During fiemap and lseek (SEEK_HOLE/DATA), when looking for delalloc in a range corresponding to a hole or a prealloc extent, if we found the whole range marked as delalloc in the inode's io_tree, then we can terminate immediately and avoid searching the extent map tree. If not, and if the found delalloc starts at the same offset of our search start but ends before our search range's end, then we can adjust the search range for the search in the extent map tree. So implement those changes. This change is part of a patchset that has the goal to make performance better for applications that use lseek's SEEK_HOLE and SEEK_DATA modes to iterate over the extents of a file. Two examples are the cp program from coreutils 9.0+ and the tar program (when using its --sparse / -S option). A sample test and results are listed in the changelog of the last patch in the series: 1/9 btrfs: remove leftover setting of EXTENT_UPTODATE state in an inode's io_tree 2/9 btrfs: add an early exit when searching for delalloc range for lseek/fiemap 3/9 btrfs: skip unnecessary delalloc searches during lseek/fiemap 4/9 btrfs: search for delalloc more efficiently during lseek/fiemap 5/9 btrfs: remove no longer used btrfs_next_extent_map() 6/9 btrfs: allow passing a cached state record to count_range_bits() 7/9 btrfs: update stale comment for count_range_bits() 8/9 btrfs: use cached state when looking for delalloc ranges with fiemap 9/9 btrfs: use cached state when looking for delalloc ranges with lseek Reported-by: Wang Yugui <wangyugui@e16-tech.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/20221106073028.71F9.409509F4@e16-tech.com/ Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/CAL3q7H5NSVicm7nYBJ7x8fFkDpno8z3PYt5aPU43Bajc1H0h1Q@mail.gmail.com/ Signed-off-by: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
