During fiemap, whenever we find a hole or prealloc extent, we will look
for delalloc in that range, and one of the things we do for that is to
find out ranges in the inode's io_tree marked with EXTENT_DELALLOC, using
calls to count_range_bits().
Since we process file extents from left to right, if we have a file with
several holes or prealloc extents, we benefit from keeping a cached extent
state record for calls to count_range_bits(). Most of the time the last
extent state record we visited in one call to count_range_bits() matches
the first extent state record we will use in the next call to
count_range_bits(), so there's a benefit here. So use an extent state
record to cache results from count_range_bits() calls during fiemap.
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
