btrfs: send: use the lru cache to implement the name cache
The name cache in send is basically a lru cache implemented with a radix tree and linked lists, very similar to the lru cache module which is used for the send backref cache and the cache of previously created directories during a send operation. So remove all the custom caching code for the name cache and make it use the lru cache instead. One particular detail to note is that the current cache behaves a bit differently when it comes to eviction of entries. Namely when after inserting a new name in the cache, if the cache now has 256 entries, we evict the last 128 LRU entries. The lru_cache.{c,h} module behaves a bit differently in that once we reach the cache limit, we evict a single LRU entry. In practice this doesn't make much difference, but it's actually better to evict just one entry instead of half of the entries, as there's always a chance we will need a name stored in one of that last 128 removed entries. 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 Signed-off-by: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com> Reviewed-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
