Btrfs: don't do unnecessary delalloc flushes when relocating
Before we start the actual relocation process of a block group, we do
calls to flush delalloc of all inodes and then wait for ordered extents
to complete. However we do these flush calls just to make sure we don't
race with concurrent tasks that have actually already started to run
delalloc and have allocated an extent from the block group we want to
relocate, right before we set it to readonly mode, but have not yet
created the respective ordered extents. The flush calls make us wait
for such concurrent tasks because they end up calling
filemap_fdatawrite_range() (through btrfs_start_delalloc_roots() ->
__start_delalloc_inodes() -> btrfs_alloc_delalloc_work() ->
btrfs_run_delalloc_work()) which ends up serializing us with those tasks
due to attempts to lock the same pages (and the delalloc flush procedure
calls the allocator and creates the ordered extents before unlocking the
pages).
These flushing calls not only make us waste time (cpu, IO) but also reduce
the chances of writing larger extents (applications might be writing to
contiguous ranges and we flush before they finish dirtying the whole
ranges).
So make sure we don't flush delalloc and just wait for concurrent tasks
that have already started flushing delalloc and have allocated an extent
from the block group we are about to relocate.
This change also ends up fixing a race with direct IO writes that makes
relocation not wait for direct IO ordered extents. This race is
illustrated by the following diagram:
CPU 1 CPU 2
btrfs_relocate_block_group(bg X)
starts direct IO write,
target inode currently has no
ordered extents ongoing nor
dirty pages (delalloc regions),
therefore the root for our inode
is not in the list
fs_info->ordered_roots
btrfs_direct_IO()
__blockdev_direct_IO()
btrfs_get_blocks_direct()
btrfs_lock_extent_direct()
locks range in the io tree
btrfs_new_extent_direct()
btrfs_reserve_extent()
--> extent allocated
from bg X
btrfs_inc_block_group_ro(bg X)
btrfs_start_delalloc_roots()
__start_delalloc_inodes()
--> does nothing, no dealloc ranges
in the inode's io tree so the
inode's root is not in the list
fs_info->delalloc_roots
btrfs_wait_ordered_roots()
--> does not find the inode's root in the
list fs_info->ordered_roots
--> ends up not waiting for the direct IO
write started by the task at CPU 2
relocate_block_group(rc->stage ==
MOVE_DATA_EXTENTS)
prepare_to_relocate()
btrfs_commit_transaction()
iterates the extent tree, using its
commit root and moves extents into new
locations
btrfs_add_ordered_extent_dio()
--> now a ordered extent is
created and added to the
list root->ordered_extents
and the root added to the
list fs_info->ordered_roots
--> this is too late and the
task at CPU 1 already
started the relocation
btrfs_commit_transaction()
btrfs_finish_ordered_io()
btrfs_alloc_reserved_file_extent()
--> adds delayed data reference
for the extent allocated
from bg X
relocate_block_group(rc->stage ==
UPDATE_DATA_PTRS)
prepare_to_relocate()
btrfs_commit_transaction()
--> delayed refs are run, so an extent
item for the allocated extent from
bg X is added to extent tree
--> commit roots are switched, so the
next scan in the extent tree will
see the extent item
sees the extent in the extent tree
When this happens the relocation produces the following warning when it
finishes:

This is because at the end of the first stage, in relocate_block_group(),
we commit the current transaction, which makes delayed refs run, the
commit roots are switched and so the second stage will find the extent
item that the ordered extent added to the delayed refs. But this extent
was not moved (ordered extent completed after first stage finished), so
at the end of the relocation our block group item still has a positive
used bytes counter, triggering a warning at the end of
btrfs_relocate_block_group(). Later on when trying to read the extent
contents from disk we hit a BUG_ON() due to the inability to map a block
with a logical address that belongs to the block group we relocated and
is no longer valid, resulting in the following trace:
