btrfs: delayed-ref: Introduce better documented delayed ref structures
Current delayed ref interface has several problems:
- Longer and longer parameter lists
bytenr
num_bytes
parent
---------- so far so good
ref_root
owner
offset
---------- I don't feel good now
- Different interpretation of the same parameter
Above @owner for data ref is inode number (u64),
while for tree ref, it's level (int).
They are even in different size range.
For level we only need 0 ~ 8, while for ino it's
BTRFS_FIRST_FREE_OBJECTID ~ BTRFS_LAST_FREE_OBJECTID.
And @offset doesn't even make sense for tree ref.
Such parameter reuse may look clever as an hidden union, but it
destroys code readability.
To solve both problems, we introduce a new structure, btrfs_ref to solve
them:
- Structure instead of long parameter list
This makes later expansion easier, and is better documented.
- Use btrfs_ref::type to distinguish data and tree ref
- Use proper union to store data/tree ref specific structures.
- Use separate functions to fill data/tree ref data, with a common generic
function to fill common bytenr/num_bytes members.
All parameters will find its place in btrfs_ref, and an extra member,
@real_root, inspired by ref-verify code, is newly introduced for later
qgroup code, to record which tree is triggered by this extent modification.
This patch doesn't touch any code, but provides the basis for further
refactoring.
