[PATCH 14/23] workingset: Use xas_store_noinit() to clear shadow entry

From: Jan Kara
Date: Wed Apr 22 2020 - 11:04:05 EST


Shadow entries have no marks. Use xas_store_noinit() to clear the entry
so avoid unneeded initialization of the xarray marks. This provides a
nice boost to truncate numbers. Sample benchmark showing time to
truncate 128 files 1GB each on machine with 64GB of RAM (so about half
of entries are shadow entries):

AVG STDDEV
Vanilla 4.825s 0.036
Patched 4.516s 0.014

So we can see about 6% reduction in overall truncate time.
