Here comes the first RFC version of btrfs-convert rework.
Any test is welcomed, and it can already pass the convert test from
btrfs-progs. (Since the test doesn't test rollback function)
The new btrfs-convert has the following bugfix/feature:
1. True separate meta/data chunk
The converted filesystem will has correct chunk layout, and all ext*
data will be covered by data chunk and metadata will be covered by
metadata chunk.
Allowing converted filesystem to pass latest btrfs check.
2. Structurized make_btrfs_v2()
Unlike old make_btrfs() which is a mess of hand written codes, new
make_btrfs_v2() is all structurized and should be easy for later
expansion.
But it still has something to do:
1) No rollback implement yet
The implement should be quite easy, but I hope we can check the
convert patches as soon as possible.
2) No cleanup yet
I didn't clean up the duplicated codes and unneeded codes yet.
3) Ability to handle TB level filesystem.
Current implement rely on the initial system chunk to contain all
chunks until we inserted all data chunks.
However the initial system chunk are only 32M, in simple calculation,
it can only hold at most 400K chunks.
If every chunk is in the smallest size (16M), it can only handle
less than 6T size in its worst case.
Better calculate the initial system chunk size according to the
filesystem size
4) Ability to create DUP metadata chunk without using balance
Now the data and metadata chunk are all in SINGLE profile.
User needs to convert metadata to DUP if they want DUP metadata
profile.
This is a little hard, as we must do it at make_btrfs() time, where
we don't have full btrfs facilities to modify the metadata tree.
This may need another rework on functions like btrfs_search_slot() to
support temporary btrfs image without btrfs_root structure.
The new btrfs-convert will work like the following:
1) Scan ext2 for all used space
2) Calculate the following tree maps:
convert_data_chunks:
Ranges must be covered by data chunks
Maps are batched to avoid small chunk and avoid reserved ranges
like the first 1MB of the device and superblock space.
free_space:
Ranges that later allocation can allocate from
With reserved ranges wiped.
3) Reserved space for superblock and system/metadata chunks
Use free_space above to reserve space
4) Make a temporary btrfs, using above super/system/metadata position
This is done by the new make_btrfs_v2() function.
5) Open temporary btrfs
6) Insert all data chunks to cover all ext* data
7) Create ext2_save subvolume and image
Unlike old implement, which did this later, we do this first, as this
method can reduce the extent fragments, reducing extent tree size.
And this also calculate all the csum if needed, making later inode
copy free from calculating csum.
8) Handle reserved ranges
Copy ext* data in reserved ranges into other places.
Now the hole ext2_save subvolume and image is created.
9) Copy inodes
Inode copy will use the ext2_save image as new logical <-> disk
mapping, to handle reserved ranges.
And yes, these patchset is already huge enough, but considering the
cleanup patches are not here yet, the net line of changes should be
under zero.
