[PATCH 5/5] btrfs: keep track of the last logged keys when logging a directory

[fdmanana@kernel.org]

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>

After the first time we log a directory in the current transaction, for
each directory item in a changed leaf of the subvolume tree, we have to
check if we previously logged the item, in order to overwrite it in case
its data changed or skip it in case its data hasn't changed.

Checking if we have logged each item before not only wastes times, but it
also adds lock contention on the log tree. So in order to minimize the
number of times we do such checks, keep track of the offset of the last
key we logged for a directory and, on the next time we log the directory,
skip the checks for any new keys that have an offset greater than the
offset we have previously saved. This is specially effective for index
keys, because the offset for these keys comes from a monotonically
increasing counter.

This patch is part of a patchset comprised of the following 5 patches:

  btrfs: remove root argument from btrfs_log_inode() and its callees
  btrfs: remove redundant log root assignment from log_dir_items()
  btrfs: factor out the copying loop of dir items from log_dir_items()
  btrfs: insert items in batches when logging a directory when possible
  btrfs: keep track of the last logged keys when logging a directory

This is patch 5/5.

The following test was used on a non-debug kernel to measure the impact
it has on a directory fsync:

  $ cat test-dir-fsync.sh
  #!/bin/bash

  DEV=/dev/nvme0n1
  MNT=/mnt/nvme0n1

  NUM_NEW_FILES=100000
  NUM_FILE_DELETES=1000

  mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV
  mount -o ssd $DEV $MNT

  mkdir $MNT/testdir

  for ((i = 1; i <= $NUM_NEW_FILES; i++)); do
      echo -n > $MNT/testdir/file_$i
  done

  # fsync the directory, this will log the new dir items and the inodes
  # they point to, because these are new inodes.
  start=$(date +%s%N)
  xfs_io -c "fsync" $MNT/testdir
  end=$(date +%s%N)

  dur=$(( (end - start) / 1000000 ))
  echo "dir fsync took $dur ms after adding $NUM_NEW_FILES files"

  # sync to force transaction commit and wipeout the log.
  sync

  del_inc=$(( $NUM_NEW_FILES / $NUM_FILE_DELETES ))
  for ((i = 1; i <= $NUM_NEW_FILES; i += $del_inc)); do
      rm -f $MNT/testdir/file_$i
  done

  # fsync the directory, this will only log dir items, there are no
  # dentries pointing to new inodes.
  start=$(date +%s%N)
  xfs_io -c "fsync" $MNT/testdir
  end=$(date +%s%N)

  dur=$(( (end - start) / 1000000 ))
  echo "dir fsync took $dur ms after deleting $NUM_FILE_DELETES files"

  umount $MNT

Test results with NUM_NEW_FILES set to 100 000 and 1 000 000:

**** before patchset, 100 000 files, 1000 deletes ****

dir fsync took 848 ms after adding 100000 files
dir fsync took 175 ms after deleting 1000 files

**** after patchset, 100 000 files, 1000 deletes ****

dir fsync took 758 ms after adding 100000 files  (-11.2%)
dir fsync took 63 ms after deleting 1000 files   (-94.1%)

**** before patchset, 1 000 000 files, 1000 deletes ****

dir fsync took 9945 ms after adding 1000000 files
dir fsync took 473 ms after deleting 1000 files

**** after patchset, 1 000 000 files, 1000 deletes ****

dir fsync took 8677 ms after adding 1000000 files (-13.6%)
dir fsync took 146 ms after deleting 1000 files   (-105.6%)
