[ Upstream commit fc746acb7aa9aeaa2cb5dcba449323319ba5c8eb ] Whenever we need to send a command for the current inode, like sending writes, xattr updates, truncates, utimes, etc, we compute the inode's path each time, which implies doing some memory allocations and traversing the inode hierarchy to extract the name of the inode and each ancestor directory, and that implies doing lookups in the subvolume tree amongst other operations. Most of the time, by far, the current inode's path doesn't change while we are processing it (like if we need to issue 100 write commands, the path remains the same and it's pointless to compute it 100 times). To avoid this keep the current inode's path cached in the send context and invalidate it or update it whenever it's needed (after unlinks or renames). A performance test, and its results, is mentioned in the next patch in the series (subject: "btrfs: send: avoid path allocation for the current inode when issuing commands").

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.
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.
