Marc reported that "btrfs check --repair" runs much faster than "btrfs
check", which is quite weird.

This patch will add time elapsed for each major tree it checked, for
both original mode and lowmem mode, so we can have a clue what's going
wrong.

Thanks.
Sadly, as you may have seen in the other thread, after I ran clear_cache
to fix another bug, now check --repair takes around 3H is is slower than
regular check, as it's expected to be.
But next time I need to run check, I'll try check vs check --repair
again and report the times if they are weird.

In the meantime you can check in btrfs-progs WIP and maybe someone else
will get useful time data before I can again.

Thanks,
Marc

How about adding the prefixes to show which part of check/repair is done
before showing the elaplsed time, like "checking fs roots done in XX seconds"
and "checking extents done in XX seconds"?

Current message, "done in XX seconds" for all parts, is hard to understand
which part takes such the time, especially when something wrong happens
in some parts. For example, please see the following example of repairing
the image based on tests/fsck-tests/002-bad-transid/default_case.img

===
...
opening btrfs filesystem
parent transid verify failed on 29360128 wanted 9 found 755944791
parent transid verify failed on 29360128 wanted 9 found 755944791
parent transid verify failed on 29360128 wanted 9 found 755944791
parent transid verify failed on 29360128 wanted 9 found 755944791
Ignoring transid failure
done in 0 seconds
...
checking free space cache
cache and super generation don't match, space cache will be invalidated
done in 0 seconds
...
===

Nice advice.

I'll update the patch to add a prefix for this.
