Filipe Manana 433a3e01dd btrfs: remove i_size restriction at try_release_extent_mapping()
Currently we don't attempt to release extent maps if the inode has an
i_size that is not greater than 16M. This condition was added way back
in 2008 by commit 70dec8079d ("Btrfs: extent_io and extent_state
optimizations"), without any explanation about it. A quick chat with
Chris on slack revealed that the goal was probably to release the extent
maps for small files only when closing the inode. This however can be
harmful in case we have tons of such files being kept open for very long
periods of time, since we will consume more and more pages for extent
maps.

So remove the condition.

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 reStructuredText 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.
