When we truncate a file to the same size and that size is not aligned
with the sector size, we end up triggering writeback (and wait for it to
complete) of the last page. This is unncessary as we can not have delayed
allocation beyond the inode's i_size and the goal of truncating a file
to its own size is to discard prealloc extents (allocated via the
fallocate(2) system call). Besides the unnecessary IO start and wait, it
also breaks the oppurtunity for larger contiguous extents on disk, as
before the last dirty page there might be other dirty pages.
This scenario is probably not very common in general, however it is
common for btrfs receive implementations because currently the send
stream always issues a truncate operation for each processed inode as
the last operation for that inode (this truncate operation is not
always needed and the send implementation will be addressed to avoid
them).
So improve this by not starting and waiting for writeback of the inode's
last page when we are truncating to exactly the same size.
The following script was used to quickly measure the time a receive
operation takes:
$ cat test_send.sh
#!/bin/bash
SRC_DEV=/dev/sdc
DST_DEV=/dev/sdd
SRC_MNT=/mnt/sdc
DST_MNT=/mnt/sdd
mkfs.btrfs -f $SRC_DEV >/dev/null
mkfs.btrfs -f $DST_DEV >/dev/null
mount $SRC_DEV $SRC_MNT
mount $DST_DEV $DST_MNT
echo "Creating source filesystem"
for ((t = 0; t < 10; t++)); do
(
for ((i = 1; i <= 20000; i++)); do
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xab 0 5000" \
$SRC_MNT/file_$i > /dev/null
done
) &
worker_pids[$t]=$!
done
wait ${worker_pids[@]}
echo "Creating and sending snapshot"
btrfs subvolume snapshot -r $SRC_MNT $SRC_MNT/snap1 >/dev/null
/usr/bin/time -f "send took %e seconds" \
btrfs send -f $SRC_MNT/send_file $SRC_MNT/snap1
/usr/bin/time -f "receive took %e seconds" \
btrfs receive -f $SRC_MNT/send_file $DST_MNT
umount $SRC_MNT
umount $DST_MNT
The results for 5 runs were the following:
* Without this change
average receive time was 26.49 seconds
standard deviation of 2.53 seconds
* With this change
average receive time was 12.51 seconds
standard deviation of 0.32 seconds

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
