Btrfs: fdatasync should skip metadata writeout
In btrfs, fdatasync and fsync are identical, but fdatasync should skip committing transaction when inode->i_state is set just I_DIRTY_SYNC and this indicates only atime or/and mtime updates. Following patch improves fdatasync throughput. --file-block-size=4K --file-total-size=16G --file-test-mode=rndwr --file-fsync-mode=fdatasync run Results: -2.6.30-rc8 Test execution summary: total time: 1980.6540s total number of events: 10001 total time taken by event execution: 1192.9804 per-request statistics: min: 0.0000s avg: 0.1193s max: 15.3720s approx. 95 percentile: 0.7257s Threads fairness: events (avg/stddev): 625.0625/151.32 execution time (avg/stddev): 74.5613/9.46 -2.6.30-rc8-patched Test execution summary: total time: 1695.9118s total number of events: 10000 total time taken by event execution: 871.3214 per-request statistics: min: 0.0000s avg: 0.0871s max: 10.4644s approx. 95 percentile: 0.4787s Threads fairness: events (avg/stddev): 625.0000/131.86 execution time (avg/stddev): 54.4576/8.98 Signed-off-by: Hisashi Hifumi <hifumi.hisashi@oss.ntt.co.jp> Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
