similar to: [PATCH V2] Btrfs: add direct I/O helper to process inline compressed extents.

From: Wade Cline <clinew@linux.vnet.ibm.com> This patch is only an RFC. My internship is ending and I was hoping to get some feedback and incorporate any suggestions people may have before my internship ends along with life as we know it (this Friday). The filesystem should mount/umount properly but tends towards the explosive side when writes start happening. My current focus is on

So both Liu and I made huge messes of find_lock_delalloc_range trying to fix stuff, me first by fixing extent size, then him by fixing something I broke and then me again telling him to fix it a different way. So this is obviously a candidate for some testing. This patch adds a pseudo fs so we can allocate fake inodes for tests that need an inode or pages. Then it addes a bunch of tests to make

restructure try_release_extent_buffer() and write a function to release the extent buffer. It will be used later.

A user has encountered a NULL pointer kernel oops in btrfs when encountering media errors. The problem has been identified as an unhandled NULL pointer returned from find_get_page(). This modification simply checks for a NULL page, and returns with an error if found (the extent_range_uptodate() function returns 1 on errors). After testing this patch, the user reported that the error with the

Liu fixed part of this problem and unfortunately I steered him in slightly the wrong direction and so didn''t completely fix the problem. The problem is we limit the size of the delalloc range we are looking for to max bytes and then we try to lock that range. If we fail to lock the pages in that range we will shrink the max bytes to a single page and re loop. However if our first page

This series introduces a generic readahead interface for btrfs trees. The intention is to use it to speed up scrub in a first run, but balance is another hot candidate. In general, every tree walk could be accompanied by a readahead. Deletion of large files comes to mind, where the fetching of the csums takes most of the time. Also the initial build-ups of free-space-caches and

I noticed a huge problem with the free space cache that was presenting as an early ENOSPC. Turns out when writing the free space cache out I forgot to take into account pinned extents and more importantly clusters. This would result in us leaking free space everytime we unmounted the filesystem and remounted it. I fix this by making sure to check and see if the current block group has a cluster

Hi all - Here''s my current error handling patchset, against 3.1-rc8. Almost all of this patchset is preparing for actual error handling. Before we start in on that work, I''m trying to reduce the surface we need to worry about. It turns out that there is a ton of code that returns an error code but never actually reports an error. The patchset has grown to 65 patches. 46 of them

The type of some functions that return only 0 is changed to ''void''. In addition, the check on the return value in the caller of these functions becomes unnecessary. So, these check is removed.

This adds a leak decoder callback so that slab destruction can use to generate debugging output for the allocated objects. Callers like btrfs are using their own leak tracking which will manage allocated objects in a list(or something else), this does indeed the same thing as what slab does. So adding a callback for leak tracking can avoid this as well as runtime overhead. (The idea is from

Hi, The following series of patches implements in btrfs an ioctl to do out-of-band deduplication of file extents. To be clear, this means that the file system is mounted and running, but the dedupe is not done during file writes, but after the fact when some userspace software initiates a dedupe. The primary patch is loosely based off of one sent by Josef Bacik back in January, 2011.

While testing with my buffer read fio jobs[1], I find that btrfs does not perform well enough. Here is a scenario in fio jobs: We have 4 threads, "t1 t2 t3 t4", starting to buffer read a same file, and all of them will race on add_to_page_cache_lru(), and if one thread successfully puts its page into the page cache, it takes the responsibility to read the page''s data. And

Hi all - The following 9 patches add more error handling to the btrfs code: - Add btrfs_panic - Catch locking failures in {set,clear}_extent_bit - Push up set_extent_bit errors to callers - Push up lock_extent errors to callers - Push up clear_extent_bit errors to callers - Push up unlock_extent errors to callers - Make pin_down_extent return void - Push up btrfs_pin_extent errors to

Hi gang, Here''s some trivial cleanups that I''ve built up while reading through the code. They''ve been run through xfstests -g quick. - z -- 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

V1->V2: Check to see if our current ppos is >= i_size after a short DIO read, just in case it was actually a short read and we need to just return. This is similar to what already happens in the write case. If we have a short read while doing O_DIRECT, instead of just returning, fallthrough and try to read the rest via buffered IO. BTRFS needs this because if we encounter a compressed or

Now we set @refs to 2 on creating a new extent buffer, meanwhile we allocate the needed free space, but we don''t give enough free_extent_buffer() to reduce the eb''s references to zero so that the eb can finally be freed, so the problem is we has decrease the referene count of backrefs to zero, which ends up releasing the space occupied by the eb, and this space can be allocated
