btrfs: get rid of compressed_bio::compressed_folios[]

2026-02-03T06:59:07+00:00

Now there is no one utilizing that member, we can safely remove it along with compressed_bio::nr_folios member. The size is reduced from 352 to 336 bytes on x86_64. Reviewed-by: Boris Burkov Signed-off-by: Qu Wenruo Reviewed-by: David Sterba Signed-off-by: David Sterba

btrfs: get rid of compressed_folios[] usage for encoded writes

2026-02-03T06:59:07+00:00

Currently only encoded writes utilized btrfs_submit_compressed_write(), which utilized compressed_bio::compressed_folios[] array. Change the only call site to call the new helper, btrfs_alloc_compressed_write(), to allocate a compressed bio, then queue needed folios into that bio, and finally call btrfs_submit_compressed_write() to submit the compressed bio. This change has one hidden benefit, previously we used btrfs_alloc_folio_array() for the folios of btrfs_submit_compressed_read(), which doesn't utilize the compression page pool for bs == ps cases. Now we call btrfs_alloc_compr_folio() which will benefit from the page pool. The other obvious benefit is that we no longer need to allocate an array to hold all those folios, thus one less error path.

btrfs: introduce btrfs_compress_bio() helper

2026-02-03T06:59:06+00:00

The helper will allocate a new compressed_bio, do the compression, and return it to the caller. This greatly simplifies the compression path, as we no longer need to allocate a folio array thus no extra error path, furthermore the compressed bio structure can be utilized for submission with very minor modifications (like rounding up the bi_size and populate the bi_sector).

btrfs: zlib: introduce zlib_compress_bio() helper

2026-02-03T06:59:06+00:00

The new helper has the following enhancements against the existing zlib_compress_folios() - Much smaller parameter list No more shared IN/OUT members, no need to pre-allocate a compressed_folios[] array. Just a workspace and compressed_bio pointer, everything we need can be extracted from that @cb pointer. - Ready-to-be-submitted compressed bio Although the caller still needs to do some common works like rounding up and zeroing the tailing part of the last fs block.

btrfs: zstd: introduce zstd_compress_bio() helper

2026-02-03T06:59:06+00:00

Just a workspace and compressed_bio pointer, everything we need can be extracted from that @cb pointer. - Ready-to-be-submitted compressed bio Although the caller still needs to do some common works like rounding up and zeroing the tailing part of the last fs block. Overall the workflow is the same as zstd_compress_folios(), but with some minor changes: - @start/@len is now constant For the current input file offset, use @start + @tot_in instead. The original change of @start and @len makes it pretty hard to know what value we're really comparing to. - No more @cur_len It's only utilized when switching input buffer. Directly use btrfs_calc_input_length() instead. Reviewed-by: Boris Burkov Signed-off-by: Qu Wenruo Reviewed-by: David Sterba Signed-off-by: David Sterba

btrfs: lzo: introduce lzo_compress_bio() helper

2026-02-03T06:59:06+00:00

The new helper has the following enhancements against the existing lzo_compress_folios() - Much smaller parameter list No more shared IN/OUT members, no need to pre-allocate a compressed_folios[] array. Just a workspace list header and a compressed_bio pointer. Everything else can be fetched from that @cb pointer. - Read-to-be-submitted compressed bio Although the caller still needs to do some common works like rounding up and zeroing the tailing part of the last fs block. Some workloads are specific to lZO that is not needed with other multi-run compression interfaces: - Need to write a LZO header or segment header Use the new write_and_queue_folio() helper to do the bio_add_folio() call and folio switching. - Need to update the LZO header after compression is done Use bio_first_folio_all() to grab the first folio and update the header. - Extra corner case of error handling This can happen when we have queued part of a folio and hit an error. In that case those folios will be released by the bio. Thus we can only release the folio that has no queued part.

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba: "Features: - shutdown ioctl support (needs CONFIG_BTRFS_EXPERIMENTAL for now): - set filesystem state as being shut down (also named going down in other filesystems), where all active operations return EIO and this cannot be changed until unmount - pending operations are attempted to be finished but error messages may still show up depending on where exactly the shutdown happened - scrub (and device replace) vs suspend/hibernate: - a running scrub will prevent suspend, which can be annoying as suspend is an immediate request and scrub is not critical - filesystem freezing before suspend was not sufficient as the problem was in process freezing - behaviour change: on suspend scrub and device replace are cancelled, where scrub can record the last state and continue from there; the device replace has to be restarted from the beginning - zone stats exported in sysfs, from the perspective of the filesystem this includes active, reclaimable, relocation etc zones Performance: - improvements when processing space reservation tickets by optimizing locking and shrinking critical sections, cumulative improvements in lockstat numbers show +15% Notable fixes: - use vmalloc fallback when allocating bios as high order allocations can happen with wide checksums (like sha256) - scrub will always track the last position of progress so it's not starting from zero after an error Core: - under experimental config, checksum calculations are offloaded to process context, simplifies locking and allows to remove compression write worker kthread(s): - speed improvement in direct IO throughput with buffered IO fallback is +15% when not offloaded but this is more related to internal crypto subsystem improvements - this will be probably default in the future removing the sysfs tunable - (experimental) block size > page size updates: - support more operations when not using large folios (encoded read/write and send) - raid56 - more preparations for fscrypt support Other: - more conversions to auto-cleaned variables - parameter cleanups and removals - extended warning fixes - improved printing of structured values like keys - lots of other cleanups and refactoring" * tag 'for-6.19-tag' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kdave/linux: (147 commits) btrfs: remove unnecessary inode key in btrfs_log_all_parents() btrfs: remove redundant zero/NULL initializations in btrfs_alloc_root() btrfs: remaining BTRFS_PATH_AUTO_FREE conversions btrfs: send: do not allocate memory for xattr data when checking it exists btrfs: send: add unlikely to all unexpected overflow checks btrfs: reduce arguments to btrfs_del_inode_ref_in_log() btrfs: remove root argument from btrfs_del_dir_entries_in_log() btrfs: use test_and_set_bit() in btrfs_delayed_delete_inode_ref() btrfs: don't search back for dir inode item in INO_LOOKUP_USER btrfs: don't rewrite ret from inode_permission btrfs: add orig_logical to btrfs_bio for encryption btrfs: disable verity on encrypted inodes btrfs: disable various operations on encrypted inodes btrfs: remove redundant level reset in btrfs_del_items() btrfs: simplify leaf traversal after path release in btrfs_next_old_leaf() btrfs: optimize balance_level() path reference handling btrfs: factor out root promotion logic into promote_child_to_root() btrfs: raid56: remove the "_step" infix btrfs: raid56: enable bs > ps support btrfs: raid56: prepare finish_parity_scrub() to support bs > ps cases ...

btrfs: fix incomplete parameter rename in btrfs_decompress()

Commit 2c25716dcc25 ("btrfs: zlib: fix and simplify the inline extent decompression") renamed the 'start_byte' parameter to 'dest_pgoff' in the btrfs_decompress(). The remaining 'start_byte' references are inconsistent with the actual implementation and may cause confusion for developers. Ensure consistency between function declaration and implementation.

btrfs: remove btrfs_fs_info::compressed_write_workers

2025-11-24T21:42:19+00:00

The reason why end_bbio_compressed_write() queues a work into compressed_write_workers wq is for end_compressed_writeback() call, as it will grab all the involved folios and clear the writeback flags, which may sleep. However now we always run btrfs_bio::end_io() in task context, there is no need to queue the work anymore. Just remove btrfs_fs_info::compressed_write_workers and compressed_bio::write_end_work. There is a comment about the works queued into compressed_write_workers, now change to flush endio wq instead, which is responsible to handle all data endio functions.
