Filipe Manana 2e438442ba btrfs: remove not needed mod_start and mod_len from struct extent_map
The mod_start and mod_len fields of struct extent_map were introduced by
commit 4e2f84e63d ("Btrfs: improve fsync by filtering extents that we
want") in order to avoid too low performance when fsyncing a file that
keeps getting extent maps merge, because it resulted in each fsync logging
again csum ranges that were already merged before.

We don't need this anymore as extent maps in the list of modified extents
are never merged with other extent maps and once we log an extent map we
remove it from the list of modified extent maps, so it's never logged
twice.

So remove the mod_start and mod_len fields from struct extent_map and use
instead the start and len fields when logging checksums in the fast fsync
path. This also makes EXTENT_FLAG_FILLING unused so remove it as well.

Running the reproducer from the commit mentioned before, with a larger
number of extents and against a null block device, so that IO is fast
and we can better see any impact from searching checksums items and
logging them, gave the following results from dd:

Before this change:

   409600000 bytes (410 MB, 391 MiB) copied, 22.948 s, 17.8 MB/s

After this change:

   409600000 bytes (410 MB, 391 MiB) copied, 22.9997 s, 17.8 MB/s

So no changes in throughput.
The test was done in a release kernel (non-debug, Debian's default kernel
config) and its steps are the following:

   $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/nullb0
   $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt
   $ dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/foobar bs=4k count=100000 oflag=sync
   $ umount /mnt

This also reduces the size of struct extent_map from 128 bytes down to 112
bytes, so now we can have 36 extents maps per 4K page instead of 32.

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 reStructuredText 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.
