Currently when reserving space for deleting the csum items for a data
extent, when adding or updating a delayed ref head, we determine how
many leaves of csum items we can have and then pass that number to the
helper btrfs_calc_delayed_ref_bytes(). This helper is used for calculating
space for all tree modifications we need when running delayed references,
however the amount of space it computes is excessive for deleting csum
items because:
1) It uses btrfs_calc_insert_metadata_size() which is excessive because
we only need to delete csum items from the csum tree, we don't need
to insert any items, so btrfs_calc_metadata_size() is all we need (as
it computes space needed to delete an item);
2) If the free space tree is enabled, it doubles the amount of space,
which is pointless for csum deletion since we don't need to touch the
free space tree or any other tree other than the csum tree.
So improve on this by tracking how many csum deletions we have and using
a new helper to calculate space for csum deletions (just a wrapper around
btrfs_calc_metadata_size() with a comment). This reduces the amount of
space we need to reserve for csum deletions by a factor of 4, and it helps
reduce the number of times we have to block space reservations and have
the reclaim task enter the space flushing algorithm (flush delayed items,
flush delayed refs, etc) in order to satisfy tickets.
For example this results in a total time decrease when unlinking (or
truncating) files with many extents, as we end up having to block on space
metadata reservations less often. Example test:
$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/bash
DEV=/dev/nullb0
MNT=/mnt/test
umount $DEV &> /dev/null
mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV
# Use compression to quickly create files with a lot of extents
# (each with a size of 128K).
mount -o compress=lzo $DEV $MNT
# 100G gives at least 983040 extents with a size of 128K.
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xab -b 1M 0 120G" $MNT/foobar
# Flush all delalloc and clear all metadata from memory.
umount $MNT
mount -o compress=lzo $DEV $MNT
start=$(date +%s%N)
rm -f $MNT/foobar
end=$(date +%s%N)
dur=$(( (end - start) / 1000000 ))
echo "rm took $dur milliseconds"
umount $MNT
Before this change rm took: 7504 milliseconds
After this change rm took: 6574 milliseconds (-12.4%)
