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.

btrfs_tree_locked was being used to make sure a given extent_buffer was
properly locked in a few places. But, it wasn't correct for UP compiled
kernels.
This switches it to using assert_spin_locked instead, and renames it to
btrfs_assert_tree_locked to better reflect how it was really being used.

Btrfs is currently using spin_lock_nested with a nested value based
on the tree depth of the block. But, this doesn't quite work because
the max tree depth is bigger than what spin_lock_nested can deal with,
and because locks are sometimes taken before the level field is filled in.
The solution here is to use lockdep_set_class_and_name instead, and to
set the class before unlocking the pages when the block is read from the
disk and just after init of a freshly allocated tree block.
btrfs_clear_path_blocking is also changed to take the locks in the proper
order, and it also makes sure all the locks currently held are properly
set to blocking before it tries to retake the spinlocks. Otherwise, lockdep
gets upset about bad lock orderin.

Most of the btrfs metadata operations can be protected by a spinlock,
but some operations still need to schedule.
So far, btrfs has been using a mutex along with a trylock loop,
most of the time it is able to avoid going for the full mutex, so
the trylock loop is a big performance gain.
This commit is step one for getting rid of the blocking locks entirely.
btrfs_tree_lock takes a spinlock, and the code explicitly switches
to a blocking lock when it starts an operation that can schedule.
We'll be able get rid of the blocking locks in smaller pieces over time.
Tracing allows us to find the most common cause of blocking, so we
can start with the hot spots first.
The basic idea is:
btrfs_tree_lock() returns with the spin lock held
btrfs_set_lock_blocking() sets the EXTENT_BUFFER_BLOCKING bit in
the extent buffer flags, and then drops the spin lock. The buffer is
still considered locked by all of the btrfs code.
If btrfs_tree_lock gets the spinlock but finds the blocking bit set, it drops
the spin lock and waits on a wait queue for the blocking bit to go away.
Much of the code that needs to set the blocking bit finishes without actually
blocking a good percentage of the time. So, an adaptive spin is still
used against the blocking bit to avoid very high context switch rates.
btrfs_clear_lock_blocking() clears the blocking bit and returns
with the spinlock held again.
btrfs_tree_unlock() can be called on either blocking or spinning locks,
it does the right thing based on the blocking bit.
ctree.c has a helper function to set/clear all the locked buffers in a
path as blocking.

Before metadata is written to disk, it is updated to reflect that writeout
has begun. Once this update is done, the block must be cow'd before it
can be modified again.
This update was originally synchronized by using a per-fs spinlock. Today
the buffers for the metadata blocks are locked before writeout begins,
and everyone that tests the flag has the buffer locked as well.
So, the per-fs spinlock (called hash_lock for no good reason) is no
longer required.

Tracing shows the delay between when an async thread goes to sleep
and when more work is added is often very short. This commit adds
a little bit of delay and extra checking to the code right before
we schedule out.
It allows more work to be added to the worker
without requiring notifications from other procs.

To improve performance, btrfs_sync_log merges tree log sync
requests. But it wrongly merges sync requests for different
tree logs. If multiple tree logs are synced at the same time,
only one of them actually gets synced.
This patch has following changes to fix the bug:
Move most tree log related fields in btrfs_fs_info to
btrfs_root. This allows merging sync requests separately
for each tree log.
Don't insert root item into the log root tree immediately
after log tree is allocated. Root item for log tree is
inserted when log tree get synced for the first time. This
allows syncing the log root tree without first syncing all
log trees.
At tree-log sync, btrfs_sync_log first sync the log tree;
then updates corresponding root item in the log root tree;
sync the log root tree; then update the super block.

The data in fs_info->super_for_commit are zeros before the
first transaction commit. If tree log sync and system crash
both occur before the first transaction commit, super block
will get corrupted.
This fixes it by properly filling in the super_for_commit field at
open time.

bio_end_io for reads without checksumming on and btree writes were
happening without using async thread pools. This means the extent_io.c
code had to use spin_lock_irq and friends on the rb tree locks for
extent state.
There were some irq safe vs unsafe lock inversions between the delallock
lock and the extent state locks. This patch gets rid of them by moving
all end_io code into the thread pools.
To avoid contention and deadlocks between the data end_io processing and the
metadata end_io processing yet another thread pool is added to finish
off metadata writes.

Btrfs stores checksums for each data block. Until now, they have
been stored in the subvolume trees, indexed by the inode that is
referencing the data block. This means that when we read the inode,
we've probably read in at least some checksums as well.
But, this has a few problems:
* The checksums are indexed by logical offset in the file. When
compression is on, this means we have to do the expensive checksumming
on the uncompressed data. It would be faster if we could checksum
the compressed data instead.
* If we implement encryption, we'll be checksumming the plain text and
storing that on disk. This is significantly less secure.
* For either compression or encryption, we have to get the plain text
back before we can verify the checksum as correct. This makes the raid
layer balancing and extent moving much more expensive.
* It makes the front end caching code more complex, as we have touch
the subvolume and inodes as we cache extents.
* There is potentitally one copy of the checksum in each subvolume
referencing an extent.
The solution used here is to store the extent checksums in a dedicated
tree. This allows us to index the checksums by phyiscal extent
start and length. It means:
* The checksum is against the data stored on disk, after any compression
or encryption is done.
* The checksum is stored in a central location, and can be verified without
following back references, or reading inodes.
This makes compression significantly faster by reducing the amount of
data that needs to be checksummed. It will also allow much faster
raid management code in general.
The checksums are indexed by a key with a fixed objectid (a magic value
in ctree.h) and offset set to the starting byte of the extent. This
allows us to copy the checksum items into the fsync log tree directly (or
any other tree), without having to invent a second format for them.

This needs to be applied on top of my previous patches, but is needed for more
than just my new stuff. We're going to the wrong label when we have an error,
we try to stop the workers, but they are started below all of this code. This
fixes it so we go to the right error label and not panic when we fail one of

This adds the necessary disk format for handling compatibility flags
in the future to handle disk format changes. We have a compat_flags,
compat_ro_flags and incompat_flags set for the super block. Compat
flags will be to hold the features that are compatible with older
versions of btrfs, compat_ro flags have features that are compatible
with older versions of btrfs if the fs is mounted read only, and
incompat_flags has features that are incompatible with older versions
of btrfs. This also axes the compat_flags field for the inode and
just makes the flags field a 64bit field, and changes the root item
flags field to 64bit.
