btrfs: replace btrfs_io_context::raid_map with a fixed u64 value
In btrfs_io_context structure, we have a pointer raid_map, which indicates the logical bytenr for each stripe. But considering we always call sort_parity_stripes(), the result raid_map[] is always sorted, thus raid_map[0] is always the logical bytenr of the full stripe. So why we waste the space and time (for sorting) for raid_map? This patch will replace btrfs_io_context::raid_map with a single u64 number, full_stripe_start, by: - Replace btrfs_io_context::raid_map with full_stripe_start - Replace call sites using raid_map[0] to use full_stripe_start - Replace call sites using raid_map[i] to compare with nr_data_stripes. The benefits are: - Less memory wasted on raid_map It's sizeof(u64) * num_stripes vs sizeof(u64). It'll always save at least one u64, and the benefit grows larger with num_stripes. - No more weird alloc_btrfs_io_context() behavior As there is only one fixed size + one variable length array.
