New features: 新功能

  • raid-stripe-tree: New tree for logical file extent mapping where the physical mapping may not match on multiple devices. This is now used in zoned mode to implement RAID0/RAID1* profiles, but can be used in non-zoned mode as well. The support for RAID56 is in development and will eventually fix the problems with the current implementation. This is a backward incompatible feature and has to be enabled at mkfs time.
    raid-stripe-tree:用于逻辑文件范围映射的新树,物理映射可能在多个设备上不匹配。该功能现在用于在分区模式下实施 RAID0/RAID1* 配置文件,但也可用于非分区模式。对 RAID56 的支持正在开发中,最终将解决目前实施中存在的问题。这是一项向后不兼容的功能,必须在 mkfs 时启用。

  • simple quota accounting (squota): A simplified mode of qgroup that accounts all space on the initial extent owners (a subvolume), the snapshots are then cheap to create and delete. The deletion of snapshots in fully accounting qgroups is a known CPU/IO performance bottleneck.
    简单配额核算(squota):一种简化的 qgroup 模式,可核算初始范围所有者(子卷)上的所有空间,创建和删除快照的成本都很低。在完全核算的 qgroup 中删除快照是一个已知的 CPU/IO 性能瓶颈。

    Note: The squota is not suitable for the general use case but works well for containers where the original subvolume exists for the whole time. This is a backward incompatible feature as it needs extending some structures, but can be enabled on an existing filesystem.
    注意:squota 不适合一般使用情况,但对于原始子卷一直存在的容器来说,效果很好。这是一个向后不兼容的功能,因为它需要扩展某些结构,但可以在现有文件系统上启用。

  • temporary filesystem fsid (temp_fsid): The fsid identifies a filesystem and is hard coded in the structures, which disallows mounting the same fsid found on different devices.
    临时文件系统 fsid(temp_fsid):fsid 是文件系统的标识,硬编码在结构上,因此不允许挂载不同设备上的相同 fsid。

    For a single device filesystem this is not strictly necessary, a new temporary fsid can be generated on mount e.g. after a device is cloned. This will be used by Steam Deck for root partition A/B testing, or can be used for VM root images.
    对于单个设备文件系统来说,这并非绝对必要,可以在挂载时生成一个新的临时 fsid,例如在克隆设备后。这将被 Steam Deck 用于根分区 A/B 测试,也可用于虚拟机根镜像。

  • filesystems with partially finished metadata_uuid conversion cannot be mounted anymore and the uuid fixup has to be done by btrfs-progs (btrfstune).
    已完成部分 metadata_uuid 转换的文件系统无法再挂载,uuid 修复必须由 btrfs-progs (btrfstune) 完成。

Performance improvements:
性能改进:

  • reduce reservations for checksum deletions (with enabled free space tree by factor of 4), on a sample workload on file with many extents the deletion time decreased by 12%
    减少校验和删除的预留空间(启用的可用空间树为 4 倍),在一个有多个扩展名的文件样本工作量中,删除时间减少了 12

  • make extent state merges more efficient during insertions, reduce rb-tree iterations (run time of critical functions reduced by 5%)
    在插入过程中提高状态合并的效率,减少 rb-tree 的迭代(关键函数的运行时间减少 5%)

Core changes: 核心变化:

  • the integrity check functionality has been removed, this was a debugging feature and removal does not affect other integrity checks like checksums or tree-checker
    完整性检查功能已被移除,这是一项调试功能,移除该功能不会影响其他完整性检查,如校验和或树形检查器

  • space reservation changes:
    空间预订变更:

    • more efficient delayed ref reservations, this avoids building up too much work or overusing or exhausting the global block reserve in some situations
      更高效的延迟 ref 保留,可避免在某些情况下积累过多工作或过度使用或耗尽全局区块储备

    • move delayed refs reservation to the transaction start time, this prevents some ENOSPC corner cases related to exhaustion of global reserve
      将延迟参考预留移至交易开始时间,从而避免了一些与全局预留耗尽有关的 ENOSPC 死角

    • adjust overcommit logic in near full situations, account for one more chunk to eventually allocate metadata chunk, this is mostly relevant for small filesystems (<10GiB)
      调整接近满时的超量提交逻辑,考虑多分配一个块以最终分配元数据块,这主要与小文件系统(<10GiB)有关

  • single device filesystems are scanned but not registered (except seed devices), this allows temp_fsid to work
    单设备文件系统会被扫描,但不会被注册(种子设备除外),这样 temp_fsid 就可以工作了

    recovery 恢复

    • the new logic that splits mount to two phases slightly changes timing of device scanning for multi-device filesystems
      将挂载分为两个阶段的新逻辑会稍微改变多设备文件系统的设备扫描时序

    • LSM options will now work (like for selinux)
      LSM 选项现在可以工作了(与 selinux 类似)

  • convert delayed nodes radix tree to xarray, preserving the preload-like logic that still allows to allocate with GFP_NOFS
    将延迟节点 radix 树转换为 xarray,保留类似预加载的逻辑,仍可使用 GFP_NOFS 进行分配

Fixes: 修复:

    修复因未在全局块储备和延迟参考储备之间保持适当平衡而导致元数据块储备过多的问题;在实际操作中,这会留下空的元数据块组,解决方法是使用"-musage=1 "平衡过滤器来回收它们

  • fix corner case of send that would generate potentially large stream of zeros if there’s a hole at the end of the file
    修复了发送时可能产生大量零数据流(如果文件末尾有洞)的角落情况

  • fix chunk validation in zoned mode on conventional zones, it was possible to create chunks that would not be allowed on sequential zones

  • Allow metadata blocks larger than the page size (4K). 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. (Chris Mason)

  • Reworked the way in which metadata interacts with the page cache. page->private now points to the btrfs extent_buffer object, which makes everything faster. The code was changed so it now writes a whole extent buffer at a time instead of allowing individual pages to go down. It is now more aggressive about dropping pages for metadata blocks that were freed due to COW. Overall, metadata caching is much faster now. (Josef Bacik)
    重新设计了元数据与页面缓存的交互方式。page->private 现在指向 btrfs extent_buffer 对象,这让一切都变得更快。对代码进行了修改,现在一次写入整个 extent buffer,而不是允许单个页面下降。对于因 COW 而释放的元数据块,它现在会更积极地丢弃页面。总体而言,元数据缓存现在快多了。(Josef Bacik)

2.6.32 (December 2009)

ENOSPC

Btrfs has not had serious -ENOSPC (“no space”) handling, the COW oriented design makes handling such situations more difficult than filesystems that just rewrite the blocks. In this release Josef Bacik (Red Hat) has added the necessary infrastructure to fix that problem. Note: The filesystem may run out of space and still show some free space. That space comes from a data/metadata chunk that can’t get filled because there’s not space left to create its metadata/data counterpart chunk. This is unrelated to the -ENOSPC handling and will be fixed in the future. Code: [http://git.kernel.org/linus/9ed74f2dba6ebf9f30b80554290bfc73cc3ef083 (commit)]

Proper snapshot and subvolume deletion

In the last btrfs-progs version you have options that allow to delete snapshots and subvolumes without having to use rm. This is much faster because it does the deletion via btree walking. It’s also now possible to rename snapshots and subvols. Work done by Yan Zheng (Oracle). Code: [http://git.kernel.org/linus/4df27c4d5cc1dda54ed7d0a8389347f2df359cf9 (commit 1)], [http://git.kernel.org/linus/76dda93c6ae2c1dc3e6cde34569d6aca26b0c918 2)]

Performance improvements

Streaming writes on very fast hardware were previously CPU bound at around 400MB/s. Chris Mason (Oracle) has improved the code so that now it can push over 1GB/s while using the same CPU as XFS (factoring out checksums). There are also improvements for writing large portions of extents, and other workloads. Multidevice setups are also much faster due to the per-BDI writeback changes. The performance of fsync() was greatly improved, which fixed a severe slowdown while using yum in Fedora 11.

Support for “discard” operation on SSD devices

“Discard” support is a way to telling SSD devices which blocks are free so that the underlying firmware knows that it’s safe to do some optimizations [http://git.kernel.org/linus/e244a0aeb6a599c19a7c802cda6e2d67c847b154 (commit)], [http://git.kernel.org/linus/0634857488ec6e28fa22920cd0bee3c2ac07ccfd (commit)]

0.16 (August 2008)

v0.16 does change the disk format from v0.15, and it includes a long list of performance and stability updates.

Fine grained Btree locking

Locking is now done in a top down fashion while searching the btree, and higher level locks are freed when they are no longer required. Extent allocations still have a coarse grained lock, but that will be improved in the next release.

Improved data=ordered

Ordered data mode loosely means any system that prevents garbage or stale data blocks after a crash. It was previously implemented the same way ext3 does it, which is to force pending data writes down before a transaction commits.

The data=ordered code was changed to only modify metadata in the btree after data extents are fully written on disk. This allows a transaction commit to proceed without waiting for all the data writes on the FS to finish.

A single fsync or synchronous write no longer forces all the dirty data on the FS to disk, as it does in ext3 and reiserfsv3.

Although it is not implemented yet, the new data=ordered code would allow atomic writes of almost any size to a single file to be exported to userland.

ACL support (Josef Bacik)

ACLs are implemented and enabled by default.

Lost file prevention (Josef Bacik)

The VFS and posix APIs force filesystems allow files to be unlinked from a directory before they are deleted from the FS. If the system crashes between the unlink and the deletion, the file is still consuming space on disk, but not listed in any directory.

Btrfs now tracks these files and makes sure they are reclaimed if the system crashes before they are fully deleted.

New directory index format (Josef Bacik)

Btrfs indexes directories in two ways. The first index allows fast name lookups, and the second is optimized to return inodes in something close to disk order for readdir. The second index is an important part of good performance for full filesystem backups.

A per-directory sequence number is now used for the second index, removing some worst case conditions around files that are hard linked into the same directory many times.

Faster unmount times (Yan Zheng)

Btrfs waits for old transactions to be completely removed from the FS before unmount finishes. A new reference count cache was added to make this much less IO intensive, improving FS performance in all workloads.

Improved streaming reads and writes

The new data=ordered code makes streaming writes much faster. Streaming reads are improved by tuning the thread pools used to process data checksums after the read is done. On machines with sufficient CPU power to keep up with the disks, data checksumming is able to run as fast as nodatasum mounts.

0.17 (January 2009)

Btrfs is now in 2.6.29-rc1!

v0.17 has a new disk format since v0.16. Future releases will try to maintain backwards compatibility with this new format.

Compression

Transparent zlib compression of file data is enabled by mount -o compress.

Improved block allocation routines (Josef Bacik)

Many performance problems in the allocator are addressed in this release

Improved block sharing while moving extents (Yan Zheng)

The btrfs-vol commands to add, remove and balance space across devices triggers a COW of metadata and data blocks. This release is much better at maintaining shared blocks between snapshots when that COW happens.

Seed Device support

It is now possible to create a filesystem to seed other Btrfs filesystems. The original filesystem and devices are included as a readonly starting point to the new FS. All modifications go onto different devices and the COW machinery makes sure the original is unchanged.

Many bug fixes and performance improvements

0.18 (January 2009)

v0.18 has the same disk format as 0.17, but a bug was found in the ioctl interface shared between 32 bit and 64 bit programs. This was fixed by changing the ioctl interface. Anyone using 2.6.29-rc2 will need to update to v0.18 of the btrfs progs.

There is no need to reformat though, the disk format is still compatible.

0.19 (June 2009)

v0.19 is a forward rolling format change, which means that it can read the v0.18 disk format but older kernels and older btrfs-progs code will not be able to read filesystems created with v0.19. The new code changes the way that extent back references are recorded, making them significantly more efficient. In general, v0.19 is a dramatic speed improvement over v0.18 in almost every workload.

The v0.19 utilities are meant for use with kernels 2.6.31-rc1 and higher. Git trees are available with the new format code for 2.6.30 kernels, please see the download section for details.

If you do not wish to roll forward to the new disk format, use the v0.18 utilities.
