An earlier commit tried to keep us from allocating too many
empty metadata chunks. It was somewhat too restrictive and could
lead to ENOSPC errors on empty filesystems.
This increases the limits to about 5% of the FS size, allowing more
metadata chunks to be preallocated.

If you mount -o space_cache, the option will be persistent across mounts, but to
make sure the user knows that they did this, emit a message telling them if they
didn't mount with -o space_cache but the feature is still used.

If something goes wrong with the free space cache we need a way to make sure
it's not loaded on mount and that it's cleared for everybody. When you pass the
clear_cache option it will make it so all block groups are setup to be cleared,
which keeps them from being loaded and then they will be truncated when the
transaction is committed. Thanks,

There are just a few things that need to be fixed in the kernel to support mixed
data+metadata block groups. Mostly we just need to make sure that if we are
using mixed block groups that we continue to allocate mixed block groups as we
need them. Also we need to make sure __find_space_info will find our space info
if we search for DATA or METADATA only. Tested this with xfstests and it works
nicely. Thanks,

With the free space disk caching we can mark the block group as started with the
caching, but we don't have a caching ctl. This can race with anybody else who
tries to get the caching ctl before we cache (this is very hard to do btw). So
instead check to see if cache->caching_ctl is set, and if not return NULL.

This patch actually loads the free space cache if it exists. The only thing
that really changes here is that we need to cache the block group if we're going
to remove an extent from it. Previously we did not do this since the caching
kthread would pick it up. With the on disk cache we don't have this luxury so
we need to make sure we read the on disk cache in first, and then remove the
extent, that way when the extent is unpinned the free space is added to the
block group. This has been tested with all sorts of things.

This is a simple bit, just dump the free space cache out to our preallocated
inode when we're writing out dirty block groups. There are a bunch of changes
in inode.c in order to account for special cases. Mostly when we're doing the
writeout we're holding trans_mutex, so we need to use the nolock transacation
functions. Also we can't do asynchronous completions since the async thread
could be blocked on already completed IO waiting for the transaction lock. This
has been tested with xfstests and btrfs filesystem balance, as well as my ENOSPC
tests. Thanks,

In order to save free space cache, we need an inode to hold the data, and we
need a special item to point at the right inode for the right block group. So
first, create a special item that will point to the right inode, and the number
of extent entries we will have and the number of bitmaps we will have. We
truncate and pre-allocate space everytime to make sure it's uptodate.
This feature will be turned on as soon as you mount with -o space_cache, however
it is safe to boot into old kernels, they will just generate the cache the old
fashion way. When you boot back into a newer kernel we will notice that we
modified and not the cache and automatically discard the cache.

Because btrfs_dirty_inode does a btrfs_join_transaction, it doesn't actually
reserve space. It does this so we can try and dirty the inode quickly without
having to deal with the ENOSPC problems. But if it does get back ENOSPC it
handles it properly. The problem is use_block_rsv does a WARN_ON whenever this
case happens, even tho btrfs_dirty_inode takes it into account and actually
expects to get -ENOSPC if things are particularly tight. So instead just remove
the warning. Thanks,

btrfs_commit_transaction will free our trans, but because we pass trans to
shrink_delalloc we could possibly have a use after free situation. So instead
if we commit the transaction, set trans to null and set committed to true so we
don't keep trying to commit a transaction. This fixes a panic I could reproduce
at will. Thanks,

With multi-threaded writes we were getting ENOSPC early because somebody would
come in, start flushing delalloc because they couldn't make their reservation,
and in the meantime other threads would come in and use the space that was
getting freed up, so when the original thread went to check to see if they had
space they didn't and they'd return ENOSPC. So instead if we have some free
space but not enough for our reservation, take the reservation and then start
doing the flushing. The only time we don't take reservations is when we've
already overcommitted our space, that way we don't have people who come late to
the party way overcommitting ourselves. This also moves all of the retrying and
flushing code into reserve_metdata_bytes so it's all uniform. This keeps my
fs_mark test from returning -ENOSPC as soon as it starts and actually lets me
fill up the disk. Thanks,
Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com>
Because the ENOSPC code over reserves super aggressively we end up allocating
chunks way more often than we should. For example with my fs_mark tests on a
2gb fs I can end up reserved 1gb just for metadata, when only 34mb of that is
being used. So instead check to see if the amount of space actually used is
less than 30% of the total space, and if so don't allocate a chunk, but only if
we have at least 256mb of free space to make sure we don't put too much pressure
on free space.

Currently we try and flush delalloc, but we only do that in a sort of weak way,
which works fine in most cases but if we're under heavy pressure we need to be
able to wait for flushing to happen. Also instead of checking the bytes
reserved in the block_rsv, check the space info since it is more accurate. The
sync option will be used in a future patch.

The global reservation stuff tries to add together DATA and METADATA used in
order to figure out how much to reserve for everything, but this doesn't work
right for mixed block groups. Instead if we have mixed block groups just set
data used to 0. Also with mixed block groups we will use bytes_may_use for
keeping track of delalloc bytes, so we need to take that into account in our
reservation calculations.
Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <josef@redhat.com>
The new ENOSPC stuff breaks out the raid types which breaks the way we were
reporting df to the system. This fixes it back so that Available is the total
space available to data and used is the actual bytes used by the filesystem.
This means that Available is Total - data used - all of the metadata space.

In very severe ENOSPC cases we can run out of inodes to do delalloc on, which
means we'll just keep looping trying to shrink delalloc. Instead, if we fail to
shrink delalloc 3 times in a row break out since we're not likely to make any
progress. Tested this with a 100mb fs an xfstests test 13. Before the patch it
would hang the box, with the patch we get -ENOSPC like we should. Thanks,

Introduce metadata reservation context for delayed allocation
and update various related functions.
This patch also introduces EXTENT_FIRST_DELALLOC control bit for
set/clear_extent_bit. It tells set/clear_bit_hook whether they
are processing the first extent_state with EXTENT_DELALLOC bit
set. This change is important if set/clear_extent_bit involves
multiple extent_state.
