This patch updates the space balancing code to utilize the new backref format. Before, btrfs-vol -b would break any COW links on data blocks or metadata. This was slow and caused the amount of space used to explode if a large number of snapshots were present. The new code can keeps the sharing of all data extents and most of the tree blocks. To maintain the sharing of data extents, the space balance code uses a seperate inode hold data extent pointers, then updates the references to point to the new location. To maintain the sharing of tree blocks, the space balance code uses reloc trees to relocate tree blocks in reference counted roots. There is one reloc tree for each subvol, and all reloc trees share same root key objectid. Reloc trees are snapshots of the latest committed roots of subvols (root->commit_root). To relocate a tree block referenced by a subvol, there are two steps. COW the block through subvol's reloc tree, then update block pointer in the subvol to point to the new block. Since all reloc trees share same root key objectid, doing special handing for tree blocks owned by them is easy. Once a tree block has been COWed in one reloc tree, we can use the resulting new block directly when the same block is required to COW again through other reloc trees. In this way, relocated tree blocks are shared between reloc trees, so they are also shared between subvols. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
