Kernel emits inode number for all mkfile/mkdir/... commands but the
receive part does not pass it to the callbacks. At least document that
and read it from the stream in case we'd like to use it in the future.

The header contains the protocol definitions and is almost exactly the
same as the kernel version, move it to the proper directory.

To use optimized CRC implementation, the input buffer must be
unsigned long aligned. btrfs receive calculates checksum based on
read_buf, including btrfs_cmd_header (with zeroed CRC field)
and command content.
Reorder the buffer to the beginning of the structure and force the
alignment to 64, this should be cacheline friendly and could speed up
the data transfers.
Interesting parts from the report:
Sending host:
Fedora 33
AMD ThreadRipper 1920X - 128GB RAM
2x10GBit Ethernet, bonded
MegaRaid 9270
6x16TB Seagate Exos in RAID5
Receiving host:
Fedora 33
Intel i3-7300 - HT enabled - 32GB RAM
10GBit Ethernet, single connection
MegaRaid 9260
12x8TB WD NAS drives in RAID5
The 2 hosts are connected to the same 10G switch. The sender could definitely
saturate a 10GBit link. The practically achievable writes on the backup host
would be lower, but still at least 400MB/s. The file system contains mostly
large files of 1GB+, so there is little meta-data.
With btrfs send/receive I'm getting a steady transfer rate of 60MB/s. The copy
has been running for a little over 5 days now, having only transferred some
25TB. This is way too slow for this setup.
Analyzing resource usage, the sender side is fine, both the btrfs send and the
corresponding ssh process only use about 10-10% CPU, which on a 24 threaded
machine is virtually nothing. However, the receiver is running with a load of
~2.6, with the sshd using 30-50% CPU and the btrfs receive a further 60-70%.
The rest of the load comes from IO wait. So the bottleneck is the btrfs receive
clearly.
