The function map_private_extent_buffer() can return an -EINVAL error, and
it is called by generic_bin_search() which will return back the error. The
btrfs_bin_search() function in turn calls generic_bin_search() and the
key_search() function calls btrfs_bin_search(), so both can return the
-EINVAL error coming from the map_private_extent_buffer() function. Some
callers of these functions were ignoring that these functions can return
an error, so fix them to deal with error return values.

btrfs_set_lock_blocking is now only a simple wrapper around
btrfs_set_lock_blocking_write. The name does not bring any semantic
value that could not be inferred from the new function so there's no
point keeping it.

<title>btrfs: qgroup: Use delayed subtree rescan for balance</title>

<content type='text'>
Before this patch, qgroup code traces the whole subtree of subvolume and
reloc trees unconditionally.

This makes qgroup numbers consistent, but it could cause tons of
unnecessary extent tracing, which causes a lot of overhead.

However for subtree swap of balance, just swap both subtrees because
they contain the same contents and tree structure, so qgroup numbers
won't change.

It's the race window between subtree swap and transaction commit could
cause qgroup number change.

This patch will delay the qgroup subtree scan until COW happens for the
subtree root.

So if there is no other operations for the fs, balance won't cause extra
qgroup overhead. (best case scenario)
Depending on the workload, most of the subtree scan can still be
avoided.

Only for worst case scenario, it will fall back to old subtree swap
overhead. (scan all swapped subtrees)

[[Benchmark]]
Hardware:
	VM 4G vRAM, 8 vCPUs,
	disk is using 'unsafe' cache mode,
	backing device is SAMSUNG 850 evo SSD.
	Host has 16G ram.

Mkfs parameter:
	--nodesize 4K (To bump up tree size)

Initial subvolume contents:
	4G data copied from /usr and /lib.
	(With enough regular small files)

Snapshots:
	16 snapshots of the original subvolume.
	each snapshot has 3 random files modified.

balance parameter:
	-m

So the content should be pretty similar to a real world root fs layout.

And after file system population, there is no other activity, so it
should be the best case scenario.

<title>btrfs: qgroup: Introduce per-root swapped blocks infrastructure</title>

<id>370a11b8114bcca3738fe6a5d7ed8babcc212f39</id>
<content type='text'>
To allow delayed subtree swap rescan, btrfs needs to record per-root
information about which tree blocks get swapped.  This patch introduces
the required infrastructure.

The designed workflow will be:

1) Record the subtree root block that gets swapped.

   During subtree swap:
   O = Old tree blocks
   N = New tree blocks
         reloc tree                         subvolume tree X
            Root                               Root
           /    \                             /    \
         NA     OB                          OA      OB
       /  |     |  \                      /  |      |  \
     NC  ND     OE  OF                   OC  OD     OE  OF

  In this case, NA and OA are going to be swapped, record (NA, OA) into
  subvolume tree X.

2) After subtree swap.
         reloc tree                         subvolume tree X
            Root                               Root
           /    \                             /    \
         OA     OB                          NA      OB
       /  |     |  \                      /  |      |  \
     OC  OD     OE  OF                   NC  ND     OE  OF

3a) COW happens for OB
    If we are going to COW tree block OB, we check OB's bytenr against
    tree X's swapped_blocks structure.
    If it doesn't fit any, nothing will happen.

3b) COW happens for NA
    Check NA's bytenr against tree X's swapped_blocks, and get a hit.
    Then we do subtree scan on both subtrees OA and NA.
    Resulting 6 tree blocks to be scanned (OA, OC, OD, NA, NC, ND).

    Then no matter what we do to subvolume tree X, qgroup numbers will
    still be correct.
    Then NA's record gets removed from X's swapped_blocks.

4)  Transaction commit
    Any record in X's swapped_blocks gets removed, since there is no
    modification to swapped subtrees, no need to trigger heavy qgroup
    subtree rescan for them.

This will introduce 128 bytes overhead for each btrfs_root even qgroup
is not enabled. This is to reduce memory allocations and potential
failures.

         NA     OB                          OA      OB
       /  |     |  \                      /  |      |  \

           /    \                             /    \
         OA     OB                          NA      OB
       /  |     |  \                      /  |      |  \
     OC  OD     OE  OF                   NC  ND     OE  OF

Relocation code will drop btrfs_root::reloc_root as soon as
merge_reloc_root() finishes.

However later qgroup code will need to access btrfs_root::reloc_root
after merge_reloc_root() for delayed subtree rescan.

So alter the timming of resetting btrfs_root:::reloc_root, make it
happens after transaction commit.

With this patch, we will introduce a new btrfs_root::state,
BTRFS_ROOT_DEAD_RELOC_TREE, to info part of btrfs_root::reloc_tree user
that although btrfs_root::reloc_tree is still non-NULL, but still it's
not used any more.

The lifespan of btrfs_root::reloc tree will become:

During ROOT_DEAD_RELOC_TREE set lifespan, the only user of
btrfs_root::reloc_tree should be qgroup.

Since reloc root needs a longer life-span, this patch will also delay
btrfs_drop_snapshot() call.
Now btrfs_drop_snapshot() is called in clean_dirty_subvols().

This patch will increase the size of btrfs_root by 16 bytes.

Drop LIST_HEAD where the variable it declares is never used.

The uses were removed in 3fd0a5585eb9 ("Btrfs: Metadata ENOSPC
handling for balance"), but not the declaration.

The semantic patch that fixes this problem is as follows:
(http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// &lt;smpl&gt;
@@
identifier x;
@@
- LIST_HEAD(x);
  ... when != x
// &lt;/smpl&gt;

a large patch.

Factor out helper that describes block group flags from
describe_relocation. The result will not be longer than the given size.

<title>Btrfs: prevent ioctls from interfering with a swap file</title>

<id>eede2bf34f4fa84ce82e36878ccdd0fdc4b1463c</id>
<content type='text'>
A later patch will implement swap file support for Btrfs, but before we
do that, we need to make sure that the various Btrfs ioctls cannot
change a swap file.

When a swap file is active, we must make sure that the extents of the
file are not moved and that they don't become shared. That means that
the following are not safe:

- chattr +c (enable compression)
- reflink
- dedupe
- snapshot
- defrag

Don't allow those to happen on an active swap file.

Additionally, balance, resize, device remove, and device replace are
also unsafe if they affect an active swapfile. Add a red-black tree of
block groups and devices which contain an active swapfile. Relocation
checks each block group against this tree and skips it or errors out for
balance or resize, respectively. Device remove and device replace check
the tree for the device they will operate on.

Note that we don't have to worry about chattr -C (disable nocow), which
we ignore for non-empty files, because an active swapfile must be
non-empty and can't be truncated. We also don't have to worry about
autodefrag because it's only done on COW files. Truncate and fallocate
are already taken care of by the generic code. Device add doesn't do
relocation so it's not an issue, either.

<title>btrfs: relocation: set trans to be NULL after ending transaction</title>

<id>42a657f57628402c73237547f0134e083e2f6764</id>
<content type='text'>
The function relocate_block_group calls btrfs_end_transaction to release
trans when update_backref_cache returns 1, and then continues the loop
body. If btrfs_block_rsv_refill fails this time, it will jump out the
loop and the freed trans will be accessed. This may result in a
use-after-free bug. The patch assigns NULL to trans after trans is
released so that it will not be accessed.
