Subject: [RFC PATCH v1 0/5] BTRFS hot relocation support

  The patchset as RFC is sent out mainly to see if its design
goes in the correct development direction.

  When working on this feature, i am trying to change as less
the existing btrfs code as possible. After V0 was sent out,
i carefully checked the patchset for speed profile, and don't
think that it is meanful to BTRFS hot relocation, but think
that it is one simple and effective way to introduce one new
block group for nonrotating disk to differentiate if the block
space is reserved from rotating disk or nonrotating disk; So
It's very appreciated that the developers can double check if
the design is appropriate to BTRFS hot reloction.

  The patchset is trying to introduce hot relocation support
for BTRFS. In hybrid storage environment, when the data in
rotating disk get hot, it can be relocated to nonrotating disk
by BTRFS hot relocation support automatically; also, if
nonrotating disk ratio exceed its upper threshold, the data
which get cold can be looked up and relocated to rotating disk
to make more space in nonrotating disk at first, and then the 
data which get hot will be relocated to nonrotating disk
automatically.

  BTRFS hot relocation mainly reserve block space from nonrotating
disk at first, load the hot data to page cache from rotating disk,
allocate block space from nonrotating disk, and finally write the
data to it.

  If you'd like to play with it, pls pull the patchset from
my git on github:
  https://github.com/wuzhy/kernel.git hot_reloc

For how to use, please refer too the example below:

root@debian-i386:~# echo 0 > /sys/block/vdc/queue/rotational
^^^ Above command will hack /dev/vdc to be one SSD disk
root@debian-i386:~# echo 999999 > /proc/sys/fs/hot-age-interval
root@debian-i386:~# echo 10 > /proc/sys/fs/hot-update-interval
root@debian-i386:~# echo 10 > /proc/sys/fs/hot-reloc-interval
root@debian-i386:~# mkfs.btrfs -d single -m single -h /dev/vdb /dev/vdc -f
