Linux kernel source tree
086dcbfa50
When logging a directory, we scan its directory items from the subvolume tree and then copy one by one into the log tree. This is not efficient since we generally are able to insert several items in a batch, using a single btree operation for adding several items at once. The reason we copy items one by one is that we must check if each item was previously logged in the current transaction, and if it was we either overwrite it or skip it in case its content did not change in the subvolume tree (this can happen only for dir item keys, but not for dir index keys), and doing such check makes it a bit cumbersome to attempt batch insertions. However the chances for doing batch insertions are very frequent and always happen when: 1) Logging the directory for the first time in the current transaction, as none of the items exist in the log tree yet; 2) Logging new dir index keys, because the offset for new dir index keys comes from a monotonically increasing counter. This means if we keep adding dentries to a directory, through creation of new files and sub-directories or by adding new links or renaming from some other directory into the one we are logging, all the new dir index keys have a new offset that is greater than the offset of any previously logged index keys, so we can insert them in batches into the log tree. For dir item keys, since their offset depends on the result of an hash function against the dentry's name, unless the directory is being logged for the first time in the current transaction, the chances being able to insert the items in the log using batches is pretty much random and not predictable, as it depends on the names of the dentries, but still happens often enough. So change directory logging to keep track of consecutive directory items that don't exist yet in the log and batch insert them. This patch is part of a patchset comprised of the following 5 patches: btrfs: remove root argument from btrfs_log_inode() and its callees btrfs: remove redundant log root assignment from log_dir_items() btrfs: factor out the copying loop of dir items from log_dir_items() btrfs: insert items in batches when logging a directory when possible btrfs: keep track of the last logged keys when logging a directory This is patch 4/5. The change log of the last patch (5/5) has performance results. Signed-off-by: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
