Since reloc tree doesn't contribute to qgroup numbers, just skip them.
This should catch the final cause of unnecessary data ref processing
when running balance of metadata with qgroups on.
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"

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.
