In nocow path, we check if the extent is snapshotted in btrfs_cross_ref_exist(). We can do the similar check earlier and avoid unnecessary search into extent tree. A fio test on a Intel D-1531, 16GB RAM, SSD RAID-5 machine as follows: [global] group_reporting time_based thread=1 ioengine=libaio bs=4k iodepth=32 size=64G runtime=180 numjobs=8 rw=randwrite [file1] filename=/mnt/nocow/testfile IOPS result: unpatched patched 1 fio round: 46670 46958 snapshot 2 fio round: 51826 54498 3 fio round: 59767 61289 After snapshot, the first fio get about 5% performance gain. As we continually write to the same file, all writes will resume to nocow mode and eventually we have no performance gain.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
