(WARNING: this patch is not completed or well-tested)

We used to allocate inode number by searching through inode items, but 
it made the allocation slower and slower as more and more files created.

The current code just records the highest objectid in the btree without
reusing old inode numbers, which will make the filesystem run out of
inode number as we create/delete files.

In this patch, free inode numbers are stored in the fs tree with key:

	[start, BTRFS_INO_EXTENT_KEY, end]

@start is the first free inode number in the extent, while @end is the
last one.

To group those ino extents together, they are actually stored as:

	[start+OFFSET, BTRFS_INO_EXTENT_KEY, end+OFFSET]

(OFFSET == 263)

At start-up we read some of the ino extents from disk, so in most of the cases
we just manipulate the in-memory cache when creating/deleting files, and we
update (modify, del, insert) ino extents at transaction commit. We'll also
do the updates when the cache grows big.

Here comes the compatability issue. It's fine to mount old btrfs, because
we'll just use the original way to find free ino. But we can't mount new btrfs
in older kernels, because the OFFSET makes highest objectid overflow when it
is cast to unsigned long in 32bits system.

We can store ino extents to a seperate btree, and then the new btrfs can
be mounted in older kernels, but another problem will arise when remounting it
in new kernels - creating new files will probably fail (but not oops)
because the ino extent items are not consistent with inode items.

If the above behavior (failing to create files) is not acceptable, we'll
have to add an incompat flag.

I can't comment the patch from a technical point of view. However I want
to add a my comment about the compatibility issues.

I remember that Linus was not happy about a filesystem which is not
compatible when the the kernel version decrease. IIRC during the switch
from ext3 to ext4 there were some issues during a git bis-sect process.

So my suggestions are:
- don't allow that an automatic switch to the new inode allocation
policy. It should be the user to force this switch ( via a mount option
for example)
- in case the performance regression are noticeable, allow the user to
use the old policy, which, if I understood correctly, work fine on a 64
bit system [*].

Regards
G.Baroncelli

Thanks a lot for working on this, it isn't an easy problem.

I think Josef's free space cache for the extent allocation tree is the
model you want to use.  They are actually solving exactly the same
problem:

In the extent allocation tree, a free extent is one with no keys in the
tree.

In the FS tree, a free inode is one with no keys in the tree.

He has a cache that gets written on a per block group basis for the free
extents in that block group.  It's a somewhat easier problem to solve in
the inode number cache because you don't have the same problem where you
need free blocks to store the free block cache ;)

In his code, the cache stores the generation number of the commit that
was used to create the cache.  If a cache unaware kernel mounts the
filesystem and makes changes, we notice on the next mount because the
cache generation number doesn't match the filesystem generation number.

It will probably be easiest to dedicate a specific objectid to the inode
number cache in each FS tree (say objectid == -12ULL), and then put the
caching items directly in the tree under that objectid.

I'd suggest that you also reuse his code to compactly store a range of
free extents.  It wouldn't be hard to have a simple compression scheme
that stored ranges for huge chunks of free inode numbers and did a
bitmask for ranges where there are lots of free individual inodes.
