Notable fixes:
|
||||
|
||||
- scrub performance drop due to rewrite in 6.4 partially restored, the drop is
|
||||
noticeable on fast PCIe devices, -66% and restored to -33% of the original
|
||||
- copy directory permissions and time when creating a stub subvolume
|
||||
- fix transaction commit stalls when auto relocation is running and blocks
|
||||
other tasks that want to commit
|
||||
- change behaviour of readdir()/rewinddir() when new directory entries are
|
||||
created after opendir(), properly tracking the last entry
|
||||
|
||||
Core:
|
||||
|
||||
- debugging feature integrity checker deprecated, to be removed in 6.7
|
||||
- in zoned mode, zones are activated just before the write, making
|
||||
error handling easier, now the overcommit mechanism can be enabled
|
||||
again which improves performance by avoiding more frequent flushing
|
||||
- v0 extent handling completely removed, deprecated long time ago

New features:
|
||||
|
||||
- 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.
|
||||
|
||||
- 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.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
- 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.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
- filesystems with partially finished metadata_uuid conversion cannot be
|
||||
mounted anymore and the uuid fixup has to be done by btrfs-progs (btrfstune).
|
||||
|
||||
Performance improvements:
|
||||
|
||||
- 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%
|
||||
|
||||
- make extent state merges more efficient during insertions, reduce rb-tree
|
||||
iterations (run time of critical functions reduced by 5%)
|
||||
|
||||
Core changes:
|
||||
|
||||
- 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
|
||||
|
||||
- space reservation changes:
|
||||
|
||||
- more efficient delayed ref reservations, this avoids building up too much
|
||||
work or overusing or exhausting the global block reserve in some situations
|
||||
- move delayed refs reservation to the transaction start time, this prevents
|
||||
some ENOSPC corner cases related to exhaustion of global reserve
|
||||
|
||||
- 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)
|
||||
|
||||
- single device filesystems are scanned but not registered (except seed
|
||||
devices), this allows temp_fsid to work
