    btrfs: send: initialize all the red black trees earlier · d307d2f3
    Filipe Manana authored
    After we allocate the send context object and before we initialize all
    the red black trees, we can jump to the 'out' label if some errors happen,
    and then under the 'out' label we use RB_EMPTY_ROOT() against some of the
    those trees, which we have not yet initialized. This happens to work out
    ok because the send context object was initialized to zeroes with kzalloc
    and the RB_ROOT initializer just happens to have the following definition:
    
        #define RB_ROOT (struct rb_root) { NULL, }
    
    But it's really neither clean nor a good practice as RB_ROOT is supposed
    to be opaque and in case it changes or we change those red black trees to
    some other data structure, it leaves us in a precarious situation.
    
    So initialize all the red black trees immediately after allocating the
    send context and before any jump into the 'out' label.
    
    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.
    The patches that comprise the patchset are the following:
    
      btrfs: send: directly return from did_overwrite_ref() and simplify it
      btrfs: send: avoid unnecessary generation search at did_overwrite_ref()
      btrfs: send: directly return from will_overwrite_ref() and simplify it
      btrfs: send: avoid extra b+tree searches when checking reference overrides
      btrfs: send: remove send_progress argument from can_rmdir()
      btrfs: send: avoid duplicated orphan dir allocation and initialization
      btrfs: send: avoid unnecessary orphan dir rbtree search at can_rmdir()
      btrfs: send: reduce searches on parent root when checking if dir can be removed
      btrfs: send: iterate waiting dir move rbtree only once when processing refs
      btrfs: send: initialize all the red black trees earlier
      btrfs: send: genericize the backref cache to allow it to be reused
      btrfs: adapt lru cache to allow for 64 bits keys on 32 bits systems
      btrfs: send: cache information about created directories
      btrfs: allow a generation number to be associated with lru cache entries
      btrfs: add an api to delete a specific entry from the lru cache
      btrfs: send: use the lru cache to implement the name cache
      btrfs: send: update size of roots array for backref cache entries
      btrfs: send: cache utimes operations for directories if possible
