Prealloc extent sizes were taken from the Extent object and did not
take the file size into account. If a file with a non-4K-aligned

The periodic cache age check was not protected by a lock, so multiple
threads may decide to concurrently clear the cache. This led to
duplicate log messages.
Fix by moving the cache expiry trigger out of FdCache and into Roots,
which knows when transids change and can perform cache clears at exactly
the time they are most relevant, i.e. after something that was deleted
becomes permanently so.
This removes the last references to BEES_COMMIT_INTERVAL, so get rid

RateEstimator estimates the rate of external events by sampling a
counter.
Conversion functions are provided to predict the time when the
event counter will be incremented to particular values based on past
observations of the event counter.
Synchronization functions are provided to block a thread until a specific
counter value is reached.
Event polling is supported using the history of previous event counts
to determine the predicted time of the next event. A decay function
emphasizes more recent event history.
Polling delays are bounded by minimum and maximum values in the constructor
parameters.
wait_for() and wait_until() block the calling thread until the target
event count is reached (or the counter is reset). These functions are
not bounded by min_delay or max_delay, and require a separate tread
to call update(). wait_for() waits for the counter to be incremented
from its current value by the given count. wait_until() waits for the
counter to reach an absolute value.
update() counts external events and unblocks threads that are blocked
in wait_for() or wait_until(). If the event counter decreases then it
is reset to the new value.
duration() and time_point() convert relative and absolute event counts
into relative and absolute C++11 time quantities based on the last update
time, last observed event count, and the observed event rate.
Convenience functions seconds_for() and seconds_until() calculate
polling delays for for the desired relative and absolute event counts
respectively. These delays are bounded by max and min delay parameters.
rate() and ratio() provide conversion factors based on the current
estimated event rate.

Threads from the Task module in libcrucible don't set BeesNote::tl_name.
Even if they did, in Task context the thread name is unspecific to the point
of meaninglessness.

that future Task print functions are designed for that usage.
The extra complexity in BeesNote::get_name() seems preferable to
bombarding pthread_setname_np hundreds or thousands of times per second.
FIXME: we are now calling Task::print() on every BeesNote, which

When we find a matching block we attempt to extend ("grow") the matched
pair around the first matching block. This function takes the IO hit of
reading the second extent from each duplicate extent pair. It's also
very slow--too many allocations, too small reads, reads in the wrong
order, an order of magnitude too many calls to TREE_SEARCH_V2, and it
is usually in the top 3 most frequent PERFORMANCE warnings.

We need a better cache expiration algorithm than "make a copy of
the entire thing, sort it while holding a lock, and delete half
the items in a single burst."
Replace the Lamport clock with a double-linked list. Each insert
or lookup operation moves the affected item to the head of the list.
Each erase operation deletes one single item at the tail of the list.
Also sort out some iterator invalidation nonsense by doing erases before
inserts instead of "insert, erase, find the inserted item again because
we invalidated the found iterator during the erase."
The new implementation adds a second word-sized member to each Value
as well as a copy of the Key. Hopefully the enlarged size is not

Include a brief description of the two algorithms without getting
into too much detail for an ostensibly temporary feature.
Signed-off-by: Zygo Blaxell <bees@furryterror.org>
There are two subvol scan algorithms implemented so far. The two modes
are unimaginatively named 0 and 1.
0: sorts extents by (inode, subvol, offset),
1: scans extents round-robin from all subvols.
Algorithm 0 scans references to the same extent at close to the same
time, which is good for performance; however, whenever a snapshot is
created, the scan of the entire filesystem restarts at the beginning of
the new snapshot.
Algorithm 1 makes continuous forward progress even when new snapshots
are created, but it does not benefit from caching and will force the
kernel to reread data multiple times when there are snapshots.
The algorithm can be selected at run-time using the -m or --scan-mode
option.
We can collect some field data on these before replacing them with
an extent-tree-based scanner. Alternatively, for pre-4.14 kernels,
we can keep these two modes as non-default options.
Currently these algorithms have terrible names. TODO: fix that, but
also TODO: delete all that code and do scans directly from the extent
tree instead.
Augment the scan algorithms relative to their earlier implementation by
batching multiple extents to scan from each subvol before switching to
a different subvol.
Sprinkle some BEESNOTEs on the Task objects so that they don't
disappear from the thread status output.
Adjust some timing constants to deal with the increased latency from

There is no need to report root and file paths separately in the error

Holding file FDs open for long periods of time delays inode destruction.

Use the same workaround for file FDs (in the root_ino cache) that

FDs at regular intervals. The FD cache will reacquire FDs from files
that still have existing paths, and will abandon FDs from files that
no longer have existing paths. The non-existing-path case is not new
(bees has always been able to discover deleted inodes) so it is already
handled by existing code.
