3e49363be6 btrfs: send: cache utimes operations for directories if possible
Whenever we add or remove an entry to a directory, we issue an utimes
command for the directory. If we add 1000 entries to a directory (create
1000 files under it or move 1000 files to it), then we issue the same
utimes command 1000 times, which increases the send stream size, results
in more pipe IO, one search in the send b+tree, allocating one path for
the search, etc, as well as making the receiver do a system call for each
duplicated utimes command.

We also issue an utimes command when we create a new directory, but later
we might add entries to it corresponding to inodes with an higher inode
number, so it's pointless to issue the utimes command before we create
the last inode under the directory.

So use a lru cache to track directories for which we must send a utimes
command. When we need to remove an entry from the cache, we issue the
utimes command for the respective directory. When finishing the send
operation, we go over each cache element and issue the respective utimes
command. Finally the caching is entirely optional, just a performance
optimization, meaning that if we fail to cache (due to memory allocation
failure), we issue the utimes command right away, that is, we fallback
to the previous, unoptimized, behaviour.

   #!/bin/bash

   MNT=/mnt/sdi
   DEV=/dev/sdi

   mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV > /dev/null
   mount $DEV $MNT

   mkdir $MNT/A
   for ((i = 1; i <= 20000; i++)); do
       echo -n > $MNT/A/file_$i
   done

   btrfs subvolume snapshot -r $MNT $MNT/snap1

   mkdir $MNT/B
   for ((i = 20000; i <= 40000; i++)); do
       echo -n > $MNT/B/file_$i
   done

   mv $MNT/A/file_* $MNT/B/

   btrfs subvolume snapshot -r $MNT $MNT/snap2

   start=$(date +%s%N)
   btrfs send -p $MNT/snap1 $MNT/snap2 > /dev/null
   end=$(date +%s%N)

   dur=$(( (end - start) / 1000000 ))
   echo "Incremental send took $dur milliseconds"

   umount $MNT

d588adae3b btrfs: add an api to delete a specific entry from the lru cache
In order to replace the open coded name cache in send with the lru cache,
we need an API for the lru cache to delete a specific entry for which we
did a previous lookup. This adds the API for it, and a next patch in the
series will use it.

patch in the series contains a sample performance test and results.
The patches that comprise the patchset are the following:

0da0c5605e btrfs: allow a generation number to be associated with lru cache entries
This allows an optional generation number to be associated to each entry
of the lru cache. Entries with the same key but different generations, are
stored in the linked list to which the maple tree points to. This is meant
to be used when there's a small number of different generations, so the
impact of searching a linked list is negligible. The goal is to get rid of
the open coded name cache in the send code (which uses a radix tree and
a similar linked list of values/entries) and use instead the lru cache
module. For that particular use case we have at most 2 generations that
are associated to each key (inode number): one generation for the send
root and another generation for the parent root. The actual migration of
the send name cache is done in the next patch in the series.

This patch is part of a larger patchset and the changelog of the last

6273ee621f btrfs: adapt lru cache to allow for 64 bits keys on 32 bits systems
The lru cache is backed by a maple tree, which uses the unsigned long
type for keys, and that type has a width of 32 bits on 32 bits systems
and a width of 64 bits on 64 bits systems.

Currently there is only one user of the lru cache, the send backref cache,
which uses a sector number as a key, a logical address right shifted by
fs_info->sectorsize_bits, so a 32 bits width is not yet a problem (the
same happens with the radix tree we use to track extent buffers,
fs_info->buffer_radix).

However the next patches in the series will start using the lru cache for
cases where inode numbers are the keys, and the inode numbers are always
64 bits, even if we are running on a 32 bits system.

So adapt the lru cache to allow multiple values under the same key, by
having the maple tree store a head entry that points to a list of entries
instead of pointing to a single entry. This is a similar approach to what
we currently do for the name cache in send (which uses a radix tree that
has indexes with an unsigned long type as well), and will allow later to
use the lru cache for the send name cache as well.

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.

  btrfs: send: directly return from did_overwrite_ref() and simplify it

90b90d4ac0 btrfs: send: genericize the backref cache to allow it to be reused
The backref cache is a cache backed by a maple tree and a linked list to
keep track of temporal access to cached entries (the LRU entry always at
the head of the list). This type of caching method is going to be useful
in other scenarios, so make the cache implementation more generic and
move it into its own header and source files.
