* include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo2010-03-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Make btrfs_drop_snapshot work in larger and more efficient chunksChris Mason2009-02-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Every transaction in btrfs creates a new snapshot, and then schedules the snapshot from the last transaction for deletion. Snapshot deletion works by walking down the btree and dropping the reference counts on each btree block during the walk. If if a given leaf or node has a reference count greater than one, the reference count is decremented and the subtree pointed to by that node is ignored. If the reference count is one, walking continues down into that node or leaf, and the references of everything it points to are decremented. The old code would try to work in small pieces, walking down the tree until it found the lowest leaf or node to free and then returning. This was very friendly to the rest of the FS because it didn't have a huge impact on other operations. But it wouldn't always keep up with the rate that new commits added new snapshots for deletion, and it wasn't very optimal for the extent allocation tree because it wasn't finding leaves that were close together on disk and processing them at the same time. This changes things to walk down to a level 1 node and then process it in bulk. All the leaf pointers are sorted and the leaves are dropped in order based on their extent number. The extent allocation tree and commit code are now fast enough for this kind of bulk processing to work without slowing the rest of the FS down. Overall it does less IO and is better able to keep up with snapshot deletions under high load. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
* Btrfs: Fix checkpatch.pl warningsChris Mason2009-01-05
| | | | | | | There were many, most are fixed now. struct-funcs.c generates some warnings but these are bogus. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
* Btrfs: add and improve commentsChris Mason2008-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | This improves the comments at the top of many functions. It didn't dive into the guts of functions because I was trying to avoid merging problems with the new allocator and back reference work. extent-tree.c and volumes.c were both skipped, and there is definitely more work todo in cleaning and commenting the code.

* Btrfs: drop WARN_ON from btrfs_add_leaf_refChris Mason2008-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | btrfs_add_leaf_ref was doing checks on the objects it found in the rbtree to make sure they were properly linked into the tree. But, the field it was checking can be safely changed outside of the tree spin lock. The WARN_ON was for debugging the initial implementation and can be safely removed.

* Btrfs: Add shared reference cacheZheng Yan2008-09-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Btrfs has a cache of reference counts in leaves, allowing it to avoid reading tree leaves while deleting snapshots. To reduce contention with multiple subvolumes, this cache is private to each subvolume. This patch adds shared reference cache support. The new space balancing code plays with multiple subvols at the same time, So the old per-subvol reference cache is not well suited. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
* Btrfs: implement memory reclaim for leaf reference cacheYan2008-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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: Leaf reference cache updateChris Mason2008-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This changes the reference cache to make a single cache per root instead of one cache per transaction, and to key by the byte number of the disk block instead of the keys inside. This makes it much less likely to have cache misses if a snapshot or something has an extra reference on a higher node or a leaf while the first transaction that added the leaf into the cache is dropping. Some throttling is added to functions that free blocks heavily so they wait for old transactions to drop. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
* Btrfs: Add a leaf reference cacheYan Zheng2008-09-25
Much of the IO done while dropping snapshots is done looking up leaves in the filesystem trees to see if they point to any extents and to drop the references on any extents found. This creates a cache so that IO isn't required. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
