This is used by later qgroup fix patches for snapshot.

As current snapshot accounting is done by btrfs_qgroup_inherit(), but
new extent oriented quota mechanism will account extent from
btrfs_copy_root() and other snapshot things, causing wrong result.

So add this ability to handle snapshot accounting.

<title>Btrfs: fix -ENOSPC when finishing block group creation</title>

While creating a block group, we often end up getting ENOSPC while updating
the chunk tree, which leads to a transaction abortion that produces a trace
like the following:

This is because we don't do proper space reservation for the chunk block
reserve when we have multiple tasks allocating chunks in parallel.

So block group creation has 2 phases, and the first phase essentially
checks if there is enough space in the system space_info, allocating a
new system chunk if there isn't, while the second phase updates the
device, extent and chunk trees. However, because the updates to the
chunk tree happen in the second phase, if we have N tasks, each with
its own transaction handle, allocating new chunks in parallel and if
there is only enough space in the system space_info to allocate M chunks,
where M &lt; N, none of the tasks ends up allocating a new system chunk in
the first phase and N - M tasks will get -ENOSPC when attempting to
update the chunk tree in phase 2 if they need to COW any nodes/leafs
from the chunk tree.

Fix this by doing proper reservation in the chunk block reserve.

The issue could be reproduced by running fstests generic/038 in a loop,
which eventually triggered the problem.

We loop through all of the dirty block groups during commit and write
the free space cache.  In order to make sure the cache is currect, we do
this while no other writers are allowed in the commit.

If a large number of block groups are dirty, this can introduce long
stalls during the final stages of the commit, which can block new procs
trying to change the filesystem.

This commit changes the block group cache writeout to take appropriate
locks and allow it to run earlier in the commit.  We'll still have to
redo some of the block groups, but it means we can get most of the work
out of the way without blocking the entire FS.

<title>Btrfs: fix metadata inconsistencies after directory fsync</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.radix-linux.su/BMC/Intel-BMC/linux.git/commit/?id=2f2ff0ee5e4303e727cfd7abd4133d1a8ee68394'/>
<id>urn:sha1:2f2ff0ee5e4303e727cfd7abd4133d1a8ee68394</id>
<content type='text'>
We can get into inconsistency between inodes and directory entries
after fsyncing a directory. The issue is that while a directory gets
the new dentries persisted in the fsync log and replayed at mount time,
the link count of the inode that directory entries point to doesn't
get updated, staying with an incorrect link count (smaller then the
correct value). This later leads to stale file handle errors when
accessing (including attempt to delete) some of the links if all the
other ones are removed, which also implies impossibility to delete the
parent directories, since the dentries can not be removed.

Another issue is that (unlike ext3/4, xfs, f2fs, reiserfs, nilfs2),
when fsyncing a directory, new files aren't logged (their metadata and
dentries) nor any child directories. So this patch fixes this issue too,
since it has the same resolution as the incorrect inode link count issue
mentioned before.

This is very easy to reproduce, and the following excerpt from my test
case for xfstests shows how:

  _scratch_mkfs &gt;&gt; $seqres.full 2&gt;&amp;1
  _init_flakey
  _mount_flakey

  # Create our main test file and directory.
  $XFS_IO_PROG -f -c "pwrite -S 0xaa 0 8K" $SCRATCH_MNT/foo | _filter_xfs_io
  mkdir $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir

  # Make sure all metadata and data are durably persisted.
  sync

  # Add a hard link to 'foo' inside our test directory and fsync only the
  # directory. The btrfs fsync implementation had a bug that caused the new
  # directory entry to be visible after the fsync log replay but, the inode
  # of our file remained with a link count of 1.
  ln $SCRATCH_MNT/foo $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/foo_2

  # Add a few more links and new files.
  # This is just to verify nothing breaks or gives incorrect results after the
  # fsync log is replayed.
  ln $SCRATCH_MNT/foo $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/foo_3
  $XFS_IO_PROG -f -c "pwrite -S 0xff 0 64K" $SCRATCH_MNT/hello | _filter_xfs_io
  ln $SCRATCH_MNT/hello $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/hello_2

  # Add some subdirectories and new files and links to them. This is to verify
  # that after fsyncing our top level directory 'mydir', all the subdirectories
  # and their files/links are registered in the fsync log and exist after the
  # fsync log is replayed.
  mkdir -p $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/x/y/z
  ln $SCRATCH_MNT/foo $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/x/y/foo_y_link
  ln $SCRATCH_MNT/foo $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/x/y/z/foo_z_link
  touch $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/x/y/z/qwerty

  # Now fsync only our top directory.
  $XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir

  # And fsync now our new file named 'hello', just to verify later that it has
  # the expected content and that the previous fsync on the directory 'mydir' had
  # no bad influence on this fsync.
  $XFS_IO_PROG -c "fsync" $SCRATCH_MNT/hello

  # Simulate a crash/power loss.
  _load_flakey_table $FLAKEY_DROP_WRITES
  _unmount_flakey

  _load_flakey_table $FLAKEY_ALLOW_WRITES
  _mount_flakey

  # Verify the content of our file 'foo' remains the same as before, 8192 bytes,
  # all with the value 0xaa.
  echo "File 'foo' content after log replay:"
  od -t x1 $SCRATCH_MNT/foo

  # Remove the first name of our inode. Because of the directory fsync bug, the
  # inode's link count was 1 instead of 5, so removing the 'foo' name ended up
  # deleting the inode and the other names became stale directory entries (still
  # visible to applications). Attempting to remove or access the remaining
  # dentries pointing to that inode resulted in stale file handle errors and
  # made it impossible to remove the parent directories since it was impossible
  # for them to become empty.
  echo "file 'foo' link count after log replay: $(stat -c %h $SCRATCH_MNT/foo)"
  rm -f $SCRATCH_MNT/foo

  # Now verify that all files, links and directories created before fsyncing our
  # directory exist after the fsync log was replayed.
  [ -f $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/foo_2 ] || echo "Link mydir/foo_2 is missing"
  [ -f $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/foo_3 ] || echo "Link mydir/foo_3 is missing"
  [ -f $SCRATCH_MNT/hello ] || echo "File hello is missing"
  [ -f $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/hello_2 ] || echo "Link mydir/hello_2 is missing"
  [ -f $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/x/y/foo_y_link ] || \
      echo "Link mydir/x/y/foo_y_link is missing"
  [ -f $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/x/y/z/foo_z_link ] || \
      echo "Link mydir/x/y/z/foo_z_link is missing"
  [ -f $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/x/y/z/qwerty ] || \
      echo "File mydir/x/y/z/qwerty is missing"

  # We expect our file here to have a size of 64Kb and all the bytes having the
  # value 0xff.
  echo "file 'hello' content after log replay:"
  od -t x1 $SCRATCH_MNT/hello

  # Now remove all files/links, under our test directory 'mydir', and verify we
  # can remove all the directories.
  rm -f $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/x/y/z/*
  rmdir $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/x/y/z
  rm -f $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/x/y/*
  rmdir $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/x/y
  rmdir $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/x
  rm -f $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir/*
  rmdir $SCRATCH_MNT/mydir

  # An fsck, run by the fstests framework everytime a test finishes, also detected
  # the inconsistency and printed the following error message:
  #
  # root 5 inode 257 errors 2001, no inode item, link count wrong
  #    unresolved ref dir 258 index 2 namelen 5 name foo_2 filetype 1 errors 4, no inode ref
  #    unresolved ref dir 258 index 3 namelen 5 name foo_3 filetype 1 errors 4, no inode ref

  status=0
  exit

The expected golden output for the test is:

  wrote 8192/8192 bytes at offset 0
  XXX Bytes, X ops; XX:XX:XX.X (XXX YYY/sec and XXX ops/sec)
  wrote 65536/65536 bytes at offset 0
  XXX Bytes, X ops; XX:XX:XX.X (XXX YYY/sec and XXX ops/sec)
  File 'foo' content after log replay:
  0000000 aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa

  0020000
  file 'foo' link count after log replay: 5
  file 'hello' content after log replay:
  0000000 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
  *
  0200000

Which is the output after this patch and when running the test against
ext3/4, xfs, f2fs, reiserfs or nilfs2. Without this patch, the test's
output is:

  wrote 8192/8192 bytes at offset 0
  XXX Bytes, X ops; XX:XX:XX.X (XXX YYY/sec and XXX ops/sec)
  wrote 65536/65536 bytes at offset 0

  File 'foo' content after log replay:
  0000000 aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa aa

  file 'foo' link count after log replay: 1
  Link mydir/foo_2 is missing
  Link mydir/foo_3 is missing
  Link mydir/x/y/foo_y_link is missing
  Link mydir/x/y/z/foo_z_link is missing
  File mydir/x/y/z/qwerty is missing
  file 'hello' content after log replay:
  0000000 ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
  *
  0200000
  rmdir: failed to remove '/home/fdmanana/btrfs-tests/scratch_1/mydir/x/y/z': No such file or directory
  rmdir: failed to remove '/home/fdmanana/btrfs-tests/scratch_1/mydir/x/y': No such file or directory
  rmdir: failed to remove '/home/fdmanana/btrfs-tests/scratch_1/mydir/x': No such file or directory
  rm: cannot remove '/home/fdmanana/btrfs-tests/scratch_1/mydir/foo_2': Stale file handle
  rm: cannot remove '/home/fdmanana/btrfs-tests/scratch_1/mydir/foo_3': Stale file handle
  rmdir: failed to remove '/home/fdmanana/btrfs-tests/scratch_1/mydir': Directory not empty

Fsck, without this fix, also complains about the wrong link count:

  root 5 inode 257 errors 2001, no inode item, link count wrong
      unresolved ref dir 258 index 2 namelen 5 name foo_2 filetype 1 errors 4, no inode ref
      unresolved ref dir 258 index 3 namelen 5 name foo_3 filetype 1 errors 4, no inode ref

So fix this by logging the inodes that the dentries point to when
fsyncing a directory.

A test case for xfstests follows.

<content type='text'>
Btrfs will report NO_SPACE when we create and remove files for several times,
and we can't write to filesystem until mount it again.

Steps to reproduce:
 1: Create a single-dev btrfs fs with default option
 2: Write a file into it to take up most fs space
 3: Delete above file
 4: Wait about 100s to let chunk removed
 5: goto 2

Script is like following:
 #!/bin/bash

 # Recommend 1.2G space, too large disk will make test slow
 DEV="/dev/sda16"
 MNT="/mnt/tmp"

 dev_size="$(lsblk -bn -o SIZE "$DEV")" || exit 2
 file_size_m=$((dev_size * 75 / 100 / 1024 / 1024))

 echo "Loop write ${file_size_m}M file on $((dev_size / 1024 / 1024))M dev"

 for ((i = 0; i &lt; 10; i++)); do umount "$MNT" 2&gt;/dev/null; done
 echo "mkfs $DEV"
 mkfs.btrfs -f "$DEV" &gt;/dev/null || exit 2
 echo "mount $DEV $MNT"
 mount "$DEV" "$MNT" || exit 2

 for ((loop_i = 0; loop_i &lt; 20; loop_i++)); do
     echo
     echo "loop $loop_i"

     echo "dd file..."
     cmd=(dd if=/dev/zero of="$MNT"/file0 bs=1M count="$file_size_m")
     "${cmd[@]}" 2&gt;/dev/null || {
         # NO_SPACE error triggered
         echo "dd failed: ${cmd[*]}"
         exit 1
     }

     echo "rm file..."
     rm -f "$MNT"/file0 || exit 2

     for ((i = 0; i &lt; 10; i++)); do
         df "$MNT" | tail -1
         sleep 10
     done
 done

Reason:
 It is triggered by commit: 47ab2a6c689913db23ccae38349714edf8365e0a
 which is used to remove empty block groups automatically, but the
 reason is not in that patch. Code before works well because btrfs
 don't need to create and delete chunks so many times with high
 complexity.
 Above bug is caused by many reason, any of them can trigger it.

Reason1:
 When we remove some continuous chunks but leave other chunks after,
 these disk space should be used by chunk-recreating, but in current
 code, only first create will successed.
 Fixed by Forrest Liu &lt;forrestl@synology.com&gt; in:
 Btrfs: fix find_free_dev_extent() malfunction in case device tree has hole

Reason2:
 contains_pending_extent() return wrong value in calculation.
 Fixed by Forrest Liu &lt;forrestl@synology.com&gt; in:
 Btrfs: fix find_free_dev_extent() malfunction in case device tree has hole

Reason3:
 btrfs_check_data_free_space() try to commit transaction and retry
 allocating chunk when the first allocating failed, but space_info-&gt;full
 is set in first allocating, and prevent second allocating in retry.
 Fixed in this patch by clear space_info-&gt;full in commit transaction.

 Tested for severial times by above script.

Changelog v3-&gt;v4:
 use light weight int instead of atomic_t to record have_remove_bgs in
 transaction, suggested by:
 Josef Bacik &lt;jbacik@fb.com&gt;

Changelog v2-&gt;v3:
 v2 fixed the bug by adding more commit-transaction, but we
 only need to reclaim space when we are really have no space for
 new chunk, noticed by:
 Filipe David Manana &lt;fdmanana@gmail.com&gt;

 Actually, our code already have this type of commit-and-retry,
 we only need to make it working with removed-bgs.
 v3 fixed the bug with above way.

Changelog v1-&gt;v2:
 v1 will introduce a new bug when delete and create chunk in same disk
 space in same transaction, noticed by:
 Filipe David Manana &lt;fdmanana@gmail.com&gt;
 V2 fix this bug by commit transaction after remove block grops.

<content type='text'>
Currently any time we try to update the block groups on disk we will walk _all_
block groups and check for the -&gt;dirty flag to see if it is set.  This function
can get called several times during a commit.  So if you have several terabytes
of data you will be a very sad panda as we will loop through _all_ of the block
groups several times, which makes the commit take a while which slows down the
rest of the file system operations.

This patch introduces a dirty list for the block groups that we get added to
when we dirty the block group for the first time.  Then we simply update any
block groups that have been dirtied since the last time we called
btrfs_write_dirty_block_groups.  This allows us to clean up how we write the
free space cache out so it is much cleaner.  Thanks,

Liu Bo pointed out that my previous fix would lose the generation update in the
scenario I described.  It is actually much worse than that, we could lose the
entire extent if we lose power right after the transaction commits.  Consider
the following

write extent 0-4k
log extent in log tree
commit transaction
	&lt; power fail happens here
ordered extent completes

We would lose the 0-4k extent because it hasn't updated the actual fs tree, and
the transaction commit will reset the log so it isn't replayed.  If we lose
power before the transaction commit we are save, otherwise we are not.

Fix this by keeping track of all extents we logged in this transaction.  Then
when we go to commit the transaction make sure we wait for all of those ordered
extents to complete before proceeding.  This will make sure that if we lose
power after the transaction commit we still have our data.  This also fixes the
problem of the improperly updated extent generation.  Thanks,

<title>Btrfs: deal with convert_extent_bit errors to avoid fs corruption</title>

When committing a transaction or a log, we look for btree extents that
need to be durably persisted by searching for ranges in a io tree that
have some bits set (EXTENT_DIRTY or EXTENT_NEW). We then attempt to clear
those bits and set the EXTENT_NEED_WAIT bit, with calls to the function
convert_extent_bit, and then start writeback for the extents.

That function however can return an error (at the moment only -ENOMEM
is possible, specially when it does GFP_ATOMIC allocation requests
through alloc_extent_state_atomic) - that means the ranges didn't got
the EXTENT_NEED_WAIT bit set (or at least not for the whole range),
which in turn means a call to btrfs_wait_marked_extents() won't find
those ranges for which we started writeback, causing a transaction
commit or a log commit to persist a new superblock without waiting
for the writeback of extents in that range to finish first.

Therefore if a crash happens after persisting the new superblock and
before writeback finishes, we have a superblock pointing to roots that
weren't fully persisted or roots that point to nodes or leafs that weren't
fully persisted, causing all sorts of unexpected/bad behaviour as we endup
reading garbage from disk or the content of some node/leaf from a past
generation that got cowed or deleted and is no longer valid (for this later
case we end up getting error messages like "parent transid verify failed on
X wanted Y found Z" when reading btree nodes/leafs from disk).
