Pull zstd support from Chris Mason:
"Nick Terrell's patch series to add zstd support to the kernel has been
floating around for a while. After talking with Dave Sterba, Herbert
and Phillip, we decided to send the whole thing in as one pull
request.
zstd is a big win in speed over zlib and in compression ratio over
lzo, and the compression team here at FB has gotten great results
using it in production. Nick will continue to update the kernel side
with new improvements from the open source zstd userland code.
Nick has a number of benchmarks for the main zstd code in his lib/zstd
commit:
I ran the benchmarks on a Ubuntu 14.04 VM with 2 cores and 4 GiB
of RAM. The VM is running on a MacBook Pro with a 3.1 GHz Intel
Core i7 processor, 16 GB of RAM, and a SSD. I benchmarked using
`silesia.tar` [3], which is 211,988,480 B large. Run the following
commands for the benchmark:
sudo modprobe zstd_compress_test
sudo mknod zstd_compress_test c 245 0
sudo cp silesia.tar zstd_compress_test
The time is reported by the time of the userland `cp`.
The MB/s is computed with
1,536,217,008 B / time(buffer size, hash)
which includes the time to copy from userland.
The Adjusted MB/s is computed with
1,536,217,088 B / (time(buffer size, hash) - time(buffer size, none)).
The memory reported is the amount of memory the compressor
requests.

I benchmarked zstd decompression using the same method on the same
machine. The benchmark file is located in the upstream zstd repo
under `contrib/linux-kernel/zstd_decompress_test.c` [4]. The
memory reported is the amount of memory required to decompress
data compressed with the given compression level. If you know the
maximum size of your input, you can reduce the memory usage of
decompression irrespective of the compression level.

This is a minimal patch intended to be backported to older kernels.
We're going to extend the string specifying the compression method and
this would fail on kernels before that change (the string is compared
exactly).
Relax the string matching only to the prefix, ie. ignoring anything that
goes after "zlib" or "lzo", regardless of th format extension we decide
to use. This applies to the mount options and properties.
That way, patched old kernels could be booted on systems already
utilizing the new compression spec.
Applicable since commit 63541927c8, v3.14.

This is preparatory for separating inode compression requested by defrag
and set via properties. This will fix a usability bug when defrag will
reset compression type to NONE. If the file has compression set via
property, it will not apply anymore (until next mount or reset through
command line).
We're going to fix that by adding another variable just for the defrag
call and won't touch the property. The defrag will have higher priority
when deciding whether to compress the data.

Add zstd compression and decompression support to BtrFS. zstd at its
fastest level compresses almost as well as zlib, while offering much
faster compression and decompression, approaching lzo speeds.
I benchmarked btrfs with zstd compression against no compression, lzo
compression, and zlib compression. I benchmarked two scenarios. Copying
a set of files to btrfs, and then reading the files. Copying a tarball
to btrfs, extracting it to btrfs, and then reading the extracted files.
After every operation, I call `sync` and include the sync time.
Between every pair of operations I unmount and remount the filesystem
to avoid caching. The benchmark files can be found in the upstream
zstd source repository under
`contrib/linux-kernel/{btrfs-benchmark.sh,btrfs-extract-benchmark.sh}`
[1] [2].
I ran the benchmarks on a Ubuntu 14.04 VM with 2 cores and 4 GiB of RAM.
The VM is running on a MacBook Pro with a 3.1 GHz Intel Core i7 processor,
16 GB of RAM, and a SSD.
The first compression benchmark is copying 10 copies of the unzipped
Silesia corpus [3] into a BtrFS filesystem mounted with
`-o compress-force=Method`. The decompression benchmark times how long
it takes to `tar` all 10 copies into `/dev/null`. The compression ratio is
measured by comparing the output of `df` and `du`. See the benchmark file
[1] for details. I benchmarked multiple zstd compression levels, although
the patch uses zstd level 1.
| Method | Ratio | Compression MB/s | Decompression speed |
|---------|-------|------------------|---------------------|
| None | 0.99 | 504 | 686 |
| lzo | 1.66 | 398 | 442 |
| zlib | 2.58 | 65 | 241 |
| zstd 1 | 2.57 | 260 | 383 |
| zstd 3 | 2.71 | 174 | 408 |
| zstd 6 | 2.87 | 70 | 398 |
| zstd 9 | 2.92 | 43 | 406 |
| zstd 12 | 2.93 | 21 | 408 |
| zstd 15 | 3.01 | 11 | 354 |
The next benchmark first copies `linux-4.11.6.tar` [4] to btrfs. Then it
measures the compression ratio, extracts the tar, and deletes the tar.
Then it measures the compression ratio again, and `tar`s the extracted
files into `/dev/null`. See the benchmark file [2] for details.
| Method | Tar Ratio | Extract Ratio | Copy (s) | Extract (s)| Read (s) |
|--------|-----------|---------------|----------|------------|----------|
| None | 0.97 | 0.78 | 0.981 | 5.501 | 8.807 |
| lzo | 2.06 | 1.38 | 1.631 | 8.458 | 8.585 |
| zlib | 3.40 | 1.86 | 7.750 | 21.544 | 11.744 |

Currently btrfs_ino takes a struct inode and this causes a lot of
internal btrfs functions which consume this ino to take a VFS inode,
rather than btrfs' own struct btrfs_inode. In order to fix this "leak"
of VFS structs into the internals of btrfs first it's necessary to
eliminate all uses of struct inode for the purpose of inode. This patch
does that by using BTRFS_I to convert an inode to btrfs_inode. With
this problem eliminated subsequent patches will start eliminating the
passing of struct inode altogether, eventually resulting in a lot cleaner
code.

This patch eliminates the last item of prop_handlers array which is used
to check end of array and instead uses ARRAY_SIZE macro.
Though this is a very tiny optimization, using ARRAY_SIZE macro is a
good practice to iterate array.

This change adds infrastructure to allow for generic properties for
inodes. Properties are name/value pairs that can be associated with
inodes for different purposes. They are stored as xattrs with the
prefix "btrfs."
Properties can be inherited - this means when a directory inode has
inheritable properties set, these are added to new inodes created
under that directory. Further, subvolumes can also have properties
associated with them, and they can be inherited from their parent
subvolume. Naturally, directory properties have priority over subvolume
properties (in practice a subvolume property is just a regular
property associated with the root inode, objectid 256, of the
subvolume's fs tree).
This change also adds one specific property implementation, named
"compression", whose values can be "lzo" or "zlib" and it's an
inheritable property.
The corresponding changes to btrfs-progs were also implemented.
A patch with xfstests for this feature will follow once there's
agreement on this change/feature.
Further, the script at the bottom of this commit message was used to
do some benchmarks to measure any performance penalties of this feature.
Basically the tests correspond to:
Test 1 - create a filesystem and mount it with compress-force=lzo,
then sequentially create N files of 64Kb each, measure how long it took
to create the files, unmount the filesystem, mount the filesystem and
perform an 'ls -lha' against the test directory holding the N files, and
report the time the command took.
Test 2 - create a filesystem and don't use any compression option when
mounting it - instead set the compression property of the subvolume's
root to 'lzo'. Then create N files of 64Kb, and report the time it took.
The unmount the filesystem, mount it again and perform an 'ls -lha' like
in the former test. This means every single file ends up with a property
(xattr) associated to it.
Test 3 - same as test 2, but uses 4 properties - 3 are duplicates of the
compression property, have no real effect other than adding more work
when inheriting properties and taking more btree leaf space.
Test 4 - same as test 3 but with 10 properties per file.
Results (in seconds, and averages of 5 runs each), for different N
numbers of files follow.
* Without properties (test 1)
file creation time ls -lha time
10 000 files 3.49 0.76
100 000 files 47.19 8.37
1 000 000 files 518.51 107.06
* With 1 property (compression property set to lzo - test 2)
file creation time ls -lha time
10 000 files 3.63 0.93
100 000 files 48.56 9.74
1 000 000 files 537.72 125.11
* With 4 properties (test 3)
file creation time ls -lha time
10 000 files 3.94 1.20
100 000 files 52.14 11.48
1 000 000 files 572.70 142.13
* With 10 properties (test 4)
file creation time ls -lha time
10 000 files 4.61 1.35
100 000 files 58.86 13.83
1 000 000 files 656.01 177.61
The increased latencies with properties are essencialy because of:
*) When creating an inode, we now synchronously write 1 more item
(an xattr item) for each property inherited from the parent dir
(or subvolume). This could be done in an asynchronous way such
as we do for dir intex items (delayed-inode.c), which could help
reduce the file creation latency;
*) With properties, we now have larger fs trees. For this particular
test each xattr item uses 75 bytes of leaf space in the fs tree.
This could be less by using a new item for xattr items, instead of
the current btrfs_dir_item, since we could cut the 'location' and
'type' fields (saving 18 bytes) and maybe 'transid' too (saving a
total of 26 bytes per xattr item) from the btrfs_dir_item type.
Also tried batching the xattr insertions (ignoring proper hash
collision handling, since it didn't exist) when creating files that
inherit properties from their parent inode/subvolume, but the end
results were (surprisingly) essentially the same.
