Far from the perfect fix, but these structs are small. TODO for the
next release. The block group cache structs are referenced in many
different places, and it isn't safe to just free them while resizing.
A real fix will be a larger change to the allocator so that it doesn't
have to carry about the block group cache structs to find good places
to search for free blocks.

Commit 597:466b27332893 (btrfs_start_transaction: wait for commits in
progress) breaks the transaction start/stop ioctls by making
btrfs_start_transaction conditionally wait for the next transaction to
start. If an application artificially is holding a transaction open,
things deadlock.
This workaround maintains a count of open ioctl-initiated transactions in
fs_info, and avoids wait_current_trans() if any are currently open (in
start_transaction() and btrfs_throttle()). The start transaction ioctl
uses a new btrfs_start_ioctl_transaction() that _does_ call
wait_current_trans(), effectively pushing the join/wait decision to the
outer ioctl-initiated transaction.
This more or less neuters btrfs_throttle() when ioctl-initiated
transactions are in use, but that seems like a pretty fundamental
consequence of wrapping lots of write()'s in a transaction. Btrfs has no
way to tell if the application considers a given operation as part of it's
transaction.
Obviously, if the transaction start/stop ioctls aren't being used, there
is no effect on current behavior.

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.

While dropping snapshots, walk_down_tree does most of the work of checking
reference counts and limiting tree traversal to just the blocks that
we are freeing.
It dropped and held the allocation mutex in strange and confusing ways,
this commit changes it to only hold the mutex while actually freeing a block.
The rest of the checks around reference counts should be safe without the lock
because we only allow one process in btrfs_drop_snapshot at a time. Other
processes dropping reference counts should not drop it to 1 because
their tree roots already have an extra ref on the block.

Large streaming reads make for large bios, which means each entry on the
list async work queues represents a large amount of data. IO
congestion throttling on the device was kicking in before the async
worker threads decided a single thread was busy and needed some help.
The end result was that a streaming read would result in a single CPU
running at 100% instead of balancing the work off to other CPUs.
This patch also changes the pre-IO checksum lookup done by reads to
work on a per-bio basis instead of a per-page. This results in many
extra btree lookups on large streaming reads. Doing the checksum lookup
right before bio submit allows us to reuse searches while processing
adjacent offsets.

The memory reclaiming issue happens when snapshot exists. In that
case, some cache entries may not be used during old snapshot dropping,
so they will remain in the cache until umount.
The patch adds a field to struct btrfs_leaf_ref to record create time. Besides,
the patch makes all dead roots of a given snapshot linked together in order of
create time. After a old snapshot was completely dropped, we check the dead
root list and remove all cache entries created before the oldest dead root in
the list.

To check whether a given file extent is referenced by multiple snapshots, the
checker walks down the fs tree through dead root and checks all tree blocks in
the path.
We can easily detect whether a given tree block is directly referenced by other
snapshot. We can also detect any indirect reference from other snapshot by
checking reference's generation. The checker can always detect multiple
references, but can't reliably detect cases of single reference. So btrfs may
do file data cow even there is only one reference.

A large reference cache is directly related to a lot of work pending
for the cleaner thread. This throttles back new operations based on
the size of the reference cache so the cleaner thread will be able to keep
up.
Overall, this actually makes the FS faster because the cleaner thread will
be more likely to find things in cache.

This changes the reference cache to make a single cache per root
instead of one cache per transaction, and to key by the byte number
of the disk block instead of the keys inside.
This makes it much less likely to have cache misses if a snapshot
or something has an extra reference on a higher node or a leaf while
the first transaction that added the leaf into the cache is dropping.
Some throttling is added to functions that free blocks heavily so they
wait for old transactions to drop.

Much of the IO done while dropping snapshots is done looking up
leaves in the filesystem trees to see if they point to any extents and
to drop the references on any extents found.
This creates a cache so that IO isn't required.

The 'char name[BTRFS_PATH_NAME_MAX]' member of struct btrfs_ioctl_vol_args
is passed directly to strlen() after being copied from user. I haven't
verified this, but in theory a userspace program could pass in an
unterminated string and cause a kernel crash as strlen walks off the end of
the array.
This patch terminates the ->name string in all btrfs ioctl functions which
currently use a 'struct btrfs_ioctl_vol_args'. Since the string is now
properly terminated, it's length will never be longer than
BTRFS_PATH_NAME_MAX so that error check has been removed.
By the way, it might be better overall to just have the ioctl pass an
unterminated string + length structure but I didn't bother with that since
it'd change the kernel/user interface.

Before setting an extent to delalloc, the code needs to wait for
pending ordered extents.
Also, the relocation code needs to wait for ordered IO before scanning
the block group again. This is because the extents are not removed
until the IO for the new extents is finished

Checksum items are not inserted into the tree until all of the io from a
given extent is complete. This means one dirty page from an extent may
be written, freed, and then read again before the entire extent is on disk
and the checksum item is inserted.
The checksums themselves are stored in the ordered extent so they can
be inserted in bulk when IO is complete. On read, if a checksum item isn't
found, the ordered extents were being searched for a checksum record.
This all worked most of the time, but the checksum insertion code tries
to reduce the number of tree operations by pre-inserting checksum items
based on i_size and a few other factors. This means the read code might
find a checksum item that hasn't yet really been filled in.
This commit changes things to check the ordered extents first and only
dive into the btree if nothing was found. This removes the need for
extra locking and is more reliable.

Lockdep has the notion of locking subclasses so that you can identify
locks you expect to be taken after other locks of the same class. This
changes the per-extent buffer btree locking routines to use a subclass based
on the level in the tree.
Unfortunately, lockdep can only handle 8 total subclasses, and the btrfs
max level is also 8. So when lockdep is on, use a lower max level.

Stress testing was showing data checksum errors, most of which were caused
by a lookup bug in the extent_map tree. The tree was caching the last
pointer returned, and searches would check the last pointer first.
But, search callers also expect the search to return the very first
matching extent in the range, which wasn't always true with the last
pointer usage.
For now, the code to cache the last return value is just removed. It is
easy to fix, but I think lookups are rare enough that it isn't required anymore.
This commit also replaces do_sync_mapping_range with a local copy of the
related functions.

Before, extent buffers were a temporary object, meant to map a number of pages
at once and collect operations on them.
But, a few extra fields have crept in, and they are also the best place to
store a per-tree block lock field as well. This commit puts the extent
buffers into an rbtree, and ensures a single extent buffer for each
tree block.

* In btrfs_delete_inode, wait for ordered extents after calling
truncate_inode_pages. This is much faster, and more correct
* Properly clear our the PageChecked bit everywhere we redirty the page.
* Change the writepage fixup handler to lock the page range and check to
see if an ordered extent had been inserted since the improperly dirtied
page was discovered
* Wait for ordered extents outside the transaction. This isn't required
for locking rules but does improve transaction latencies
* Reduce contention on the alloc_mutex by dropping it while incrementing
refs on a node/leaf and while dropping refs on a leaf.
