Miao pointed this out while I was working on an orphan problem that messing
with a bitfield where different ranges are protected by different locks
doesn't work out right. Turns out we've been doing this forever where we
have different parts of the bit field protected by either no lock at all or
different locks which could cause all sorts of weird problems including the
issue I was hitting. So instead make a runtime_flags thing that we use the
normal bit operations on that are all atomic so we can keep having our
no/different locking for the different flags and then make force_compress
it's own thing so it can be treated normally. Thanks,

Three callers of btrfs_free_tree_block or btrfs_alloc_tree_block passed
parameter for_cow = 1. In fact, these two functions should never mark
their tree modification operations as for_cow, because they can change
the number of blocks referenced by a tree.
Hence, we remove the extra for_cow parameter from these functions and
make them pass a zero down.

verify_parent_transid needs to lock the extent range to make
sure no IO is underway, and so it can safely clear the
uptodate bits if our checks fail.
But, a few callers are using it with spinlocks held. Most
of the time, the generation numbers are going to match, and
we don't want to switch to a blocking lock just for the error
case. This adds an atomic flag to verify_parent_transid,

It is basically a good thing if we are interruptible when waiting for
free space, but the generality in which it is implemented currently
leads to system calls being interruptible that are not documented this

Because btrfs cow's we can end up with extent buffers that are no longer

<soon later, BUG_ON() was triggered by enospc error>
The reason of this bug is:
Now, we can reserve space which is larger than the free space in the chunks if
we have enough free disk space which can be used for new chunks. By this way,
the space allocator should allocate a new chunk by force if there is no free
space in the free space cache. But there are two wrong checks which break this
operation.
One is
if (ret == -ENOSPC && num_bytes > min_alloc_size)
in btrfs_reserve_extent(), it is wrong, we should try to allocate a new chunk
even we fail to allocate free space by minimum allocable size.
The other is
if (space_info->force_alloc)
force = space_info->force_alloc;
in do_chunk_alloc(). It makes the allocator ignore CHUNK_ALLOC_FORCE If someone
sets ->force_alloc to CHUNK_ALLOC_LIMITED, and makes the enospc error happen.
Fix these two wrong checks. Especially the second one, we fix it by changing
the value of CHUNK_ALLOC_LIMITED and CHUNK_ALLOC_FORCE, and make
CHUNK_ALLOC_FORCE greater than CHUNK_ALLOC_LIMITED since CHUNK_ALLOC_FORCE has
higher priority. And if the value which is passed in by the caller is greater
than ->force_alloc, use the passed value.

Right now on-disk BTRFS_BLOCK_GROUP_* profile bits are used for

available allocation profiles in the FS. When chunk is created or read
from disk, its profile is OR'ed with the corresponding avail_alloc_bits
field. Since SINGLE is denoted by 0 in the on-disk format, currently
there is no way to tell when such chunks become avaialble. Restriper
needs that information, so add a separate bit for SINGLE profile.
This bit is going to be in-memory only, it should never be written out
to disk, so it's not a disk format change. However to avoid remappings
in future, reserve corresponding on-disk bit.

Since the clustered allocation may be taking extents from a different

block group free space before attempting to allocate space from a
cluster, even more so when we might refrain from even trying the
cluster in the current block group because, after the cluster was set
up, not enough free space remained. Furthermore, cluster creation
attempts fail fast when the block group doesn't have enough free
space, so the test was completely superfluous.
I've move the free space test past the cluster allocation attempt,
where it is more useful, and arranged for a cluster in the current
block group to be released before trying an unclustered allocation,
when we reach the LOOP_NO_EMPTY_SIZE stage, so that the free space in
the cluster stands a chance of being combined with additional free
space in the block group so as to succeed in the allocation attempt.

Running xfstests 269 with some tracing my scripts kept spitting out errors about
releasing bytes that we didn't actually have reserved. This took me down a huge
rabbit hole and it turns out the way we deal with reserved_extents is wrong,
we need to only be setting it if the reservation succeeds, otherwise the free()
method will come in and unreserve space that isn't actually reserved yet, which
can lead to other warnings and such. The math was all working out right in the
end, but it caused all sorts of other issues in addition to making my scripts
yell and scream and generally make it impossible for me to track down the
original issue I was looking for. The other problem is with our error handling
in the reservation code. There are two cases that we need to deal with
1) We raced with free. In this case free won't free anything because csum_bytes
is modified before we dro the lock in our reservation path, so free rightly
doesn't release any space because the reservation code may be depending on that
reservation. However if we fail, we need the reservation side to do the free at
that point since that space is no longer in use. So as it stands the code was
doing this fine and it worked out, except in case #2
2) We don't race with free. Nobody comes in and changes anything, and our
reservation fails. In this case we didn't reserve anything anyway and we just
need to clean up csum_bytes but not free anything. So we keep track of
csum_bytes before we drop the lock and if it hasn't changed we know we can just
decrement csum_bytes and carry on.
Because of the case where we can race with free()'s since we have to drop our
spin_lock to do the reservation, I'm going to serialize all reservations with
the i_mutex. We already get this for free in the heavy use paths, truncate and
file write all hold the i_mutex, just needed to add it to page_mkwrite and
various ioctl/balance things. With this patch my space leak scripts no longer
scream bloody murder. Thanks,

We've been hitting panics when running xfstest 13 in a loop for long periods of
time. And actually this problem has always existed so we've been hitting these
things randomly for a while. Basically what happens is we get a thread coming
into the allocator and reading the space cache off of disk and adding the
entries to the free space cache as we go. Then we get another thread that comes
in and tries to allocate from that block group. Since block_group->cached !=
BTRFS_CACHE_NO it goes ahead and tries to do the allocation. We do this because
if we're doing the old slow way of caching we don't want to hold people up and
wait for everything to finish. The problem with this is we could end up
discarding the space cache at some arbitrary point in the future, which means we
could very well end up allocating space that is either bad, or when the real
caching happens it could end up thinking the space isn't in use when it really
is and cause all sorts of other problems.
The solution is to add a new flag to indicate we are loading the free space
cache from disk, and always try to cache the block group if cache->cached !=
BTRFS_CACHE_FINISHED. That way if we are loading the space cache anybody else
who tries to allocate from the block group will have to wait until it's finished
to make sure it completes successfully. Thanks,

People have been reporting ENOSPC crashes in finish_ordered_io. This is because
we try to steal from the delalloc block rsv to satisfy a reservation to update
the inode. The problem with this is we don't explicitly save space for updating
the inode when doing delalloc. This is kind of a problem and we've gotten away
with this because way back when we just stole from the delalloc reserve without
any questions, and this worked out fine because generally speaking the leaf had
been modified either by the mtime update when we did the original write or
because we just updated the leaf when we inserted the file extent item, only on
rare occasions had the leaf not actually been modified, and that was still ok
because we'd just use a block or two out of the over-reservation that is
delalloc.
Then came the delayed inode stuff. This is amazing, except it wants a full
reservation for updating the inode since it may do it at some point down the
road after we've written the blocks and we have to recow everything again. This
worked out because the delayed inode stuff just stole from the global reserve,
that is until recently when I changed that because it caused other problems.
So here we are, we're doing everything right and being screwed for it. So take
an extra reservation for the inode at delalloc reservation time and carry it
through the life of the delalloc reservation. If we need it we can steal it in
the delayed inode stuff. If we have already stolen it try and do a normal
metadata reservation. If that fails try to steal from the delalloc reservation.
If _that_ fails we'll get a WARN_ON() so I can start thinking of a better way to
solve this and in the meantime we'll steal from the global reserve.
With this patch I ran xfstests 13 in a loop for a couple of hours and didn't see
any problems.

We all keep getting those stupid warnings from use_block_rsv when running
stress.sh, and it's because the delayed insertion stuff is being stupid. It's
not the delayed insertion stuffs fault, it's all just stupid. When marking an
inode dirty for oh say updating the time on it, we just do a
btrfs_join_transaction, which doesn't reserve any space. This is stupid because
we're going to have to have space reserve to make this change, but we do it
because it's fast because chances are we're going to call it over and over again
and it doesn't matter. Well thanks to the delayed insertion stuff this is
mostly the case, so we do actually need to make this reservation. So if
trans->bytes_reserved is 0 then try to do a normal reservation. If not return
ENOSPC which will make the btrfs_dirty_inode start a proper transaction which
will let it do the whole ENOSPC dance and reserve enough space for the delayed
insertion to steal the reservation from the transaction.
The other stupid thing we do is not reserve space for the inode when writing to
the thing. Usually this is ok since we have to update the time so we'd have
already done all this work before we get to the endio stuff, so it doesn't
matter. But this is stupid because we could write the data after the
transaction commits where we changed the mtime of the inode so we have to cow
all the way down to the inode anyway. This used to be masked by the delalloc
reservation stuff, but because we delay the update it doesn't get masked in this
case. So again the delayed insertion stuff bites us in the ass. So if our
trans->block_rsv is delalloc, just steal the reservation from the delalloc
reserve. Hopefully this won't bite us in the ass, but I've said that before.
With this patch stress.sh no longer spits out those stupid warnings (famous last
words). Thanks,

Because of the overcommit stuff I had to make it so that we committed the
transaction all the time in reserve_metadata_bytes in case we had overcommitted
because of delayed items. This was because previously we had no way of knowing
how much space was reserved for delayed items. Now that we have the
delayed_block_rsv we can check it to see if committing the transaction would get
us anywhere. This patch breaks out the committing logic into a helper function
that will check to see if committing the transaction would free enough space for
us to get anything done. With this patch xfstests 83 goes from taking 445

I've been hitting warnings in use_block_rsv when running the delayed insertion

which means we could end up discarding reservations that are for the delayed

delayed insertion reservations since we will know that only the delayed

The tree log had two important bugs that could cause corruptions after a
crash. Sometimes we were allowing tree log blocks to be reused after
the tree log was committed but before the transaction commit was done.
This allowed a future metadata write to overwrite the tree log data. It
is fixed by adding a new variant of freeing reserved extents that always
pins them. Credit goes to Stefan Behrens and Arne Jansen for many many
hours spent tracking this bug down.
During tree log replay, we do a pass through the tree log and pin all
the extents we find. This makes sure the replay code won't go in and
use any of those blocks for new allocations during replay. The problem
is the free space cache isn't honoring these pinned extents. So the
allocator can end up handing them out, leading to all kinds of problems
during replay.
The fix here is to force any free space cache to load while we pin the
extents, and then to make sure we remove the pinned extents from the
free space rbtree.

Mitch kept hitting a panic because he was getting ENOSPC. One of my previous
patches makes it so we are much better at not allocating new metadata chunks.
Unfortunately coupled with the overcommit patch this works us into a bit of a
problem if we are removing a bunch of space and end up chewing up all of our
space with pinned extents. We can allocate chunks fine and overflow is ok, but
the only way to reclaim this space is to commit the transaction. So if we go to
overcommit, first check and see how much pinned space we have. If we have more
than 80% of the free space chewed up with pinned extents, just commit the
transaction, this will free up enough space for our reservation and we won't
have this problem anymore. With this patch Mitch's test doesn't blow up
anymore. Thanks,

Currently btrfs_block_rsv_check does 2 things, it will either refill a block
reserve like in the truncate or refill case, or it will check to see if there is
enough space in the global reserve and possibly refill it. However because of
overcommit we could be well overcommitting ourselves just to try and refill the
global reserve, when really we should just be committing the transaction. So
breack this out into btrfs_block_rsv_refill and btrfs_block_rsv_check. Refill
will try to reserve more metadata if it can and btrfs_block_rsv_check will not,
it will only tell you if the factor of the total space is still reserved.

We started setting trans->block_rsv = NULL to allow the delayed refs flushing
stuff to use the right block_rsv and then just made
btrfs_trans_release_metadata() unconditionally use the trans block rsv. The
problem with this is we need to reserve some space in the transaction and then
migrate it to the global block rsv, so we need to be able to free that out
properly. So instead just move btrfs_trans_release_metadata() before the
delayed ref flushing and use trans->block_rsv for the freeing. Thanks,

The only way we actually reclaim delalloc space is waiting for the IO to
completely finish. Usually we kick off a bunch of IO and wait for a little bit
and hope we can make our reservation, and usually this works out pretty well.
With overcommit however we can get seriously underwater if we're filling up the
disk quickly, so we need to be able to force the delalloc shrinker to wait for
the ordered IO to finish to give us a better chance of actually reclaiming
enough space to get our reservation. Thanks,

Before the only reason to commit the transaction to recover space in
reserve_metadata_bytes() was if there were enough pinned_bytes to satisfy our
reservation. But now we have the delayed inode stuff which will hold it's
reservations until we commit the transaction. So say we max out our reservation
by creating a bunch of files but don't have any pinned bytes we will ENOSPC out
early even though we could commit the transaction and get that space back. So
now just unconditionally commit the transaction since currently there is no way
to know how much metadata space is being reserved by delayed inode stuff.

I noticed recently that my overcommit patch was causing one of my enospc tests
to fail 25% of the time with early ENOSPC. This is because my overcommit patch
was letting us go way over board, but it wasn't waiting long enough to let the
delalloc shrinker do it's job. The problem is we just start writeback and wait
a little bit hoping we flush enough, but we only free up delalloc space by
having the writes complete all the way. We do this by waiting for ordered
extents, which we do but only if we already free'd enough for the reservation,
which isn't right, we should flush ordered extents if we didn't reclaim enough
in case that will push us over the edge. With this patch I've not seen a
failure in this enospc test after running it in a loop for an hour. Thanks,

Yeah yeah I know this is how we used to do it and then I changed it, but damnit
I'm changing it back. The fact is that writing out checksums will modify
metadata, which could cause us to dirty a block group we've already written out,
so we have to truncate it and all of it's checksums and re-write it which will
write new checksums which could dirty a blockg roup that has already been
written and you see where I'm going with this? This can cause unmount or really
anything that depends on a transaction to commit to take it's sweet damned time
to happen. So go back to the way it was, only this time we're specifically
setting NODATACOW because we can't go through the COW pathway anyway and we're
doing our own built-in cow'ing by truncating the free space cache. The other
new thing is once we truncate the old cache and preallocate the new space, we
don't need to do that song and dance at all for the rest of the transaction, we
can just overwrite the existing space with the new cache if the block group
changes for whatever reason, and the NODATACOW will let us do this fine. So
keep track of which transaction we last cleared our cache in and if we cleared
it in this transaction just say we're all setup and carry on. This survives
xfstests and stress.sh.
The inode cache will continue to use the normal csum infrastructure since it
only gets written once and there will be no more modifications to the fs tree in
a transaction commit.

Some users have requested this and I've found I needed a way to disable cache
loading without actually clearing the cache, so introduce the no_space_cache

populated we always turned space caching on. Now we check this and set the
space cache option on, and then parse the mount options so that if we want it
off it get's turned off. Then we check the mount option all the places we do
the caching work instead of checking the super's cache generation. This makes
things more consistent and lets us turn space caching off. Thanks,

One of the things that kills us is the fact that our ENOSPC reservations are
horribly over the top in most normal cases. There isn't too much that can be
done about this because when we are completely full we really need them to work
like this so we don't under reserve. However if there is plenty of unallocated
chunks on the disk we can use that to gauge how much we can overcommit. So this
patch adds chunk free space accounting so we always know how much unallocated
space we have. Then if we fail to make a reservation within our allocated
space, check to see if we can overcommit. In the normal flushing case (like
with delalloc metadata reservations) we'll take the free space and divide it by
2 if our metadata profile is setup for DUP or any of those, and then divide it
by 8 to make sure we don't overcommit too much. Then if we're in a non-flushing
case (we really need this reservation now!) we only limit ourselves to half of
the free space. This makes this fio test

btrfs_bio is a bio abstraction able to split and not complete after the last
bio has returned (like the old btrfs_multi_bio). Additionally, btrfs_bio
tracks the mirror_num used to read data which can be used for error

This fixes a regression introduced by commit cdcb725c05 ("Btrfs: check
if there is enough space for balancing smarter"). We can't do 64-bit
divides on 32-bit architectures.
In cases where we need to divide/multiply by 2 we should just left/right
shift respectively, and in cases where theres N number of devices use
do_div. Also make the counters u64 to match up with rw_devices.

We have a problem where if a user specifies discard but doesn't actually support
it we will return EOPNOTSUPP from btrfs_discard_extent. This is a problem
because this gets called (in a fashion) from the tree log recovery code, which
has a nice little BUG_ON(ret) after it, which causes us to fail the tree log
replay. So instead detect wether our devices support discard when we're adding
them and then don't issue discards if we know that the device doesn't support
it. And just for good measure set ret = 0 in btrfs_issue_discard just in case
we still get EOPNOTSUPP so we don't screw anybody up like this again. Thanks,

In __btrfs_free_extent we will print the leaf if we fail to find the extent we
wanted, but the problem is if we get an error we won't have a leaf so often this
leads to a NULL pointer dereference and we lose the error that actually
occurred. So only print the leaf if ret > 0, which means we didn't find the

This patch was originally from Tejun Heo. lockdep complains about the btrfs
locking because we sometimes take btree locks from two different trees at the
same time. The current classes are based only on level in the btree, which
isn't enough information for lockdep to figure out if the lock is safe.
This patch makes a class for each type of tree, and lumps all the FS trees that
actually have files and directories into the same class.

The btrfs metadata btree is the source of significant
lock contention, especially in the root node. This
commit changes our locking to use a reader/writer
lock.
The lock is built on top of rw spinlocks, and it
extends the lock tracking to remember if we have a
read lock or a write lock when we go to blocking. Atomics
count the number of blocking readers or writers at any
given time.
It removes all of the adaptive spinning from the old code
and uses only the spinning/blocking hints inside of btrfs
to decide when it should continue spinning.
In read heavy workloads this is dramatically faster. In write
heavy workloads we're still faster because of less contention
on the root node lock.
We suffer slightly in dbench because we schedule more often
during write locks, but all other benchmarks so far are improved.

atomic_dec(outstanding) now 0
atomic_read(outstanding)+1 get 1
atomic_read(reserved) get 1
don't actually reserve anything because

atomic_cmpxchg(reserved, 1, 0)
atomic_inc(outstanding)
atomic_add(0, reserved)
free reserved space for 1 extent
Then the reserver now has no actual space reserved for it, and when it goes to

We have to do weird things when handling enospc in the transaction joining code.
Because we've already joined the transaction we cannot commit the transaction
within the reservation code since it will deadlock, so we have to return EAGAIN
and then make sure we don't retry too many times. Instead of doing this, just
do the reservation the normal way before we join the transaction, that way we
can do whatever we want to try and reclaim space, and then if it fails we know
for sure we are out of space and we can return ENOSPC. Thanks,

I was testing with empty_cluster = 0 to try and reproduce a problem and kept
hitting early enospc panics. This was because our loop logic was a little
confused. So this is what I did
1) Make the loop variable the ultimate decider on wether we should loop again
isntead of checking to see if we had an uncached bg, empty size or empty
cluster.
2) Increment loop before checking to see what we are on to make the loop
definitions make more sense.
3) If we are on the chunk alloc loop don't set empty_size/empty_cluster to 0
unless we didn't actually allocate a chunk. If we did allocate a chunk we
should be able to easily setup a new cluster so clearing
empty_size/empty_cluster makes us less efficient.
This kept me from hitting panics while trying to reproduce the other problem.

Observed as a large delay when --mixed filesystem is filled up.
Test example:
1. create tiny --mixed FS:
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=2G.img seek=$((2048 * 1024 * 1024 - 1)) count=1 bs=1
$ mkfs.btrfs --mixed 2G.img
$ mount -oloop 2G.img /mnt/ut/
2. Try to fill it up:
$ dd if=/dev/urandom of=10M.file bs=10240 count=1024
$ seq 1 256 | while read file_no; do echo $file_no; time cp 10M.file ${file_no}.copy; done
Up to '200.copy' it goes fast, but when disk fills-up each -ENOSPC
message takes 3 seconds to pop-up _every_ ENOSPC (and in usermode linux
it's even more: 30-60 seconds!). (Maybe, time depends on kernel's timer resolution).

Originally this was going to be used as a way to give hints to the allocator,

The ceph guys keep running into problems where we have space reserved in our
orphan block rsv when freeing it up. This is because they tend to do snapshots
alot, so their truncates tend to use a bunch of space, so when we go to do
things like update the inode we have to steal reservation space in order to make
the reservation happen. This happens because truncate can use as much space as
it freaking feels like, but we still have to hold space for removing the orphan
item and updating the inode, which will definitely always happen. So in order
to fix this we need to split all of the reservation stuf up. So with this patch
we have
1) The orphan block reserve which only holds the space for deleting our orphan
item when everything is over.
2) The truncate block reserve which gets allocated and used specifically for the
space that the truncate will use on a per truncate basis.
3) The transaction will always have 1 item's worth of data reserved so we can
update the inode normally.
Hopefully this will make the ceph problem go away. Thanks,

We use trans_mutex for lots of things, here's a basic list
1) To serialize trans_handles joining the currently running transaction
2) To make sure that no new trans handles are started while we are committing
3) To protect the dead_roots list and the transaction lists
Really the serializing trans_handles joining is not too hard, and can really get
bogged down in acquiring a reference to the transaction. So replace the
trans_mutex with a trans_lock spinlock and use it to do the following
1) Protect fs_info->running_transaction. All trans handles have to do is check
this, and then take a reference of the transaction and keep on going.
2) Protect the fs_info->trans_list. This doesn't get used too much, basically
it just holds the current transactions, which will usually just be the currently
committing transaction and the currently running transaction at most.
3) Protect the dead roots list. This is only ever processed by splicing the
list so this is relatively simple.
4) Protect the fs_info->reloc_ctl stuff. This is very lightweight and was using
the trans_mutex before, so this is a pretty straightforward change.
5) Protect fs_info->no_trans_join. Because we don't hold the trans_lock over
the entirety of the commit we need to have a way to block new people from
creating a new transaction while we're doing our work. So we set no_trans_join
and in join_transaction we test to see if that is set, and if it is we do a
wait_on_commit.
6) Make the transaction use count atomic so we don't need to take locks to
modify it when we're dropping references.
7) Add a commit_lock to the transaction to make sure multiple people trying to
commit the same transaction don't race and commit at the same time.
8) Make open_ioctl_trans an atomic so we don't have to take any locks for ioctl
trans.
I have tested this with xfstests, but obviously it is a pretty hairy change so
lots of testing is greatly appreciated. Thanks,

- Fix the bug of the cpu recursion spinlock, reported by Chris Mason
Changelog V1 -> V2:
- break up the global rb-tree, use a list to manage the delayed nodes,
which is created for every directory and file, and used to manage the
delayed directory name index items and the delayed inode item.
- introduce a worker to deal with the delayed nodes.
Compare with Ext3/4, the performance of file creation and deletion on btrfs
is very poor. the reason is that btrfs must do a lot of b+ tree insertions,
such as inode item, directory name item, directory name index and so on.
If we can do some delayed b+ tree insertion or deletion, we can improve the
performance, so we made this patch which implemented delayed directory name
index insertion/deletion and delayed inode update.
Implementation:
- introduce a delayed root object into the filesystem, that use two lists to
manage the delayed nodes which are created for every file/directory.
One is used to manage all the delayed nodes that have delayed items. And the
other is used to manage the delayed nodes which is waiting to be dealt with
by the work thread.
- Every delayed node has two rb-tree, one is used to manage the directory name
index which is going to be inserted into b+ tree, and the other is used to
manage the directory name index which is going to be deleted from b+ tree.
- introduce a worker to deal with the delayed operation. This worker is used
to deal with the works of the delayed directory name index items insertion
and deletion and the delayed inode update.
When the delayed items is beyond the lower limit, we create works for some
delayed nodes and insert them into the work queue of the worker, and then
go back.
When the delayed items is beyond the upper bound, we create works for all
the delayed nodes that haven't been dealt with, and insert them into the work
queue of the worker, and then wait for that the untreated items is below some
threshold value.
- When we want to insert a directory name index into b+ tree, we just add the
information into the delayed inserting rb-tree.
And then we check the number of the delayed items and do delayed items
balance. (The balance policy is above.)
- When we want to delete a directory name index from the b+ tree, we search it
in the inserting rb-tree at first. If we look it up, just drop it. If not,
add the key of it into the delayed deleting rb-tree.
Similar to the delayed inserting rb-tree, we also check the number of the
delayed items and do delayed items balance.
(The same to inserting manipulation)
- When we want to update the metadata of some inode, we cached the data of the
inode into the delayed node. the worker will flush it into the b+ tree after
dealing with the delayed insertion and deletion.
- We will move the delayed node to the tail of the list after we access the
delayed node, By this way, we can cache more delayed items and merge more
inode updates.
- If we want to commit transaction, we will deal with all the delayed node.
- the delayed node will be freed when we free the btrfs inode.
- Before we log the inode items, we commit all the directory name index items
and the delayed inode update.
I did a quick test by the benchmark tool[1] and found we can improve the
performance of file creation by ~15%, and file deletion by ~20%.
