Btrfs: faster file extent item replace operations
When writing to a file we drop existing file extent items that cover the write range and then add a new file extent item that represents that write range. Before this change we were doing a tree lookup to remove the file extent items, and then after we did another tree lookup to insert the new file extent item. Most of the time all the file extent items we need to drop are located within a single leaf - this is the leaf where our new file extent item ends up at. Therefore, in this common case just combine these 2 operations into a single one. By avoiding the second btree navigation for insertion of the new file extent item, we reduce btree node/leaf lock acquisitions/releases, btree block/leaf COW operations, CPU time on btree node/leaf key binary searches, etc. Besides for file writes, this is an operation that happens for file fsync's as well. However log btrees are much less likely to big as big as regular fs btrees, therefore the impact of this change is smaller. The following benchmark was performed against an SSD drive and a HDD drive, both for random and sequential writes: sysbench --test=fileio --file-num=4096 --file-total-size=8G \ --file-test-mode=[rndwr|seqwr] --num-threads=512 \ --file-block-size=8192 \ --max-requests=1000000 \ --file-fsync-freq=0 --file-io-mode=sync [prepare|run] All results below are averages of 10 runs of the respective test. ** SSD sequential writes Before this change: 225.88 Mb/sec After this change: 277.26 Mb/sec ** SSD random writes Before this change: 49.91 Mb/sec After this change: 56.39 Mb/sec ** HDD sequential writes Before this change: 68.53 Mb/sec After this change: 69.87 Mb/sec ** HDD random writes Before this change: 13.04 Mb/sec After this change: 14.39 Mb/sec Signed-off-by: Filipe David Borba Manana <fdmanana@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <jbacik@fb.com> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <clm@fb.com>
