Qu Wenruo 966d879baf btrfs: defrag: allow defrag_one_cluster() to skip large extent which is not a target
In the rework of btrfs_defrag_file(), we always call
defrag_one_cluster() and increase the offset by cluster size, which is
only 256K.

But there are cases where we have a large extent (e.g. 128M) which
doesn't need to be defragged at all.

Before the refactor, we can directly skip the range, but now we have to
scan that extent map again and again until the cluster moves after the
non-target extent.

Fix the problem by allow defrag_one_cluster() to increase
btrfs_defrag_ctrl::last_scanned to the end of an extent, if and only if
the last extent of the cluster is not a target.

The test script looks like this:

	mkfs.btrfs -f $dev > /dev/null

	mount $dev $mnt

	# As btrfs ioctl uses 32M as extent_threshold
	xfs_io -f -c "pwrite 0 64M" $mnt/file1
	sync
	# Some fragemented range to defrag
	xfs_io -s -c "pwrite 65548k 4k" \
		  -c "pwrite 65544k 4k" \
		  -c "pwrite 65540k 4k" \
		  -c "pwrite 65536k 4k" \
		  $mnt/file1
	sync

	echo "=== before ==="
	xfs_io -c "fiemap -v" $mnt/file1
	echo "=== after ==="
	btrfs fi defrag $mnt/file1
	sync
	xfs_io -c "fiemap -v" $mnt/file1
	umount $mnt

With extra ftrace put into defrag_one_cluster(), before the patch it
would result tons of loops:

(As defrag_one_cluster() is inlined, the function name is its caller)

  btrfs-126062  [005] .....  4682.816026: btrfs_defrag_file: r/i=5/257 start=0 len=262144
  btrfs-126062  [005] .....  4682.816027: btrfs_defrag_file: r/i=5/257 start=262144 len=262144
  btrfs-126062  [005] .....  4682.816028: btrfs_defrag_file: r/i=5/257 start=524288 len=262144
  btrfs-126062  [005] .....  4682.816028: btrfs_defrag_file: r/i=5/257 start=786432 len=262144
  btrfs-126062  [005] .....  4682.816028: btrfs_defrag_file: r/i=5/257 start=1048576 len=262144
  ...
  btrfs-126062  [005] .....  4682.816043: btrfs_defrag_file: r/i=5/257 start=67108864 len=262144

But with this patch there will be just one loop, then directly to the
end of the extent:

  btrfs-130471  [014] .....  5434.029558: defrag_one_cluster: r/i=5/257 start=0 len=262144
  btrfs-130471  [014] .....  5434.029559: defrag_one_cluster: r/i=5/257 start=67108864 len=16384

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
