  • Replacing a xattr consists of doing a lookup for its existing value, delete
    the current value from the respective leaf, release the search path and then
    finally insert the new value. This leaves a time window where readers (getxattr,
    listxattrs) won't see any value for the xattr. Xattrs are used to store ACLs,
    so this has security implications.

    This change also fixes 2 other existing issues which were:

    *) Deleting the old xattr value without verifying first if the new xattr will
    fit in the existing leaf item (in case multiple xattrs are packed in the
    same item due to name hash collision);

    *) Returning -EEXIST when the flag XATTR_CREATE is given and the xattr doesn't
    exist but we have have an existing item that packs muliple xattrs with
    the same name hash as the input xattr. In this case we should return ENOSPC.

    A test case for xfstests follows soon.

    Thanks to Alexandre Oliva for reporting the non-atomicity of the xattr replace
    implementation.

  • Big patch, but all it does is add statics to functions which
    are in fact static, then remove the associated dead-code fallout.

    removed functions:

    btrfs_iref_to_path()
    __btrfs_lookup_delayed_deletion_item()
    __btrfs_search_delayed_insertion_item()
    __btrfs_search_delayed_deletion_item()
    find_eb_for_page()
    btrfs_find_block_group()
    range_straddles_pages()
    extent_range_uptodate()
    btrfs_file_extent_length()
    btrfs_scrub_cancel_devid()
    btrfs_start_transaction_lflush()

    btrfs_print_tree() is left because it is used for debugging.
    btrfs_start_transaction_lflush() and btrfs_reada_detach() are
    left for symmetry.

    ulist.c functions are left, another patch will take care of those.

  • The handling for directory crc hash overflows was fairly obscure,
    split_leaf returns EOVERFLOW when we try to extend the item and that is
    supposed to bubble up to userland. For a while it did so, but along the
    way we added better handling of errors and forced the FS readonly if we
    hit IO errors during the directory insertion.

    Along the way, we started testing only for EEXIST and the EOVERFLOW case
    was dropped. The end result is that we may force the FS readonly if we
    catch a directory hash bucket overflow.

    This fixes a few problem spots. First I add tests for EOVERFLOW in the
    places where we can safely just return the error up the chain.

    btrfs_rename is harder though, because it tries to insert the new
    directory item only after it has already unlinked anything the rename
    was going to overwrite. Rather than adding very complex logic, I added
    a helper to test for the hash overflow case early while it is still safe
    to bail out.

    Snapshot and subvolume creation had a similar problem, so they are using
    the new helper now too.

  • I've been watching how many btrfs_search_slot()'s we do and I noticed that when
    we create a file with selinux enabled we were doing 2 each time we initialize
    the security context. That's because we lookup the xattr first so we can delete
    it if we're setting a new value to an existing xattr. But in the create case we
    don't have any xattrs, so it is completely useless to have the extra lookup. So
    re-arrange things so that we only lookup first if we specifically have
    XATTR_REPLACE. That way in the basic case we only do 1 search, and in the more
    complicated case we do the normal 2 lookups. Thanks,

  • Changelog V5 -> V6:
    - Fix oom when the memory load is high, by storing the delayed nodes into the
    root's radix tree, and letting btrfs inodes go.

    Changelog V4 -> V5:
    - Fix the race on adding the delayed node to the inode, which is spotted by
    Chris Mason.
    - Merge Chris Mason's incremental patch into this patch.
    - Fix deadlock between readdir() and memory fault, which is reported by
    Itaru Kitayama.

    Changelog V3 -> V4:
    - Fix nested lock, which is reported by Itaru Kitayama, by updating space cache
    inode in time.

    Changelog V2 -> V3:
    - Fix the race between the delayed worker and the task which does delayed items
    balance, which is reported by Tsutomu Itoh.
    - Modify the patch address David Sterba's comment.
    - Fix the bug of the cpu recursion spinlock, reported by Chris Mason

    Changelog V1 -> V2:
    - break up the global rb-tree, use a list to manage the delayed nodes,
    which is created for every directory and file, and used to manage the
    delayed directory name index items and the delayed inode item.
    - introduce a worker to deal with the delayed nodes.

    Compare with Ext3/4, the performance of file creation and deletion on btrfs
    is very poor. the reason is that btrfs must do a lot of b+ tree insertions,
    such as inode item, directory name item, directory name index and so on.

    If we can do some delayed b+ tree insertion or deletion, we can improve the
    performance, so we made this patch which implemented delayed directory name
    index insertion/deletion and delayed inode update.

    Implementation:
    - introduce a delayed root object into the filesystem, that use two lists to
    manage the delayed nodes which are created for every file/directory.
    One is used to manage all the delayed nodes that have delayed items. And the
    other is used to manage the delayed nodes which is waiting to be dealt with
    by the work thread.
    - Every delayed node has two rb-tree, one is used to manage the directory name
    index which is going to be inserted into b+ tree, and the other is used to
    manage the directory name index which is going to be deleted from b+ tree.
    - introduce a worker to deal with the delayed operation. This worker is used
    to deal with the works of the delayed directory name index items insertion
    and deletion and the delayed inode update.
    When the delayed items is beyond the lower limit, we create works for some
    delayed nodes and insert them into the work queue of the worker, and then
    go back.
    When the delayed items is beyond the upper bound, we create works for all
    the delayed nodes that haven't been dealt with, and insert them into the work
    queue of the worker, and then wait for that the untreated items is below some
    threshold value.
    - When we want to insert a directory name index into b+ tree, we just add the
    information into the delayed inserting rb-tree.
    And then we check the number of the delayed items and do delayed items
    balance. (The balance policy is above.)
    - When we want to delete a directory name index from the b+ tree, we search it
    in the inserting rb-tree at first. If we look it up, just drop it. If not,
    add the key of it into the delayed deleting rb-tree.
    Similar to the delayed inserting rb-tree, we also check the number of the
    delayed items and do delayed items balance.
    (The same to inserting manipulation)
    - When we want to update the metadata of some inode, we cached the data of the
    inode into the delayed node. the worker will flush it into the b+ tree after
    dealing with the delayed insertion and deletion.
    - We will move the delayed node to the tail of the list after we access the
    delayed node, By this way, we can cache more delayed items and merge more
    inode updates.
    - If we want to commit transaction, we will deal with all the delayed node.
    - the delayed node will be freed when we free the btrfs inode.
    - Before we log the inode items, we commit all the directory name index items
    and the delayed inode update.

    I did a quick test by the benchmark tool[1] and found we can improve the
    performance of file creation by ~15%, and file deletion by ~20%.

  • These are all the cases where a variable is set, but not
    read which are really bugs.

    - Couple of incorrect error handling fixed.
    - One incorrect use of a allocation policy
    - Some other things

    Still needs more review.

  • btrfs allows subvolumes and snapshots anywhere in the directory tree.
    If we snapshot a subvolume that contains a link to other subvolume
    called subvolA, subvolA can be accessed through both the original
    subvolume and the snapshot. This is similar to creating hard link to
    directory, and has the very similar problems.

    The aim of this patch is enforcing there is only one access point to
    each subvolume. Only the first directory entry (the one added when
    the subvolume/snapshot was created) is treated as valid access point.
    The first directory entry is distinguished by checking root forward
    reference. If the corresponding root forward reference is missing,
    we know the entry is not the first one.

    This patch also adds snapshot/subvolume rename support, the code
    allows rename subvolume link across subvolumes.

  • btrfs_mark_buffer dirty would set dirty bits in the extent_io tree
    for the buffers it was dirtying. This may require a kmalloc and it
    was not atomic. So, anyone who called btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty had to
    set any btree locks they were holding to blocking first.

    This commit changes dirty tracking for extent buffers to just use a flag
    in the extent buffer. Now that we have one and only one extent buffer
    per page, this can be safely done without losing dirty bits along the way.

    This also introduces a path->leave_spinning flag that callers of
    btrfs_search_slot can use to indicate they will properly deal with a
    path returned where all the locks are spinning instead of blocking.

    Many of the btree search callers now expect spinning paths,
    resulting in better btree concurrency overall.

  • This improves the comments at the top of many functions. It didn't
    dive into the guts of functions because I was trying to
    avoid merging problems with the new allocator and back reference work.

    extent-tree.c and volumes.c were both skipped, and there is definitely
    more work todo in cleaning and commenting the code.
