Btrfs: improve multi-thread buffer read
While testing with my buffer read fio jobs[1], I find that btrfs does not
perform well enough.
Here is a scenario in fio jobs:
We have 4 threads, "t1 t2 t3 t4", starting to buffer read a same file,
and all of them will race on add_to_page_cache_lru(), and if one thread
successfully puts its page into the page cache, it takes the responsibility
to read the page's data.
And what's more, reading a page needs a period of time to finish, in which
other threads can slide in and process rest pages:
t1 t2 t3 t4
add Page1
read Page1 add Page2
| read Page2 add Page3
| | read Page3 add Page4
| | | read Page4
-----|------------|-----------|-----------|--------
v v v v
bio bio bio bio
Now we have four bios, each of which holds only one page since we need to
maintain consecutive pages in bio. Thus, we can end up with far more bios
than we need.
Here we're going to
a) delay the real read-page section and
b) try to put more pages into page cache.
With that said, we can make each bio hold more pages and reduce the number
of bios we need.
Here is some numbers taken from fio results:

Btrfs: make btrfs's allocation smoothly with preallocation
For backref walking, we've introduce delayed ref's sequence. However,
it changes our preallocation behavior.
The story is that when we preallocate an extent and then mark it written
piece by piece, the ideal case should be that we don't need to COW the
extent, which is why we use 'preallocate'.
But we may not make use of preallocation, since when we check for cross refs on
the extent, we may have two ref entries which have the same content except
the sequence value, and we recognize them as cross refs and do COW to allocate
another extent.
So we end up with several pieces of space instead of an whole extent.

Btrfs: fix a bug of writting free space cache during balance
Here is the whole story:
1)
A free space cache consists of two parts:
o free space cache inode, which is special becase it's stored in root tree.
o free space info, which is stored as the above inode's file data.
But we only build up another new inode and does not flush its free space info
onto disk when we _clear and setup_ free space cache, and this ends up with
that the block group cache's cache_state remains DC_SETUP instead of DC_WRITTEN.
And holding DC_SETUP means that we will not truncate this free space cache inode,
which means the disk offset of its file extent will remain _unchanged_ at least
until next transaction finishes committing itself.
2)
We can set a block group readonly when we relocate the block group.
However,
if the readonly block group covers the disk offset where our free space cache
inode is going to write, it will force the free space cache inode into
cow_file_range() and it'll end up hitting a BUG_ON.
3)
Due to the above analysis, we fix this bug by adding the missing dirty flag.
4)
However, it's not over, there is still another case, nospace_cache.
With nospace_cache, we do not want to set dirty flag, instead we just truncate
free space cache inode and bail out with setting cache state DC_WRITTEN.
We can benifit from it since it saves us another 'pre-allocation' part which
usually costs a lot.

Btrfs: change how we indicate we're adding csums
There is weird logic I had to put in place to make sure that when we were
adding csums that we'd used the delalloc block rsv instead of the global
block rsv. Part of this meant that we had to free up our transaction
reservation before we ran the delayed refs since csum deletion happens
during the delayed ref work. The problem with this is that when we release
a reservation we will add it to the global reserve if it is not full in
order to keep us going along longer before we have to force a transaction
commit. By releasing our reservation before we run delayed refs we don't
get the opportunity to drain down the global reserve for the work we did, so
we won't refill it as often. This isn't a problem per-se, it just results
in us possibly committing transactions more and more often, and in rare
cases could cause those WARN_ON()'s to pop in use_block_rsv because we ran
out of space in our block rsv.
This also helps us by holding onto space while the delayed refs run so we
don't end up with as many people trying to do things at the same time, which
again will help us not force commits or hit the use_block_rsv warnings.

UBIFS: fix a bug in empty space fix-up
We can't guarantee that REQ_DISCARD on dm-mirror zeroes the data even if
the underlying disks support zero on discard. So this patch sets
ti->discard_zeroes_data_unsupported.
For example, if the mirror is in the process of resynchronizing, it may
happen that kcopyd reads a piece of data, then discard is sent on the
same area and then kcopyd writes the piece of data to another leg.
Consequently, the data is not zeroed.
When process_discard receives a partial discard that doesn't cover a
full block, it sends this discard down to that block. Unfortunately, the
block can be shared and the discard would corrupt the other snapshots
sharing this block.
This patch detects block sharing and ends the discard with success when
sending it to the shared block.
The above change means that if the device supports discard it can't be
guaranteed that a discard request zeroes data. Therefore, we set
ti->discard_zeroes_data_unsupported.
dm raid1: fix crash with mirror recovery and discard
This patch fixes a crash when a discard request is sent during mirror
recovery.
Firstly, some background. Generally, the following sequence happens during
mirror synchronization:
- function do_recovery is called
- do_recovery calls dm_rh_recovery_prepare
- dm_rh_recovery_prepare uses a semaphore to limit the number
simultaneously recovered regions (by default the semaphore value is 1,
so only one region at a time is recovered)
- dm_rh_recovery_prepare calls __rh_recovery_prepare,
__rh_recovery_prepare asks the log driver for the next region to
recover. Then, it sets the region state to DM_RH_RECOVERING. If there
are no pending I/Os on this region, the region is added to
quiesced_regions list. If there are pending I/Os, the region is not
added to any list. It is added to the quiesced_regions list later (by
dm_rh_dec function) when all I/Os finish.
- when the region is on quiesced_regions list, there are no I/Os in
flight on this region. The region is popped from the list in
dm_rh_recovery_start function. Then, a kcopyd job is started in the
recover function.
- when the kcopyd job finishes, recovery_complete is called. It calls
dm_rh_recovery_end. dm_rh_recovery_end adds the region to
recovered_regions or failed_recovered_regions list (depending on
whether the copy operation was successful or not).
The above mechanism assumes that if the region is in DM_RH_RECOVERING
state, no new I/Os are started on this region. When I/O is started,
dm_rh_inc_pending is called, which increases reg->pending count. When
I/O is finished, dm_rh_dec is called. It decreases reg->pending count.
If the count is zero and the region was in DM_RH_RECOVERING state,
dm_rh_dec adds it to the quiesced_regions list.
Consequently, if we call dm_rh_inc_pending/dm_rh_dec while the region is
in DM_RH_RECOVERING state, it could be added to quiesced_regions list
multiple times or it could be added to this list when kcopyd is copying
data (it is assumed that the region is not on any list while kcopyd does
its jobs). This results in memory corruption and crash.
There already exist bypasses for REQ_FLUSH requests: REQ_FLUSH requests
do not belong to any region, so they are always added to the sync list
in do_writes. dm_rh_inc_pending does not increase count for REQ_FLUSH
requests. In mirror_end_io, dm_rh_dec is never called for REQ_FLUSH
requests. These bypasses avoid the crash possibility described above.
These bypasses were improperly implemented for REQ_DISCARD when
the mirror target gained discard support in commit 5fc2ffeabb9ee0fc0e71ff16b49f34f0ed3d05b4 (dm raid1: support discard).
In do_writes, REQ_DISCARD requests is always added to the sync queue and
immediately dispatched (even if the region is in DM_RH_RECOVERING). However,
dm_rh_inc and dm_rh_dec is called for REQ_DISCARD resusts. So it violates the
rule that no I/Os are started on DM_RH_RECOVERING regions, and causes the list
corruption described above.
This patch changes it so that REQ_DISCARD requests follow the same path
as REQ_FLUSH. This avoids the crash.

ore: Fix NFS crash by supporting any unaligned RAID IO
In RAID_5/6 We used to not permit an IO that it's end
byte is not stripe_size aligned and spans more than one stripe.
.i.e the caller must check if after submission the actual
transferred bytes is shorter, and would need to resubmit
a new IO with the remainder.
Exofs supports this, and NFS was supposed to support this
as well with it's short write mechanism. But late testing has
exposed a CRASH when this is used with none-RPC layout-drivers.
The change at NFS is deep and risky, in it's place the fix
at ORE to lift the limitation is actually clean and simple.
So here it is below.
The principal here is that in the case of unaligned IO on
both ends, beginning and end, we will send two read requests
one like old code, before the calculation of the first stripe,
and also a new site, before the calculation of the last stripe.
If any "boundary" is aligned or the complete IO is within a single
stripe. we do a single read like before.
The code is clean and simple by splitting the old _read_4_write
into 3 even parts:
1._read_4_write_first_stripe
2. _read_4_write_last_stripe
3. _read_4_write_execute
And calling 1+3 at the same place as before. 2+3 before last
stripe, and in the case of all in a single stripe then 1+2+3
is preformed additively.
Why did I not think of it before. Well I had a strike of
genius because I have stared at this code for 2 years, and did
not find this simple solution, til today. Not that I did not try.
This solution is much better for NFS than the previous supposedly
solution because the short write was dealt with out-of-band after
IO_done, which would cause for a seeky IO pattern where as in here
we execute in order. At both solutions we do 2 separate reads, only
here we do it within a single IO request. (And actually combine two
writes into a single submission)
NFS/exofs code need not change since the ORE API communicates the new
shorter length on return, what will happen is that this case would not
occur anymore.

[Stable this is an NFS bug since 3.2 Kernel should apply cleanly] CC: Stable Tree <stable@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Boaz Harrosh <bharrosh@panasas.com>
UBIFS has a feature called "empty space fix-up" which is a quirk to work-around
limitations of dumb flasher programs. Namely, of those flashers that are unable
to skip NAND pages full of 0xFFs while flashing, resulting in empty space at
the end of half-filled eraseblocks to be unusable for UBIFS. This feature is
relatively new (introduced in v3.0).
The fix-up routine (fixup_free_space()) is executed only once at the very first
mount if the superblock has the 'space_fixup' flag set (can be done with -F
option of mkfs.ubifs). It basically reads all the UBIFS data and metadata and
writes it back to the same LEB. The routine assumes the image is pristine and
does not have anything in the journal.
There was a bug in 'fixup_free_space()' where it fixed up the log incorrectly.
All but one LEB of the log of a pristine file-system are empty. And one
contains just a commit start node. And 'fixup_free_space()' just unmapped this
LEB, which resulted in wiping the commit start node. As a result, some users
were unable to mount the file-system next time with the following symptom:
UBIFS error (pid 1): replay_log_leb: first log node at LEB 3:0 is not CS node
UBIFS error (pid 1): replay_log_leb: log error detected while replaying the log at LEB 3:0
The root-cause of this bug was that 'fixup_free_space()' wrongly assumed
that the beginning of empty space in the log head (c->lhead_offs) was known
on mount. However, it is not the case - it was always 0. UBIFS does not store
in it the master node and finds out by scanning the log on every mount.
The fix is simple - just pass commit start node size instead of 0 to
'fixup_leb()'.

Fixups are executed once the pci-device is found which is during boot
process so __init seems fine as long as the platform does not support
hotplug.
However it is possible to remove the PCI bus at run time and have it
rediscovered again via "echo 1 > /sys/bus/pci/rescan" and this will call
the fixups again.

Added a 'reschedule_retry' call possibility at the end of
end_sync_write, but didn't add matching code at the end of
sync_request_write. So if the writes complete very quickly, or
scheduling makes it seem that way, then we can miss rescheduling
the request and the resync could hang.
md: avoid crash when stopping md array races with closing other open fds.
md will refuse to stop an array if any other fd (or mounted fs) is
using it.
When any fs is unmounted of when the last open fd is closed all
pending IO will be flushed (e.g. sync_blockdev call in __blkdev_put)
so there will be no pending IO to worry about when the array is
stopped.
However in order to send the STOP_ARRAY ioctl to stop the array one
must first get and open fd on the block device.
If some fd is being used to write to the block device and it is closed
after mdadm open the block device, but before mdadm issues the
STOP_ARRAY ioctl, then there will be no last-close on the md device so
__blkdev_put will not call sync_blockdev.
If this happens, then IO can still be in-flight while md tears down
the array and bad things can happen (use-after-free and subsequent
havoc).
So in the case where do_md_stop is being called from an open file
descriptor, call sync_block after taking the mutex to ensure there
will be no new openers.
This is needed when setting a read-write device to read-only too.
introduced a 'new_data_offset' attribute which should normally
be the same as 'data_offset', but can be explicitly set to a different
value to allow a reshape operation to move the data.
Unfortunately when the 'data_offset' is explicitly set through
sysfs, the new_data_offset is not also set, so the two would become
out-of-sync incorrectly.
One result of this is that trying to set the 'size' after the
'data_offset' would fail because it is not permitted to set the size
when the 'data_offset' and 'new_data_offset' are different - as that
can be confusing.
Consequently when mdadm tried to do this while assembling an IMSM
array it would fail.
This bug was introduced in 3.5-rc1.
