Re: [PATCH v2 4/4] btrfs: replace btrfs_io_context::raid_map[] with a fixed u64 value

Hi Qu,

On Tue, 7 Feb 2023, Qu Wenruo wrote:
In btrfs_io_context structure, we have a pointer raid_map, which is to
indicate the logical bytenr for each stripe.

But considering we always call sort_parity_stripes(), the result
raid_map[] is always sorted, thus raid_map[0] is always the logical
bytenr of the full stripe.

So why we waste the space and time (for sorting) for raid_map[]?

This patch will replace btrfs_io_context::raid_map with a single u64
number, full_stripe_start, by:

- Replace btrfs_io_context::raid_map with full_stripe_start

- Replace call sites using raid_map[0] to use full_stripe_start

- Replace call sites using raid_map[i] to compare with nr_data_stripes.

The benefits are:

- Less memory wasted on raid_map
It's sizeof(u64) * num_stripes vs size(u64).
It's always a save for at least one u64, and the benefit grows larger
with num_stripes.

- No more weird alloc_btrfs_io_context() behavior
As there is only one fixed size + one variable length array.

Thanks for your patch, which is now commit 4a8c6e8a6dc8ae4c ("btrfs:
replace btrfs_io_context::raid_map with a fixed u64 value") in
