btrfs: skip backref walking during fiemap if we know the leaf is shared
During fiemap, when checking if a data extent is shared we are doing the
backref walking even if we already know the leaf is shared, which is a
waste of time since if the leaf shared then the data extent is also
shared. So skip the backref walking when we know we are in a shared leaf.
The following test was measures the gains for a case where all leaves
are shared due to a snapshot:
$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/bash
DEV=/dev/sdj
MNT=/mnt/sdj
umount $DEV &> /dev/null
mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV
# Use compression to quickly create files with a lot of extents
# (each with a size of 128K).
mount -o compress=lzo $DEV $MNT
# 40G gives 327680 extents, each with a size of 128K.
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xab -b 1M 0 40G" $MNT/foobar
# Add some more files to increase the size of the fs and extent
# trees (in the real world there's a lot of files and extents
# from other files).
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xcd -b 1M 0 20G" $MNT/file1
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xef -b 1M 0 20G" $MNT/file2
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0x73 -b 1M 0 20G" $MNT/file3
# Create a snapshot so all the extents become indirectly shared
# through subtrees, with a generation less than or equals to the
# generation used to create the snapshot.
btrfs subvolume snapshot -r $MNT $MNT/snap1
# Unmount and mount again to clear cached metadata.
umount $MNT
mount -o compress=lzo $DEV $MNT
start=$(date +%s%N)
# The filefrag tool uses the fiemap ioctl.
filefrag $MNT/foobar
end=$(date +%s%N)
dur=$(( (end - start) /
1000000 ))
echo "fiemap took $dur milliseconds (metadata not cached)"
echo
start=$(date +%s%N)
filefrag $MNT/foobar
end=$(date +%s%N)
dur=$(( (end - start) /
1000000 ))
echo "fiemap took $dur milliseconds (metadata cached)"
umount $MNT
The results were the following on a non-debug kernel (Debian's default
kernel config).
Before this patch:
(...)
/mnt/sdi/foobar: 327680 extents found
fiemap took 1821 milliseconds (metadata not cached)
/mnt/sdi/foobar: 327680 extents found
fiemap took 399 milliseconds (metadata cached)
After this patch:
(...)
/mnt/sdi/foobar: 327680 extents found
fiemap took 591 milliseconds (metadata not cached)
/mnt/sdi/foobar: 327680 extents found
fiemap took 123 milliseconds (metadata cached)
That's a speedup of 3.1x and 3.2x.
