    xfs: speed up write operations by using non-overlapped lookups when possible · 1edf8056
    Darrick J. Wong authored
    Reverse mapping on a reflink-capable filesystem has some pretty high
    overhead when performing file operations.  This is because the rmap
    records for logically and physically adjacent extents might not be
    adjacent in the rmap index due to data block sharing.  As a result, we
    use expensive overlapped-interval btree search, which walks every record
    that overlaps with the supplied key in the hopes of finding the record.
    
    However, profiling data shows that when the index contains a record that
    is an exact match for a query key, the non-overlapped btree search
    function can find the record much faster than the overlapped version.
    Try the non-overlapped lookup first when we're trying to find the left
    neighbor rmap record for a given file mapping, which makes unwritten
    extent conversion and remap operations run faster if data block sharing
    is minimal in this part of the filesystem.
