Previously, the btree has always been self contained and internally consistent on disk without anything from the journal - the journal just contained pointers to the btree roots. However, this meant that btree node split or compact operations - i.e. anything that changes btree node topology and involves updates to interior nodes - would require that interior btree node to be written immediately, which means emitting a btree node write that's mostly empty (using 4k of space on disk if the filesystemm blocksize is 4k to only write perhaps ~100 bytes of new keys). More importantly, this meant most btree node writes had to be FUA, and consumer drives have a history of slow and/or buggy FUA support - other filesystes have been bit by this. This patch changes the interior btree update path to journal updates to interior nodes, after the writes for the new btree nodes have completed. Best of all, it turns out to simplify the interior node update path somewhat. Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Kent Overstreet <kent.overstreet@linux.dev> |

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.
