Btrfs: add readahead for send_write
Btrfs send reads data from disk and then writes to a stream via pipe or a file via flush. Currently we're going to read each page a time, so every page results in a disk read, which is not friendly to disks, esp. HDD. Given that, the performance can be gained by adding readahead for those pages. Here is a quick test: $ btrfs subvolume create send $ xfs_io -f -c "pwrite 0 1G" send/foobar $ btrfs subvolume snap -r send ro $ time "btrfs send ro -f /dev/null" w/o w real 1m37.527s 0m9.097s user 0m0.122s 0m0.086s sys 0m53.191s 0m12.857s Signed-off-by: Liu Bo <bo.li.liu@oracle.com> Reviewed-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Josef Bacik <jbacik@fb.com>
