Since reloc tree doesn't contribute to qgroup numbers, just skip them. This should catch the final cause of unnecessary data refs for qgroup + metadata balance.
The 4G data 16 snapshots test (*) should explain it pretty well: | delayed subtree | refactor delayed ref | this patch --------------------------------------------------------------------- relocated | 22653 | 22673 | 22744 qgroup dirty | 122792 | 48360 | 70 time | 24.494 | 11.606 | 3.944 Finally, we're at the stage where qgroup + metadata balance cost no obvious overhead. *: Test environment Test VM: - vRAM 8G - vCPU 8 - block dev vitrio-blk, 'unsafe' cache mode - host block 850evo Test workload - Copy 4G data from /usr/ to one subvolume - Create 16 snapshots of that subvolume, and modify 3 files in each snapshot - Enable quota, rescan - Time "btrfs balance start -m" Signed-off-by: Qu Wenruo <w...@suse.com> --- fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c | 10 ++++++---- 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c b/fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c index 2c08b9646c61..2d71cc1acb2f 100644 --- a/fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c +++ b/fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c @@ -9235,11 +9235,13 @@ static noinline int walk_up_proc(struct btrfs_trans_handle *trans, else ret = btrfs_dec_ref(trans, root, eb, 0); BUG_ON(ret); /* -ENOMEM */ - ret = btrfs_qgroup_trace_leaf_items(trans, eb); - if (ret) { - btrfs_err_rl(fs_info, - "error %d accounting leaf items.
