Btrfs: introduce qgroup_ulist to avoid frequently allocating/freeing ulist
When doing qgroup accounting, we call ulist_alloc()/ulist_free() every time when we want to walk qgroup tree. By introducing 'qgroup_ulist', we only need to call ulist_alloc()/ulist_free() once. This reduce some sys time to allocate memory, see the measurements below fsstress -p 4 -n 10000 -d $dir With this patch: real 0m50.153s user 0m0.081s sys 0m6.294s real 0m51.113s user 0m0.092s sys 0m6.220s real 0m52.610s user 0m0.096s sys 0m6.125s avg 6.213 ----------------------------------------------------- Without the patch: real 0m54.825s user 0m0.061s sys 0m10.665s real 1m6.401s user 0m0.089s sys 0m11.218s real 1m13.768s user 0m0.087s sys 0m10.665s avg 10.849 we can see the sys time reduce ~43%.
