Have the semantics of sync been changed in btrfs from "sync everything that hasn't been written yet" to "sync this subvolume"? =46rom what I understand what should be happening is much like what LVM= should do: step 1: defer all other writes to subvolume (userspace processes get stuck in D state until step 4) step 2: sync all changes not already committed to subvolume step 3: create snapshot step 4: resume writes from userspace Now if all 4 steps can be done with in-memory data structures without forcing data (not necessarily meta-data) to disk, so much the better. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" = in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 17+ messages in thread

You either get fast writes or you get all of your= data on the disk every 5 seconds. If you don't like delalloc, use ext3. The d= ata you've written to memory doesn't go down to disk unless explicitly told= to, such as 1) fsync - this is obvious 2) vm - the vm has decided that this dirty page has been sitting around= long enough and should be written back to the disk, could happen now, could = happen 10 years from now. 3) sync - this is not as obvious. sync doesn't mean anything than "sta= rt writing back dirty data to the fs", and returns before it's done. For = btrfs what that means is we run through _every_ inode that has delalloc pages associated with them and start writeback on them. This will get most o= f your data into the current transaction, which is when the snapshot happens. If you don't want empty files, do something like this btrfsctl -c /dir/to/volume btrfsctl -s /dir/to/volume/snapshotname /dir/to/volume this is what we do with yum and its rollback plugin, and it works out q= uite well.

Nope, what is happening is fd =3D creat("file") <- this is metadata that needs to be written write(fd, buf) <- because of delalloc there is no metadata that is= created for this operation, therefore it doesn't need to be written out. close(fd) so the file has metadata created for it, which needs to be written out.= Because of delalloc there are no extents created or anything for the data, ther= efore there is nothing to write.

So if you creat millions of fi= les you are going to be held up every 30 seconds as the transaction commits and= writes all the files you were able to create within that 30 seconds, same as _= any_ filesystem that does ordered mode. Creating a file is a metadata operation, and _any_ metadata operation h= as to be committed to disk when the transaction commits in order to maintain a c= oherent fs.

Meta-data changes like file creation get added to the current transaction and snapshots start a new transaction so that is why the empty file is in the snapshot. The file is empty because with delayed allocation, the data has not hit the filesystem yet and thus has no representation in filesystem operations like snapshots. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" = in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 17+ messages in thread

You can make btrfs include the file data in the snapshot along with the metadata with the 'flushoncommit' mount option. The problem is that this will make _all_ btrfs commits more expensive, as they'll block new operations during the commit while old data is being flushed out. We could trivially make this happen only when there is a new snapshot, to get the behavior you expect (see patch below). If the goal is to make a perfectly consistent snapshot of the file system, this is better than sync ; btrfsctl -s snap whatever because there wouldn't be a window where metadata changes make it into the snapshot but file data does not. Is there really a use case for the sort of 'lazy' snapshots with out-of-sync data and metadata (like 0-byte files)? If so, we should add another ioctl for a full-blown snapshot so that users who _do_ want a fully consistent snapshot can get it.

I don't have the knowledge to say if your patch is good or not from a performance point of view, but to me, the behaviour of your patch seems a reasonable defaults. I may accept that a crash can break a supposed sequence of a writing on the disk, so data which should be on the disk never reach the disk. But I can reduce the risk of this behaviour with an UPS. Instead the fact that a snapshot may not taken the last data to me seems an un-acceptable behaviour. Worse, this behaviour may lead to write code like do_sync(); do_snapshot(); which is difficult to optimise at the kernel level; instead if we put a sync before a snapshot in the core of the btrfs, even tough in the present there is performance problem, may have (even in a far future) a possible optimisation..

AIUI, you're correct that a writer process concurrent to a snapshot leads to a race with data that doesn't make it in to the snapshot, but I think you're wrong in thinking that there's much we could do about it -- either you miss writes between sync and snapshot, as we do now, or we do sync-and-snapshot atomically, and the concurrent writes are missed because we decided to block further writes from that process before we took the snapshot. The only real answer is to quiesce the writer process before you begin.
