Daniel Blueman reported a bug with fio+balance on a ramdisk setup.
Basically what happens is the balance relocates a tree block which will drop
the implicit refs for all of its children and adds a full backref. Once the
block is relocated we have to add the implicit refs back, so when we cow the
block again we add the implicit refs for its children back. The problem
comes when the original drop ref doesn't get run before we add the implicit
refs back. The delayed ref stuff will specifically prefer ADD operations
over DROP to keep us from freeing up an extent that will have references to
it, so we try to add the implicit ref before it is actually removed and we
panic. This worked fine before because the add would have just canceled the
drop out and we would have been fine. But the backref walking work needs to
be able to freeze the delayed ref stuff in time so we have this ever
increasing sequence number that gets attached to all new delayed ref updates
which makes us not merge refs and we run into this issue.
So to fix this we need to merge delayed refs. So everytime we run a
clustered ref we need to try and merge all of its delayed refs. The backref
walking stuff locks the delayed ref head before processing, so if we have it
locked we are safe to merge any refs inside of the sequence number. If
there is no sequence number we can merge all refs. Doing this not only
fixes our bug but keeps the delayed ref code from adding and removing
useless refs and batching together multiple refs into one search instead of
one search per delayed ref, which will really help our commit times. I ran
this with Daniels test and 276 and I haven't seen any problems. Thanks,

Btrfs: put back delayed refs that are too new
I added a window where the delayed_ref's head->ref_mod code can diverge
from the sum of the remaining refs, because we release the head->mutex
in the middle. This leads to btrfs_lookup_extent_info returning wrong
numbers. This patch fixes this by adjusting the head's ref_mod with each
delayed ref we run.

Arne was complaining about the space cache having mismatching generation
numbers when debugging a deadlock. This is because we can run out of space
in our preallocated range for our space cache if you have a pretty
fragmented amount of space in your pinned space. So just increase the
amount of space we preallocate for space cache so we can be sure to have
enough space. This will only really affect data ranges since their the only
chunks that end up larger than 256MB. Thanks,

Commit a168650c introduced a waiting mechanism to prevent busy waiting in
btrfs_run_delayed_refs. This can deadlock with btrfs_run_ordered_operations,
where a tree_mod_seq is held while waiting for the io to complete, while
the end_io calls btrfs_run_delayed_refs.
This whole mechanism is unnecessary. If not enough runnable refs are
available to satisfy count, just return as count is more like a guideline
than a strict requirement.
In case we have to run all refs, commit transaction makes sure that no
other threads are working in the transaction anymore, so we just assert
here that no refs are blocked.

For backref walking, we've introduce delayed ref's sequence. However,
it changes our preallocation behavior.
The story is that when we preallocate an extent and then mark it written
piece by piece, the ideal case should be that we don't need to COW the
extent, which is why we use 'preallocate'.
But we may not make use of preallocation, since when we check for cross refs on
the extent, we may have two ref entries which have the same content except
the sequence value, and we recognize them as cross refs and do COW to allocate
another extent.
So we end up with several pieces of space instead of an whole extent.

Inodes always allocate free space with BTRFS_BLOCK_GROUP_DATA type,
which means every inode has the same BTRFS_I(inode)->free_space pointer.

Here is the whole story:
1)
A free space cache consists of two parts:
o free space cache inode, which is special becase it's stored in root tree.
o free space info, which is stored as the above inode's file data.
But we only build up another new inode and does not flush its free space info
onto disk when we _clear and setup_ free space cache, and this ends up with
that the block group cache's cache_state remains DC_SETUP instead of DC_WRITTEN.
And holding DC_SETUP means that we will not truncate this free space cache inode,
which means the disk offset of its file extent will remain _unchanged_ at least
until next transaction finishes committing itself.
2)
We can set a block group readonly when we relocate the block group.
However,
if the readonly block group covers the disk offset where our free space cache
inode is going to write, it will force the free space cache inode into
cow_file_range() and it'll end up hitting a BUG_ON.
3)
Due to the above analysis, we fix this bug by adding the missing dirty flag.
4)
However, it's not over, there is still another case, nospace_cache.
With nospace_cache, we do not want to set dirty flag, instead we just truncate
free space cache inode and bail out with setting cache state DC_WRITTEN.
We can benifit from it since it saves us another 'pre-allocation' part which
usually costs a lot.

So shrink_delalloc has grown all sorts of cruft over the years thanks to
many reworkings of how we track enospc. What happens now as we fill up the
disk is we will loop for freaking ever hoping to reclaim a arbitrary amount
of space of metadata, this was from when everybody flushed at the same time.
Now we only have people flushing one at a time. So instead of trying to
reclaim a huge amount of space, just try to flush a decent chunk of space,
and stop looping as soon as we have enough free space to satisfy our
reservation. This makes xfstests 224 go much faster. Thanks,

There is weird logic I had to put in place to make sure that when we were
adding csums that we'd used the delalloc block rsv instead of the global
block rsv. Part of this meant that we had to free up our transaction
reservation before we ran the delayed refs since csum deletion happens
during the delayed ref work. The problem with this is that when we release
a reservation we will add it to the global reserve if it is not full in
order to keep us going along longer before we have to force a transaction
commit. By releasing our reservation before we run delayed refs we don't
get the opportunity to drain down the global reserve for the work we did, so
we won't refill it as often. This isn't a problem per-se, it just results
in us possibly committing transactions more and more often, and in rare
cases could cause those WARN_ON()'s to pop in use_block_rsv because we ran
out of space in our block rsv.
This also helps us by holding onto space while the delayed refs run so we
don't end up with as many people trying to do things at the same time, which
again will help us not force commits or hit the use_block_rsv warnings.

Those crazy gentoo guys have been complaining about ENOSPC errors on their
portage volumes. This is because doing things like untar tends to create
lots of new files which will soak up all the reservation space in the
delayed inodes. Usually this gets papered over by the fact that we will try
and commit the transaction, however if this happens in the wrong spot or we
choose not to commit the transaction you will be screwed. So add the
ability to expclitly flush delayed inodes to free up space. Please test
this out guys to make sure it works since as usual I cannot reproduce.

We've got two mechanisms both required for reliable backref resolving (tree
mod log and holding back delayed refs). You cannot make use of one without
the other. So instead of requiring the user of this mechanism to setup both
correctly, we join them into a single interface.
Additionally, we stop inserting non-blockers into fs_info->tree_mod_seq_list
as we did before, which was of no value.

We track two conditions to decide if we should sleep while waiting for more
delayed refs, the number of delayed refs (num_refs) and the first entry in
the list of blockers (first_seq).
When we suspect staleness, we save num_refs and do one more cycle. If
nothing changes, we then save first_seq for later comparison and do
wait_event. We ought to save first_seq the very same moment we're saving
num_refs. Otherwise we cannot be sure that nothing has changed and we might
start waiting when we shouldn't, which could lead to starvation.

Miao pointed this out while I was working on an orphan problem that messing
with a bitfield where different ranges are protected by different locks
doesn't work out right. Turns out we've been doing this forever where we
have different parts of the bit field protected by either no lock at all or
different locks which could cause all sorts of weird problems including the
issue I was hitting. So instead make a runtime_flags thing that we use the
normal bit operations on that are all atomic so we can keep having our
no/different locking for the different flags and then make force_compress
it's own thing so it can be treated normally. Thanks,

Three callers of btrfs_free_tree_block or btrfs_alloc_tree_block passed
parameter for_cow = 1. In fact, these two functions should never mark
their tree modification operations as for_cow, because they can change

Hence, we remove the extra for_cow parameter from these functions and

verify_parent_transid needs to lock the extent range to make

But, a few callers are using it with spinlocks held. Most
of the time, the generation numbers are going to match, and
we don't want to switch to a blocking lock just for the error
case. This adds an atomic flag to verify_parent_transid,
and changes it to return EAGAIN if it needs to block to

It is basically a good thing if we are interruptible when waiting for
free space, but the generality in which it is implemented currently
leads to system calls being interruptible that are not documented this

corrupt repos under space pressure.
Instead we raise the bar to only be interruptible by SIGKILL.

that we don't load the free space cache if we're in a commit for deadlock
reasons, but since we're reading the cache and it hasn't changed yet we are
safe reading the inode and free space item from the commit root, so do that
and remove all of the deadlock checks so we don't unnecessarily skip loading

But if we find that we've used up system chunk space, we need to allocate a
