Linux kernel source tree
521b6803f2
Every time we send a write command, we open the inode, read some data to a buffer and then close the inode. The amount of data we read for each write command is at most 48K, returned by max_send_read_size(), and that corresponds to: BTRFS_SEND_BUF_SIZE - 16K = 48K. In practice this does not add any significant overhead, because the time elapsed between every close (iput()) and open (btrfs_iget()) is very short, so the inode is kept in the VFS's cache after the iput() and it's still there by the time we do the next btrfs_iget(). As between processing extents of the current inode we don't do anything else, it makes sense to keep the inode open after we process its first extent that needs to be sent and keep it open until we start processing the next inode. This serves to facilitate the next change, which aims to avoid having send operations trash the page cache with data extents.

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.
