I noticed that if the free space cache has an error writing out it's data it
won't actually error out, it will just carry on. This is because it doesn't
check the return value of btrfs_wait_ordered_range, which didn't actually return
anything. So fix this in order to keep us from making free space cache look

By the current code, if the requested size is very large, and all the extents

the requested size in half and search the cache again and again until it gets
down to the size the allocator can return. In fact, we can know the max extent
size in the cache after the first search, so we needn't cut the size in half
repeatedly, and just use the max extent size directly. This way can save
lots of cpu time and make the performance grow up when there are only fragments
in the free space cache.
According to my test, if there are only 4KB free space extents in the fs,
and the total size of those extents are 256MB, we can reduce the execute
time of the following test from 5.4s to 1.4s.

With more than one btrfs volume mounted, it can be very difficult to find
out which volume is hitting an error. btrfs_error() will print this, but
it is currently rigged as more of a fatal error handler, while many of
the printk()s are currently for debugging and yet-unhandled cases.
This patch just changes the functions where the device information is
already available. Some cases remain where the root or fs_info is not
passed to the function emitting the error.
This may introduce some confusion with volumes backed by multiple devices
emitting errors referring to the primary device in the set instead of the
one on which the error occurred.
Use btrfs_printk(fs_info, format, ...) rather than writing the device
string every time, and introduce macro wrappers ala XFS for brevity.
Since the function already cannot be used for continuations, print a
newline as part of the btrfs_printk() message rather than at each caller.

Dave pointed out that xfstests 273 will tell you that it failed to load the
space cache for a block group when it remounts. This is because we run out
of space writing out the block group cache. This is ok and is working as it
should, but let's try to be a bit nicer. This happens because the block
group was 100mb, but bitmap entries cover 128mb, so we were only getting
extent entries for this block group, which ended up being too many to fit in
the free space cache. So relax the bitmap size requirements to block groups
that are at least half the size a bitmap will cover or larger, that way we
can still keep the amount of space used in the free space cache low enough
to be able to write it out. With this patch I no longer fail to write out
the free space cache. Thanks,

This builds on David Woodhouse's original Btrfs raid5/6 implementation.
The code has changed quite a bit, blame Chris Mason for any bugs.
Read/modify/write is done after the higher levels of the filesystem have
prepared a given bio. This means the higher layers are not responsible
for building full stripes, and they don't need to query for the topology
of the extents that may get allocated during delayed allocation runs.
It also means different files can easily share the same stripe.
But, it does expose us to incorrect parity if we crash or lose power
while doing a read/modify/write cycle. This will be addressed in a
later commit.
Scrub is unable to repair crc errors on raid5/6 chunks.
Discard does not work on raid5/6 (yet)
The stripe size is fixed at 64KiB per disk. This will be tunable
in a later commit.

A user reported a BUG_ON(ret) that occured during tree log replay. Ret was
-EAGAIN, so what I think happened is that we removed an extent that covered
a bitmap entry and an extent entry. We remove the part from the bitmap and
return -EAGAIN and then search for the next piece we want to remove, which
happens to be an entire extent entry, so we just free the sucker and return.
The problem is ret is still set to -EAGAIN so we trip the BUG_ON(). The
user used btrfs-zero-log so I'm not 100% sure this is what happened so I've
added a WARN_ON() to catch the other possibility. Thanks,

so rework the remove function so it can handle this case properly. This

When we write out the free space cache we will write out everything that is
in our in memory tree, and then we will just walk the pinned extents tree
and write anything we see there. The problem with this is that during
normal operations the pinned extents will be merged back into the free space
tree normally, and then we can allocate space from the merged areas and
commit them to the tree log. If we crash and replay the tree log we will
crash again because the tree log will try to free up space from what looks
like 2 seperate but contiguous entries, since one entry is from the original
free space cache and the other was a pinned extent that was merged back. To
fix this we just need to walk the free space tree after we load it and merge
contiguous entries back together. This will keep the tree log stuff from
breaking and it will make the allocator behave more nicely. Thanks,

We noticed that the ordered extent completion doesn't really rely on having
a page and that it could be done independantly of ending the writeback on a
page. This patch makes us not do the threaded endio stuff for normal
buffered writes and direct writes so we can end page writeback as soon as
possible (in irq context) and only start threads to do the ordered work when
it is actually done. Compression needs to be reworked some to take
advantage of this as well, but atm it has to do a find_get_page in its endio
handler so it must be done in its own thread. This makes direct writes
quite a bit faster. Thanks,

"We've merged in the error handling patches from SuSE. These are
already shipping in the sles kernel, and they give btrfs the ability
to abort transactions and go readonly on errors. It involves a lot of
churn as they clarify BUG_ONs, and remove the ones we now properly
deal with.
Josef reworked the way our metadata interacts with the page cache.
page->private now points to the btrfs extent_buffer object, which
makes everything faster. He changed it so we write an whole extent
buffer at a time instead of allowing individual pages to go down,,
which will be important for the raid5/6 code (for the 3.5 merge
window ;)
Josef also made us more aggressive about dropping pages for metadata
blocks that were freed due to COW. Overall, our metadata caching is
much faster now.
We've integrated my patch for metadata bigger than the page size.
This allows metadata blocks up to 64KB in size. In practice 16K and
32K seem to work best. For workloads with lots of metadata, this cuts
down the size of the extent allocation tree dramatically and fragments
much less.
Scrub was updated to support the larger block sizes, which ended up
being a fairly large change (thanks Stefan Behrens).
We also have an assortment of fixes and updates, especially to the

btrfs currently handles most errors with BUG_ON. This patch is a work-in-
progress but aims to handle most errors other than internal logic
errors and ENOMEM more gracefully.
This iteration prevents most crashes but can run into lockups with
the page lock on occasion when the timing "works out."
