For NOWAIT IOCBs we'll need a way to tell search to not wait on locks
or anything. Accomplish this by adding a path->nowait flag that will
use trylocks and skip reading of metadata, returning -EAGAIN in either
of these cases. For now we only need this for reads, so only the read
side is handled. Add an ASSERT() to catch anybody trying to use this
for writes so they know they'll have to implement the write side.

This isn't necessarily new, it's just tricky to hit in practice. There
are two competing things going on here. With relocation we create a
snapshot of every fs tree with a reloc tree. Any extent buffers that
get initialized here are initialized with the reloc root lockdep key.
However since it is a snapshot, any blocks that are currently in cache
that originally belonged to the fs tree will have the normal tree
lockdep key set. This creates the lock dependency of
reloc tree -> normal tree
for the extent buffer locking during the first phase of the relocation
as we walk down the reloc root to relocate blocks.
However this is problematic because the final phase of the relocation is
merging the reloc root into the original fs root. This involves
searching down to any keys that exist in the original fs root and then
swapping the relocated block and the original fs root block. We have to
search down to the fs root first, and then go search the reloc root for
the block we need to replace. This creates the dependency of
normal tree -> reloc tree
which is why lockdep complains.
Additionally even if we were to fix this particular mismatch with a
different nesting for the merge case, we're still slotting in a block
that has a owner of the reloc root objectid into a normal tree, so that
block will have its lockdep key set to the tree reloc root, and create a
lockdep splat later on when we wander into that block from the fs root.
Unfortunately the only solution here is to make sure we do not set the
lockdep key to the reloc tree lockdep key normally, and then reset any
blocks we wander into from the reloc root when we're doing the merged.
This solves the problem of having mixed tree reloc keys intermixed with
normal tree keys, and then allows us to make sure in the merge case we
maintain the lock order of
normal tree -> reloc tree
We handle this by setting a bit on the reloc root when we do the search
for the block we want to relocate, and any block we search into or COW
at that point gets set to the reloc tree key. This works correctly
because we only ever COW down to the parent node, so we aren't resetting
the key for the block we're linking into the fs root.
With this patch we no longer have the lockdep splat in btrfs/187.

We currently use lockdep_assert_held() at btrfs_assert_tree_locked(), and
that checks that we hold a lock either in read mode or write mode.
However in all contexts we use btrfs_assert_tree_locked(), we actually
want to check if we are holding a write lock on the extent buffer's rw
semaphore - it would be a bug if in any of those contexts we were holding
a read lock instead.
So change btrfs_assert_tree_locked() to use lockdep_assert_held_write()
instead and, to make it more explicit, rename btrfs_assert_tree_locked()
to btrfs_assert_tree_write_locked(), so that it's clear we want to check
we are holding a write lock.
For now there are no contexts where we want to assert that we must have
a read lock, but in case that is needed in the future, we can add a new
helper function that just calls out lockdep_assert_held_read().

Historically we've implemented our own locking because we wanted to be
able to selectively spin or sleep based on what we were doing in the
tree. For instance, if all of our nodes were in cache then there's
rarely a reason to need to sleep waiting for node locks, as they'll
likely become available soon. At the time this code was written the
rw_semaphore didn't do adaptive spinning, and thus was orders of
magnitude slower than our home grown locking.
However now the opposite is the case. There are a few problems with how
we implement blocking locks, namely that we use a normal waitqueue and
simply wake everybody up in reverse sleep order. This leads to some
suboptimal performance behavior, and a lot of context switches in highly
contended cases. The rw_semaphores actually do this properly, and also
have adaptive spinning that works relatively well.
The locking code is also a bit of a bear to understand, and we lose the
benefit of lockdep for the most part because the blocking states of the
lock are simply ad-hoc and not mapped into lockdep.
So rework the locking code to drop all of this custom locking stuff, and
simply use a rw_semaphore for everything. This makes the locking much
simpler for everything, as we can now drop a lot of cruft and blocking
transitions. The performance numbers vary depending on the workload,
because generally speaking there doesn't tend to be a lot of contention
on the btree. However, on my test system which is an 80 core single
socket system with 256GiB of RAM and a 2TiB NVMe drive I get the
following results (with all debug options off):
dbench 200 baseline

dbench 200 with patch
Throughput 737.188 MB/sec 200 clients 200 procs max_latency=714.346 ms
Previously we also used fs_mark to test this sort of contention, and
those results are far less impressive, mostly because there's not enough
tasks to really stress the locking

The way we add new roots is confusing from a locking perspective for
lockdep. We generally have the rule that we lock things in order from
highest level to lowest, but in the case of adding a new level to the
tree we actually allocate a new block for the root, which makes the
locking go in reverse. A similar issue exists for snapshotting, we cow
the original root for the root of a new tree, however they're at the
same level. Address this by using BTRFS_NESTING_NEW_ROOT for these
operations.

Our current tree locking stuff allows us to recurse with read locks if
we're already holding the write lock. This is necessary for the space
cache inode, as we could be holding a lock on the root_tree root when we
need to cache a block group, and thus need to be able to read down the
root_tree to read in the inode cache.
We can get away with this in our current locking, but we won't be able
to with a rwsem. Handle this by purposefully annotating the places
where we require recursion, so that in the future we can maybe come up
with a way to avoid the recursion. In the case of the free space inode,
this will be superseded by the free space tree.

A (D)ouble (R)eader (W)riter (E)xclustion lock is a locking primitive
that allows to have multiple readers or multiple writers but not
multiple readers and writers holding it concurrently.
The code is factored out from the existing open-coded locking scheme
used to exclude pending snapshots from nocow writers and vice-versa.
Current implementation actually favors Readers (that is snapshot
creaters) to writers (nocow writers of the filesystem).
The API provides lock/unlock/trylock for reads and writes.

The fair reader/writer locks mean that btrfs_clear_path_blocking needs
to strictly follow lock ordering rules even when we already have
blocking locks on a given path.
Before we can clear a blocking lock on the path, we need to make sure
all of the locks have been converted to blocking. This will remove lock
inversions against anyone spinning in write_lock() against the buffers
we're trying to get read locks on. These inversions didn't exist before
the fair read/writer locks, but now we need to be more careful.
We papered over this deadlock in the past by changing
btrfs_try_read_lock() to be a true trylock against both the spinlock and
the blocking lock. This was slower, and not sufficient to fix all the
deadlocks. This patch adds a btrfs_tree_read_lock_atomic(), which
basically means get the spinlock but trylock on the blocking lock.

The btrfs metadata btree is the source of significant
lock contention, especially in the root node. This
commit changes our locking to use a reader/writer
lock.
The lock is built on top of rw spinlocks, and it
extends the lock tracking to remember if we have a
read lock or a write lock when we go to blocking. Atomics
count the number of blocking readers or writers at any
given time.
It removes all of the adaptive spinning from the old code
and uses only the spinning/blocking hints inside of btrfs
to decide when it should continue spinning.
In read heavy workloads this is dramatically faster. In write
heavy workloads we're still faster because of less contention
on the root node lock.
We suffer slightly in dbench because we schedule more often
during write locks, but all other benchmarks so far are improved.

Btrfs was using spin_is_contended to see if it should drop locks before
doing extent allocations during btrfs_search_slot. The idea was to avoid
expensive searches in the tree unless the lock was actually contended.
But, spin_is_contended is specific to the ticket spinlocks on x86, so this
is causing compile errors everywhere else.
In practice, the contention could easily appear some time after we started
doing the extent allocation, and it makes more sense to always drop the lock
instead.

Most of the btrfs metadata operations can be protected by a spinlock,
but some operations still need to schedule.
So far, btrfs has been using a mutex along with a trylock loop,
most of the time it is able to avoid going for the full mutex, so
the trylock loop is a big performance gain.
This commit is step one for getting rid of the blocking locks entirely.
btrfs_tree_lock takes a spinlock, and the code explicitly switches
to a blocking lock when it starts an operation that can schedule.
We'll be able get rid of the blocking locks in smaller pieces over time.
Tracing allows us to find the most common cause of blocking, so we
can start with the hot spots first.
The basic idea is:
btrfs_tree_lock() returns with the spin lock held
btrfs_set_lock_blocking() sets the EXTENT_BUFFER_BLOCKING bit in
the extent buffer flags, and then drops the spin lock. The buffer is
still considered locked by all of the btrfs code.
If btrfs_tree_lock gets the spinlock but finds the blocking bit set, it drops
the spin lock and waits on a wait queue for the blocking bit to go away.
Much of the code that needs to set the blocking bit finishes without actually
blocking a good percentage of the time. So, an adaptive spin is still
used against the blocking bit to avoid very high context switch rates.
btrfs_clear_lock_blocking() clears the blocking bit and returns
with the spinlock held again.
btrfs_tree_unlock() can be called on either blocking or spinning locks,
it does the right thing based on the blocking bit.
ctree.c has a helper function to set/clear all the locked buffers in a
path as blocking.

A btree block cow has two parts, the first is to allocate a destination
block and the second is to copy the old bock over.
The first part needs locks in the extent allocation tree, and may need to
do IO. This changeset splits that into a separate function that can be
called without any tree locks held.
btrfs_search_slot is changed to drop its path and start over if it has
to COW a contended block. This often means that many writers will
pre-alloc a new destination for a the same contended block, but they
cache their prealloc for later use on lower levels in the tree.

The allocation trees and the chunk trees are serialized via their own
dedicated mutexes. This means allocation location is still not very
fine grained.
The main FS btree is protected by locks on each block in the btree. Locks
are taken top / down, and as processing finishes on a given level of the
tree, the lock is released after locking the lower level.
The end result of a search is now a path where only the lowest level
is locked. Releasing or freeing the path drops any locks held.
