    Btrfs: load the key from the dir item in readdir into a fake dentry · b4aff1f8

    In btrfs we have 2 indexes for inodes.  One is for readdir, it's in this nice
    sequential order and works out brilliantly for readdir.  However if you use ls,
    it usually stat's each file it gets from readdir.  This is where the second
    index comes in, which is based on a hash of the name of the file.  So then the
    lookup has to lookup this index, and then lookup the inode.  The index lookup is
    going to be in random order (since its based on the name hash), which gives us
    less than stellar performance.  Since we know the inode location from the
    readdir index, I create a dummy dentry and copy the location key into
    dentry->d_fsdata.  Then on lookup if we have d_fsdata we use that location to
    lookup the inode, avoiding looking up the other directory index.  Thanks,
