If the fields to be listed and sorted by are constrained to those
populated by dsl_dataset_fast_stat(), then zfs list is much faster,
as it does not need to open each objset and reads its properties.
A previous optimization by Pawel Dawidek
(0cee24064a) took advantage
of this to make listing snapshot names sorted only by name much faster.
However, it was limited to `-o name -s name`, this work extends this
optimization to work with:
- name
- guid
- createtxg
- numclones
- inconsistent
- redacted
- origin
and could be further extended to any other properties supported by
dsl_dataset_fast_stat() or similar, that do not require extra locking
or reading from disk.
This was committed before (9a9e2e343dfa2af28bf7910de77ae73aa006de62),
but was reverted due to a regression when used with an older kernel.
If the kernel does not populate zc->zc_objset_stats, we now fallback
to getting the properties via the slower interface, to avoid problems
with newer userland and older kernels.
