Filipe Manana cc14600c15 btrfs: make checksum item extension more efficient
When we want to add checksums into the checksums tree, or a log tree, we
try whenever possible to extend existing checksum items, as this helps
reduce amount of metadata space used, since adding a new item uses extra
metadata space for a btrfs_item structure (25 bytes).

However we have two inefficiencies in the current approach:

1) After finding a checksum item that covers a range with an end offset
   that matches the start offset of the checksum range we want to insert,
   we release the search path populated by btrfs_lookup_csum() and then
   do another COW search on tree with the goal of getting additional
   space for at least one checksum. Doing this path release and then
   searching again is a waste of time because very often the leaf already
   has enough free space for at least one more checksum;

2) After the COW search that guarantees we get free space in the leaf for
   at least one more checksum, we end up not doing the extension of the
   previous checksum item, and fallback to insertion of a new checksum
   item, if the leaf doesn't have an amount of free space larger then the
   space required for 2 checksums plus one btrfs_item structure - this is
   pointless for two reasons:

   a) We want to extend an existing item, so we don't need to account for
      a btrfs_item structure (25 bytes);

   b) We made the COW search with an insertion size for 1 single checksum,
      so if the leaf ends up with a free space amount smaller then 2
      checksums plus the size of a btrfs_item structure, we give up on the
      extension of the existing item and jump to the 'insert' label, where
      we end up releasing the path and then doing yet another search to
      insert a new checksum item for a single checksum.

Fix these inefficiencies by doing the following:

- For case 1), before releasing the path just check if the leaf already
  has enough space for at least 1 more checksum, and if it does, jump
  directly to the item extension code, with releasing our current path,
  which was already COWed by btrfs_lookup_csum();

- For case 2), fix the logic so that for item extension we require only
  that the leaf has enough free space for 1 checksum, and not a minimum
  of 2 checksums plus space for a btrfs_item structure.

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.
