    xfs: rewrite and optimize the delalloc write path · 51446f5b
    Christoph Hellwig 提交于
    Currently xfs_iomap_write_delay does up to lookups in the inode
    extent tree, which is rather costly especially with the new iomap
    based write path and small write sizes.
    
    But it turns out that the low-level xfs_bmap_search_extents gives us
    all the information we need in the regular delalloc buffered write
    path:
    
     - it will return us an extent covering the block we are looking up
       if it exists.  In that case we can simply return that extent to
       the caller and are done
     - it will tell us if we are beyoned the last current allocated
       block with an eof return parameter.  In that case we can create a
       delalloc reservation and use the also returned information about
       the last extent in the file as the hint to size our delalloc
       reservation.
     - it can tell us that we are writing into a hole, but that there is
       an extent beyoned this hole.  In this case we can create a
       delalloc reservation that covers the requested size (possible
       capped to the next existing allocation).
    
    All that can be done in one single routine instead of bouncing up
    and down a few layers.  This reduced the CPU overhead of the block
    mapping routines and also simplified the code a lot.
