When over 1000 file extents refers to one extent, find_parent_nodes()
will be obviously slow, due to the O(n^2)~O(n^3) loops inside
__merge_refs().
The following ftrace shows the cubic growth of execution time:
256 refs
5) + 91.768 us | __add_keyed_refs.isra.12 [btrfs]();
5) 1.447 us | __add_missing_keys.isra.13 [btrfs]();
5) ! 114.544 us | __merge_refs [btrfs]();
5) ! 136.399 us | __merge_refs [btrfs]();
512 refs
6) ! 279.859 us | __add_keyed_refs.isra.12 [btrfs]();
6) 3.164 us | __add_missing_keys.isra.13 [btrfs]();
6) ! 442.498 us | __merge_refs [btrfs]();
6) # 2091.073 us | __merge_refs [btrfs]();
and 1024 refs
7) ! 368.683 us | __add_keyed_refs.isra.12 [btrfs]();
7) 4.810 us | __add_missing_keys.isra.13 [btrfs]();
7) # 2043.428 us | __merge_refs [btrfs]();
7) * 18964.23 us | __merge_refs [btrfs]();
And sort them into the following char:
(Unit: us)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trace function | 256 ref | 512 refs | 1024 refs |
------------------------------------------------------------------------
__add_keyed_refs | 91 | 249 | 368 |
__add_missing_keys | 1 | 3 | 4 |
__merge_refs 1st call | 114 | 442 | 2043 |
__merge_refs 2nd call | 136 | 2091 | 18964 |
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We can see the that __add_keyed_refs() grows almost in linear behavior.
And __add_missing_keys() in this case doesn't change much or takes much
time.
While for the 1st __merge_refs() it's square growth
for the 2nd __merge_refs() call it's cubic growth.
It's no doubt that merge_refs() will take a long long time to execute if
the number of refs continues its grows.
So add a cond_resced() into the loop of __merge_refs().
Although this will solve the problem of soft lockup, we need to use the
new rb_tree based structure introduced by Lu Fengqi to really solve the
long execution time.
