When we want to log an extent, in the fast fsync path, we obtain a path
to the leaf that will hold the file extent item either through a deletion
search, via btrfs_drop_extents(), or through an insertion search using
btrfs_insert_empty_item(). After that we fill the file extent item's
fields one by one directly on the leaf.
Instead of doing that, we could prepare the file extent item before
obtaining a btree path, and then copy the prepared extent item with a
single operation once we get the path. This helps avoid some contention
on the log tree, since we are holding write locks for longer than
necessary, especially in the case where the path is obtained via
btrfs_drop_extents() through a deletion search, which always keeps a
write lock on the nodes at levels 1 and 2 (besides the leaf).
This change does that, we prepare the file extent item that is going to
be inserted before acquiring a path, and then copy it into a leaf using
a single copy operation once we get a path.
This change if part of a patchset that is comprised of the following
patches:
1/6 btrfs: remove unnecessary leaf free space checks when pushing items
2/6 btrfs: avoid unnecessary COW of leaves when deleting items from a leaf
3/6 btrfs: avoid unnecessary computation when deleting items from a leaf
4/6 btrfs: remove constraint on number of visited leaves when replacing extents
5/6 btrfs: remove useless path release in the fast fsync path
6/6 btrfs: prepare extents to be logged before locking a log tree path
The following test was run to measure the impact of the whole patchset:
$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/bash
DEV=/dev/sdi
MNT=/mnt/sdi
MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o ssd"
MKFS_OPTIONS="-R free-space-tree -O no-holes"

The test ran inside a VM (8 cores, 32G of RAM) with the target disk
mapping to a raw NVMe device, and using a non-debug kernel config
(Debian's default config).
Before the patchset:
WRITE: bw=116MiB/s (122MB/s), 116MiB/s-116MiB/s (122MB/s-122MB/s), io=22.7GiB (24.4GB), run=200013-200013msec
After the patchset:
WRITE: bw=125MiB/s (131MB/s), 125MiB/s-125MiB/s (131MB/s-131MB/s), io=24.3GiB (26.1GB), run=200007-200007msec
A 7.8% gain on throughput and +7.0% more IO done in the same period of
time (200 seconds).

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.
