2014-09-23Btrfs: remove empty block groups automaticallyJosef Bacik
One problem that has plagued us is that a user will use up all of his space with data, remove a bunch of that data, and then try to create a bunch of small files and run out of space. This happens because all the chunks were allocated for data since the metadata requirements were so low. But now there's a bunch of empty data block groups and not enough metadata space to do anything. This patch solves this problem by automatically deleting empty block groups. If we notice the used count go down to 0 when deleting or on mount notice that a block group has a used count of 0 then we will queue it to be deleted. When the cleaner thread runs we will double check to make sure the block group is still empty and then we will delete it. This patch has the side effect of no longer having a bunch of BUG_ON()'s in the chunk delete code, which will be helpful for both this and relocate.

2014-09-17Btrfs: improve free space cache management and space allocationFilipe Manana
While under random IO, a block group's free space cache eventually reaches a state where it has a mix of extent entries and bitmap entries representing free space regions. As later free space regions are returned to the cache, some of them are merged with existing extent entries if they are contiguous with them. But others are not merged, because despite the existence of adjacent free space regions in the cache, the merging doesn't happen because the existing free space regions are represented in bitmap extents. Even when new free space regions are merged with existing extent entries (enlarging the free space range they represent), we create chances of having after an enlarged region that is contiguous with some other region represented in a bitmap entry. Both clustered and non-clustered space allocation work by iterating over our extent and bitmap entries and skipping any that represents a region smaller then the allocation request (and giving preference to extent entries before bitmap entries). By having a contiguous free space region that is represented by 2 (or more) entries (mix of extent and bitmap entries), we end up not satisfying an allocation request with a size larger than the size of any of the entries but no larger than the sum of their sizes. Making the caller assume we're under a ENOSPC condition or force it to allocate multiple smaller space regions (as we do for file data writes), which adds extra overhead and more chances of causing fragmentation due to the smaller regions being all spread apart from each other (more likely when under concurrency). For example, if we have the following in the cache: * extent entry representing free space range: [128Mb - 256Kb, 128Mb[ * bitmap entry covering the range [128Mb, 256Mb[, but only with the bits representing the range [128Mb, 128Mb + 768Kb[ set - that is, only that space in this 128Mb area is marked as free An allocation request for 1Mb, starting at offset not greater than 128Mb - 256Kb, would fail before, despite the existence of such contiguous free space area in the cache. The caller could only allocate up to 768Kb of space at once and later another 256Kb (or vice-versa). In between each smaller allocation request, another task working on a different file/inode might come in and take that space, preventing the former task of getting a contiguous 1Mb region of free space. Therefore this change implements the ability to move free space from bitmap entries into existing and new free space regions represented with extent entries. This is done when a space region is added to the cache. A test was added to the sanity tests that explains in detail the issue too. Some performance test results with compilebench on a 4 cores machine, with 32Gb of ram and using an HDD follow.

2013-09-01Btrfs: separate out tests into their own directoryJosef Bacik
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.
