Luis Chamberlain reported insane runtimes in this test:
"xfs/599 takes a long time on LBS, but it passes. The amount of time it
takes, however, begs the question if the test is could be trimmed to do
less work because the larger the block size the larger the number of
dirents and xattrs are used to create. The large dirents are not a
problem. The amount of time it takes to create xattrs with hashcol
however grows exponentially in time.
"n=16k takes 5 seconds
"n=32k takes 30 seconds
"n=64k takes 6-7 minutes
"n=1048576 takes 30 hours
"n=1048576 is what we use for block size 32k.
"Do we really need so many xattrs for larger block sizes for this test?"
No, we don't. The goal of this test is to create a two-level dabtree of
xattrs having identical hashes. However, the test author (me)
apparently forgot that if a dabtree is created in the attr fork, there
will be a dabtree entry for each extended attribute, not each attr leaf
block. Hence it's a waste of time to multiply da_records_per_block by
attr_records_per_block.
