btrfs: always update the logged transaction when logging new names
When we are logging a new name for an inode, due to a link or rename operation, if the inode has ancestor inodes that are new, created in the current transaction, we need to log that these inodes exist. To ensure that a subsequent explicit fsync on one of these ancestor inodes does sync the log, we don't set the logged_trans field of these inodes. This was done in commit 75b463d2 ("btrfs: do not commit logs and transactions during link and rename operations"), to avoid syncing a log after a rename or link operation. In order to allow for future changes to do some optimizations, change this behaviour to always update the logged_trans of any logged inode and don't update the last_log_commit of the inode if we are logging that it exists. This accomplishes that same objective with simpler logic, allowing for some optimizations in the next patches. So just do that simplification. This patch is part of a patch set comprised of the following patches: btrfs: check if a log tree exists at inode_logged() btrfs: remove no longer needed checks for NULL log context btrfs: do not log new dentries when logging that a new name exists btrfs: always update the logged transaction when logging new names btrfs: avoid expensive search when dropping inode items from log btrfs: add helper to truncate inode items when logging inode btrfs: avoid expensive search when truncating inode items from the log btrfs: avoid search for logged i_size when logging inode if possible btrfs: avoid attempt to drop extents when logging inode for the first time btrfs: do not commit delayed inode when logging a file in full sync mode This is patch 4/10 and test results are listed in the change log of the last patch in the set.
