezing.* Update try_to_freeze() to return bool and relay the return value of
__refrigerator() if freezing().* Convert all refrigerator() users to try_to_freeze().
* Update documentation accordingly.
* While at it, add might_sleep() to try_to_freeze().

When btrfs is writing the super blocks, it send barrier flushes to make
sure writeback caching drives get all the metadata on disk in the
right order.But, we have two bugs in the way these are sent down. When doing
full commits (not via the tree log), we are sending the barrier down
before the last super when it should be going down before the first.In multi-device setups, we should be waiting for the barriers to
complete on all devices before writing any of the supers.Both of these bugs can cause corruptions on power failures. We fix it
with some new code to send down empty barriers to all devices before
writing the first super.Alexandre Oliva found the multi-device bug. Arne Jansen did the async
barrier loop.Signed-off-by: Chris Mason

Fix bugs introduced by 6c41761f. Firstly, after failing to allocate any
of the tree roots (first 'goto fail' in open_ctree()) we would
dereference a NULL fs_info pointer in free_fs_info(). Secondly, after
failures from init_srcu_struct(), setup_bdi() and new_inode() we would
leak all earlier allocated roots: fs_info fields haven't been
initialized yet so free_fs_info() is rendered useless.Fix this by initializing fs_info pointer and fs_info fields before any
allocations happen.Signed-off-by: Ilya Dryomov

I've been hitting warnings in use_block_rsv when running the delayed insertion
stuff. It's because we will readjust global block rsv based on what is in use,
which means we could end up discarding reservations that are for the delayed
insertion stuff. So instead create a seperate block rsv for the delayed
insertion stuff. This will also make it easier to debug problems with the
delayed insertion reservations since we will know that only the delayed
insertion code touches this block_rsv. Thanks,Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik

to record information about most of the roots in the last four

tree root, the device tree root or the csum root.Signed-off-by: Chris Mason

write_cache_pages tries to build up a large bio to stuff down the pipe.
But if it needs to wait for a page lock, it needs to make sure and send
down any pending writes so we don't deadlock with anyone who has the

One of the things that kills us is the fact that our ENOSPC reservations are
horribly over the top in most normal cases. There isn't too much that can be
done about this because when we are completely full we really need them to work
like this so we don't under reserve. However if there is plenty of unallocated
chunks on the disk we can use that to gauge how much we can overcommit. So this
patch adds chunk free space accounting so we always know how much unallocated
space we have. Then if we fail to make a reservation within our allocated
space, check to see if we can overcommit. In the normal flushing case (like
with delalloc metadata reservations) we'll take the free space and divide it by
2 if our metadata profile is setup for DUP or any of those, and then divide it
by 8 to make sure we don't overcommit too much. Then if we're in a non-flushing
case (we really need this reservation now!) we only limit ourselves to half of
the free space. This makes this fio test[torrent]
filename=torrent-test
rw=randwrite
size=4g
ioengine=sync
directory=/mnt/btrfs-testgo from taking around 45 minutes to 10 seconds on my freshly formatted 3 TiB
file system. This doesn't seem to break my other enospc tests, but could really
use some more testing as this is a super scary change. Thanks,Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik

In moving some enospc stuff around I noticed that when we unmount we are often
evicting the free space cache inodes before we do our last commit. This isn't
bad, but it makes us constantly have to re-read the inodes back. So instead
don't evict the cache until after we do our last commit, this will make things a
little less crappy and makes a future enospc change work properly. Thanks,Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik

This adds the hooks needed for readahead. In the readpage_end_io_hook,
the extent state is checked for the EXTENT_READAHEAD flag. Only in this
case the readahead hook is called, to keep the impact on non-ra as low
as possible.
Additionally, a hook for a failed IO is added, otherwise readahead would
wait indefinitely for the extent to finish.Changes for v2:

read_extent_buffer_pages currently has two modes, either trigger a read
without waiting for anything, or wait for the I/O to finish. The former
also bails when it's unable to lock the page. This patch now adds an

for completion.Changes v5:

This patch was originally from Tejun Heo. lockdep complains about the btrfs
locking because we sometimes take btree locks from two different trees at the
same time. The current classes are based only on level in the btree, which
isn't enough information for lockdep to figure out if the lock is safe.This patch makes a class for each type of tree, and lumps all the FS trees that
actually have files and directories into the same class.Signed-off-by: Chris Mason

The extent_buffers have a very complex interface where
we use HIGHMEM for metadata and try to cache a kmap mapping
to access the memory.The next commit adds reader/writer locks, and concurrent use
of this kmap cache would make it even more complex.This commit drops the ability to use HIGHMEM with extent buffers,
and rips out all of the related code.Signed-off-by: Chris Mason

A user reported a deadlock when copying a bunch of files. This is because they
were low on memory and kthreadd got hung up trying to migrate pages for an
allocation when starting the caching kthread. The page was locked by the person
starting the caching kthread. To fix this we just need to use the async thread
stuff so that the threads are already created and we don't have to worry about
deadlocks. Thanks,Reported-by: Roman Mamedov
