From 6e8e777deb5cbff76bcd34b1f45bc747f48e8abe Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Filipe Manana Date: Tue, 27 Jul 2021 11:24:44 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: eliminate some false positives when checking if inode was logged When checking if an inode was previously logged in the current transaction through the helper inode_logged(), we can return some false positives that can be easily eliminated. These correspond to the cases where an inode has a ->logged_trans value that is not zero and its value is smaller then the ID of the current transaction. This means we know exactly that the inode was never logged before in the current transaction, so we can return false and avoid the callers to do extra work: 1) Having btrfs_del_dir_entries_in_log() and btrfs_del_inode_ref_in_log() unnecessarily join a log transaction and do deletion searches in a log tree that will not find anything. This just adds unnecessary contention on extent buffer locks; 2) Having btrfs_log_new_name() unnecessarily log an inode when it is not needed. If the inode was not logged before, we don't need to log it in LOG_INODE_EXISTS mode. So just make sure that any false positive only happens when ->logged_trans has a value of 0.
