similar to: [PATCH] Btrfs: truncate pages from clone ioctl target range

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.

It''s safe and easy to do so, provided the ranges don''t overlap.

When btrfs_start_transaction() fails, we should call btrfs_std_error() properly for filesystem to readonly.

We''re going to use this flag EXTENT_DEFRAG to indicate which range belongs to defragment so that we can implement snapshow-aware defrag: We set the EXTENT_DEFRAG flag when dirtying the extents that need defragmented, so later on writeback thread can differentiate between normal writeback and writeback started by defragmentation. This patch is used for the latter one. Originally patch

I''ve been working to try to improve the write-ahead log''s performance, and I found that the bottleneck addresses in the checksum items, especially when we want to make a random write on a large file, e.g a 4G file. Then a idea for this suggested by Chris is to use sub transaction ids and just to log the part of inode that had changed since either the last log commit or the last

It''s been nearly a year since the patches needed to implement a reflinked copy between subvolumes have been posted (http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/9865 ) and I still get "Invalid cross-device link" error with Linux 3.2.4 while I try to do a cp --reflink between subvolumes. This is a *very* useful feature to have (think offline file-level

Returns a file''s size on disk. Had been posted by Chris Ball over a year ago (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/2873). Chris Mason suggested a couple of improvements back then, which I have implemented in this version: - use u64 to return the result - replaced the loop while (1) { struct btrfs_ordered_extent *ordered;

The original truncation of btrfs has a bug, that is the orphan item will not be dropped when the truncation fails. This bug will trigger BUG() when unlink that truncated file. And besides that, if the user does pre-allocation for the file which is truncated unsuccessfully, after re-mount(umount-mount, not -o remount), the pre-allocated extent will be dropped. This patch modified the relative

After running ceph on XFS for some time, I decided to try btrfs again. Performance with the current "for-linux-min" branch and big metadata is much better. The only problem (?) I''m still seeing is a warning that seems to occur from time to time: [87703.784552] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [87703.789759] WARNING: at fs/btrfs/inode.c:2103

Hello, This is the second attempt to bring in cross subvolume reflinks into btrfs. The first attempt was NAKed due to missing vfs mount checks and a clear description of what btrfs subvolumes are and probably also why cross subvolume reflinks are ok in the case of btrfs. This version of the patch comes from David and is in SUSE kernels since a long time, so it is tested and working. The patch

Hi all, Just a quick question but can''t find an obvious answer. Can I create/convert a existing (btrfs) directory into a subvolume? It would be very helpful when transferring ''partitions'' into btrfs. I found a similar question way back in google, but that site is down now generally. Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line

Btrfs has always had these filler extent data items for holes in inodes. This has made somethings very easy, like logging hole punches and sending hole punches. However for large holey files these extent data items are pure overhead. So add an incompatible feature to no longer add hole extents to reduce the amount of metadata used by these sort of files. This has a few changes for logging and

Since the d_off in the first dirent for "." (that originates from the 4th argument "offset" of filldir() for the 2nd dirent for "..") is wrongly assigned in btrfs_real_readdir(), telldir returns same offset for different locations. | # mkfs.btrfs /dev/sdb1 | # mount /dev/sdb1 fs0 | # cd fs0 | # touch file0 file1 | # ../test | telldir: 0 | readdir: d_off = 2,

I am testing a Btrfs root file system with Debian (kernel 2.6.32) under KVM. jason@vrtl:~$ touch testfile jason@vrtl:~$ cp --reflink testfile /tmp cp: failed to clone `/tmp/testfile'': Invalid argument This is with GNU Coreutils 8.0 taken from debian Sid. Is this a Coreutils issue, a Btrfs problem or something in my local configuration? All the other issues that I have encountered so

Hello, I''m seeing a lot of warnings in dmesg with a BTRFS filesystem. I''m using the 3.1 kernel, I found a patch for these warnings ( http://marc.info/?l=linux-btrfs&m=131547325515336&w=2) <http://marc.info/?l=linux-btrfs&m=131547325515336&w=2>, but that patch has already been included in 3.1. Are there any other patches I can try? I''m using

The CLONE and CLONE_RANGE ioctls round up the range of extents being cloned to the block size when the range to clone extends to the end of file (this is always the case with CLONE). It was then using that offset when extending the destination file''s i_size. Fix this by not setting i_size beyond the originally requested ending offset. This bug was introduced by a22285a6 (2.6.35-rc1).

Just a quick update, I''ve dropped the hashing stuff in favor of doing a memcmp in the kernel to make sure the data is still the same. The thing that takes a while is reading the data up from disk, so doing a memcmp of the entire buffer isn''t that big of a deal, not to mention there''s a possiblity for malicious users if there is a problem with the hashing algorithms we

Rewrite btrfs_drop_extents by using btrfs_duplicate_item, so we can avoid calling lock_extent within transaction.

This patch introduce extent buffer cache for every i-node. By this way, we can save the search time and reduce the lock contention of the root because we needn''t search the item from the root of b+ tree. Implementation: - add two pointers of extent buffer into btrfs_inode struct, one for nodes/leaves of fs/file tree, the other for nodes/leaves of the log tree. - add a variant to tell

I need everybody to go over this with a fine toothed comb since it is a pretty big change. I think it is right and it seems to come out right, but if it''s not it will mean we screw up O_DIRECT on snapshotted files with preallocated extents, so please, make sure it is correct :). --- Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: rework can_nocow_odirect We are always doing the file extent lookup in here
