btrfs: do not test for free space inode during NOCOW check against file extent
When checking if we can do a NOCOW write against a range covered by a file extent item, we do a quick a check to determine if the inode's root was snapshotted in a generation older than the generation of the file extent item or not. This is to quickly determine if the extent is likely shared and avoid the expensive check for cross references (this was added in commit 78d4295b ("btrfs: lift some btrfs_cross_ref_exist checks in nocow path"). We restrict that check to the case where the inode is not a free space inode (since commit 27a7ff55 ("btrfs: skip file_extent generation check for free_space_inode in run_delalloc_nocow")). That is because when we had the inode cache feature, inode caches were backed by a free space inode that belonged to the inode's root. However we don't have support for the inode cache feature since kernel 5.11, so we don't need this check anymore since free space inodes are now always related to free space caches, which are always associated to the root tree (which can't be snapshotted, and its last_snapshot field is always 0). So remove that condition. Signed-off-by: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
