[PATCH] BTRFS-PROG: recursively subvolume snapshot and delete

Hi All,

the following patches implement the recursively snapshotting and
deleting of a subvolume. 

To snapshot recursively you must pass the -R switch:

# btrfs subvolume create sub1
Create subvolume ''./sub1''
# btrfs subvolume create sub1/sub2
Create subvolume ''sub1/sub2''

# btrfs subvolume snapshot -R sub1 sub1-snap
Create a snapshot of ''sub1'' in ''./sub1-snap''
Create a snapshot of ''sub1/sub2'' in
''./sub1-snap/sub2''

To recursively delete subvolumes, you must pass the switch
''-R'':

# btrfs subvolume create sub1
Create subvolume ''./sub1''
# btrfs subvolume create sub1/sub2
Create subvolume ''sub1/sub2''

# btrfs subvolume delete -R sub1
Delete subvolume ''/root/sub1/sub2''
Delete subvolume ''/root/sub1''


Some caveats:
1) the recursively behaviour need the root capability
This because how the subvolume are discovered

2) it is not possible to recursively snapshot a subvolume
in read-only mode
This because when a subvolume is snapshotted, its 
nested subvolumes appear as directory in the snapshot.
These directories are removed before snapshotting the 
nested subvolumes. This is incompatible with a read
only subvolume.

[PATCH 1/7] Recursive btrfs sub snapshot/delete: create get_root_info() function

Move some code from cmd_subvol_show() to get_root_info(). This is
a preparation for the introducing of traverse_list_subvol_rec()
function.

Unfortunately an atomic-and-recursive snapshot is not feasible from user
space.
Hoping that this patch will be accepted in mainline.

Nice feature, but can we try to make the snapshot creation atomic? This
would need support from kernel of course.

I''m worried about the outcome from the users'' perspective, the
consistency of the whole subvolume subtree. As you''ve implemented it,
there are several operations involved like traversing the subvolume
list, replacing the empty-subvols with the real ones, taking the
snapshots. The assumptions about existing source subvolumes may change
in the meantime: renamed or deleted.

The recursive deletion is safer form this point, I''ll look at the
patches closer. Deleting the whole directory subtree with randomly
scattered subvolumes is not easy atm, I''m using wrappers around find
and
maxdepth/mindepth to look for subvols and issue delete until it''s done.

Definetely you are right. In fact this is true also for other tools like
tar: they complaint if you remove/move/rename a file during the copy. We
can work to increase the robustness of the process, to avoid strange
behaviour when a subvolume is removed/moved/renamed.

Anyway I am more afraid that we can''t mix recursive and readonly
snapshot.

Implementing the atomic recursive snapshot in the kernel, is out of my
possibility; anyway basically this means that the filesystem is frozen
until all the snapshot are done, which requires a finite time. In case
of a high number of subvolumes this could be a problem.

May be that it could be more simple to snapshot "all the filesystem",
ie
snapshot not from the filesystem-tree but form the root-of-tree; then we
could cherry-pick the subvolume which are involved....

Another possibility is to forzen all subvolumes, then snapshot them,
then unfrozen all the subvolume...

The patches should be independent. Otherwise if you think that changing
the order it would be more simple to merge them (even without the
recursive-non-atomic-snapshot), let me know.

Agreed, this would eg. need to toggle RO/RW status when needed, but this
does not sound very clean.

High number of subvolumes to snapshot atomically will always be
problematic and a lazy userspace-based recursive snapshot might be
actually better regarding the impact on the rest of the system, but
without guaranteed atomicity.

But, I don''t want to kill the whole idea just because there''s
some
scenario that''s possible but hard to handle.

IIRC the RO flags is mandatory for the send/receive; this basically
means that we wouldn''t be able to use a recursive snapshot with
send/receive.
