During fiemap, whenever we find a hole or prealloc extent, we will look for delalloc in that range, and one of the things we do for that is to find out ranges in the inode's io_tree marked with EXTENT_DELALLOC, using calls to count_range_bits(). Since we process file extents from left to right, if we have a file with several holes or prealloc extents, we benefit from keeping a cached extent state record for calls to count_range_bits(). Most of the time the last extent state record we visited in one call to count_range_bits() matches the first extent state record we will use in the next call to count_range_bits(), so there's a benefit here. So use an extent state record to cache results from count_range_bits() calls during fiemap. This change is part of a patchset that has the goal to make performance better for applications that use lseek's SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA modes to iterate over the extents of a file. Two examples are the cp program from coreutils 9.0+ and the tar program (when using its --sparse / -S option). A sample test and results are listed in the changelog of the last patch in the series: 1/9 btrfs: remove leftover setting of EXTENT_UPTODATE state in an inode's io_tree 2/9 btrfs: add an early exit when searching for delalloc range for lseek/fiemap 3/9 btrfs: skip unnecessary delalloc searches during lseek/fiemap 4/9 btrfs: search for delalloc more efficiently during lseek/fiemap 5/9 btrfs: remove no longer used btrfs_next_extent_map() 6/9 btrfs: allow passing a cached state record to count_range_bits() 7/9 btrfs: update stale comment for count_range_bits() 8/9 btrfs: use cached state when looking for delalloc ranges with fiemap 9/9 btrfs: use cached state when looking for delalloc ranges with lseek Reported-by: Wang Yugui <wangyugui@e16-tech.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/20221106073028.71F9.409509F4@e16-tech.com/ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/CAL3q7H5NSVicm7nYBJ7x8fFkDpno8z3PYt5aPU43Bajc1H0h1Q@mail.gmail.com/ 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.
