2020-03-23btrfs: Implement DREW lockNikolay Borisov1-0/+20
A (D)ouble (R)eader (W)riter (E)xclustion lock is a locking primitive that allows to have multiple readers or multiple writers but not multiple readers and writers holding it concurrently. The code is factored out from the existing open-coded locking scheme used to exclude pending snapshots from nocow writers and vice-versa. Current implementation actually favors Readers (that is snapshot creaters) to writers (nocow writers of the filesystem). The API provides lock/unlock/trylock for reads and writes. Formal specification for TLA+ provided by Valentin Schneider is at https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/2dcaf81c-f0d3-409e-cb29-733d8b3b4cc9@arm.com/ Signed-off-by: Nikolay Borisov <nborisov@suse.com> Reviewed-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>

2019-11-18btrfs: make btrfs_assert_tree_locked static inlineDavid Sterba1-1/+9
The function btrfs_assert_tree_locked is used outside of the locking code so it is exported, however we can make it static inine as it's fairly trivial. This is the only locking assertion used in release builds, inlining improves the text size by 174 bytes and reduces stack consumption in the callers.

The last caller that does not have a fixed value of lock is btrfs_set_path_blocking, that actually does the same conditional swtich by the lock type so we can merge the branches together and remove the helper.

There are many callers that hardcode the desired lock type so we can avoid the switch and call them directly. Split the current function to two. There are no remaining users of btrfs_clear_lock_blocking_rw so it's removed. The call sites will be converted in followup patches.

2014-11-19btrfs: fix lockups from btrfs_clear_path_blockingChris Mason1-0/+2
The fair reader/writer locks mean that btrfs_clear_path_blocking needs to strictly follow lock ordering rules even when we already have blocking locks on a given path. Before we can clear a blocking lock on the path, we need to make sure all of the locks have been converted to blocking. This will remove lock inversions against anyone spinning in write_lock() against the buffers we're trying to get read locks on. These inversions didn't exist before the fair read/writer locks, but now we need to be more careful. We papered over this deadlock in the past by changing btrfs_try_read_lock() to be a true trylock against both the spinlock and the blocking lock. This was slower, and not sufficient to fix all the deadlocks. This patch adds a btrfs_tree_read_lock_atomic(), which basically means get the spinlock but trylock on the blocking lock.

2011-07-27Btrfs: switch the btrfs tree locks to reader/writerChris Mason1-2/+34
The btrfs metadata btree is the source of significant lock contention, especially in the root node. This commit changes our locking to use a reader/writer lock. The lock is built on top of rw spinlocks, and it extends the lock tracking to remember if we have a read lock or a write lock when we go to blocking. Atomics count the number of blocking readers or writers at any given time. It removes all of the adaptive spinning from the old code and uses only the spinning/blocking hints inside of btrfs to decide when it should continue spinning. In read heavy workloads this is dramatically faster. In write heavy workloads we're still faster because of less contention on the root node lock. We suffer slightly in dbench because we schedule more often during write locks, but all other benchmarks so far are improved. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>

2009-03-09Btrfs: fix spinlock assertions on UP systemsChris Mason1-1/+1
btrfs_tree_locked was being used to make sure a given extent_buffer was properly locked in a few places. But, it wasn't correct for UP compiled kernels. This switches it to using assert_spin_locked instead, and renames it to btrfs_assert_tree_locked to better reflect how it was really being used. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
2009-02-09Btrfs: don't use spin_is_contendedChris Mason1-2/+0
Btrfs was using spin_is_contended to see if it should drop locks before doing extent allocations during btrfs_search_slot. The idea was to avoid expensive searches in the tree unless the lock was actually contended. But, spin_is_contended is specific to the ticket spinlocks on x86, so this is causing compile errors everywhere else. In practice, the contention could easily appear some time after we started doing the extent allocation, and it makes more sense to always drop the lock instead.

2009-02-04Btrfs: Change btree locking to use explicit blocking pointsChris Mason1-0/+6
Most of the btrfs metadata operations can be protected by a spinlock, but some operations still need to schedule. So far, btrfs has been using a mutex along with a trylock loop, most of the time it is able to avoid going for the full mutex, so the trylock loop is a big performance gain. This commit is step one for getting rid of the blocking locks entirely. btrfs_tree_lock takes a spinlock, and the code explicitly switches to a blocking lock when it starts an operation that can schedule. We'll be able get rid of the blocking locks in smaller pieces over time. Tracing allows us to find the most common cause of blocking, so we can start with the hot spots first. The basic idea is: btrfs_tree_lock() returns with the spin lock held btrfs_set_lock_blocking() sets the EXTENT_BUFFER_BLOCKING bit in the extent buffer flags, and then drops the spin lock. The buffer is still considered locked by all of the btrfs code. If btrfs_tree_lock gets the spinlock but finds the blocking bit set, it drops the spin lock and waits on a wait queue for the blocking bit to go away. Much of the code that needs to set the blocking bit finishes without actually blocking a good percentage of the time. So, an adaptive spin is still used against the blocking bit to avoid very high context switch rates. btrfs_clear_lock_blocking() clears the blocking bit and returns with the spinlock held again. btrfs_tree_unlock() can be called on either blocking or spinning locks, it does the right thing based on the blocking bit. ctree.c has a helper function to set/clear all the locked buffers in a path as blocking.

2008-09-25btrfs_search_slot: reduce lock contention by cowing in two stagesChris Mason1-0/+1
A btree block cow has two parts, the first is to allocate a destination block and the second is to copy the old bock over. The first part needs locks in the extent allocation tree, and may need to do IO. This changeset splits that into a separate function that can be called without any tree locks held. btrfs_search_slot is changed to drop its path and start over if it has to COW a contended block. This often means that many writers will pre-alloc a new destination for a the same contended block, but they cache their prealloc for later use on lower levels in the tree.

2008-09-25Btrfs: Start btree concurrency work.Chris Mason1-0/+26
The allocation trees and the chunk trees are serialized via their own dedicated mutexes. This means allocation location is still not very fine grained. The main FS btree is protected by locks on each block in the btree. Locks are taken top / down, and as processing finishes on a given level of the tree, the lock is released after locking the lower level. The end result of a search is now a path where only the lowest level is locked. Releasing or freeing the path drops any locks held. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
