After we allocate the send context object and before we initialize all
the red black trees, we can jump to the 'out' label if some errors happen,
and then under the 'out' label we use RB_EMPTY_ROOT() against some of the
those trees, which we have not yet initialized. This happens to work out
ok because the send context object was initialized to zeroes with kzalloc
and the RB_ROOT initializer just happens to have the following definition:
#define RB_ROOT (struct rb_root) { NULL, }
But it's really neither clean nor a good practice as RB_ROOT is supposed
to be opaque and in case it changes or we change those red black trees to
some other data structure, it leaves us in a precarious situation.
So initialize all the red black trees immediately after allocating the
send context and before any jump into the 'out' label.
This patch is part of a larger patchset and the changelog of the last
patch in the series contains a sample performance test and results.
The patches that comprise the patchset are the following:
btrfs: send: directly return from did_overwrite_ref() and simplify it
btrfs: send: avoid unnecessary generation search at did_overwrite_ref()
btrfs: send: directly return from will_overwrite_ref() and simplify it
btrfs: send: avoid extra b+tree searches when checking reference overrides
btrfs: send: remove send_progress argument from can_rmdir()
btrfs: send: avoid duplicated orphan dir allocation and initialization
btrfs: send: avoid unnecessary orphan dir rbtree search at can_rmdir()
btrfs: send: reduce searches on parent root when checking if dir can be removed
btrfs: send: iterate waiting dir move rbtree only once when processing refs
btrfs: send: initialize all the red black trees earlier
btrfs: send: genericize the backref cache to allow it to be reused
btrfs: adapt lru cache to allow for 64 bits keys on 32 bits systems
btrfs: send: cache information about created directories
btrfs: allow a generation number to be associated with lru cache entries
btrfs: add an api to delete a specific entry from the lru cache
btrfs: send: use the lru cache to implement the name cache
btrfs: send: update size of roots array for backref cache entries
btrfs: send: cache utimes operations for directories if possible

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.
