Tracepoints can provide insight into why btrfs hits bugs and be greatly
helpful for debugging, e.g
              dd-7822  [000]  2121.641088: btrfs_inode_request: root = 5(FS_TREE), gen = 4, ino = 256, blocks = 8, disk_i_size = 0, last_trans = 8, logged_trans = 0
              dd-7822  [000]  2121.641100: btrfs_inode_new: root = 5(FS_TREE), gen = 8, ino = 257, blocks = 0, disk_i_size = 0, last_trans = 0, logged_trans = 0
 btrfs-transacti-7804  [001]  2146.935420: btrfs_cow_block: root = 2(EXTENT_TREE), refs = 2, orig_buf = 29368320 (orig_level = 0), cow_buf = 29388800 (cow_level = 0)
 btrfs-transacti-7804  [001]  2146.935473: btrfs_cow_block: root = 1(ROOT_TREE), refs = 2, orig_buf = 29364224 (orig_level = 0), cow_buf = 29392896 (cow_level = 0)
 btrfs-transacti-7804  [001]  2146.972221: btrfs_transaction_commit: root = 1(ROOT_TREE), gen = 8
   flush-btrfs-2-7821  [001]  2155.824210: btrfs_chunk_alloc: root = 3(CHUNK_TREE), offset = 1103101952, size = 1073741824, num_stripes = 1, sub_stripes = 0, type = DATA
   flush-btrfs-2-7821  [001]  2155.824241: btrfs_cow_block: root = 2(EXTENT_TREE), refs = 2, orig_buf = 29388800 (orig_level = 0), cow_buf = 29396992 (cow_level = 0)
   flush-btrfs-2-7821  [001]  2155.824255: btrfs_cow_block: root = 4(DEV_TREE), refs = 2, orig_buf = 29372416 (orig_level = 0), cow_buf = 29401088 (cow_level = 0)
   flush-btrfs-2-7821  [000]  2155.824329: btrfs_cow_block: root = 3(CHUNK_TREE), refs = 2, orig_buf = 20971520 (orig_level = 0), cow_buf = 20975616 (cow_level = 0)
 btrfs-endio-wri-7800  [001]  2155.898019: btrfs_cow_block: root = 5(FS_TREE), refs = 2, orig_buf = 29384704 (orig_level = 0), cow_buf = 29405184 (cow_level = 0)
 btrfs-endio-wri-7800  [001]  2155.898043: btrfs_cow_block: root = 7(CSUM_TREE), refs = 2, orig_buf = 29376512 (orig_level = 0), cow_buf = 29409280 (cow_level = 0)

Here is what I have added:

1) ordere_extent:
        btrfs_ordered_extent_add
        btrfs_ordered_extent_remove
        btrfs_ordered_extent_start
        btrfs_ordered_extent_put

These provide critical information to understand how ordered_extents are
updated.

2) extent_map:
        btrfs_get_extent

extent_map is used in both read and write cases, and it is useful for tracking
how btrfs specific IO is running.

3) writepage:
        __extent_writepage
        btrfs_writepage_end_io_hook

Pages are cirtical resourses and produce a lot of corner cases during writeback,
so it is valuable to know how page is written to disk.

4) inode:
        btrfs_inode_new
        btrfs_inode_request
        btrfs_inode_evict

These can show where and when a inode is created, when a inode is evicted.

5) sync:
        btrfs_sync_file
        btrfs_sync_fs

These show sync arguments.

6) transaction:
        btrfs_transaction_commit

In transaction based filesystem, it will be useful to know the generation and
who does commit.

7) back reference and cow:
	btrfs_delayed_tree_ref
	btrfs_delayed_data_ref
	btrfs_delayed_ref_head
	btrfs_cow_block

Btrfs natively supports back references, these tracepoints are helpful on
understanding btrfs's COW mechanism.

8) chunk:
	btrfs_chunk_alloc
	btrfs_chunk_free

Chunk is a link between physical offset and logical offset, and stands for space
infomation in btrfs, and these are helpful on tracing space things.

9) reserved_extent:
	btrfs_reserved_extent_alloc
	btrfs_reserved_extent_free

These can show how btrfs uses its space.

This one isn't really an uninit variable, but for pretty
obscure reasons.  Let's make it clearly correct.

Make the code aware of compression type, instead of always assuming
zlib compression.

Also make the zlib workspace function as common code for all
compression types.

<title>Btrfs: deal with DIO bios that span more than one ordered extent</title>

<content type='text'>
The new DIO bio splitting code has problems when the bio
spans more than one ordered extent.  This will happen as the
generic DIO code merges our get_blocks calls together into
a bigger single bio.

This fixes things by walking forward in the ordered extent
code finding all the overlapping ordered extents and completing them
all at once.

These are all the cases where a variable is set, but not read which are
not bugs as far as I can see, but simply leftovers.

Still needs more review.

<title>Btrfs: add basic DIO read/write support</title>

<id>4b46fce23349bfca781a32e2707a18328ca5ae22</id>
<content type='text'>
This provides basic DIO support for reading and writing.  It does not do the
work to recover from mismatching checksums, that will come later.  A few design
changes have been made from Jim's code (sorry Jim!)

1) Use the generic direct-io code.  Jim originally re-wrote all the generic DIO
code in order to account for all of BTRFS's oddities, but thanks to that work it
seems like the best bet is to just ignore compression and such and just opt to
fallback on buffered IO.

2) Fallback on buffered IO for compressed or inline extents.  Jim's code did
it's own buffering to make dio with compressed extents work.  Now we just
fallback onto normal buffered IO.

3) Use ordered extents for the writes so that all of the

lock_extent()
lookup_ordered()

type checks continue to work.

4) Do the lock_extent() lookup_ordered() loop in readpage so we don't race with
DIO writes.

I've tested this with fsx and everything works great.  This patch depends on my
dio and filemap.c patches to work.  Thanks,

Introduce metadata reservation context for delayed allocation
and update various related functions.

This patch also introduces EXTENT_FIRST_DELALLOC control bit for
set/clear_extent_bit. It tells set/clear_bit_hook whether they
are processing the first extent_state with EXTENT_DELALLOC bit
set. This change is important if set/clear_extent_bit involves
multiple extent_state.

As Yan pointed out, theres not much reason for all this complicated math to
account for file extents being split up into max_extent chunks, since they are
likely to all end up in the same leaf anyway.  Since there isn't much reason to
use max_extent, just remove the option altogether so we have one less thing we
need to test.

percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -&gt; slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.
