reiserfs_commit_write() is always called with the write lock held.
Thus the current calls to reiserfs_write_lock() in this function are
acquiring the lock recursively.
We can safely drop them.
This also solves further assumptions for this lock to be really
released while calling reiserfs_write_unlock().

reiserfs_mkdir() acquires the reiserfs lock, assuming it has been called
from the dir inodes callbacks, without the lock held.
But it can also be called from other internal sites such as
reiserfs_xattr_init() which already holds the lock. This recursive
locking leads to further wrong assumptions. For example, later calls
to reiserfs_mutex_lock_safe() won't actually unlock the reiserfs lock
the time we acquire a given mutex, creating unexpected lock inversions.

reiserfs_xattr_init is called with the reiserfs write lock held, but
if the ".reiserfs_priv" entry is not created, we take the superblock
root directory inode mutex until .reiserfs_priv is created.
This creates a lock dependency inversion against other sites such as
reiserfs_file_release() which takes an inode mutex and the reiserfs
lock after.

When do_balance() balances the tree, a trick is performed to
provide the ability for other tree writers/readers to check whether
do_balance() is executing concurrently (requires CONFIG_REISERFS_CHECK).
This is done to protect concurrent accesses to the tree. The trick
is the following:
When do_balance is called, a unique global variable called cur_tb
takes a pointer to the current tree to be rebalanced.
Once do_balance finishes its work, cur_tb takes the NULL value.
Then, concurrent tree readers/writers just have to check the value
of cur_tb to ensure do_balance isn't executing concurrently.
If it is, then it proves that schedule() occured on do_balance(),
which then relaxed the bkl that protected the tree.
Now that the bkl has be turned into a mutex, this check is still
fine even though do_balance() becomes preemptible: the write lock
will not be automatically released on schedule(), so the tree is
still protected.
But this is only fine if we have a single reiserfs mountpoint.
Indeed, because the bkl is a global lock, it didn't allowed
concurrent executions between a tree reader/writer in a mount point
and a do_balance() on another tree from another mountpoint.
So assuming all these readers/writers weren't supposed to be
reentrant, the current check now sometimes detect false positives with
the current per-superblock mutex which allows this reentrancy.
This patch keeps the concurrent tree accesses check but moves it
per superblock, so that only trees from a same mount point are
checked to be not accessed concurrently.

While searching a pathname, an inode mutex can be acquired
in do_lookup() which calls reiserfs_lookup() which in turn
acquires the write lock.
On the other side reiserfs_fill_super() can acquire the write_lock
and then call reiserfs_lookup_privroot() which can acquire an
inode mutex (the root of the mount point).
So we theoretically risk an AB - BA lock inversion that could lead
to a deadlock.
As for other lock dependencies found since the bkl to mutex
conversion, the fix is to use reiserfs_mutex_lock_safe() which
drops the lock dependency to the write lock.

search_by_key() is the site which most requires the lock.
This is mostly because it is a very central function and also
because it releases/reaqcuires the write lock at least once each
time it is called.
Such release/reacquire creates a lot of contention in this place and
also opens more the window which let another thread changing the tree.
When it happens, the current path searching over the tree must be
retried from the beggining (the root) which is a wasteful and
time consuming recovery.
This patch factorizes two release/reacquire sequences:
- reading leaf nodes blocks
- reading current block
The latter immediately follows the former.
The whole sequence is safe as a single unlocked section because
we check just after if the tree has changed during these operations.

reiserfs_mutex_lock_safe() is a hack to avoid any dependency between
an internal reiserfs mutex and the write lock, it has been proposed
to follow the old bkl logic.
The code does the following:
while (!mutex_trylock(m)) {
reiserfs_write_unlock(s);
schedule();
reiserfs_write_lock(s);
}
It then imitate the implicit behaviour of the lock when it was
a Bkl and hadn't such dependency:
mutex_lock(m) {
if (fastpath)
let's go
else {
wait_for_mutex() {
schedule() {
unlock_kernel()
reacquire_lock_kernel()
}
}
}
}
The problem is that by using such explicit schedule(), we don't
benefit of the adaptive mutex spinning on owner.
The logic in use now is:
reiserfs_write_unlock(s);
mutex_lock(m); // -> possible adaptive spinning
reiserfs_write_lock(s);

search_by_key() is a central function in reiserfs which searches
the patch in the fs tree from the root to a node given its key.
It is the function that is most requesting the write lock
because it's a path very often used.
Also we forget to release the lock while reading the next tree node,
making us holding the lock in a wasteful way.
Then we release the lock while reading the current node and its childs,
all-in-one. It should be safe because we have a reference to these
blocks and even if we read a block that will be concurrently changed,
we have an fs_changed check later that will make us retry the path from
the root.

reiserfs_get_block() is one of these sites where the write lock might
be acquired recursively.
It's a particular problem because this function is called very often.
It's a hot spot which needs to reschedule() periodically while converting
direct items to indirect ones because it can take some time.
Then if we are applying the write lock release/reacquire pattern on
schedule() here, it may not produce the desired effect since we may have
locked in more than one depth.
The solution is to use reiserfs_write_lock_once() which won't try
to reacquire the lock recursively. Then the lock will be *really*
released before schedule().
Also, we only release the lock if TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set to not
create wasteful numerous contentions.

reiserfs_dirty_inode() is the super_operations::dirty_inode() callback
of reiserfs. It can be called from different contexts where the write

But this function also grab the write lock (possibly recursively).
Subsequent release of the lock before sleep will actually not release

This patch is an attempt to remove the Bkl based locking scheme from
reiserfs and is intended.
It is a bit inspired from an old attempt by Peter Zijlstra:
http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0704.2/2174.html
The bkl is heavily used in this filesystem to prevent from
concurrent write accesses on the filesystem.
Reiserfs makes a deep use of the specific properties of the Bkl:
- It can be acqquired recursively by a same task
- It is released on the schedule() calls and reacquired when schedule() returns
The two properties above are a roadmap for the reiserfs write locking so it's
very hard to simply replace it with a common mutex.
- We need a recursive-able locking unless we want to restructure several blocks
of the code.
- We need to identify the sites where the bkl was implictly relaxed
(schedule, wait, sync, etc...) so that we can in turn release and
reacquire our new lock explicitly.
Such implicit releases of the lock are often required to let other
resources producer/consumer do their job or we can suffer unexpected
starvations or deadlocks.
So the new lock that replaces the bkl here is a per superblock mutex with a
specific property: it can be acquired recursively by a same task, like the
bkl.
For such purpose, we integrate a lock owner and a lock depth field on the
superblock information structure.
The first axis on this patch is to turn reiserfs_write_(un)lock() function
into a wrapper to manage this mutex. Also some explicit calls to
lock_kernel() have been converted to reiserfs_write_lock() helpers.
The second axis is to find the important blocking sites (schedule...(),
wait_on_buffer(), sync_dirty_buffer(), etc...) and then apply an explicit
release of the write lock on these locations before blocking. Then we can
safely wait for those who can give us resources or those who need some.
Typically this is a fight between the current writer, the reiserfs workqueue
(aka the async commiter) and the pdflush threads.
The third axis is a consequence of the second. The write lock is usually
on top of a lock dependency chain which can include the journal lock, the
flush lock or the commit lock. So it's dangerous to release and trying to
reacquire the write lock while we still hold other locks.
This is fine with the bkl:
T1 T2
lock_kernel()
mutex_lock(A)
unlock_kernel()
// do something
lock_kernel()
mutex_lock(A) -> already locked by T1
schedule() (and then unlock_kernel())
lock_kernel()
mutex_unlock(A)
....
This is not fine with a mutex:
T1 T2
mutex_lock(write)
mutex_lock(A)
mutex_unlock(write)
// do something
mutex_lock(write)
mutex_lock(A) -> already locked by T1
schedule()
mutex_lock(write) -> already locked by T2
deadlock
The solution in this patch is to provide a helper which releases the write
lock and sleep a bit if we can't lock a mutex that depend on it. It's another
simulation of the bkl behaviour.
The last axis is to locate the fs callbacks that are called with the bkl held,
according to Documentation/filesystem/Locking.
Those are:
- reiserfs_remount
- reiserfs_fill_super
- reiserfs_put_super
Reiserfs didn't need to explicitly lock because of the context of these callbacks.
But now we must take care of that with the new locking.
After this patch, reiserfs suffers from a slight performance regression (for now).
On UP, a high volume write with dd reports an average of 27 MB/s instead
of 30 MB/s without the patch applied.

When btrfs_get_extent is reading inline file items for readpage,
it needs to copy the inline extent into the page. If the
inline extent doesn't cover all of the page, that means there
is a hole in the file, or that our file is smaller than one
page.
readpage does zeroing for the case where the file is smaller than one
page, but nobody is currently zeroing for the case where there is
a hole after the inline item.

Data COW means that whenever we write to a file, we replace any old
extent pointers with new ones. There was a window where a readpage
might find the old extent pointers on disk and cache them in the
extent_map tree in ram in the middle of a given write replacing them.
Even though both the readpage and the write had their respective bytes
in the file locked, the extent readpage inserts may cover more bytes than
it had locked down.
This commit closes the race by keeping the new extent pinned in the extent
map tree until after the on-disk btree is properly setup with the new
extent pointers.
Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
Btrfs writes go through delalloc to the data=ordered code. This
makes sure that all of the data is on disk before the metadata
that references it. The tracking means that we have to make sure
each page in an extent is fully written before we add that extent into
the on-disk btree.
This was done in the past by setting the EXTENT_ORDERED bit for the
range of an extent when it was added to the data=ordered code, and then
clearing the EXTENT_ORDERED bit in the extent state tree as each page
finished IO.
One of the reasons we had to do this was because sometimes pages are
magically dirtied without page_mkwrite being called. The EXTENT_ORDERED
bit is checked at writepage time, and if it isn't there, our page become
dirty without going through the proper path.
These bit operations make for a number of rbtree searches for each page,
and can cause considerable lock contention.
This commit switches from the EXTENT_ORDERED bit to use PagePrivate2.
As pages go into the ordered code, PagePrivate2 is set on each one.
This is a cheap operation because we already have all the pages locked
and ready to go.
As IO finishes, the PagePrivate2 bit is cleared and the ordered
accoutning is updated for each page.
At writepage time, if the PagePrivate2 bit is missing, we go into the
writepage fixup code to handle improperly dirtied pages.

This changes the btrfs code to find delalloc ranges in the extent state
tree to use the new state caching code from set/test bit. It reduces

point while searching.

So, the page can't go away and its mapping can't change.
There is no need for the extra extent_state lock bits during writepage.

Many of the btrfs extent state tree users follow the same pattern.
They lock an extent range in the tree, do some operation and then
unlock.
This translates to at least 2 rbtree searches, and maybe more if they
are doing operations on the extent state tree. A locked extent
in the tree isn't going to be merged or changed, and so we can
safely return the extent state structure as a cached handle.
This changes set_extent_bit to give back a cached handle, and also
changes both set_extent_bit and clear_extent_bit to use the cached
handle if it is available.

Btrfs is currently mirroring some of the page state bits into
its extent state tree. The goal behind this was to use it in supporting
blocksizes other than the page size.
But, we don't currently support that, and we're using quite a lot of CPU
on the rb tree and its spin lock. This commit starts a series of
cleanups to reduce the amount of work done in the extent state tree as
part of each IO.
This commit:
* Adds the ability to lock an extent in the state tree and also set
other bits. The idea is to do locking and delalloc in one call
* Removes the EXTENT_WRITEBACK and EXTENT_DIRTY bits. Btrfs is using
a combination of the page bits and the ordered write code for this
instead.

As the extent state tree is manipulated, there are call backs
that are used to take extra actions when different state bits are set
or cleared. One example of this is a counter for the total number
of delayed allocation bytes in a single inode and in the whole FS.
When new states are inserted, this callback is being done before we
properly setup the new state. This hasn't caused problems before
because the lock bit was always done first, and the existing call backs
don't care about the lock bit.
This patch makes sure the state is properly setup before using the
callback, which is important for later optimizations that do more work
without using the lock bit.

There are two main users of the extent_map tree. The
first is regular file inodes, where it is evenly spread
between readers and writers.
The second is the chunk allocation tree, which maps blocks from
logical addresses to phyiscal ones, and it is 99.99% reads.
The mapping tree is a point of lock contention during heavy IO
workloads, so this commit switches things to a rw lock.

The btrfs io submission thread tries to back off congested devices in
favor of rotating off to another disk.
But, it tries to make sure it submits at least some IO before rotating
on (the others may be congested too), and so it has a magic number of
requests it tries to write before it hops.
This makes the magic number smaller. Testing shows that we're spending
too much time on congested devices and leaving the other devices idle.

When btrfs fills a large delayed allocation extent, it is a good idea
to try and convince the write_cache_pages caller to go ahead and
write a good chunk of that extent. The extra IO is basically free
because we know it is contiguous.

This changes the btrfs worker threads to batch work items
into a local list. It allows us to pull work items in
large chunks and significantly reduces the number of times we
need to take the worker thread spinlock.

The btrfs worker thread spinlock was being used both for the
queueing of IO and for the processing of ordered events.
The ordered events never happen from end_io handlers, and so they
don't need to use the _irq version of spinlocks. This adds a
dedicated lock to the ordered lists so they don't have to run
with irqs off.

The Btrfs set_extent_bit call currently searches the rbtree
every time it needs to find more extent_state objects to fill
the requested operation.
This adds a simple test with rb_next to see if the next object
in the tree was adjacent to the one we just found. If so,
we skip the search and just use the next object.

The Btrfs worker threads don't currently die off after they have
been idle for a while, leading to a lot of threads sitting around
doing nothing for each mount.
Also, they are unable to start atomically (from end_io hanlders).
This commit reworks the worker threads so they can be started
from end_io handlers (just setting a flag that asks for a thread
to be added at a later date) and so they can exit if they
have been idle for a long time.

Splice should update the modification and access times on regular
files just like read and write. Not updating mtime will confuse
backup tools, etc...
This patch only adds the time updates for regular files. For pipes
and other special files that splice touches the need for updating the
times is less clear. Let's discuss and fix that separately.
