Hi,

the patch si simple, but it has user visible impact and I'm not quite sure how
to resolve it.

In short, $subj says it, chattr -C supports it and we want to use it.

The conditions that acutally allow to change the NOCOW flag are clear. What if
I try to set the flag on a file that is not empty? Options:

1) whole ioctl will fail, EINVAL
2.1) ioctl will succeed, the NOCOW flag will be silently removed, but the file
     will stay COW-ed and checksummed
2.2) ioctl will succeed, flag will not be removed and a syslog message will
     warn that the COW flag has not been changed
2.2.1) dtto, no syslog message

Man page of chattr states that

 "If it is set on a file which already has data blocks, it is undefined when
 the blocks assigned to the file will be fully stable."

Yes, it's undefined and with current implementation it'll never happen. So from
this end, the user cannot expect anything. I'm trying to find a reasonable
behaviour, so that a command like 'chattr -R -aijS +C' to tweak a broad set of
flags in a deep directory does not fail unnecessarily and does not pollute the
log.

My personal preference is 2.2.1, but my dev's oppinion is skewed, not counting
the fact that I know the code and otherwise would look there before consulting
the documentation.

The patch implements 2.2.1.

It's safe to turn off checksums for a zero sized file.

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/18030

"We cannot switch on NODATASUM for a file that already has extents that
are checksummed. The invariant here is that either all the extents or
none are checksummed.

Theoretically it's possible to add/remove all checksums from a given
file, but it's a potentially longtime operation, the file has to be in
some intermediate state where the checksums partially exist but have to
be ignored (for the csum->nocsum) until the file is fully converted,
this brings more special cases to extent handling, it has to survive
power failure and remain consistent, and probably needs to be restarted
after next mount."

I saw the warning in btrfs_drop_extent_cache where our end is less than our
start while running xfstests 68 in a loop.  This is because we
unconditionally do drop_end = min(end, extent_end) in
__btrfs_drop_extents(), even though we may not have found an extent in the
range we were looking to drop.  So keep track of wether or not we found
something, and if we didn't just use our end.  Thanks,

We do not need to do anything special to freeze or unfreeze, it's all taken

We can race when checking wether PagePrivate is set on a page and we
actually have an eb saved in the pages private pointer.  We could have
easily written out this page and released it in the time that we did the
pagevec lookup and actually got around to looking at this page.  So use
mapping->private_lock to ensure we get a consistent view of the
page->private pointer.  This is inline with the alloc and releasepage paths
which use private_lock when manipulating page->private.  Thanks,

Dave Sterba pointed out a sleeping while atomic bug while doing fsync.  This
is because I'm an idiot and didn't realize that rwlock's were spin locks, so
we've been holding this thing while doing allocations and such which is not
good.  This patch fixes this by dropping the write lock before we do
anything heavy and re-acquire it when it is done.  We also need to take a
ref on the em's in case their corresponding pages are evicted and mark them
as being logged so that releasepage does not remove them and doesn't remove
them from our local list.  Thanks,

So we start our freeze, somebody comes in and does an fsync() on a file
where we have to commit a transaction for whatever reason, and we will
deadlock because the freeze is waiting on FS_FREEZE people to stop writing
to the file system, but the transaction is waiting for its free space inodes
to be written out, which are in turn waiting on sb_start_intwrite while
trying to write the file extents.  To fix this we'll just skip the
sb_start_intwrite() if we TRANS_JOIN_NOLOCK since we're being waited on by a
transaction commit so we're safe wrt to freeze and this will keep us from
deadlocking.  Thanks,

I screwed this up, there is a race between checking if there is a running
transaction and actually starting a transaction in sync where we could race
with a freezer and get ourselves into trouble.  To fix this we need to make
a new join type to only do the try lock on the freeze stuff.  If it fails
we'll return EPERM and just return from sync.  This fixes a hang Liu Bo
reported when running xfstest 68 in a loop.  Thanks,

Everybody is just making stuff up, and it's just used to see if we really do
need to alloc a chunk, and since we do this when we already know we really
do it's just a waste of space.  Thanks,
Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <jbacik@fusionio.com>

So we have lots of places where we try to preallocate chunks in order to
make sure we have enough space as we make our allocations.  This has
historically meant that we're constantly tweaking when we should allocate a
new chunk, and historically we have gotten this horribly wrong so we way
over allocate either metadata or data.  To try and keep this from happening
we are going to make it so that the block group item insertion is done out
of band at the end of a transaction.  This will allow us to create chunks
even if we are trying to make an allocation for the extent tree.  With this
patch my enospc tests run faster (didn't expect this) and more efficiently
use the disk space (this is what I wanted).  Thanks,

For immutable bio vecs, I've been auditing and removing bi_idx
references. These were harmless, but removing them will make auditing
easier.

scrub_bio_end_io_worker() was open coding a bio_reset() - but this
doesn't appear to have been needed for anything as right after it does a
bio_put(), and perusing the code it doesn't appear anything else was
holding a reference to the bio.

The other use end_bio_extent_readpage() was just for a pr_debug() -
changed it to something that might be a bit more useful.

When we wrote some data by compress mode into a btrfs filesystem which was full
of the fragments, the kernel will report:
	BTRFS warning (device xxx): Aborting unused transaction.

The reason is:
We can not find a long enough free space to store the compressed data because
of the fragmentary free space, and the compressed data can not be splited,
so the kernel outputed the above message.

In fact, btrfs can deal with this problem very well: it fall back to
uncompressed IO, split the uncompressed data into small ones, and then
store them into to the fragmentary free space. So we shouldn't output the
above warning message.

This is the change of the kernel side.

Translation of logical to inode used to have an upper limit 4k on
inode container's size, but the limit is not large enough for a data
with a great many of refs, so when resolving logical address,
we can end up with
"ioctl ret=0, bytes_left=0, bytes_missing=19944, cnt=510, missed=2493"

This changes to regard 64k as the upper limit and use vmalloc instead of
kmalloc to get memory more easily.

When we delete a inode, we will remove all the delayed items including delayed
inode update, and then truncate all the relative metadata. If there is lots of
metadata, we will end the current transaction, and start a new transaction to
truncate the left metadata. In this way, we will leave a inode item that its
link counter is > 0, and also may leave some directory index items in fs/file tree
after the current transaction ends. In other words, the metadata in this fs/file tree
is inconsistent. If we create a snapshot for this tree now, we will find a inode with
corrupted metadata in the new snapshot, and we won't continue to drop the left metadata,
because its link counter is not 0.

We fix this problem by updating the inode item before the current transaction ends.

I noticed I was seeing large lags when running my torrent test in a vm on my

was taking into account the number of bytes we wanted to reclaim, not the
number of bytes we actually wanted to allocate, which means we wouldn't
overcommit as often.  This patch fixes the overcommit math and makes
shrink_delalloc() use that logic so that it will stop looping faster.  We
still have pretty high spikes of latency, but the test now takes 3 minutes

Mitch reported a problem where you could get an ENOSPC error when untarring
a kernel git tree onto a 16gb file system with compress-force=zlib.  This is
because compression is a huge pain, it will return from ->writepages()
without having actually created any ordered extents.  To get around this we
check to see if the async submit counter is up, and if it is wait until it
drops to 0 before doing our normal ordered wait dance.  With this patch I
can now untar a kernel git tree onto a 16gb file system without getting
ENOSPC errors.  Thanks,

When we ran fsstress(a program in xfstests), the filesystem hung up when it

btrfs_fallocate() just used the size of the pre-allocation to reserve the
space, didn't took the block size aligning into account, so the size of
the reserved space was less than the allocated space, it caused the over

Though we dump the stack information when aborting a unused transaction

Signed-off-by: Miao Xie <miaox@cn.fujitsu.com>

The snapshot should be the image of the fs tree before it was created,
so the metadata of the snapshot should not exist in the its tree. But now, we
found the directory item and directory name index is in both the snapshot tree
and the fs tree. It introduces some problems and makes the users feel strange:

 # mkfs.btrfs /dev/sda1
 # mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
 # mkdir /mnt/1
 # cd /mnt/1
 # btrfs subvolume snapshot /mnt snap0
 # ls -a /mnt/1/snap0/1
 .	..	[no other file/dir]

 # ll /mnt/1/snap0/
 total 0
 drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 10 Ju1 24 12:11 1
			^^^
			There is no file/dir in it, but it's size is 10

 # cd /mnt/1/snap0/1/snap0
 [Enter a unexisted directory successfully...]

There is nothing in the directory 1 in snap0, but btrfs told the length of
this directory is 10. Beside that, we can enter an unexisted directory, it is
very strange to the users.

 # btrfs subvolume snapshot /mnt/1/snap0 /mnt/snap1
 # ll /mnt/1/snap0/1/
 total 0
 [None]
 # ll /mnt/snap1/1/
 total 0
 drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 0 Ju1 24 12:14 snap0

And the source of snap1 did have any directory in Directory 1, but snap1 have
a snap0, it is different between the source and the snapshot.

So I think we should insert directory item and directory name index and update
the parent inode as the last step of snapshot creation, and do not leave the
useless metadata in the file tree.
