Hi,

this is the main part of my 4.12 pull, condensed changelog below. I might send another pull with low-risk patches, mostly cleanups, but so far I'm done with base testing now. We had a high-churn cycle last time, so this could be small one and we can concentrate on testing & fixing the raid56 updates.

The qgroup patches have been in for-next but I haven't seen any new review for the core part.

Updates:
* raid56:
* fix mirror name in warning message after repair
* scrub fixes: calculate parity correctly
* scrub recheck and dev replace race fix
* enabled auto-repair during read
* fix warnings during recovery, due to races, bogus reports can appear
* switch to refcount_t where atomic_t was used for plain refcounting
* new and updated tracepoints
* split __btrfs_map_block, clean up
* minor qgroup fixes
* usual cleanups

Hi,

Did you actually ran xfstests with those readahead patches to preallocate radix tree nodes?

With those 2 patches applied (Chris' for-linus.4,12 branch) this breaks things and many btrfs specific tests (at least, since I can't get pass them) result in tons of traces like the following in a debug kernel:

Huh, I did and these didn't come up. I'll double check I have preemption enabled.

Did you actually ran xfstests with those readahead patches to preallocate radix tree nodes?

With those 2 patches applied (Chris' for-linus.4,12 branch) this breaks things and many btrfs specific tests (at least, since I can't get pass them) result in tons of traces like the following in a debug kernel:

I did, no such reports appeared in my setup. There are several debugging options enabled in the config but I don't see the one to catch sleep in atomic. I'll fix my setup scripts to enable it before each build. There might be other surprises that I missed though. Thanks for cathing it.

Hi,

So radix_tree_preload doesn't work the way I thought it did. It populates a per-cpu pool of radix tree nodes so the allocation is sure not to fail.

But, when we go to actually allocate the node during radix_tree_insert:

static struct radix_tree_node * radix_tree_node_alloc(gfp_t gfp_mask, struct radix_tree_node *parent,
struct radix_tree_root *root, unsigned int shift, unsigned int offset, unsigned int count, unsigned int exceptional)

        struct radix_tree_node *ret = NULL;

        ret = kmem_cache_alloc(radix_tree_node_cachep, gfp_mask);

We only jump into the preload pool if our gfp_mask for the root doesn't allow blocking. And even if we don't allow blocking we'll still hit the pool as a last resort.

So I think the right answer is to keep the sleeping flag off the root and also keep the preload GFP_KERNEL.
