H A Ddelayed-inode.c506650dc Tue Jul 20 10:05:22 CDT 2021 Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com> btrfs: improve the batch insertion of delayed items

When we insert the delayed items of an inode, which corresponds to the
directory index keys for a directory (key type BTRFS_DIR_INDEX_KEY), we
do the following:

1) Pick the first delayed item from the rbtree and insert it into the
fs/subvolume btree, using btrfs_insert_empty_item() for that;

2) Without releasing the path returned by btrfs_insert_empty_item(),
keep collecting as many consecutive delayed items from the rbtree
as possible, as long as each one's BTRFS_DIR_INDEX_KEY key is the
immediate successor of the previously picked item and as long as
they fit in the available space of the leaf the path points to;

3) Then insert all the collected items into the leaf;

4) Release the reserve metadata space for each collected item and
release each item (implies deleting from the rbtree);

5) Unlock the path.

While this is much better than inserting items one by one, it can be
improved in a few aspects:

1) Instead of adding items based on the remaining free space of the
leaf, collect as many items that can fit in a leaf and bulk insert
them. This results in less and larger batches, reducing the total
amount of time to insert the delayed items. For example when adding
100K files to a directory, we ended up creating 1658 batches with
very variable sizes ranging from 1 item to 118 items, on a filesystem
with a node/leaf size of 16K. After this change, we end up with 839
batches, with the vast majority of them having exactly 120 items;

2) We do the search for more items to batch, by iterating the rbtree,
while holding a write lock on the leaf;

3) While still holding the leaf locked, we are releasing the reserved
metadata for each item and then deleting each item, keeping a write
lock on the leaf for longer than necessary. Releasing the delayed items
one by one can take a significant amount of time, because deleting
them from the rbtree can often be a bit slow when the deletion results
in rebalancing the rbtree.

So change this so that we try to create larger batches, with a total
item size up to the maximum a leaf can support, and by unlocking the leaf
immediately after inserting the items, releasing the reserved metadata
space of each item and releasing each item without holding the write lock
on the leaf.

The following script that runs fs_mark was used to test this change:

$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/bash

DEV=/dev/nvme0n1
MNT=/mnt/nvme0n1
MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o ssd"
MKFS_OPTIONS="-m single -d single"
FILES=1000000
THREADS=16
FILE_SIZE=0

echo "performance" | tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor

umount $DEV &> /dev/null
mkfs.btrfs -f $MKFS_OPTIONS $DEV
mount $MOUNT_OPTIONS $DEV $MNT

OPTS="-S 0 -L 5 -n $FILES -s $FILE_SIZE -t 16"
for ((i = 1; i <= $THREADS; i++)); do
OPTS="$OPTS -d $MNT/d$i"
done

fs_mark $OPTS

umount $MNT

It was run on machine with 12 cores, 64G of ram, using a NVMe device and
using a non-debug kernel config (Debian's default config).
