Btrfs: Split the extent_map code into two parts

There is now extent_map for mapping offsets in the file to disk and
extent_io for state tracking, IO submission and extent_bufers.

The new extent_map code shifts from [start,end] pairs to [start,len], and
pushes the locking out into the caller. This allows a few performance
optimizations and is easier to use.

A number of extent_map usage bugs were fixed, mostly with failing
to remove extent_map entries when changing the file.

btrfs: fix race between marking inode needs to be logged and log syncing

commit bc0939fcfab0d7efb2ed12896b1af3d819954a14 upstream.

We have a race between marking that an inode needs to be logged, either
at btrfs_set_inode_last_trans() or at btrfs_page_mkwrite(), and between
btrfs_sync_log(). The following steps describe how the race happens.

1) We are at transaction N;

2) Inode I was previously fsynced in the current transaction so it has:

inode->logged_trans set to N;

3) The inode's root currently has:

root->log_transid set to 1
root->last_log_commit set to 0

Which means only one log transaction was committed to far, log
transaction 0. When a log tree is created we set ->log_transid and
->last_log_commit of its parent root to 0 (at btrfs_add_log_tree());

4) One more range of pages is dirtied in inode I;

5) Some task A starts an fsync against some other inode J (same root), and
so it joins log transaction 1.

Before task A calls btrfs_sync_log()...

6) Task B starts an fsync against inode I, which currently has the full
sync flag set, so it starts delalloc and waits for the ordered extent
to complete before calling btrfs_inode_in_log() at btrfs_sync_file();

7) During ordered extent completion we have btrfs_update_inode() called
against inode I, which in turn calls btrfs_set_inode_last_trans(),
which does the following:

spin_lock(&inode->lock);
inode->last_trans = trans->transaction->transid;
inode->last_sub_trans = inode->root->log_transid;
inode->last_log_commit = inode->root->last_log_commit;
spin_unlock(&inode->lock);

So ->last_trans is set to N and ->last_sub_trans set to 1.
But before setting ->last_log_commit...

8) Task A is at btrfs_sync_log():

- it increments root->log_transid to 2
- starts writeback for all log tree extent buffers
- waits for the writeback to complete
- writes the super blocks
- updates root->last_log_commit to 1

It's a lot of slow steps between updating root->log_transid and
root->last_log_commit;

9) The task doing the ordered extent completion, currently at
btrfs_set_inode_last_trans(), then finally runs:

inode->last_log_commit = inode->root->last_log_commit;
spin_unlock(&inode->lock);

Which results in inode->last_log_commit being set to 1.
The ordered extent completes;

10) Task B is resumed, and it calls btrfs_inode_in_log() which returns
true because we have all the following conditions met:

inode->logged_trans == N which matches fs_info->generation &&
inode->last_subtrans (1) <= inode->last_log_commit (1) &&
inode->last_subtrans (1) <= root->last_log_commit (1) &&
list inode->extent_tree.modified_extents is empty

And as a consequence we return without logging the inode, so the
existing logged version of the inode does not point to the extent
that was written after the previous fsync.

It should be impossible in practice for one task be able to do so much
progress in btrfs_sync_log() while another task is at
btrfs_set_inode_last_trans() right after it reads root->log_transid and
before it reads root->last_log_commit. Even if kernel preemption is enabled
we know the task at btrfs_set_inode_last_trans() can not be preempted
because it is holding the inode's spinlock.

However there is another place where we do the same without holding the
spinlock, which is in the memory mapped write path at:

vm_fault_t btrfs_page_mkwrite(struct vm_fault *vmf)
{
(...)
BTRFS_I(inode)->last_trans = fs_info->generation;
BTRFS_I(inode)->last_sub_trans = BTRFS_I(inode)->root->log_transid;
BTRFS_I(inode)->last_log_commit = BTRFS_I(inode)->root->last_log_commit;
(...)

So with preemption happening after setting ->last_sub_trans and before
setting ->last_log_commit, it is less of a stretch to have another task
do enough progress at btrfs_sync_log() such that the task doing the memory
mapped write ends up with ->last_sub_trans and ->last_log_commit set to
the same value. It is still a big stretch to get there, as the task doing
btrfs_sync_log() has to start writeback, wait for its completion and write
the super blocks.

So fix this in two different ways:

1) For btrfs_set_inode_last_trans(), simply set ->last_log_commit to the
value of ->last_sub_trans minus 1;

2) For btrfs_page_mkwrite() only set the inode's ->last_sub_trans, just
like we do for buffered and direct writes at btrfs_file_write_iter(),
which is all we need to make sure multiple writes and fsyncs to an
inode in the same transaction never result in an fsync missing that
the inode changed and needs to be logged. Turn this into a helper
function and use it both at btrfs_page_mkwrite() and at
btrfs_file_write_iter() - this also fixes the problem that at
btrfs_page_mkwrite() we were setting those fields without the
protection of the inode's spinlock.

This is an extremely unlikely race to happen in practice.

btrfs: fix deadlock when cloning inline extent and low on free metadata space

btrfs: fix deadlock when cloning inline extent and low on free metadata space

[ Upstream commit 3d45f221ce627d13e2e6ef3274f06750c84a6542 ]

When cloning an inline extent there are cases where we can not just copy
the inline extent from the source range to the target range (e.g. when the
target range starts at an offset greater than zero). In such cases we copy
the inline extent's data into a page of the destination inode and then
dirty that page. However, after that we will need to start a transaction
for each processed extent and, if we are ever low on available metadata
space, we may need to flush existing delalloc for all dirty inodes in an
attempt to release metadata space - if that happens we may deadlock:

* the async reclaim task queued a delalloc work to flush delalloc for
the destination inode of the clone operation;

* the task executing that delalloc work gets blocked waiting for the
range with the dirty page to be unlocked, which is currently locked
by the task doing the clone operation;

* the async reclaim task blocks waiting for the delalloc work to complete;

* the cloning task is waiting on the waitqueue of its reservation ticket
while holding the range with the dirty page locked in the inode's
io_tree;

* if metadata space is not released by some other task (like delalloc for
some other inode completing for example), the clone task waits forever
and as a consequence the delalloc work and async reclaim tasks will hang
forever as well. Releasing more space on the other hand may require
starting a transaction, which will hang as well when trying to reserve
metadata space, resulting in a deadlock between all these tasks.

When this happens, traces like the following show up in dmesg/syslog:

task above, because the async reclaim task has deadlocked >
(...)

Another thing to notice is that the worker task that is deadlocked when
trying to flush the destination inode of the clone operation is at
btrfs_invalidatepage(). This is simply because the clone operation has a
destination offset greater than the i_size and we only update the i_size
of the destination file after cloning an extent (just like we do in the
buffered write path).

Since the async reclaim path uses btrfs_start_delalloc_roots() to trigger
the flushing of delalloc for all inodes that have delalloc, add a runtime
flag to an inode to signal it should not be flushed, and for inodes with
that flag set, start_delalloc_inodes() will simply skip them. When the
cloning code needs to dirty a page to copy an inline extent, set that flag
on the inode and then clear it when the clone operation finishes.

This could be sporadically triggered with test case generic/269 from
fstests, which exercises many fsstress processes running in parallel with
several dd processes filling up the entire filesystem.

btrfs: skip unnecessary searches for xattrs when logging an inode

btrfs: skip unnecessary searches for xattrs when logging an inode

[ Upstream commit f2f121ab500d0457cc9c6f54269d21ffdf5bd304 ]

Every time we log an inode we lookup in the fs/subvol tree for xattrs and
if we have any, log them into the log tree. However it is very common to
have inodes without any xattrs, so doing the search wastes times, but more
importantly it adds contention on the fs/subvol tree locks, either making
the logging code block and wait for tree locks or making the logging code
making other concurrent operations block and wait.

The most typical use cases where xattrs are used are when capabilities or
ACLs are defined for an inode, or when SELinux is enabled.

This change makes the logging code detect when an inode does not have
xattrs and skip the xattrs search the next time the inode is logged,
unless the inode is evicted and loaded again or a xattr is added to the
inode. Therefore skipping the search for xattrs on inodes that don't ever
have xattrs and are fsynced with some frequency.

The following script that calls dbench was used to measure the impact of
this change on a VM with 8 CPUs, 16Gb of ram, using a raw NVMe device
directly (no intermediary filesystem on the host) and using a non-debug
kernel (default configuration on Debian distributions):

btrfs: rename BTRFS_INODE_ORDERED_DATA_CLOSE flag

Commit 8d875f95da43 ("btrfs: disable strict file flushes for
renames and truncates") eliminated the notion of ordered operations and
instead BTRFS_INODE_ORDERED_DATA_CLOSE only remained as a flag
indicating that a file's content should be synced to disk in case a
file is truncated and any writes happen to it concurrently. In fact
this intendend behavior was broken until it was fixed in
f6dc45c7a93a ("Btrfs: fix filemap_flush call in btrfs_file_release").

All things considered let's give the flag a more descriptive name. Also
slightly reword comments.

btrfs: make fast fsyncs wait only for writeback

Currently regardless of a full or a fast fsync we always wait for ordered
extents to complete, and then start logging the inode after that

btrfs: make fast fsyncs wait only for writeback

Currently regardless of a full or a fast fsync we always wait for ordered
extents to complete, and then start logging the inode after that. However
for fast fsyncs we can just wait for the writeback to complete, we don't
need to wait for the ordered extents to complete since we use the list of
modified extents maps to figure out which extents we must log and we can
get their checksums directly from the ordered extents that are still in
flight, otherwise look them up from the checksums tree.

Until commit b5e6c3e170b770 ("btrfs: always wait on ordered extents at
fsync time"), for fast fsyncs, we used to start logging without even
waiting for the writeback to complete first, we would wait for it to
complete after logging, while holding a transaction open, which lead to
performance issues when using cgroups and probably for other cases too,
as wait for IO while holding a transaction handle should be avoided as
much as possible. After that, for fast fsyncs, we started to wait for
ordered extents to complete before starting to log, which adds some
latency to fsyncs and we even got at least one report about a performance
drop which bisected to that particular change:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/20181109215148.GF23260@techsingularity.net/

This change makes fast fsyncs only wait for writeback to finish before
starting to log the inode, instead of waiting for both the writeback to
finish and for the ordered extents to complete. This brings back part of
the logic we had that extracts checksums from in flight ordered extents,
which are not yet in the checksums tree, and making sure transaction
commits wait for the completion of ordered extents previously logged
(by far most of the time they have already completed by the time a
transaction commit starts, resulting in no wait at all), to avoid any
data loss if an ordered extent completes after the transaction used to
log an inode is committed, followed by a power failure.

When there are no other tasks accessing the checksums and the subvolume
btrees, the ordered extent completion is pretty fast, typically taking
100 to 200 microseconds only in my observations. However when there are
other tasks accessing these btrees, ordered extent completion can take a
lot more time due to lock contention on nodes and leaves of these btrees.
I've seen cases over 2 milliseconds, which starts to be significant. In
particular when we do have concurrent fsyncs against different files there
is a lot of contention on the checksums btree, since we have many tasks
writing the checksums into the btree and other tasks that already started
the logging phase are doing lookups for checksums in the btree.

This change also turns all ranged fsyncs into full ranged fsyncs, which
is something we already did when not using the NO_HOLES features or when
doing a full fsync. This is to guarantee we never miss checksums due to
writeback having been triggered only for a part of an extent, and we end
up logging the full extent but only checksums for the written range, which
results in missing checksums after log replay. Allowing ranged fsyncs to
operate again only in the original range, when using the NO_HOLES feature
and doing a fast fsync is doable but requires some non trivial changes to
the writeback path, which can always be worked on later if needed, but I
don't think they are a very common use case.

Several tests were performed using fio for different numbers of concurrent
jobs, each writing and fsyncing its own file, for both sequential and
random file writes. The tests were run on bare metal, no virtualization,
on a box with 12 cores (Intel i7-8700), 64Gb of RAM and a NVMe device,
with a kernel configuration that is the default of typical distributions
(debian in this case), without debug options enabled (kasan, kmemleak,
slub debug, debug of page allocations, lock debugging, etc).

The following script that calls fio was used:

$ cat test-fsync.sh
#!/bin/bash

DEV=/dev/nvme0n1
MNT=/mnt/btrfs
MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o ssd -o space_cache=v2"

btrfs: reduce contention on log trees when logging checksums

btrfs: reduce contention on log trees when logging checksums

The possibility of extents being shared (through clone and deduplication
operations) requires special care when logging data checksums, to avoid
having a log tree with different checksum items that cover ranges which
overlap (which resulted in missing checksums after replaying a log tree).
Such problems were fixed in the past by the following commits:

commit 40e046acbd2f ("Btrfs: fix missing data checksums after replaying a
log tree")

commit e289f03ea79b ("btrfs: fix corrupt log due to concurrent fsync of
inodes with shared extents")

Test case generic/588 exercises the scenario solved by the first commit
(purely sequential and deterministic) while test case generic/457 often
triggered the case fixed by the second commit (not deterministic, requires
specific timings under concurrency).

The problems were addressed by deleting, from the log tree, any existing
checksums before logging the new ones. And also by doing the deletion and
logging of the cheksums while locking the checksum range in an extent io
tree (root->log_csum_range), to deal with the case where we have concurrent
fsyncs against files with shared extents.

That however causes more contention on the leaves of a log tree where we
store checksums (and all the nodes in the paths leading to them), even
when we do not have shared extents, or all the shared extents were created
by past transactions. It also adds a bit of contention on the spin lock of
the log_csums_range extent io tree of the log root.

This change adds a 'last_reflink_trans' field to the inode to keep track
of the last transaction where a new extent was shared between inodes
(through clone and deduplication operations). It is updated for both the
source and destination inodes of reflink operations whenever a new extent
(created in the current transaction) becomes shared by the inodes. This
field is kept in memory only, not persisted in the inode item, similar
to other existing fields (last_unlink_trans, logged_trans).

When logging checksums for an extent, if the value of 'last_reflink_trans'
is smaller then the current transaction's generation/id, we skip locking
the extent range and deletion of checksums from the log tree, since we
know we do not have new shared extents. This reduces contention on the
log tree's leaves where checksums are stored.

The following script, which uses fio, was used to measure the impact of
this change:

$ cat test-fsync.sh
#!/bin/bash

DEV=/dev/sdk
MNT=/mnt/sdk
MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o ssd"
MKFS_OPTIONS="-d single -m single"

fio /tmp/fio-job.ini
umount $MNT

The tests were performed for different numbers of jobs, file sizes and
fsync frequency. A qemu VM using kvm was used, with 8 cores (the host has
12 cores, with cpu governance set to performance mode on all cores), 16GiB
of ram (the host has 64GiB) and using a NVMe device directly (without an
intermediary filesystem in the host). While running the tests, the host
was not used for anything else, to avoid disturbing the tests.

The obtained results were the following (the last line of fio's output was
pasted). Starting with 16 jobs is where a significant difference is
observable in this particular setup and hardware (differences highlighted
below). The very small differences for tests with less than 16 jobs are
possibly just noise and random.

This reverts commit 5f008163a559d566a0ee1190a0a24f3eec6f1ea7.

The patch is a simplification after direct IO port to iomap
infrastructure, which gets reverted.

btrfs: remove BTRFS_INODE_READDIO_NEED_LOCK

Since we now perform direct reads using i_rwsem, we can remove this
inode flag used to co-ordinate unlocked reads.

btrfs: remove BTRFS_INODE_READDIO_NEED_LOCK

Since we now perform direct reads using i_rwsem, we can remove this
inode flag used to co-ordinate unlocked reads.

The truncate call takes i_rwsem. This means it is correctly synchronized
with concurrent direct reads.

btrfs: get rid of one layer of bios in direct I/O

In the worst case, there are _4_ layers of bios in the Btrfs direct I/O
path:

1. The bio created by the generic direct I/O code (dio_bio).
2. A clone of dio_bio we create in btrfs_submit_direct() to represent
the entire direct I/O range (orig_bio).
3. A partial clone of orig_bio limited to the size of a RAID stripe that
we create in btrfs_submit_direct_hook().
4. Clones of each of those split bios for each RAID stripe that we
create in btrfs_map_bio().

As of the previous commit, the second layer (orig_bio) is no longer
needed for anything: we can split dio_bio instead, and complete dio_bio
directly when all of the cloned bios complete. This lets us clean up a
bunch of cruft, including dip->subio_endio and dip->errors (we can use
dio_bio->bi_status instead). It also enables the next big cleanup of
direct I/O read repair.
