btrfs: skip logging directories already logged when logging all parents
Some times when we fsync an inode we need to do a full log of all its ancestors (due to unlink, link or rename operations), which can be an expensive operation, specially if the directories are large. However if we find an ancestor directory inode that is already logged in the current transaction, and has no inserted/updated/deleted xattrs since it was last logged, we can skip logging the directory again. We are safe to skip that since we know that for logged directories, any link, unlink or rename operations that implicate the directory will update the log as necessary. So use the helper need_log_dir(), introduced in a previous commit, to detect already logged directories that can be skipped. This patch is part of a patchset comprised of the following patches: btrfs: remove unnecessary directory inode item update when deleting dir entry btrfs: stop setting nbytes when filling inode item for logging btrfs: avoid logging new ancestor inodes when logging new inode btrfs: skip logging directories already logged when logging all parents btrfs: skip logging inodes already logged when logging new entries btrfs: remove unnecessary check_parent_dirs_for_sync() btrfs: make concurrent fsyncs wait less when waiting for a transaction commit Performance results, after applying all patches, are mentioned in the change log of the last patch.
