<id>urn:sha1:3b8dbf3425cfe3dcfdc026fcd7f8e1c0dd95b248</id>
<content type='text'>
We have several headers that are including themselves, triggering clangd
warnings.
Such includes are caused by commit 602035d7fecf ("btrfs: add forward
declarations and headers, part 2").

Just remove such unnecessary include.

The __btrfs_tree_lock() and __btrfs_tree_read_lock() are using a naming
with a double underscore prefix, which is specially not proper for
exported functions. Remove the double underscore prefix from their name
and add the "_nested" suffix.

<title>btrfs: locking: inline btrfs_tree_lock() and btrfs_tree_read_lock()</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f40ca9cb581009f92f35351acf0129165c3729ee</id>
<content type='text'>
The functions btrfs_tree_lock() and btrfs_tree_read_lock() are very
trivial so that can be made inline and avoid call overhead, as they
are very often called inside critical sections (when searching a btree
for example, attempting to lock a child node/leaf while holding a lock
on the parent).

So make them static inline, which even reduces the size of the btrfs
module a little bit.

Before this change:

   $ size fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko
      text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   1718786	 156276	  16920	1891982	 1cde8e	fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko

After this change:

   $ size fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko
      text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
   1718650	 156260	  16920	1891830	 1cddf6	fs/btrfs/btrfs.ko

Running fs_mark also showed a tiny improvement with this script:

   $ cat test.sh
   #!/bin/bash

   DEV=/dev/nullb0
   MNT=/mnt/nullb0
   FILES=100000
   THREADS=$(nproc --all)

   echo "performance" | \
       tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor

   umount $DEV &amp;&gt; /dev/null
   mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV
   mount $DEV $MNT

   OPTS="-S 0 -L 5 -n $FILES -s 0 -t $THREADS -k"
   for ((i = 1; i &lt;= $THREADS; i++)); do
        OPTS="$OPTS -d $MNT/d$i"
   done

   fs_mark $OPTS

   umount $MNT

<content type='text'>
Do a cleanup in more headers:

- add forward declarations for types referenced by pointers
- add includes when types need them

This fixes potential compilation problems if the headers are reordered
or the missing includes are not provided indirectly.

<title>btrfs: do not block starts waiting on previous transaction commit</title>

<name>Josef Bacik</name>

<id>urn:sha1:77d20c685b6baeb942606a93ed861c191381b73e</id>
<content type='text'>
Internally I got a report of very long stalls on normal operations like
creating a new file when auto relocation was running.  The reporter used
the 'bpf offcputime' tracer to show that we would get stuck in
start_transaction for 5 to 30 seconds, and were always being woken up by
the transaction commit.

Using my timing-everything script, which times how long a function takes
and what percentage of that total time is taken up by its children, I
saw several traces like this

1083 took 32812902424 ns
        29929002926 ns 91.2110% wait_for_commit_duration
        25568 ns 7.7920e-05% commit_fs_roots_duration
        1007751 ns 0.00307% commit_cowonly_roots_duration
        446855602 ns 1.36182% btrfs_run_delayed_refs_duration
        271980 ns 0.00082% btrfs_run_delayed_items_duration
        2008 ns 6.1195e-06% btrfs_apply_pending_changes_duration
        9656 ns 2.9427e-05% switch_commit_roots_duration
        1598 ns 4.8700e-06% btrfs_commit_device_sizes_duration
        4314 ns 1.3147e-05% btrfs_free_log_root_tree_duration

Here I was only tracing functions that happen where we are between
START_COMMIT and UNBLOCKED in order to see what would be keeping us
blocked for so long.  The wait_for_commit() we do is where we wait for a
previous transaction that hasn't completed it's commit.  This can
include all of the unpin work and other cleanups, which tends to be the
longest part of our transaction commit.

There is no reason we should be blocking new things from entering the
transaction at this point, it just adds to random latency spikes for no
reason.

Fix this by adding a PREP stage.  This allows us to properly deal with
multiple committers coming in at the same time, we retain the behavior
that the winner waits on the previous transaction and the losers all
wait for this transaction commit to occur.  Nothing else is blocked
during the PREP stage, and then once the wait is complete we switch to
COMMIT_START and all of the same behavior as before is maintained.

<title>btrfs: locking: use atomic for DREW lock writers</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0b5485391deff35c6633d7cbff5cf3a8229fbe9e</id>
<content type='text'>
The DREW lock uses percpu variable to track lock counters and for that
it needs to allocate the structure. In btrfs_read_tree_root() or
btrfs_init_fs_root() this may add another error case or requires the
NOFS scope protection.

One way is to preallocate the structure as was suggested in
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/20221214021125.28289-1-robbieko@synology.com/

We may avoid the allocation altogether if we don't use the percpu
variables but an atomic for the writer counter. This should not make any
difference, the DREW lock is used for truncate and NOCOW writes along
with other IO operations.

The percpu counter for writers has been there since the original commit
8257b2dc3c1a1057 "Btrfs: introduce btrfs_{start, end}_nocow_write() for
each subvolume". The reason could be to avoid hammering the same
cacheline from all the readers but then the writers do that anyway.

These more naturally fit in with the locking related code, and they're
all defines so they can easily go anywhere, move them out of ctree.h
into locking.h

<title>btrfs: implement a nowait option for tree searches</title>

<content type='text'>
For NOWAIT IOCBs we'll need a way to tell search to not wait on locks
or anything.  Accomplish this by adding a path-&gt;nowait flag that will
use trylocks and skip reading of metadata, returning -EAGAIN in either
of these cases.  For now we only need this for reads, so only the read
side is handled.  Add an ASSERT() to catch anybody trying to use this
for writes so they know they'll have to implement the write side.

This isn't necessarily new, it's just tricky to hit in practice.  There
are two competing things going on here.  With relocation we create a
snapshot of every fs tree with a reloc tree.  Any extent buffers that
get initialized here are initialized with the reloc root lockdep key.
However since it is a snapshot, any blocks that are currently in cache
that originally belonged to the fs tree will have the normal tree
lockdep key set.  This creates the lock dependency of

  reloc tree -&gt; normal tree

for the extent buffer locking during the first phase of the relocation
as we walk down the reloc root to relocate blocks.

However this is problematic because the final phase of the relocation is
merging the reloc root into the original fs root.  This involves
searching down to any keys that exist in the original fs root and then
swapping the relocated block and the original fs root block.  We have to
search down to the fs root first, and then go search the reloc root for
the block we need to replace.  This creates the dependency of

  normal tree -&gt; reloc tree

which is why lockdep complains.

Additionally even if we were to fix this particular mismatch with a
different nesting for the merge case, we're still slotting in a block
that has a owner of the reloc root objectid into a normal tree, so that
block will have its lockdep key set to the tree reloc root, and create a
lockdep splat later on when we wander into that block from the fs root.

Unfortunately the only solution here is to make sure we do not set the
lockdep key to the reloc tree lockdep key normally, and then reset any
blocks we wander into from the reloc root when we're doing the merged.

This solves the problem of having mixed tree reloc keys intermixed with
normal tree keys, and then allows us to make sure in the merge case we
maintain the lock order of

  normal tree -&gt; reloc tree

We handle this by setting a bit on the reloc root when we do the search
for the block we want to relocate, and any block we search into or COW
at that point gets set to the reloc tree key.  This works correctly
because we only ever COW down to the parent node, so we aren't resetting
the key for the block we're linking into the fs root.

With this patch we no longer have the lockdep splat in btrfs/187.

These definitions exist in disk-io.c, which is not related to the
locking.  Move this over to locking.h/c where it makes more sense.
