<id>urn:sha1:4eb150d6122bf51744d07c569ea811e8ce4bdd6d</id>
<content type='text'>
We had an error handling pattern for read_tree_block() like this:

	eb = read_tree_block();
	if (IS_ERR(eb)) {
		/*
		 * Handling error here
		 * Normally ended up with return or goto out.
		 */
	} else if (!extent_buffer_uptodate(eb)) {
		/*
		 * Different error handling here
		 * Normally also ended up with return or goto out;
		 */
	}

This is fine, but if we want to add extra check for each
read_tree_block(), the existing if-else-if is not that expandable and
will take reader some seconds to figure out there is no extra branch.

Here we change it to a more common way, without the extra else:

	eb = read_tree_block();
	if (IS_ERR(eb)) {
		/*
		 * Handling error here
		 */
		return eb or goto out;
	}
	if (!extent_buffer_uptodate(eb)) {
		/*
		 * Different error handling here
		 */
		return eb or goto out;
	}

This also removes some oddball call sites which uses some creative way
to check error.

We don't need a root here, we just need the btrfs_fs_info, we can just
get the specific roots we need from fs_info.

<id>urn:sha1:28c9b1e75aa1794897a9cb709f20f27f4aadebac</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently, we always reserve the same extent size in the file and extent
size on disk for delalloc because the former is the worst case for the
latter. For BTRFS_IOC_ENCODED_WRITE writes, we know the exact size of
the extent on disk, which may be less than or greater than (for
bookends) the size in the file. Add a disk_num_bytes parameter to
btrfs_delalloc_reserve_metadata() so that we can reserve the correct
amount of csum bytes. No functional change.

We hit a bug with a recovering relocation on mount for one of our file
systems in production.  I reproduced this locally by injecting errors
into snapshot delete with balance running at the same time.  This
presented as an error while looking up an extent item

Normally snapshot deletion and relocation are excluded from running at
the same time by the fs_info-&gt;cleaner_mutex.  However if we had a
pending balance waiting to get the -&gt;cleaner_mutex, and a snapshot
deletion was running, and then the box crashed, we would come up in a
state where we have a half deleted snapshot.

Again, in the normal case the snapshot deletion needs to complete before
relocation can start, but in this case relocation could very well start
before the snapshot deletion completes, as we simply add the root to the
dead roots list and wait for the next time the cleaner runs to clean up
the snapshot.

Fix this by setting a bit on the fs_info if we have any DEAD_ROOT's that
had a pending drop_progress key.  If they do then we know we were in the
middle of the drop operation and set a flag on the fs_info.  Then
balance can wait until this flag is cleared to start up again.

If there are DEAD_ROOT's that don't have a drop_progress set then we're
safe to start balance right away as we'll be properly protected by the
cleaner_mutex.

We have a few helpers in inode-item.c, and I'm going to make a few
changes to how we do truncate in the future, so break out these
definitions into their own header file to trim down ctree.h some and
make it easier to do the work on truncate in the future.

<title>btrfs: make send work with concurrent block group relocation</title>

<id>urn:sha1:d96b34248c2f4ea8cd09286090f2f6f77102eaab</id>
<content type='text'>
We don't allow send and balance/relocation to run in parallel in order
to prevent send failing or silently producing some bad stream. This is
because while send is using an extent (specially metadata) or about to
read a metadata extent and expecting it belongs to a specific parent
node, relocation can run, the transaction used for the relocation is
committed and the extent gets reallocated while send is still using the
extent, so it ends up with a different content than expected. This can
result in just failing to read a metadata extent due to failure of the
validation checks (parent transid, level, etc), failure to find a
backreference for a data extent, and other unexpected failures. Besides
reallocation, there's also a similar problem of an extent getting
discarded when it's unpinned after the transaction used for block group
relocation is committed.

The restriction between balance and send was added in commit 9e967495e0e0
("Btrfs: prevent send failures and crashes due to concurrent relocation"),
kernel 5.3, while the more general restriction between send and relocation
was added in commit 1cea5cf0e664 ("btrfs: ensure relocation never runs
while we have send operations running"), kernel 5.14.

Both send and relocation can be very long running operations. Relocation
because it has to do a lot of IO and expensive backreference lookups in
case there are many snapshots, and send due to read IO when operating on
very large trees. This makes it inconvenient for users and tools to deal
with scheduling both operations.

For zoned filesystem we also have automatic block group relocation, so
send can fail with -EAGAIN when users least expect it or send can end up
delaying the block group relocation for too long. In the future we might
also get the automatic block group relocation for non zoned filesystems.

This change makes it possible for send and relocation to run in parallel.
This is achieved the following way:

1) For all tree searches, send acquires a read lock on the commit root
   semaphore;

2) After each tree search, and before releasing the commit root semaphore,
   the leaf is cloned and placed in the search path (struct btrfs_path);

3) After releasing the commit root semaphore, the changed_cb() callback
   is invoked, which operates on the leaf and writes commands to the pipe
   (or file in case send/receive is not used with a pipe). It's important
   here to not hold a lock on the commit root semaphore, because if we did
   we could deadlock when sending and receiving to the same filesystem
   using a pipe - the send task blocks on the pipe because it's full, the
   receive task, which is the only consumer of the pipe, triggers a
   transaction commit when attempting to create a subvolume or reserve
   space for a write operation for example, but the transaction commit
   blocks trying to write lock the commit root semaphore, resulting in a
   deadlock;

4) Before moving to the next key, or advancing to the next change in case
   of an incremental send, check if a transaction used for relocation was
   committed (or is about to finish its commit). If so, release the search
   path(s) and restart the search, to where we were before, so that we
   don't operate on stale extent buffers. The search restarts are always
   possible because both the send and parent roots are RO, and no one can
   add, remove of update keys (change their offset) in RO trees - the
   only exception is deduplication, but that is still not allowed to run
   in parallel with send;

5) Periodically check if there is contention on the commit root semaphore,
   which means there is a transaction commit trying to write lock it, and
   release the semaphore and reschedule if there is contention, so as to
   avoid causing any significant delays to transaction commits.

This leaves some room for optimizations for send to have less path
releases and re searching the trees when there's relocation running, but
for now it's kept simple as it performs quite well (on very large trees
with resulting send streams in the order of a few hundred gigabytes).

Test case btrfs/187, from fstests, stresses relocation, send and
deduplication attempting to run in parallel, but without verifying if send
succeeds and if it produces correct streams. A new test case will be added
that exercises relocation happening in parallel with send and then checks
that send succeeds and the resulting streams are correct.

A final note is that for now this still leaves the mutual exclusion
between send operations and deduplication on files belonging to a root
used by send operations. A solution for that will be slightly more complex
but it will eventually be built on top of this change.

users of -&gt;csum_root to btrfs_csum_root() and rename -&gt;csum_root to
-&gt;_csum_root so we can easily find remaining users in the future.

When we start having multiple extent roots we'll need to use a helper to
get to the correct extent_root.  Rename fs_info-&gt;extent_root to
_extent_root and convert all of the users of the extent root to using
the btrfs_extent_root() helper.  This will allow us to easily clean up
the remaining direct accesses in the future.

fs_info.  Change btrfs_reserve_metadata_bytes() to use the fs_info, and
change both btrfs_block_rsv_refill() and btrfs_block_rsv_add() to do the
same as they simply call btrfs_reserve_metadata_bytes() and then
manipulate the block_rsv that is being used.
