When logging the extents of an inode during a fast fsync, we have a time window where we can log extents that are from the previous transaction and already persisted. This only makes us waste time unnecessarily. The following sequence of steps shows how this can happen: 1) We are at transaction 1000; 2) An ordered extent E from inode I completes, that is it has gone through btrfs_finish_ordered_io(), and it set the extent maps' generation to 1000 when we unpin the extent, which is the generation of the current transaction; 3) The commit for transaction 1000 starts by task A; 4) The task committing transaction 1000 sets the transaction state to unblocked, writes the dirty extent buffers and the super blocks, then unlocks tree_log_mutex; 5) Some change is made to inode I, resulting in creation of a new transaction with a generation of 1001; 6) The transaction 1000 commit starts unpinning extents. At this point fs_info->last_trans_committed still has a value of 999; 7) Task B starts an fsync on inode I, and when it gets to btrfs_log_changed_extents() sees the extent map for extent E in the list of modified extents. It sees the extent map has a generation of 1000 and fs_info->last_trans_committed has a value of 999, so it proceeds to logging the respective file extent item and all the checksums covering its range. So we end up wasting time since the extent was already persisted and is reachable through the trees pointed to by the super block committed by transaction 1000. So just fix this by comparing the extent maps generation against the generation of the transaction handle - if it is smaller then the id in the handle, we know the extent was already persisted and we do not need to log it. This patch belongs to a patch set that is comprised of the following patches: btrfs: fix race causing unnecessary inode logging during link and rename btrfs: fix race that results in logging old extents during a fast fsync btrfs: fix race that causes unnecessary logging of ancestor inodes btrfs: fix race that makes inode logging fallback to transaction commit btrfs: fix race leading to unnecessary transaction commit when logging inode btrfs: do not block inode logging for so long during transaction commit Performance results are mentioned in the change log of the last patch.
