progs integration branch moved to master (new default leafsize)

Hi everyone,

This patch is now the tip of the master branch for btrfs-progs, which
has been updated to include most of the backlogged progs patches.
Please take a look and give it a shake.  This was based on Dave''s
integration tree (many thanks Dave!) minus the patches for online dedup.
I''ve pulled in the coverity fixes and a few others from the list as
well.

The patch below switches our default mkfs leafsize up to 16K.  This
should be a better choice in almost every workload, but now is your
chance to complain if it causes trouble.

--------------------------------
16KB is faster and leads to less metadata fragmentation in almost all
workloads.  It does slightly increase lock contention on the root nodes
in some workloads, but that is best dealt with by adding more subvolumes
(for now).

This uses 16KB or the page size, whichever is bigger.  If you''re doing
a
mixed block group mkfs, it uses the sectorsize instead.

Since the kernel refuses to mount a mixed block group FS where the
metadata leaf size doesn''t match the data sectorsize, this also adds a
similar check during mkfs.

Thanks for that and nicely timely!

Compiling on Gentoo (3.11.5-gentoo, sys-fs/btrfs-progs-9999) gives:

Interesting and I was wondering about that. Good update.

Also, hopefully that is a little more friendly for SSDs where often you
see improved performance for 8kByte or 16kByte (aligned) writes...


Testing in progress,

We should also turn the extended refs on by default now, it''s been
around since 3.7, I''m not expecting backward compatibility issues in
general.

[ Sorry for the empty reply on the patch itself, fat fingered the quit
when I decided to reply here instead ]

This is pushed out now, thanks Dave!

I''m not seeing these warnings with the current master branch, could you
please rerun?

Does gentoo modify the optimizations from the Makefile?  We actually
have many strict-aliasing warnings, but I didn''t think they came up
until -O2.

At any rate, I''m adding -fno-strict-aliasing just to be sure.

For that system, I have -Os set in the Gentoo "make.conf".

Ok, please try with the current master to make sure the options are
being picked up properly.  If you''re overriding the
-fno-strict-aliasing, please don''t ;)

FWIW, Gentoo lets users set their own CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS/LDFLAGS, etc. 

Gentoo recommends -O2 at the global system level and I believe sets that 
as the default before user modification, as well.  -Os is considered a 
viable option, but users setting -O3 or -Ofast or whatever are often 
considered ricers and can be told to try to reproduce bugs with -O2 set.  
And -O1 or lower is not recommended either, simply because it''s not 
widely tested.

Individual package builds can and routinely do, however, override or 
filter specific flags where they''ve been demonstrated to be
problematic,
and in some cases, may add flags such as -fno-strict-aliasing where 
upstream code requires it.

But of course a (normally masked unless a user specifically unmasks it) 
-9999 version is gentoo''s way of noting a live-from-upstream-vcs
version,
and that''s the case here as well.  btrfs-progs-9999 fetches and builds 
the live-git btrfs-progs direct from upstream git, and as such, it''s 
subject to far less QA than ~arch (~x86, ~amd64, etc) aka testing 
packages, which in turn are less stable-tested than stable arch (x86, 
amd64, etc) packages.  Basically, gentooers unmasking -9999 packages are 
expected to be able to deal with any breakage a live-vcs build may have 
and/or trigger.

And it''s likely that -fno-strict-aliasing simply hasn''t made
it to the
live build yet.  But by the same token, I don''t believe it''ll
override an
upstream makefile''s use of the flag, so now that you''ve added
it...

... And indeed, after just rebuilding it here, with the commit (8116550) 
adding -fno-strict-aliasing as HEAD, I see no further type-punned pointer 
warnings. =:^)

I do however still see this:

cmds-restore.c: In function ''next_leaf'':
cmds-restore.c:174:20: warning: array subscript is above array bounds [-
Warray-bounds]
  slot = path->slots[level] + 1;
                    ^

(I am running a newer gcc than Martin, however:
gcc (Gentoo 4.8.1-r1 p1.2, pie-0.5.7) 4.8.1
)

btrfs-progs now compiles with no warnings given. That looks like a
"fixed".


# emerge -vD btrfs-progs

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
