btrfs: send: avoid unnecessary generation search at did_overwrite_ref()
At did_overwrite_ref() we always call get_inode_gen() to find out the
generation of the inode 'ow_inode'. However we don't always need to use
that generation, and in fact it's very common to not use it, so we end
up doing a b+tree search on the send root, allocating a path, etc, for
nothing. So improve on this by getting the generation only if we need
to use it.
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
