    btrfs: send: use the lru cache to implement the name cache · c48545de
    Filipe Manana 提交于
    The name cache in send is basically a lru cache implemented with a radix
    tree and linked lists, very similar to the lru cache module which is used
    for the send backref cache and the cache of previously created directories
    during a send operation. So remove all the custom caching code for the
    name cache and make it use the lru cache instead.
    
    One particular detail to note is that the current cache behaves a bit
    differently when it comes to eviction of entries. Namely when after
    inserting a new name in the cache, if the cache now has 256 entries, we
    evict the last 128 LRU entries. The lru_cache.{c,h} module behaves a bit
    differently in that once we reach the cache limit, we evict a single LRU
    entry. In practice this doesn't make much difference, but it's actually
    better to evict just one entry instead of half of the entries, as there's
    always a chance we will need a name stored in one of that last 128 removed
    entries.
    
    This patch is part of a larger patchset and the changelog of the last
    patch in the series contains a sample performance test and results.
    The patches that comprise the patchset are the following:
    
      btrfs: send: directly return from did_overwrite_ref() and simplify it
      btrfs: send: avoid unnecessary generation search at did_overwrite_ref()
      btrfs: send: directly return from will_overwrite_ref() and simplify it
      btrfs: send: avoid extra b+tree searches when checking reference overrides
      btrfs: send: remove send_progress argument from can_rmdir()
      btrfs: send: avoid duplicated orphan dir allocation and initialization
      btrfs: send: avoid unnecessary orphan dir rbtree search at can_rmdir()
      btrfs: send: reduce searches on parent root when checking if dir can be removed
      btrfs: send: iterate waiting dir move rbtree only once when processing refs
      btrfs: send: initialize all the red black trees earlier
      btrfs: send: genericize the backref cache to allow it to be reused
      btrfs: adapt lru cache to allow for 64 bits keys on 32 bits systems
      btrfs: send: cache information about created directories
      btrfs: allow a generation number to be associated with lru cache entries
      btrfs: add an api to delete a specific entry from the lru cache
      btrfs: send: use the lru cache to implement the name cache
      btrfs: send: update size of roots array for backref cache entries
      btrfs: send: cache utimes operations for directories if possible
