When the filesystem transitions from space cache v1 to v2 or to
nospace_cache, it removes the old cached data, but does not remove
the FREE_SPACE items nor the free space inodes they point to. This
doesn't cause any issues besides being a bit inefficient, since these
items no longer do anything useful.
To fix it, when we are mounting, and plan to disable the space cache,
destroy each block group's free space item and free space inode.
The code to remove the items is lifted from the existing use case of
removing the block group, with a light adaptation to handle whether or
not we have already looked up the free space inode.

When mounting, btrfs uses the cache_generation in the super block to
determine if space cache v1 is in use. However, by mounting with
nospace_cache or space_cache=v2, it is possible to disable space cache
v1, which does not result in un-setting cache_generation back to 0.
In order to base some logic, like mount option printing in /proc/mounts,
on the current state of the space cache rather than just the values of
the mount option, keep the value of cache_generation consistent with the
status of space cache v1.
We ensure that cache_generation > 0 iff the file system is using
space_cache v1. This requires committing a transaction on any mount
which changes whether we are using v1. (v1->nospace_cache, v1->v2,
nospace_cache->v1, v2->v1).
Since the mechanism for writing out the cache generation is transaction
commit, but we want some finer grained control over when we un-set it,
we can't just rely on the SPACE_CACHE mount option, and introduce an
fs_info flag that mount can use when it wants to unset the generation.

After removing the inode number cache that was using the free space
cache code, we can remove at least the recalc_thresholds callback from
the ops. Both code and tests use the same callback function. It's moved
before its first use.
The use_bitmaps callback is still needed by tests to create some
extents/bitmap setup.

It's been deprecated since commit b547a88ea577 ("btrfs: start
deprecation of mount option inode_cache") which enumerates the reasons.
A filesystem that uses the feature (mount -o inode_cache) tracks the
inode numbers in bitmaps, that data stay on the filesystem after this
patch. The size is roughly 5MiB for 1M inodes [1], which is considered
small enough to be left there. Removal of the change can be implemented
in btrfs-progs if needed.

The free space cache has been special in that we would load it right
away instead of farming the work off to a worker thread. This resulted
in some weirdness that had to be taken into account for this fact,
namely that if we every found a block group being cached the fast way we
had to wait for it to finish, because we could get the cache before it
had been validated and we may throw the cache away.
To handle this particular case instead create a temporary
btrfs_free_space_ctl to load the free space cache into. Then once we've
validated that it makes sense, copy it's contents into the actual
block_group->free_space_ctl. This allows us to avoid the problems of
needing to wait for the caching to complete, we can clean up the discard
extent handling stuff in __load_free_space_cache, and we no longer need
to do the merge_space_tree() because the space is added one by one into
the real free_space_ctl. This will allow further reworks of how we
handle loading the free space cache.

__btrfs_return_cluster_to_free_space() returns only 0. And all its
parent functions don't need the return value either so make this a void
function.
Further, as none of the callers of btrfs_return_cluster_to_free_space()
is actually using the return from this function, make this function also
return void.

Non-block group destruction discarding currently only had a single list
with no minimum discard length. This can lead to caravaning more
meaningful discards behind a heavily fragmented block group.
This adds support for multiple lists with minimum discard lengths to
prevent the caravan effect. We promote block groups back up when we
exceed the BTRFS_ASYNC_DISCARD_MAX_FILTER size, currently we support
only 2 lists with filters of 1MB and 32KB respectively.

The number of discardable extents will serve as the rate limiting metric
for how often we should discard. This keeps track of discardable extents
in the free space caches by maintaining deltas and propagating them to
the global count.
The deltas are calculated from 2 values stored in PREV and CURR entries,
then propagated up to the global discard ctl. The current counter value

The prior two patches added discarding via a background workqueue. This
just piggybacked off of the fstrim code to trim the whole block at once.
Well inevitably this is worse performance wise and will aggressively
overtrim. But it was nice to plumb the other infrastructure to keep the
patches easier to review.
This adds the real goal of this series which is discarding slowly (ie. a
slow long running fstrim). The discarding is split into two phases,
extents and then bitmaps. The reason for this is two fold. First, the
bitmap regions overlap the extent regions. Second, discarding the
extents first will let the newly trimmed bitmaps have the highest chance
of coalescing when being readded to the free space cache.

block_group removal is a little tricky. It can race with the extent
allocator, the cleaner thread, and balancing. The current path is for a
block_group to be added to the unused_bgs list. Then, when the cleaner
thread comes around, it starts a transaction and then proceeds with
removing the block_group. Extents that are pinned are subsequently
removed from the pinned trees and then eventually a discard is issued
for the entire block_group.
Async discard introduces another player into the game, the discard
workqueue. While it has none of the racing issues, the new problem is
ensuring we don't leave free space untrimmed prior to forgetting the
block_group. This is handled by placing fully free block_groups on a
separate discard queue. This is necessary to maintain discarding order
as in the future we will slowly trim even fully free block_groups. The
ordering helps us make progress on the same block_group rather than say
the last fully freed block_group or needing to search through the fully
freed block groups at the beginning of a list and insert after.
The new order of events is a fully freed block group gets placed on the
unused discard queue first. Once it's processed, it will be placed on
the unusued_bgs list and then the original sequence of events will
happen, just without the final whole block_group discard.
The mount flags can change when processing unused_bgs, so when flipping
from DISCARD to DISCARD_ASYNC, the unused_bgs must be punted to the
discard_list to be trimmed. If we flip off DISCARD_ASYNC, we punt
free block groups on the discard_list to the unused_bg queue which will
do the final discard for us.

When discard is enabled, everytime a pinned extent is released back to
the block_group's free space cache, a discard is issued for the extent.
This is an overeager approach when it comes to discarding and helping
the SSD maintain enough free space to prevent severe garbage collection
situations.
This adds the beginning of async discard. Instead of issuing a discard
prior to returning it to the free space, it is just marked as untrimmed.
The block_group is then added to a LRU which then feeds into a workqueue
to issue discards at a much slower rate. Full discarding of unused block
groups is still done and will be addressed in a future patch of the
series.
For now, we don't persist the discard state of extents and bitmaps.
Therefore, our failure recovery mode will be to consider extents
untrimmed. This lets us handle failure and unmounting as one in the
same.
On a number of Facebook webservers, I collected data every minute
accounting the time we spent in btrfs_finish_extent_commit() (col. 1)
and in btrfs_commit_transaction() (col. 2). btrfs_finish_extent_commit()
is where we discard extents synchronously before returning them to the
free space cache.
discard=sync:
p99 total per minute p99 total per minute
Drive | extent_commit() (ms) | commit_trans() (ms)
---------------------------------------------------------------
Drive A | 434 | 1170
Drive B | 880 | 2330
Drive C | 2943 | 3920
Drive D | 4763 | 5701
discard=async:
p99 total per minute p99 total per minute
Drive | extent_commit() (ms) | commit_trans() (ms)
--------------------------------------------------------------
Drive A | 134 | 956
Drive B | 64 | 1972
Drive C | 59 | 1032
Drive D | 62 | 1200
While it's not great that the stats are cumulative over 1m, all of these
servers are running the same workload and and the delta between the two
are substantial. We are spending significantly less time in
btrfs_finish_extent_commit() which is responsible for discarding.

There is a cap in btrfs in the amount of free extents that a block group
can have. When it surpasses that threshold, future extents are placed
into bitmaps. Instead of keeping track of if a certain bit is trimmed or
not in a second bitmap, keep track of the relative state of the bitmap.
With async discard, trimming bitmaps becomes a more frequent operation.
As a trade off with simplicity, we keep track of if discarding a bitmap
is in progress. If we fully scan a bitmap and trim as necessary, the
bitmap is marked clean. This has some caveats as the min block size may
skip over regions deemed too small. But this should be a reasonable
trade off rather than keeping a second bitmap and making allocation
paths more complex. The downside is we may overtrim, but ideally the min
block size should prevent us from doing that too often and getting stuck
trimming pathological cases.
BTRFS_TRIM_STATE_TRIMMING is added to indicate a bitmap is in the
process of being trimmed. If additional free space is added to that
bitmap, the bit is cleared. A bitmap will be marked
BTRFS_TRIM_STATE_TRIMMED if the trimming code was able to reach the end
of it and the former is still set.

Async discard will use the free space cache as backing knowledge for
which extents to discard. This patch plumbs knowledge about which
extents need to be discarded into the free space cache from
unpin_extent_range().
An untrimmed extent can merge with everything as this is a new region.
Absorbing trimmed extents is a tradeoff to for greater coalescing which
makes life better for find_free_extent(). Additionally, it seems the
size of a trim isn't as problematic as the trim io itself.
When reading in the free space cache from disk, if sync is set, mark all
extents as trimmed. The current code ensures at transaction commit that
all free space is trimmed when sync is set, so this reflects that.

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

Trimming is completely transactionless, and the way it operates consists
of hiding free space entries from a block group, perform the trim/discard
and then make the free space entries visible again.
Therefore while a free space entry is being trimmed, we can have free space
cache writing running in parallel (as part of a transaction commit) which
will miss the free space entry. This means that an unmount (or crash/reboot)
after that transaction commit and mount again before another transaction
starts/commits after the discard finishes, we will have some free space
that won't be used again unless the free space cache is rebuilt. After the
unmount, fsck (btrfsck, btrfs check) reports the issue like the following
example:
*** fsck.btrfs output ***
checking extents
checking free space cache
There is no free space entry for 521764864-521781248
There is no free space entry for 521764864-1103101952

UUID: b4789e27-4774-4626-98e9-ae8dfbfb0fb5

(...)
Another issue caused by this race is a crash while writing bitmap entries
to the cache, because while the cache writeout task accesses the bitmaps,
the trim task can be concurrently modifying the bitmap or worse might
be freeing the bitmap. The later case results in the following crash:

Fix this by serializing both tasks in such a way that cache writeout
doesn't wait for the trim/discard of free space entries to finish and
doesn't miss any free space entry.

We're doing a unnecessary extra lookup of the ino cache's
inode when we already have it (and holding a reference)
during the process of saving the ino cache contents to disk.
Therefore remove this extra lookup.

By the current code, if the requested size is very large, and all the extents
in the free space cache are small, we will waste lots of the cpu time to cut
the requested size in half and search the cache again and again until it gets
down to the size the allocator can return. In fact, we can know the max extent
size in the cache after the first search, so we needn't cut the size in half
repeatedly, and just use the max extent size directly. This way can save
lots of cpu time and make the performance grow up when there are only fragments
in the free space cache.
According to my test, if there are only 4KB free space extents in the fs,
and the total size of those extents are 256MB, we can reduce the execute
time of the following test from 5.4s to 1.4s.
dd if=/dev/zero of=<testfile> bs=1MB count=1 oflag=sync
Changelog v2 -> v3:
- fix the problem that we skip the block group with the space which is
less than we need.
Changelog v1 -> v2:
- address the problem that we return a wrong start position when searching
the free space in a bitmap.

The plan is to have a bunch of unit tests that run when btrfs is loaded when you
build with the appropriate config option. My ultimate goal is to have a test
for every non-static function we have, but at first I'm going to focus on the
things that cause us the most problems. To start out with this just adds a
tests/ directory and moves the existing free space cache tests into that
directory and sets up all of the infrastructure. Thanks,

I noticed while looking at a deadlock that we are always starting a transaction
in cow_file_range(). This isn't really needed since we only need a transaction
if we are doing an inline extent, or if the allocator needs to allocate a chunk.
So push down all the transaction start stuff to be closer to where we actually
need a transaction in all of these cases. This will hopefully reduce our write
latency when we are committing often. Thanks,

It is very likely that there are lots of subvolumes/snapshots in the filesystem,
so if we use global block reservation to do inode cache truncation, we may hog
all the free space that is reserved in global rsv. So it is better that we do
the free space reservation for inode cache truncation by ourselves.

We keep hitting bugs in the tree log replay because btrfs_remove_free_space
doesn't account for some corner case. So add a bunch of tests to try and fully
test btrfs_remove_free_space since the only time it is called is during tree log
replay. These tests all finish successfully, so as we find more of these bugs
we need to add to these tests to make sure we don't regress in fixing things.
I've hidden the tests behind a Kconfig option, but they take no time to run so
all btrfs developers should have this turned on all the time. Thanks,

This is similar to block group caching.
We dedicate a special inode in fs tree to save free ino cache.
At the very first time we create/delete a file after mount, the free ino
cache will be loaded from disk into memory. When the fs tree is commited,
the cache will be written back to disk.
To keep compatibility, we check the root generation against the generation
of the special inode when loading the cache, so the loading will fail
if the btrfs filesystem was mounted in an older kernel before.

Currently btrfs stores the highest objectid of the fs tree, and it always
returns (highest+1) inode number when we create a file, so inode numbers
won't be reclaimed when we delete files, so we'll run out of inode numbers
as we keep create/delete files in 32bits machines.
This fixes it, and it works similarly to how we cache free space in block
cgroups.
We start a kernel thread to read the file tree. By scanning inode items,
we know which chunks of inode numbers are free, and we cache them in
an rb-tree.
Because we are searching the commit root, we have to carefully handle the
cross-transaction case.
The rb-tree is a hybrid extent+bitmap tree, so if we have too many small
chunks of inode numbers, we'll use bitmaps. Initially we allow 16K ram
of extents, and a bitmap will be used if we exceed this threshold. The
extents threshold is adjusted in runtime.

So we can re-use the code to cache free inode numbers.
The change is quite straightforward. Two new structures are introduced.
- struct btrfs_free_space_ctl
We move those variables that are used for caching free space from
struct btrfs_block_group_cache to this new struct.
- struct btrfs_free_space_op
We do block group specific work (e.g. calculation of extents threshold)
through functions registered in this struct.
And then we can remove references to struct btrfs_block_group_cache.

We take an free extent out from allocator, trim it, then put it back,
but before we trim the block group, we should make sure the block group is
cached, so plus a little change to make cache_block_group() run without a
transaction.

This patch actually loads the free space cache if it exists. The only thing
that really changes here is that we need to cache the block group if we're going
to remove an extent from it. Previously we did not do this since the caching
kthread would pick it up. With the on disk cache we don't have this luxury so
we need to make sure we read the on disk cache in first, and then remove the
extent, that way when the extent is unpinned the free space is added to the
block group. This has been tested with all sorts of things.

This is a simple bit, just dump the free space cache out to our preallocated
inode when we're writing out dirty block groups. There are a bunch of changes
in inode.c in order to account for special cases. Mostly when we're doing the
writeout we're holding trans_mutex, so we need to use the nolock transacation
functions. Also we can't do asynchronous completions since the async thread
could be blocked on already completed IO waiting for the transaction lock. This
has been tested with xfstests and btrfs filesystem balance, as well as my ENOSPC
tests. Thanks,
