20a5239a5d Btrfs: Show discard option in /proc/mounts
Christoph's patch e244a0aeb6 doesn't display
the discard option in /proc/mounts, leading to some confusion for me.

49cf6f4529 Btrfs: Fix setting umask when POSIX ACLs are not enabled
We currently set sb->s_flags |= MS_POSIXACL unconditionally, which is
incorrect -- it tells the VFS that it shouldn't set umask because we
will, yet we don't set it ourselves if we aren't using POSIX ACLs, so

451d7585a8 Btrfs: add mount -o ssd_spread to spread allocations out

others perform much better when clustering strictly allocates
big chunks of unused space.

The default mount -o ssd will find rough groupings of blocks
where there are a bunch of free blocks that might have some
allocated blocks mixed in.

mount -o ssd_spread will make sure there are no allocated blocks
mixed in.  It should perform better on lower end SSDs.

5d4f98a28c Btrfs: Mixed back reference (FORWARD ROLLING FORMAT CHANGE)
This commit introduces a new kind of back reference for btrfs metadata.
Once a filesystem has been mounted with this commit, IT WILL NO LONGER
BE MOUNTABLE BY OLDER KERNELS.

When a tree block in subvolume tree is cow'd, the reference counts of all
extents it points to are increased by one.  At transaction commit time,
the old root of the subvolume is recorded in a "dead root" data structure,
and the btree it points to is later walked, dropping reference counts
and freeing any blocks where the reference count goes to 0.

The increments done during cow and decrements done after commit cancel out,
and the walk is a very expensive way to go about freeing the blocks that
are no longer referenced by the new btree root.  This commit reduces the
transaction overhead by avoiding the need for dead root records.

When a non-shared tree block is cow'd, we free the old block at once, and the
new block inherits old block's references. When a tree block with reference
count > 1 is cow'd, we increase the reference counts of all extents
the new block points to by one, and decrease the old block's reference count by
one.

This dead tree avoidance code removes the need to modify the reference
counts of lower level extents when a non-shared tree block is cow'd.
But we still need to update back ref for all pointers in the block.
This is because the location of the block is recorded in the back ref
item.

We can solve this by introducing a new type of back ref. The new
back ref provides information about pointer's key, level and in which
tree the pointer lives. This information allow us to find the pointer
by searching the tree. The shortcoming of the new back ref is that it
only works for pointers in tree blocks referenced by their owner trees.

This is mostly a problem for snapshots, where resolving one of these
fuzzy back references would be O(number_of_snapshots) and quite slow.
The solution used here is to use the fuzzy back references in the common
case where a given tree block is only referenced by one root,
and use the full back references when multiple roots have a reference
on a given block.

This commit adds per subvolume red-black tree to keep trace of cached
inodes. The red-black tree helps the balancing code to find cached
inodes whose inode numbers within a given range.

This commit improves the balancing code by introducing several data
structures to keep the state of balancing. The most important one
is the back ref cache. It caches how the upper level tree blocks are
referenced. This greatly reduce the overhead of checking back ref.

The improved balancing code scales significantly better with a large
number of snapshots.

This is a very large commit and was written in a number of
pieces.  But, they depend heavily on the disk format change and were
squashed together to make sure git bisect didn't end up in a
bad state wrt space balancing or the format change.

97e728d435 Btrfs: try to keep a healthy ratio of metadata vs data block groups
This patch makes the chunk allocator keep a good ratio of metadata vs data
block groups.  By default for every 8 data block groups, we'll allocate 1
metadata chunk, or about 12% of the disk will be allocated for metadata.  This
can be changed by specifying the metadata_ratio mount option.

This is simply the number of data block groups that have to be allocated to
force a metadata chunk allocation.  By making sure we allocate metadata chunks
more often, we are less likely to get into situations where the whole disk
has been allocated as data block groups.

dccae99995 Btrfs: add flushoncommit mount option
The 'flushoncommit' mount option forces any data dirtied by a write in a
prior transaction to commit as part of the current commit.  This makes
the committed state a fully consistent view of the file system from the
application's perspective (i.e., it includes all completed file system
operations).  This was previously the behavior only when a snapshot is
created.

This is used by Ceph to ensure that completed writes make it to the
platter along with the metadata operations they are bound to (by
BTRFS_IOC_TRANS_{START,END}).

e1df36d2f1 Btrfs: don't clean old snapshots on sync(1)
Cleaning old snapshots can make sync(1) somewhat slow, and some users
and applications still use it in a global fsync kind of workload.

This patch changes btrfs not to clean old snapshots during sync, which is
safe from a FS consistency point of view.  The major downside is that it
makes it difficult to tell when old snapshots have been reaped and
the space they were using has been reclaimed.  A new ioctl will be added
for this purpose instead.

3de4586c52 Btrfs: Allow subvolumes and snapshots anywhere in the directory tree
Before, all snapshots and subvolumes lived in a single flat directory.  This
was awkward and confusing because the single flat directory was only writable
with the ioctls.

This commit changes the ioctls to create subvols and snapshots at any
point in the directory tree.  This requires making separate ioctls for
snapshot and subvol creation instead of a combining them into one.

The subvol ioctl does:

btrfsctl -S subvol_name parent_dir

After the ioctl is done subvol_name lives inside parent_dir.

The snapshot ioctl does:

btrfsctl -s path_for_snapshot root_to_snapshot

path_for_snapshot can be an absolute or relative path.  btrfsctl breaks it up
into directory and basename components.

root_to_snapshot can be any file or directory in the FS.  The snapshot
is taken of the entire root where that file lives.

2b82032c34 Btrfs: Seed device support
Seed device is a special btrfs with SEEDING super flag
set and can only be mounted in read-only mode. Seed
devices allow people to create new btrfs on top of it.

The new FS contains the same contents as the seed device,
but it can be mounted in read-write mode.

This patch does the following:

1) split code in btrfs_alloc_chunk into two parts. The first part does makes
the newly allocated chunk usable, but does not do any operation that modifies
the chunk tree. The second part does the the chunk tree modifications. This
division is for the bootstrap step of adding storage to the seed device.

2) Update device management code to handle seed device.
The basic idea is: For an FS grown from seed devices, its
seed devices are put into a list. Seed devices are
opened on demand at mounting time. If any seed device is
missing or has been changed, btrfs kernel module will
refuse to mount the FS.

3) make btrfs_find_block_group not return NULL when all
block groups are read-only.

771ed689d2 Btrfs: Optimize compressed writeback and reads
When reading compressed extents, try to put pages into the page cache
for any pages covered by the compressed extent that readpages didn't already
preload.

Add an async work queue to handle transformations at delayed allocation processing
time.  Right now this is just compression.  The workflow is:

1) Find offsets in the file marked for delayed allocation
2) Lock the pages
3) Lock the state bits
4) Call the async delalloc code

The async delalloc code clears the state lock bits and delalloc bits.  It is
important this happens before the range goes into the work queue because
otherwise it might deadlock with other work queue items that try to lock
those extent bits.

The file pages are compressed, and if the compression doesn't work the
pages are written back directly.

An ordered work queue is used to make sure the inodes are written in the same
order that pdflush or writepages sent them down.

This changes extent_write_cache_pages to let the writepage function
update the wbc nr_written count.

c8b978188c Btrfs: Add zlib compression support
This is a large change for adding compression on reading and writing,
both for inline and regular extents.  It does some fairly large
surgery to the writeback paths.

Compression is off by default and enabled by mount -o compress.  Even
when the -o compress mount option is not used, it is possible to read
compressed extents off the disk.

If compression for a given set of pages fails to make them smaller, the
file is flagged to avoid future compression attempts later.

* While finding delalloc extents, the pages are locked before being sent down
to the delalloc handler.  This allows the delalloc handler to do complex things
such as cleaning the pages, marking them writeback and starting IO on their
behalf.

* Inline extents are inserted at delalloc time now.  This allows us to compress
the data before inserting the inline extent, and it allows us to insert
an inline extent that spans multiple pages.

* All of the in-memory extent representations (extent_map.c, ordered-data.c etc)
are changed to record both an in-memory size and an on disk size, as well
as a flag for compression.

From a disk format point of view, the extent pointers in the file are changed
to record the on disk size of a given extent and some encoding flags.
Space in the disk format is allocated for compression encoding, as well
as encryption and a generic 'other' field.  Neither the encryption or the
'other' field are currently used.

In order to limit the amount of data read for a single random read in the
file, the size of a compressed extent is limited to 128k.  This is a
software only limit, the disk format supports u64 sized compressed extents.

In order to limit the ram consumed while processing extents, the uncompressed
size of a compressed extent is limited to 256k.  This is a software only limit
and will be subject to tuning later.

Checksumming is still done on compressed extents, and it is done on the
uncompressed version of the data.  This way additional encodings can be
layered on without having to figure out which encoding to checksum.

Compression happens at delalloc time, which is basically singled threaded because
it is usually done by a single pdflush thread.  This makes it tricky to
spread the compression load across all the cpus on the box.  We'll have to
look at parallel pdflush walks of dirty inodes at a later time.

Decompression is hooked into readpages and it does spread across CPUs nicely.
