Subject: [PATCH v2 0/7] btrfs: allocator perf improvements
Date: Thu, 22 Oct 2026 10:06:58 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1792688736.git.boris@bur.io> (raw)
Working on the bugs to do with large fs-es and unused block groups
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/20260916230447.GA1706558@zen.localdomain/T/#t
and
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/cover.1790641111.git.boris@bur.io/T/#t
revealed some low hanging fruit in allocation performance for very large
mostly full fs-es. The gist is to try to skip unnecessary operations per block
group which adds up with 10s of thousands of obviously skippable block
groups. Running 20k fallocates in a loop on a sparse file fs improved from
~40s to ~7s.
Changelog:
v2:
- removed data_rwsem and delalloc_bytes from block_group and find_free_extent()
Boris Burkov (7):
btrfs: skip unhelpful size class relaxing allocation loops
btrfs: don't take block group references in find_free_extent()
btrfs: remove redundant checks in find_free_extent() hint path
btrfs: factor the find_free_extent() block group skip into a helper
btrfs: find_free_extent checks full block groups unlocked
btrfs: find_free_extent checks size class unlocked
btrfs: remove block_group data_rwsem and delalloc_bytes
