* btrfs: make static code static & remove dead codeEric Sandeen2013-05-061-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Big patch, but all it does is add statics to functions which are in fact static, then remove the associated dead-code fallout. removed functions: btrfs_iref_to_path() __btrfs_lookup_delayed_deletion_item() __btrfs_search_delayed_insertion_item() __btrfs_search_delayed_deletion_item() find_eb_for_page() btrfs_find_block_group() range_straddles_pages() extent_range_uptodate() btrfs_file_extent_length() btrfs_scrub_cancel_devid() btrfs_start_transaction_lflush() btrfs_print_tree() is left because it is used for debugging. btrfs_start_transaction_lflush() and btrfs_reada_detach() are left for symmetry. ulist.c functions are left, another patch will take care of those.

* Btrfs: reduce calls to wake_up on uncontended locksChris Mason2012-07-231-5/+9

* Btrfs: switch the btrfs tree locks to reader/writerChris Mason2011-07-271-134/+146
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The btrfs metadata btree is the source of significant lock contention, especially in the root node. This commit changes our locking to use a reader/writer lock. The lock is built on top of rw spinlocks, and it extends the lock tracking to remember if we have a read lock or a write lock when we go to blocking. Atomics count the number of blocking readers or writers at any given time. It removes all of the adaptive spinning from the old code and uses only the spinning/blocking hints inside of btrfs to decide when it should continue spinning. In read heavy workloads this is dramatically faster. In write heavy workloads we're still faster because of less contention on the root node lock. We suffer slightly in dbench because we schedule more often during write locks, but all other benchmarks so far are improved. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-301-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

* Btrfs: leave btree locks spinning more oftenChris Mason2009-03-241-5/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | btrfs_mark_buffer dirty would set dirty bits in the extent_io tree for the buffers it was dirtying. This may require a kmalloc and it was not atomic. So, anyone who called btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty had to set any btree locks they were holding to blocking first. This commit changes dirty tracking for extent buffers to just use a flag in the extent buffer. Now that we have one and only one extent buffer per page, this can be safely done without losing dirty bits along the way. This also introduces a path->leave_spinning flag that callers of btrfs_search_slot can use to indicate they will properly deal with a path returned where all the locks are spinning instead of blocking. Many of the btree search callers now expect spinning paths, resulting in better btree concurrency overall. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
* Btrfs: Check for a blocking lock before taking the spinChris Mason2009-03-241-2/+8

* Btrfs: fix spinlock assertions on UP systemsChris Mason2009-03-091-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | btrfs_tree_locked was being used to make sure a given extent_buffer was properly locked in a few places. But, it wasn't correct for UP compiled kernels. This switches it to using assert_spin_locked instead, and renames it to btrfs_assert_tree_locked to better reflect how it was really being used. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
* Btrfs: make a lockdep class for the extent buffer locksChris Mason2009-02-121-11/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Btrfs is currently using spin_lock_nested with a nested value based on the tree depth of the block. But, this doesn't quite work because the max tree depth is bigger than what spin_lock_nested can deal with, and because locks are sometimes taken before the level field is filled in. The solution here is to use lockdep_set_class_and_name instead, and to set the class before unlocking the pages when the block is read from the disk and just after init of a freshly allocated tree block. btrfs_clear_path_blocking is also changed to take the locks in the proper order, and it also makes sure all the locks currently held are properly set to blocking before it tries to retake the spinlocks. Otherwise, lockdep gets upset about bad lock orderin. The lockdep magic cam from Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
* Btrfs: don't use spin_is_contendedChris Mason2009-02-091-22/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Btrfs was using spin_is_contended to see if it should drop locks before doing extent allocations during btrfs_search_slot. The idea was to avoid expensive searches in the tree unless the lock was actually contended. But, spin_is_contended is specific to the ticket spinlocks on x86, so this is causing compile errors everywhere else. In practice, the contention could easily appear some time after we started doing the extent allocation, and it makes more sense to always drop the lock instead.

* Btrfs: Change btree locking to use explicit blocking pointsChris Mason2009-02-041-18/+190
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Most of the btrfs metadata operations can be protected by a spinlock, but some operations still need to schedule. So far, btrfs has been using a mutex along with a trylock loop, most of the time it is able to avoid going for the full mutex, so the trylock loop is a big performance gain. This commit is step one for getting rid of the blocking locks entirely. btrfs_tree_lock takes a spinlock, and the code explicitly switches to a blocking lock when it starts an operation that can schedule. We'll be able get rid of the blocking locks in smaller pieces over time. Tracing allows us to find the most common cause of blocking, so we can start with the hot spots first. The basic idea is: btrfs_tree_lock() returns with the spin lock held btrfs_set_lock_blocking() sets the EXTENT_BUFFER_BLOCKING bit in the extent buffer flags, and then drops the spin lock. The buffer is still considered locked by all of the btrfs code. If btrfs_tree_lock gets the spinlock but finds the blocking bit set, it drops the spin lock and waits on a wait queue for the blocking bit to go away. Much of the code that needs to set the blocking bit finishes without actually blocking a good percentage of the time. So, an adaptive spin is still used against the blocking bit to avoid very high context switch rates. btrfs_clear_lock_blocking() clears the blocking bit and returns with the spinlock held again. btrfs_tree_unlock() can be called on either blocking or spinning locks, it does the right thing based on the blocking bit. ctree.c has a helper function to set/clear all the locked buffers in a path as blocking.

* btrfs_search_slot: reduce lock contention by cowing in two stagesChris Mason2008-09-251-0/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | A btree block cow has two parts, the first is to allocate a destination block and the second is to copy the old bock over. The first part needs locks in the extent allocation tree, and may need to do IO. This changeset splits that into a separate function that can be called without any tree locks held. btrfs_search_slot is changed to drop its path and start over if it has to COW a contended block. This often means that many writers will pre-alloc a new destination for a the same contended block, but they cache their prealloc for later use on lower levels in the tree.

* Btrfs: implement memory reclaim for leaf reference cacheYan2008-09-251-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The memory reclaiming issue happens when snapshot exists. In that case, some cache entries may not be used during old snapshot dropping, so they will remain in the cache until umount. The patch adds a field to struct btrfs_leaf_ref to record create time. Besides, the patch makes all dead roots of a given snapshot linked together in order of create time. After a old snapshot was completely dropped, we check the dead root list and remove all cache entries created before the oldest dead root in the list.

* Btrfs: Use mutex_lock_nested for tree lockingChris Mason2008-09-251-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | Lockdep has the notion of locking subclasses so that you can identify locks you expect to be taken after other locks of the same class. This changes the per-extent buffer btree locking routines to use a subclass based on the level in the tree. Unfortunately, lockdep can only handle 8 total subclasses, and the btrfs max level is also 8. So when lockdep is on, use a lower max level. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
* Btrfs: Use a mutex in the extent buffer for tree block lockingChris Mason2008-09-251-7/+6

* Btrfs: Reduce contention on the root nodeChris Mason2008-09-251-0/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This calls unlock_up sooner in btrfs_search_slot in order to decrease the amount of work done with the higher level tree locks held. Also, it changes btrfs_tree_lock to spin for a big against the page lock before scheduling. This makes a big difference in context switch rate under highly contended workloads. Longer term, a better locking structure is needed than the page lock. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
* Btrfs: Start btree concurrency work.Chris Mason2008-09-251-0/+50
The allocation trees and the chunk trees are serialized via their own dedicated mutexes. This means allocation location is still not very fine grained. The main FS btree is protected by locks on each block in the btree. Locks are taken top / down, and as processing finishes on a given level of the tree, the lock is released after locking the lower level. The end result of a search is now a path where only the lowest level is locked. Releasing or freeing the path drops any locks held. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
