Filipe Manana 88e221cdac btrfs: avoid expensive search when dropping inode items from log
Whenever we are logging a directory inode, logging that an inode exists or
logging an inode that has changes in its references or xattrs, we attempt
to delete items of this inode we may have previously logged (through calls
to drop_objectid_items()).

That attempt does a btree search for deletion, which is expensive because
it always acquires write locks for extent buffers at levels 2, 1 and 0,
and it balances any node that is less than half full. Acquiring the write
locks can block the task if the extent buffers are already locked or block
other tasks attempting to lock them, which is specially bad in case of log
trees since they are small due to their short life, with a root node at a
level typically not greater than level 2.

If we know that we are logging the inode for the first time in the current
transaction, we can skip the search. This change does that.

This patch is part of a patch set comprised of the following patches:

  btrfs: check if a log tree exists at inode_logged()
  btrfs: remove no longer needed checks for NULL log context
  btrfs: do not log new dentries when logging that a new name exists
  btrfs: always update the logged transaction when logging new names
  btrfs: avoid expensive search when dropping inode items from log
  btrfs: add helper to truncate inode items when logging inode
  btrfs: avoid expensive search when truncating inode items from the log
  btrfs: avoid search for logged i_size when logging inode if possible
  btrfs: avoid attempt to drop extents when logging inode for the first time
  btrfs: do not commit delayed inode when logging a file in full sync mode

This is patch 5/10 and test results are listed in the change log of the
last patch in the set.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
