The inode delalloc mutex was added a long time ago by commit f248679e86fea
("Btrfs: add a delalloc mutex to inodes for delalloc reservations"), and
the reason for its introduction is not very clear from the change log. It
claims it solves bogus warnings from lockdep, however it lacks an example
report/warning from lockdep, or any explanation.
Since we have enough concurrentcy protection from the locks of the space
info and block reserve objects, and such lockdep warnings don't seem to
exist anymore (at least on a 5.3 kernel I couldn't get them with fstests,
ltp, fs_mark, etc), remove it, simplifying things a bit and decreasing
the size of the btrfs_inode structure. With some quick fio tests doing
direct IO and mmap writes I couldn't observe any significant performance
increase either (direct IO writes that don't increase the file's size
don't hold the inode's lock for their entire duration and mmap writes
don't hold the inode's lock at all), which are the only type of writes
that could see any performance gain due to less serialization.
Review feedback from Josef:
The problem was taking the i_mutex in mmap, which is how I was
protecting delalloc reservations originally. The delalloc mutex didn't
come with all of the other dependencies. That's what the lockdep
messages were about, removing the lock isn't going to make them appear
again.
We _had_ to lock around this because we used to do tricks to keep from
over-reserving, and if we didn't serialize delalloc reservations we'd
end up with ugly accounting problems when we tried to clean things up.
However with my recentish changes this isn't the case anymore. Every
operation is responsible for reserving its space, and then adding it to
the inode. Then cleaning up is straightforward and can't be mucked up
by other users. So we no longer need the delalloc mutex to safe us from
ourselves.

If we fail to reserve metadata for delalloc operations we end up releasing
the previously reserved qgroup amount twice, once explicitly under the
'out_qgroup' label by calling btrfs_qgroup_free_meta_prealloc() and once
again, under label 'out_fail', by calling btrfs_inode_rsv_release() with a
value of 'true' for its 'qgroup_free' argument, which results in
btrfs_qgroup_free_meta_prealloc() being called again, so we end up having
a double free.
Also if we fail to reserve the necessary qgroup amount, we jump to the
label 'out_fail', which calls btrfs_inode_rsv_release() and that in turns
calls btrfs_qgroup_free_meta_prealloc(), even though we weren't able to
reserve any qgroup amount. So we freed some amount we never reserved.
So fix this by removing the call to btrfs_inode_rsv_release() in the
failure path, since it's not necessary at all as we haven't changed the
inode's block reserve in any way at this point.

btrfs_delalloc_release_extents()
[Background]
Btrfs qgroup uses two types of reserved space for METADATA space,
PERTRANS and PREALLOC.
PERTRANS is metadata space reserved for each transaction started by
btrfs_start_transaction().
While PREALLOC is for delalloc, where we reserve space before joining a
transaction, and finally it will be converted to PERTRANS after the
writeback is done.
[Inconsistency]
However there is inconsistency in how we handle PREALLOC metadata space.
The most obvious one is:
In btrfs_buffered_write():
btrfs_delalloc_release_extents(BTRFS_I(inode), reserve_bytes, true);
We always free qgroup PREALLOC meta space.
While in btrfs_truncate_block():
btrfs_delalloc_release_extents(BTRFS_I(inode), blocksize, (ret != 0));
We only free qgroup PREALLOC meta space when something went wrong.
[The Correct Behavior]
The correct behavior should be the one in btrfs_buffered_write(), we
should always free PREALLOC metadata space.
The reason is, the btrfs_delalloc_* mechanism works by:
- Reserve metadata first, even it's not necessary
In btrfs_delalloc_reserve_metadata()
- Free the unused metadata space
Normally in:
btrfs_delalloc_release_extents()
|- btrfs_inode_rsv_release()
Here we do calculation on whether we should release or not.
E.g. for 64K buffered write, the metadata rsv works like:
/* The first page */
reserve_meta: num_bytes=calc_inode_reservations()
free_meta: num_bytes=0
total: num_bytes=calc_inode_reservations()
/* The first page caused one outstanding extent, thus needs metadata
rsv */
/* The 2nd page */
reserve_meta: num_bytes=calc_inode_reservations()
free_meta: num_bytes=calc_inode_reservations()
total: not changed
/* The 2nd page doesn't cause new outstanding extent, needs no new meta
rsv, so we free what we have reserved */
/* The 3rd~16th pages */
reserve_meta: num_bytes=calc_inode_reservations()
free_meta: num_bytes=calc_inode_reservations()
total: not changed (still space for one outstanding extent)
This means, if btrfs_delalloc_release_extents() determines to free some
space, then those space should be freed NOW.
So for qgroup, we should call btrfs_qgroup_free_meta_prealloc() other
than btrfs_qgroup_convert_reserved_meta().
The good news is:
- The callers are not that hot
The hottest caller is in btrfs_buffered_write(), which is already
fixed by commit 336a8bb8e36a ("btrfs: Fix wrong
btrfs_delalloc_release_extents parameter"). Thus it's not that
easy to cause false EDQUOT.
- The trans commit in advance for qgroup would hide the bug
Since commit f5fef4593653 ("btrfs: qgroup: Make qgroup async transaction
commit more aggressive"), when btrfs qgroup metadata free space is slow,
it will try to commit transaction and free the wrongly converted
PERTRANS space, so it's not that easy to hit such bug.
[FIX]
So to fix the problem, remove the @qgroup_free parameter for
btrfs_delalloc_release_extents(), and always pass true to
btrfs_inode_rsv_release().

Historically we reserved worst case for every btree operation, and
generally speaking we want to do that in cases where it could be the
worst case. However for updating inodes we know the inode items are
already in the tree, so it will only be an update operation and never an
insert operation. This allows us to always reserve only the
metadata_size amount for inode updates rather than the
insert_metadata_size amount.

btrfs_calc_trunc_metadata_size differs from trans_metadata_size in that
it doesn't take into account any splitting at the levels, because
truncate will never split nodes. However truncate _and_ changing will
never split nodes, so rename btrfs_calc_trunc_metadata_size to
btrfs_calc_metadata_size. Also btrfs_calc_trans_metadata_size is purely
for inserting items, so rename this to btrfs_calc_insert_metadata_size.
Making these clearer will help when I start using them differently in
upcoming patches.

We have code for data and metadata reservations for delalloc. There's
quite a bit of code here, and it's used in a lot of places so I've
separated it out to it's own file. inode.c and file.c are already
pretty large, and this code is complicated enough to live in its own
space.
