btrfs: move large data folios out of experimental features

2026-06-08T13:53:31+00:00

This feature was introduced in v6.17 under experimental, and we had several small bugs related to or exposed by that: e9e3b22ddfa7 ("btrfs: fix beyond-EOF write handling") 18de34daa7c6 ("btrfs: truncate ordered extent when skipping writeback past i_size") Otherwise, the feature has been frequently tested by btrfs developers. The latest fix only arrived in v6.19. After three releases, I think it's time to move this feature out of experimental. And since we're here, also remove the comment about the bitmap size limit, which is no longer relevant in the context. It will soon be outdated for the incoming huge folio support.

btrfs: remove folio checked subpage bitmap tracking

2026-06-08T13:53:28+00:00

The folio checked flag is only utilized by the COW fixup mechanism inside btrfs. Since the COW fixup is already removed from non-experimental builds, there is no need to keep the checked subpage bitmap. This will saves us some space for large folios, for example for a single 256K sized large folio on 4K page sized systems: Old bitmap size = 6 * (256K / 4K / 8) = 48 bytes New bitmap size = 5 * (256K / 4K / 8) = 40 bytes This will be more obvious when we're going to support huge folios (order = 9).

treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types

2026-02-21T09:02:28+00:00

This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook

btrfs: use the btrfs_extent_map_end() helper everywhere

2026-02-03T06:54:36+00:00

We have a helper to calculate an extent map's exclusive end offset, but we only use it in some places. Update every site that open codes the calculation to use the helper.

btrfs: introduce BTRFS_PATH_AUTO_RELEASE() helper

2026-02-03T05:38:32+00:00

There are already several bugs with on-stack btrfs_path involved, even it is already a little safer than btrfs_path pointers (only leaks the extent buffers, not the btrfs_path structure itself) - Patch "btrfs: make sure extent and csum paths are always released in scrub_raid56_parity_stripe()" - Patch "btrfs: fix a potential path leak in print_data_reloc_error()" Thus there is a real need to apply auto release for those on-stack paths. Introduces a new macro, BTRFS_PATH_AUTO_RELEASE() which defines one on-stack btrfs_path structure, initialize it all to 0, then call btrfs_release_path() on it when exiting the scope. This applies to current 3 on-stack path usages: - defrag_get_extent() in defrag.c - print_data_reloc_error() in inode.c There is a special case where we want to release the path early before the time consuming iterate_extent_inodes() call, thus that manual early release is kept as is, with an extra comment added. - scrub_radi56_parity_stripe() in scrub.c Signed-off-by: Qu Wenruo Reviewed-by: David Sterba Signed-off-by: David Sterba

btrfs: use bool type for btrfs_path members used as booleans

2025-11-24T21:42:25+00:00

Many fields of struct btrfs_path are used as booleans but their type is an unsigned int (of one 1 bit width to save space). Change the type to bool keeping the :1 suffix so that they combine with the previous u8 fields in order to save space. This makes the code more clear by using explicit true/false and more in line with the preferred style, preserving the size of the structure.

btrfs: headers cleanup to remove unnecessary local includes

2025-11-24T21:34:52+00:00

[BUG] When I tried to remove btrfs_bio::fs_info and use btrfs_bio::inode to grab the fs_info, the header "btrfs_inode.h" is needed to access the full btrfs_inode structure. Then btrfs will fail to compile. [CAUSE] There is a recursive including chain: "bio.h" -> "btrfs_inode.h" -> "extent_map.h" -> "compression.h" -> "bio.h" That recursive including is causing problems for btrfs. [ENHANCEMENT] To reduce the risk of recursive including: - Remove unnecessary local includes from btrfs headers Either the included header is pulled in by other headers, or is completely unnecessary. - Remove btrfs local includes if the header only requires a pointer In that case let the implementing C file to pull the required header. This is especially important for headers like "btrfs_inode.h" which pulls in a lot of other btrfs headers, thus it's a mine field of recursive including. - Remove unnecessary temporary structure definition Either if we have included the header defining the structure, or completely unused. Now including "btrfs_inode.h" inside "bio.h" is completely fine, although "btrfs_inode.h" still includes "extent_map.h", but that header only includes "fs.h", no more chain back to "bio.h".
