[PATCH] Btrfs-progs: fsck: reduce memory usage for extents check
Steps to reproduce: # mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sda9 -b 2g # mount /dev/sda9 /mnt # dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/data bs=4k oflag=direct # btrfs file df /mnt Data, single: total=1.66GiB, used=1.66GiB System, single: total=4.00MiB, used=16.00KiB Metadata, single: total=200.00MiB, used=67.88MiB For a filesystem without snapshots, 70M metadata, extent checking eats max memory about 110M, this is a nightmare for some system with low memory. It is very likely that extent record can be freed quickly for a filesystem without snapshots, improve this by trying if it can free memory after adding data/tree backrefs. This patch reduces max memory cost from 110M to 40M for extents checking for the above case.
