Pull btrfs fixes from David Sterba:
 "Two patches fixing the problem with aync discard.

  The default settings had a low IOPS limit and processing a large batch
  to discard would take a long time. On laptops this can cause increased
  power consumption due to disk activity.

  As async discard has been on by default since 6.2 this likely affects
  a lot of users.

  Summary:

   - increase the default IOPS limit 10x which reportedly helped

   - setting the sysfs IOPS value to 0 now does not throttle anymore
     allowing the discards to be processed at full speed. Previously
     there was an arbitrary 6 hour target for processing the pending
     batch"

Currently, a limit of 0 results in a hard coded metering over 6 hours.
Since the default is a set limit, I suspect no one truly depends on this
rather arbitrary setting. Repurpose it for an arguably more useful
"unlimited" mode, where the delay is 0.

Note that if block groups are too new, or go fully empty, there is still
a delay associated with those conditions. Those delays implement
heuristics for not trimming a region we are relatively likely to fully
overwrite soon.

Previously, the default was a relatively conservative 10. This results
in a 100ms delay, so with ~300 discards in a commit, it takes the full
30s till the next commit to finish the discards. On a workstation, this
results in the disk never going idle, wasting power/battery, etc.

Set the default to 1000, which results in using the smallest possible
delay, currently, which is 1ms. This has shown to not pathologically
keep the disk busy by the original reporter.

The BTRFS_FS_CSUM_IMPL_FAST flag is currently set whenever a non-generic
crc32c is detected, which is the incorrect check if the file system uses
a different checksumming algorithm.  Refactor the code to only check
this if crc32c is actually used.  Note that in an ideal world the
information if an algorithm is hardware accelerated or not should be
provided by the crypto API instead, but that's left for another day.

Commit d7b9416fe5c5 ("btrfs: remove btrfs_end_io_wq") converted the read
and I/O handling from btrfs_workqueues to Linux workqueues, and as part
of that lost the code to apply the thread_pool= based max_active limit
on remount.  Restore it.

During fiemap, when walking backreferences to determine if a b+tree
node/leaf is shared, we may find a tree block (leaf or node) for which
two parents were added to the references ulist. This happens if we get
for example one direct ref (shared tree block ref) and one indirect ref
(non-shared tree block ref) for the tree block at the current level,
which can happen during relocation.

In that case the fiemap path cache can not be used since it's meant for
a single path, with one tree block at each possible level, so having
multiple references for a tree block at any level may result in getting
the level counter exceed BTRFS_MAX_LEVEL and eventually trigger the
warning:

   WARN_ON_ONCE(level &gt;= BTRFS_MAX_LEVEL)

at lookup_backref_shared_cache() and at store_backref_shared_cache().
This is harmless since the code ignores any level &gt;= BTRFS_MAX_LEVEL, the
warning is there just to catch any unexpected case like the one described
above. However if a user finds this it may be scary and get reported.

So just ignore the path cache once we find a tree block for which there
are more than one reference, which is the less common case, and update
the cache with the sharedness check result for all levels below the level
for which we found multiple references.

Before relocating a block group we pause scrub, then do the relocation and
then unpause scrub. The relocation process requires starting and committing
a transaction, and if we have a failure in the critical section of the
transaction commit path (transaction state &gt;= TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START),
we will deadlock if there is a paused scrub.

That results in stack traces like the following:

What happens is the following:

1) A scrub is running, so fs_info-&gt;scrubs_running is 1;

2) Task A starts block group relocation, and at btrfs_relocate_chunk() it
   pauses scrub by calling btrfs_scrub_pause(). That increments
   fs_info-&gt;scrub_pause_req from 0 to 1 and waits for the scrub task to
   pause (for fs_info-&gt;scrubs_paused to be == to fs_info-&gt;scrubs_running);

3) The scrub task pauses at scrub_pause_off(), waiting for
   fs_info-&gt;scrub_pause_req to decrease to 0;

4) Task A then enters btrfs_relocate_block_group(), and down that call
   chain we start a transaction and then attempt to commit it;

5) When task A calls btrfs_commit_transaction(), it either will do the
   commit itself or wait for some other task that already started the
   commit of the transaction - it doesn't matter which case;

6) The transaction commit enters state TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START;

7) An error happens during the transaction commit, like -ENOSPC when
   running delayed refs or delayed items for example;

8) This results in calling transaction.c:cleanup_transaction(), where
   we call btrfs_scrub_cancel(), incrementing fs_info-&gt;scrub_cancel_req
   from 0 to 1, and blocking this task waiting for fs_info-&gt;scrubs_running
   to decrease to 0;

9) From this point on, both the transaction commit and the scrub task
   hang forever:

   1) The transaction commit is waiting for fs_info-&gt;scrubs_running to
      be decreased to 0;

   2) The scrub task is at scrub_pause_off() waiting for
      fs_info-&gt;scrub_pause_req to decrease to 0 - so it can not proceed
      to stop the scrub and decrement fs_info-&gt;scrubs_running from 0 to 1.

   Therefore resulting in a deadlock.

Fix this by having cleanup_transaction(), called if a transaction commit
fails, not call btrfs_scrub_cancel() if relocation is in progress, and
having btrfs_relocate_block_group() call btrfs_scrub_cancel() instead if
the relocation failed and a transaction abort happened.

This was triggered with btrfs/061 from fstests.

Before relocating a block group we pause scrub, then do the relocation and
then unpause scrub. The relocation process requires starting and committing
a transaction, and if we have a failure in the critical section of the
transaction commit path (transaction state &gt;= TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START),
we will deadlock if there is a paused scrub.

That results in stack traces like the following:

What happens is the following:

1) A scrub is running, so fs_info-&gt;scrubs_running is 1;

2) Task A starts block group relocation, and at btrfs_relocate_chunk() it
   pauses scrub by calling btrfs_scrub_pause(). That increments
   fs_info-&gt;scrub_pause_req from 0 to 1 and waits for the scrub task to
   pause (for fs_info-&gt;scrubs_paused to be == to fs_info-&gt;scrubs_running);

3) The scrub task pauses at scrub_pause_off(), waiting for
   fs_info-&gt;scrub_pause_req to decrease to 0;

4) Task A then enters btrfs_relocate_block_group(), and down that call
   chain we start a transaction and then attempt to commit it;

5) When task A calls btrfs_commit_transaction(), it either will do the
   commit itself or wait for some other task that already started the
   commit of the transaction - it doesn't matter which case;

6) The transaction commit enters state TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START;

7) An error happens during the transaction commit, like -ENOSPC when
   running delayed refs or delayed items for example;

8) This results in calling transaction.c:cleanup_transaction(), where
   we call btrfs_scrub_cancel(), incrementing fs_info-&gt;scrub_cancel_req
   from 0 to 1, and blocking this task waiting for fs_info-&gt;scrubs_running
   to decrease to 0;

9) From this point on, both the transaction commit and the scrub task
   hang forever:

   1) The transaction commit is waiting for fs_info-&gt;scrubs_running to
      be decreased to 0;

   2) The scrub task is at scrub_pause_off() waiting for
      fs_info-&gt;scrub_pause_req to decrease to 0 - so it can not proceed
      to stop the scrub and decrement fs_info-&gt;scrubs_running from 0 to 1.

   Therefore resulting in a deadlock.

Fix this by having cleanup_transaction(), called if a transaction commit
fails, not call btrfs_scrub_cancel() if relocation is in progress, and
having btrfs_relocate_block_group() call btrfs_scrub_cancel() instead if
the relocation failed and a transaction abort happened.

This was triggered with btrfs/061 from fstests.

<title>btrfs: scan device in non-exclusive mode</title>

This fixes mkfs/mount/check failures due to race with systemd-udevd
scan.

During the device scan initiated by systemd-udevd, other user space
EXCL operations such as mkfs, mount, or check may get blocked and result
in a "Device or resource busy" error. This is because the device
scan process opens the device with the EXCL flag in the kernel.

Two reports were received:

 - btrfs/179 test case, where the fsck command failed with the -EBUSY
   error

 - LTP pwritev03 test case, where mkfs.vfs failed with
   the -EBUSY error, when mkfs.vfs tried to overwrite old btrfs filesystem
   on the device.

In both cases, fsck and mkfs (respectively) were racing with a
systemd-udevd device scan, and systemd-udevd won, resulting in the
-EBUSY error for fsck and mkfs.

Reproducing the problem has been difficult because there is a very
small window during which these userspace threads can race to
acquire the exclusive device open. Even on the system where the problem
was observed, the problem occurrences were anywhere between 10 to 400
iterations and chances of reproducing decreases with debug printk()s.

However, an exclusive device open is unnecessary for the scan process,
as there are no write operations on the device during scan. Furthermore,
during the mount process, the superblock is re-read in the below
function call chain:

  btrfs_mount_root
   btrfs_open_devices
    open_fs_devices
     btrfs_open_one_device
       btrfs_get_bdev_and_sb

So, to fix this issue, removes the FMODE_EXCL flag from the scan
operation, and add a comment.

The case where mkfs may still write to the device and a scan is running,
the btrfs signature is not written at that time so scan will not
recognize such device.

So, to fix this issue, removes the FMODE_EXCL flag from the scan
operation, and add a comment.

The case where mkfs may still write to the device and a scan is running,
the btrfs signature is not written at that time so scan will not
recognize such device.
