Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs
Pull btrfs fixes and features from Chris Mason: "We've merged in the error handling patches from SuSE. These are already shipping in the sles kernel, and they give btrfs the ability to abort transactions and go readonly on errors. It involves a lot of churn as they clarify BUG_ONs, and remove the ones we now properly deal with. Josef reworked the way our metadata interacts with the page cache. page->private now points to the btrfs extent_buffer object, which makes everything faster. He changed it so we write an whole extent buffer at a time instead of allowing individual pages to go down,, which will be important for the raid5/6 code (for the 3.5 merge window ;) Josef also made us more aggressive about dropping pages for metadata blocks that were freed due to COW. Overall, our metadata caching is much faster now. We've integrated my patch for metadata bigger than the page size. This allows metadata blocks up to 64KB in size. In practice 16K and 32K seem to work best. For workloads with lots of metadata, this cuts down the size of the extent allocation tree dramatically and fragments much less. Scrub was updated to support the larger block sizes, which ended up being a fairly large change (thanks Stefan Behrens). We also have an assortment of fixes and updates, especially to the balancing code (Ilya Dryomov), the back ref walker (Jan Schmidt) and the defragging code (Liu Bo)." Fixed up trivial conflicts in fs/btrfs/scrub.c that were just due to removal of the second argument to k[un]map_atomic() in commit 7ac687d9e047. * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mason/linux-btrfs: (75 commits) Btrfs: update the checks for mixed block groups with big metadata blocks Btrfs: update to the right index of defragment Btrfs: do not bother to defrag an extent if it is a big real extent Btrfs: add a check to decide if we should defrag the range Btrfs: fix recursive defragment with autodefrag option Btrfs: fix the mismatch of page->mapping Btrfs: fix race between direct io and autodefrag Btrfs: fix deadlock during allocating chunks Btrfs: show useful info in space reservation tracepoint Btrfs: don't use crc items bigger than 4KB Btrfs: flush out and clean up any block device pages during mount btrfs: disallow unequal data/metadata blocksize for mixed block groups Btrfs: enhance superblock sanity checks Btrfs: change scrub to support big blocks Btrfs: minor cleanup in scrub Btrfs: introduce common define for max number of mirrors Btrfs: fix infinite loop in btrfs_shrink_device() Btrfs: fix memory leak in resolver code Btrfs: allow dup for data chunks in mixed mode Btrfs: validate target profiles only if we are going to use them ...
