Since commit c40a3d38af ("Btrfs: Compute and look up csums based on
sectorsized blocks") we do a kmap_atomic() on the contents of a bvec.
The code before c40a3d38af had the kmap region just around the
checksumming too.
kmap_atomic() in turn does a preempt_disable() and pagefault_disable(),
so we shouldn't map the data for too long. Reduce the time the bvec's
page is mapped to when we actually need it.
Performance wise it doesn't seem to make a huge difference with a 2 vcpu VM
on a /dev/zram device:
vanilla patched delta
write 17.4MiB/s 17.8MiB/s +0.4MiB/s (+2%)
read 40.6MiB/s 41.5MiB/s +0.9MiB/s (+2%)
The following fio job profile was used in the comparision:
[global]
ioengine=libaio
direct=1
sync=1
norandommap
time_based
runtime=10m
size=100m
group_reporting
numjobs=2
[test]
filename=/mnt/test/fio
rw=randrw
rwmixread=70
