btrfs: use smp_mb__after_atomic() when forcing COW in create_pending_snapshot()
After setting the BTRFS_ROOT_FORCE_COW flag on the root we are doing a
full write barrier, smp_wmb(), but we don't need to, all we need is a
smp_mb__after_atomic(). The use of the smp_wmb() is from the old days
when we didn't use a bit and used instead an int field in the root to
signal if cow is forced. After the int field was changed to a bit in
the root's state (flags field), we forgot to update the memory barrier
in create_pending_snapshot() to smp_mb__after_atomic(), but we did the
change in commit_fs_roots() after clearing BTRFS_ROOT_FORCE_COW. That
happened in commit
27cdeb7096b8 ("Btrfs: use bitfield instead of integer
data type for the some variants in btrfs_root"). On the reader side, in
should_cow_block(), we also use the counterpart smp_mb__before_atomic()
which generates further confusion.
So change the smp_wmb() to smp_mb__after_atomic(). In fact we don't
even need any barrier at all since create_pending_snapshot() is called
in the critical section of a transaction commit and therefore no one
can concurrently join/attach the transaction, or start a new one, until
the transaction is unblocked. By the time someone starts a new transaction
and enters should_cow_block(), a lot of implicit memory barriers already
took place by having acquired several locks such as fs_info->trans_lock
and extent buffer locks on the root node at least. Nevertlheless, for
consistency use smp_mb__after_atomic() after setting the force cow bit
in create_pending_snapshot().

Transaction abort is one such error, the btrfs_abort_transaction()

btrfs: enable experimental bs > ps support
With all the preparation patches, we're able to finally enable btrfs
block size (sector size) larger than page size support and give it a
full fstests run.
And obviously this new feature is hidden behind experimental flags, and
should not be considered as a core feature yet as btrfs' default block
size is still 4K.
But this is still a feature that will shine in the future where 16K
block sized device are widely adopted.
For now there are some features explicitly disabled:
- Direct IO
This is the most complex part to support, the root reason is we can
not control the pages of iov iter passed in.
User space programs can only ensure the virtual addresses are
contiguous, but have no control on their physical addresses.
Our bs > ps support heavily relies on large folios, and direct IO
memory can easily break it.
So direct IO is disabled and will always fall back to buffered IO.
- RAID56
In theory we can convert RAID56 to use large folios, but it will need
to be converted back to page based if we want to support direct IO in
the future.
So just reject it for now.
- Encoded send
- Encoded read
Both are utilizing btrfs_encoded_read_regular_fill_pages(), and send
is utilizing vmallocated memory.
Unfortunately for vmallocated memory we can not guarantee the minimal
folio order.
For send, it will just always fallback to regular writes, which reads
from page cache and will follow the existing folio order requirement.
- Encoded write
Encoded write itself is allocating pages by themselves, and we can
easily change it to follow the minimal order.
But since encoded read is already disabled, there is no need to only
enable encoded write.
Finally just like what we did for bs < ps support in the past, add a
warning message for bs > ps mounts.

Please note bs > ps support is still under development and the

[CAUSE]
Btrfs reuses its data folio read path to handle symbolic links, as the
symbolic link target is stored as an inline data extent.
But for newly created inodes, btrfs only set the minimal order if the
target inode is a regular file.
Thus for above newly created symbolic link, it doesn't properly respect
the minimal folio order, and triggered the above crash.
[FIX]
Call btrfs_set_inode_mapping_order() unconditionally inside
btrfs_create_new_inode().
For symbolic links this will fix the crash as now the folio will meet
the minimal order.
For regular files this brings no change.
For directory/bdev/char and all the other types of inodes, they won't
go through the data read path, thus no effect either.

btrfs: fix the incorrect max_bytes value for find_lock_delalloc_range()
[BUG]
With my local branch to enable bs > ps support for btrfs, sometimes I
hit the following ASSERT() inside submit_one_sector():
ASSERT(block_start != EXTENT_MAP_HOLE);
Please note that it's not yet possible to hit this ASSERT() in the wild
yet, as it requires btrfs bs > ps support, which is not even in the
development branch.
But on the other hand, there is also a very low chance to hit above
ASSERT() with bs < ps cases, so this is an existing bug affect not only
the incoming bs > ps support but also the existing bs < ps support.
[CAUSE]
Firstly that ASSERT() means we're trying to submit a dirty block but
without a real extent map nor ordered extent map backing it.
Furthermore with extra debugging, the folio triggering such ASSERT() is
always larger than the fs block size in my bs > ps case.
(8K block size, 4K page size)
After some more debugging, the ASSERT() is trigger by the following
sequence:
extent_writepage()
| We got a 32K folio (4 fs blocks) at file offset 0, and the fs block
| size is 8K, page size is 4K.
| And there is another 8K folio at file offset 32K, which is also
| dirty.
| So the filemap layout looks like the following:
|
| "||" is the filio boundary in the filemap.
| "//| is the dirty range.
|
| 0 8K 16K 24K 32K 40K
| |////////| |//////////////////////||////////|
|
|- writepage_delalloc()
| |- find_lock_delalloc_range() for [0, 8K)
| | Now range [0, 8K) is properly locked.
| |
| |- find_lock_delalloc_range() for [16K, 40K)
| | |- btrfs_find_delalloc_range() returned range [16K, 40K)
| | |- lock_delalloc_folios() locked folio 0 successfully
| | |
| | | The filemap range [32K, 40K) got dropped from filemap.
| | |
| | |- lock_delalloc_folios() failed with -EAGAIN on folio 32K
| | | As the folio at 32K is dropped.
| | |
| | |- loops = 1;
| | |- max_bytes = PAGE_SIZE;
| | |- goto again;
| | | This will re-do the lookup for dirty delalloc ranges.
| | |
| | |- btrfs_find_delalloc_range() called with @max_bytes == 4K
| | | This is smaller than block size, so
| | | btrfs_find_delalloc_range() is unable to return any range.
| | \- return false;
| |
| \- Now only range [0, 8K) has an OE for it, but for dirty range
| [16K, 32K) it's dirty without an OE.
| This breaks the assumption that writepage_delalloc() will find
| and lock all dirty ranges inside the folio.
|
|- extent_writepage_io()
|- submit_one_sector() for [0, 8K)
| Succeeded
|
|- submit_one_sector() for [16K, 24K)
Triggering the ASSERT(), as there is no OE, and the original
extent map is a hole.
Please note that, this also exposed the same problem for bs < ps
support. E.g. with 64K page size and 4K block size.
If we failed to lock a folio, and falls back into the "loops = 1;"
branch, we will re-do the search using 64K as max_bytes.
Which may fail again to lock the next folio, and exit early without
handling all dirty blocks inside the folio.
[FIX]
Instead of using the fixed size PAGE_SIZE as @max_bytes, use
@sectorsize, so that we are ensured to find and lock any remaining
blocks inside the folio.
And since we're here, add an extra ASSERT() to
before calling btrfs_find_delalloc_range() to make sure the @max_bytes is
at least no smaller than a block to avoid false negative.

There is no need to store the extent's ram_bytes in two variables,

btrfs: fix comment about nbytes increase at replay_one_extent()
The comment is wrong about the part where it says a prealloc extent does
not contribute to an inode's nbytes - it does. Only holes don't contribute
and that's what we are checking for, as prealloc extents always have a
disk_bytenr different from 0. So fix the comment and re-organize the code
to not set nbytes twice and set it to the extent item's number of bytes
only if it doesn't represent a hole - in case it's a hole we have already
initialized nbytes to 0 when we declared it.

while (iter->bi_size) {
struct bio_vec bv = bio_iter_iovec();
/* Do something with using the bv */
bio_advance_iter_single(&bbio->bio, iter, sectorsize);
}
That's fine for now, but it will not handle future bs > ps, as
bio_iter_iovec() returns a single-page bvec, meaning the bv_len will not
exceed page size.
This means the code using that bv can only handle a block if bs <= ps.
To address this problem and handle future bs > ps cases better:
- Introduce a helper btrfs_bio_for_each_block()
Instead of bio_vec, which has single and multiple page version and
multiple page version has quite some limits, use my favorite way to
represent a block, phys_addr_t.
For bs <= ps cases, nothing is changed, except we will do a very
small overhead to convert phys_addr_t to a folio, then use the proper
folio helpers to handle the possible highmem cases.
For bs > ps cases, all blocks will be backed by large folios, meaning
every folio will cover at least one block. And still use proper folio
helpers to handle highmem cases.
With phys_addr_t, we will handle both large folio and highmem
properly. So there is no better single variable to present a btrfs
block than phys_addr_t.
- Extract the data block csum calculation into a helper
The new helper, btrfs_calculate_block_csum() will be utilized by
btrfs_csum_one_bio().
- Use btrfs_bio_for_each_block() to replace existing call sites
Including:
* index_one_bio() from raid56.c
Very straight-forward.
* btrfs_check_read_bio()
Also update repair_one_sector() to grab the folio using phys_addr_t,
and do extra checks to make sure the folio covers at least one
block.
We do not need to bother bv_len at all now.
* btrfs_csum_one_bio()
Now we can move the highmem handling into a dedicated helper,
calculate_block_csum(), and use btrfs_bio_for_each_block() helper.
There is one exception in btrfs_decompress_buf2page(), which is copying
decompressed data into the original bio, which is not iterating using

btrfs: concentrate highmem handling for data verification
Currently for btrfs checksum verification, we do it in the following
pattern:
kaddr = kmap_local_*();
ret = btrfs_check_csum_csum(kaddr);
kunmap_local(kaddr);
It's OK for now, but it's still not following the patterns of helpers
inside linux/highmem.h, which never requires a virt memory address.
In those highmem helpers, they mostly accept a folio, some offset/length
inside the folio, and in the implementation they check if the folio
needs partial kmap, and do the handling.
Inspired by those formal highmem helpers, enhance the highmem handling
of data checksum verification by:
- Rename btrfs_check_sector_csum() to btrfs_check_block_csum()
To follow the more common term "block" used in all other major
filesystems.
- Pass a physical address into btrfs_check_block_csum() and
btrfs_data_csum_ok()
The physical address is always available even for a highmem page.
Since it's page frame number << PAGE_SHIFT + offset in page.
And with that physical address, we can grab the folio covering the
page, and do extra checks to ensure it covers at least one block.
This also allows us to do the kmap inside btrfs_check_block_csum().
This means all the extra HIGHMEM handling will be concentrated into
btrfs_check_block_csum(), and no callers will need to bother highmem
by themselves.
- Properly zero out the block if csum mismatch
Since btrfs_data_csum_ok() only got a paddr, we can not and should not
use memzero_bvec(), which only accepts single page bvec.
Instead use paddr to grab the folio and call folio_zero_range()

btrfs: add an fs_info parameter for compression workspace manager
[BACKGROUND]
Currently btrfs shares workspaces and their managers for all filesystems,
this is mostly fine as all those workspaces are using page size based
buffers, and btrfs only support block size (bs) <= page size (ps).
This means even if bs < ps, we at most waste some buffer space in the
workspace, but everything will still work fine.
The problem here is that is limiting our support for bs > ps cases.
As now a workspace now may need larger buffer to handle bs > ps cases,
but since the pool has no way to distinguish different workspaces, a
regular workspace (which is still using buffer size based on ps) can be
passed to a btrfs whose bs > ps.
In that case the buffer is not large enough, and will cause various
problems.
[ENHANCEMENT]
To prepare for the per-fs workspace migration, add an fs_info parameter
to all workspace related functions.
For now this new fs_info parameter is not yet utilized.

btrfs: keep folios locked inside run_delalloc_nocow()
[BUG]
There is a very low chance that DEBUG_WARN() inside
btrfs_writepage_cow_fixup() can be triggered when
CONFIG_BTRFS_EXPERIMENTAL is enabled.
This only happens after run_delalloc_nocow() failed.
Unfortunately I haven't hit it for a while thus no real world dmesg for
now.
[CAUSE]
There is a race window where after run_delalloc_nocow() failed, error
handling can race with writeback thread.
Before we hit run_delalloc_nocow(), there is an inode with the following
dirty pages: (4K page size, 4K block size, no large folio)
0 4K 8K 12K 16K
|/////////|///////////|///////////|////////////|
The inode also have NODATACOW flag, and the above dirty range will go
through different extents during run_delalloc_range():
0 4K 8K 12K 16K
| NOCOW | COW | COW | NOCOW |
The race happen like this:
writeback thread A | writeback thread B
----------------------------------+--------------------------------------
Writeback for folio 0 |
run_delalloc_nocow() |
|- nocow_one_range() |
| For range [0, 4K), ret = 0 |
| |
|- fallback_to_cow() |
| For range [4K, 8K), ret = 0 |
| Folio 4K *UNLOCKED* |
| | Writeback for folio 4K
|- fallback_to_cow() | extent_writepage()
| For range [8K, 12K), failure | |- writepage_delalloc()
| | |
|- btrfs_cleanup_ordered_extents()| |
|- btrfs_folio_clear_ordered() | |
| Folio 0 still locked, safe | |
| | | Ordered extent already allocated.
| | | Nothing to do.
| | |- extent_writepage_io()
| | |- btrfs_writepage_cow_fixup()
|- btrfs_folio_clear_ordered() | |
Folio 4K hold by thread B, | |
UNSAFE! | |- btrfs_test_ordered()
| | Cleared by thread A,
| |
| |- DEBUG_WARN();
This is only possible after run_delalloc_nocow() failure, as
cow_file_range() will keep all folios and io tree range locked, until
everything is finished or after error handling.
The root cause is we allow fallback_to_cow() and nocow_one_range() to
unlock the folios after a successful run, so that during error handling
we're no longer safe to use btrfs_cleanup_ordered_extents() as the
folios are already unlocked.
[FIX]
- Make fallback_to_cow() and nocow_one_range() to keep folios locked
after a successful run
For fallback_to_cow() we can pass COW_FILE_RANGE_KEEP_LOCKED flag
into cow_file_range().
For nocow_one_range() we have to remove the PAGE_UNLOCK flag from
extent_clear_unlock_delalloc().
- Unlock folios if everything is fine in run_delalloc_nocow()
- Use extent_clear_unlock_delalloc() to handle range [@start,
@cur_offset) inside run_delalloc_nocow()
Since folios are still locked, we do not need
cleanup_dirty_folios() to do the cleanup.
extent_clear_unlock_delalloc() with "PAGE_START_WRITEBACK |
PAGE_END_WRITEBACK" will clear the dirty flags.
- Remove cleanup_dirty_folios()

btrfs: make nocow_one_range() to do cleanup on error
Currently if we hit an error inside nocow_one_range(), we do not clear
the page dirty, and let the caller to handle it.
This is very different compared to fallback_to_cow(), when that function
failed, everything will be cleaned up by cow_file_range().
Enhance the situation by:
- Use a common error handling for nocow_one_range()
If we failed anything, use the same btrfs_cleanup_ordered_extents()
and extent_clear_unlock_delalloc().
btrfs_cleanup_ordered_extents() is safe even if we haven't created new
ordered extent, in that case there should be no OE and that function
will do nothing.
The same applies to extent_clear_unlock_delalloc(), and since we're
passing PAGE_UNLOCK | PAGE_START_WRITEBACK | PAGE_END_WRITEBACK, it
will also clear folio dirty flag during error handling.
- Avoid touching the failed range of nocow_one_range()
As the failed range will be cleaned up and unlocked by that function.
Here we introduce a new variable @nocow_end to record the failed range,
so that we can skip it during the error handling of run_delalloc_nocow().

btrfs: enhance error messages for delalloc range failure
When running emulated write error tests like generic/475, we can hit
error messages like this:
BTRFS error (device dm-12 state EA): run_delalloc_nocow failed, root=596 inode=264 start=
1605632 len=73728: -5
BTRFS error (device dm-12 state EA): failed to run delalloc range, root=596 ino=264 folio=
1605632 submit_bitmap=0-7 start=
1605632 len=73728: -5
Which is normally buried by direct IO error messages.
However above error messages are not enough to determine which is the
real range that caused the error.
Considering we can have multiple different extents in one delalloc
range (e.g. some COW extents along with some NOCOW extents), just
outputting the error at the end of run_delalloc_nocow() is not enough.
To enhance the error messages:
- Remove the rate limit on the existing error messages
In the generic/475 example, most error messages are from direct IO,
not really from the delalloc range.
Considering how useful the delalloc range error messages are, we don't
want they to be rate limited.
- Add extra @cur_offset output for cow_file_range()
- Add extra variable output for run_delalloc_nocow()
This is especially important for run_delalloc_nocow(), as there
are extra error paths where we can hit error without into
nocow_one_range() nor fallback_to_cow().
- Add an error message for nocow_one_range()
That's the missing part.
For fallback_to_cow(), we have error message from cow_file_range()
already.
- Constify the @len and @end local variables for nocow_one_range()
This makes it much easier to make sure @len and @end are not modified
at runtime.

btrfs: rework error handling of run_delalloc_nocow()
Currently the error handling of run_delalloc_nocow() modifies
@cur_offset to handle different parts of the delalloc range.
However the error handling can always be split into 3 parts:
1) The range with ordered extents allocated (OE cleanup)
We have to cleanup the ordered extents and unlock the folios.
2) The range that have been cleaned up (skip)
For now it's only for the range of fallback_to_cow().
We should not touch it at all.
3) The range that is not yet touched (untouched)
We have to unlock the folios and clear any reserved space.
This 3 ranges split has the same principle as cow_file_range(), however
the NOCOW/COW handling makes the above 3 range split much more complex:
a) Failure immediately after a successful OE allocation
Thus no @cow_start nor @cow_end set.
start cur_offset end
| OE cleanup | untouched |
b) Failure after hitting a COW range but before calling
fallback_to_cow()
start cow_start cur_offset end
| OE Cleanup | untouched |
c) Failure to call fallback_to_cow()
start cow_start cow_end end
| OE Cleanup | skip | untouched |
Instead of modifying @cur_offset, do proper range calculation for
OE-cleanup and untouched ranges using above 3 cases with proper range
charts.
This avoid updating @cur_offset, as it will an extra output for debug
purposes later, and explain the behavior easier.

btrfs: implement ref_tracker for delayed_nodes
Add ref_tracker infrastructure for struct btrfs_delayed_node.
It is a response to the largest btrfs related crash in our fleet. We're
seeing soft lockups in btrfs_kill_all_delayed_nodes() that seem to be a
result of delayed_nodes not being released properly.
A ref_tracker object is allocated on reference count increases and freed
on reference count decreases. The ref_tracker object stores a stack
trace of where it is allocated. The ref_tracker_dir object is embedded
in btrfs_delayed_node and keeps track of all current and some old/freed
ref_tracker objects. When a leak is detected we can print the stack
traces for all ref_trackers that have not yet been freed.
Here is a common example of taking a reference to a delayed_node and
freeing it with ref_tracker.
struct btrfs_ref_tracker tracker;
struct btrfs_delayed_node *node;
node = btrfs_get_delayed_node(inode, &tracker);
// use delayed_node...
btrfs_release_delayed_node(node, &tracker);
There are two special cases where the delayed_node reference is "long
lived", meaning that the thread that takes the reference and the thread
that releases the reference are different. The 'inode_cache_tracker'
tracks the delayed_node stored in btrfs_inode. The 'node_list_tracker'
tracks the delayed_node stored in the btrfs_delayed_root
node_list/prepare_list. These trackers are embedded in the
btrfs_delayed_node.
btrfs_ref_tracker and btrfs_ref_tracker_dir are wrappers that either
compile to the corresponding ref_tracker structs or empty structs
depending on CONFIG_BTRFS_DEBUG. There are also btrfs wrappers for
the ref_tracker API.

Then utilize it in the two locations:

btrfs: use blocksize to check if compression is making things larger

Currently LZO compression algorithm will check if we're making the
compressed data larger after compressing more than 2 blocks.
But zlib and zstd do the same checks after compressing more than 8192
bytes.
This is not a big deal, but since we're already supporting larger block
size (e.g. 64K block size if page size is also 64K), this check is not
suitable for all block sizes.
For example, if our page and block size are both 16KiB, and after the
first block compressed using zlib, the resulted compressed data is
slightly larger than 16KiB, we will immediately abort the compression.
This makes zstd and zlib compression algorithms to behave slightly

btrfs: try to search for data csums in commit root
If you run a workload with:
- a cgroup that does tons of parallel data reading, with a working set
much larger than its memory limit
- a second cgroup that writes relatively fewer files, with overwrites,
with no memory limit
(see full code listing at the bottom for a reproducer)
Then what quickly occurs is:
- we have a large number of threads trying to read the csum tree
- we have a decent number of threads deleting csums running delayed refs
- we have a large number of threads in direct reclaim and thus high
memory pressure
The result of this is that we writeback the csum tree repeatedly mid
transaction, to get back the extent_buffer folios for reclaim. As a
result, we repeatedly COW the csum tree for the delayed refs that are
deleting csums. This means repeatedly write locking the higher levels of
the tree.
As a result of this, we achieve an unpleasant priority inversion. We
have:
- a high degree of contention on the csum root node (and other upper
nodes) eb rwsem
- a memory starved cgroup doing tons of reclaim on CPU.
- many reader threads in the memory starved cgroup "holding" the sem
as readers, but not scheduling promptly. i.e., task __state == 0, but
not running on a cpu.
- btrfs_commit_transaction stuck trying to acquire the sem as a writer.
(running delayed_refs, deleting csums for unreferenced data extents)
This results in arbitrarily long transactions. This then results in
seriously degraded performance for any cgroup using the filesystem (the
victim cgroup in the script).
It isn't an academic problem, as we see this exact problem in production
at Meta with one cgroup over its memory limit ruining btrfs performance
for the whole system, stalling critical system services that depend on
btrfs syncs.
The underlying scheduling "problem" with global rwsems is sort of thorny
and apparently well known and was discussed at LPC 2024, for example.
As a result, our main lever in the short term is just trying to reduce
contention on our various rwsems with an eye to reducing the frequency
of write locking, to avoid disabling the read lock fast acquisition path.
Luckily, it seems likely that many reads are for old extents written
many transactions ago, and that for those we *can* in fact search the
commit root. The commit_root_sem only gets taken write once, near the
end of transaction commit, no matter how much memory pressure there is,
so we have much less contention between readers and writers.
This change detects when we are trying to read an old extent (according
to extent map generation) and then wires that through bio_ctrl to the
btrfs_bio, which unfortunately isn't allocated yet when we have this
information. When we go to lookup the csums in lookup_bio_sums we can
check this condition on the btrfs_bio and do the commit root lookup
accordingly.
Note that a single bio_ctrl might collect a few extent_maps into a single
bio, so it is important to track a maximum generation across all the
extent_maps used for each bio to make an accurate decision on whether it
is valid to look in the commit root. If any extent_map is updated in the
current generation, we can't use the commit root.
