Each time pick one dead root from the list and let the caller know if
it''s needed to continue. This should improve responsiveness during
umount and balance which at some point wait for cleaning all currently
queued dead roots.
A new dead root is added to the end of the list, so the snapshots
disappear in the order of deletion.
Process snapshot cleaning is now done only from the cleaner thread and
the others wake it if needed.

* btrfs_clean_old_snapshots is removed from the reloc loop, I don''t
know if this
is safe wrt reloc''s assumptions
* btrfs_run_delayed_iputs is left in place in super_commit, may get removed as
well because transaction commit calls it in the end
* the responsiveness can be improved further if btrfs_drop_snapshot check
fs_closing, but this needs changes to error handling in the main reloc loop

Each time pick one dead root from the list and let the caller know if
it''s needed to continue. This should improve responsiveness during
umount and balance which at some point wait for cleaning all currently
queued dead roots.
A new dead root is added to the end of the list, so the snapshots
disappear in the order of deletion.
Process snapshot cleaning is now done only from the cleaner thread and
the others wake it if needed.

The mail did not make it to the list on Monday, anyway, now I have a few testing results to share. The umount responsiveness is much improved, it took a few seconds when there were many roots to clean scheduled. With $ echo ''func btrfs_drop_snapshot +pf'' > /sys/debug/kernel/dynamic_debug/control $ echo ''func btrfs_clean_one_deleted_snapshot +pf'' > /sys/debug/kernel/dynamic_debug/control one can watch how it proceeds. After umount and and mount, the cleaning process starts again, after 30 seconds when transaction commit triggers. Next test was to let it run with balance (just ''fi balance'', no other options). Worked well, but I''ve hit an oops from balance cancel command that was triggered sometime during the balance. According to the log it happened right after the balance finished. CCing Ilya, I''m not sure if this is somehow induced by the patch. 3407 BUG_ON(fs_info->balance_ctl || atomic_read(&fs_info->balance_running)); 3408 atomic_dec(&fs_info->balance_cancel_req); 3409 mutex_unlock(&fs_info->balance_mutex); 3410 return 0; 3411 } ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at fs/btrfs/volumes.c:3407! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: btrfs aoe dm_crypt loop [last unloaded: btrfs] CPU 0 Pid: 19117, comm: btrfs Tainted: G W 3.8.0-default+ #267 Intel RIP: 0010:[<ffffffffa0160919>] [<ffffffffa0160919>] btrfs_cancel_balance+0x179/0x180 [btrfs] RSP: 0018:ffff88005fddfd78 EFLAGS: 00010286 RAX: ffff88005fddffd8 RBX: ffff88005adec000 RCX: 0000000000000006 RDX: 0000000000000001 RSI: ffff880027cc88c0 RDI: 2222222222222222 RBP: ffff88005fddfdd8 R08: 2222222222222222 R09: 2222222222222222 R10: 2222222222222222 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: ffff88005adeeac8 R13: ffff88005adeeb70 R14: ffff88005fddfd78 R15: ffff88005adeeb88 FS: 00007fe136daa740(0000) GS:ffff88007dc00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 000000008005003b CR2: 00007ff04c655000 CR3: 000000005fc4b000 CR4: 00000000000007f0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000ffff0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Process btrfs (pid: 19117, threadinfo ffff88005fdde000, task ffff880027cc8240) Stack: 0000000000000000 ffff880027cc8240 ffffffff810745c0 ffff88005fddfd90 ffff88005fddfd90 ffffffff810a6c6d ffff88005fddfdc8 ffff88007724d6c0 ffff880055e6d000 0000000000000002 ffff880078ccc080 ffff880078ccc538 Call Trace: [<ffffffff810745c0>] ? wake_up_bit+0x40/0x40 [<ffffffff810a6c6d>] ? lock_release_holdtime+0x3d/0x1c0 [<ffffffffa016c8a3>] btrfs_ioctl+0x693/0x1d80 [btrfs] [<ffffffff81079723>] ? up_read+0x23/0x40 [<ffffffff8195e268>] ? __do_page_fault+0x238/0x590 [<ffffffff81087d1f>] ? local_clock+0x6f/0x80 [<ffffffff810a6909>] ? trace_hardirqs_off_caller+0x29/0xc0 [<ffffffff811708f8>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x98/0x560 [<ffffffff8195a906>] ? error_sti+0x5/0x6 [<ffffffff8195a458>] ? retint_swapgs+0x13/0x1b [<ffffffff81170e17>] sys_ioctl+0x57/0x90 [<ffffffff8139adce>] ? trace_hardirqs_on_thunk+0x3a/0x3f [<ffffffff81962e99>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b RIP [<ffffffffa0160919>] btrfs_cancel_balance+0x179/0x180 [btrfs] RSP <ffff88005fddfd78> ---[ end trace 930320f35566d010 ]--- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

So now if btrfs_drop_snapshot() returns -EAGAIN, then btrfs_clean_one_deleted_snapshot() will return 1, thus telling the caller "call me again", like your comment says. However, in this case we are unmounting, so is this ok?

Do you also agree with Josef, that it''s ok for BTRFS_IOC_SNAP_DESTROY not to commit the transaction, but just to detach from it? Had we committed, we would have ensured that ORPHAN_ITEM is in the root tree, thus preventing from subvol to re-appear after crash. It seems a little inconsistent with snap creation, where not only the transaction is committed, but delalloc flush is performed to ensure that all data is on disk before creating the snap.

The cases when we want send cleaner to sleep are when there''s nothing to do or the read-only case which is just a safety check.

The original snapshot code expected people to run sync first, but that''s not very user friendly. The idea is that if you write a file and then take a snapshot, that file should be in the snapshot. -chris -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

That a subvol/snapshot may appear after crash if transation commit did not happen does not feel so good. We know that the subvol is only scheduled for deletion and needs to be processed by cleaner. From that point I''d rather see the commit to happen to avoid any unexpected surprises. A subvolume that re-appears still holds the data references and consumes space although the user does not assume that. Automated snapshotting and deleting needs some guarantees about the behaviour and what to do after a crash. So now it has to process the backlog of previously deleted snapshots and verify that they''re not there, compared to "deleted -> will never appear, can forget about it". david -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Currently, the user space has no idea when the deletion will start, or when it is completed (it has to track the ROOT_ITEM, drop progress, ORPHAN_ITEM etc.). That''s why I was thinking, that at least committing a transaction on snap_destroy could ensure that deletion will not be reverted.
