David Sterba b37eb352c4 btrfs: accessors: delete token versions of set/get helpers
Once upon a time there was a need to cache address of extent buffer
pages, as it was a costly operation (map_private_extent_buffer(),
cfed81a04e ("Btrfs: add the ability to cache a pointer into the
eb")).  This was not even due to use of HIGHMEM, this had been removed
before that due to possible locking issues (a65917156e ("Btrfs:
stop using highmem for extent_buffers")).

Over time the amount of work in the set/get helpers got reduced and
became quite straightforward bounds checking with an unaligned
read/write, commit db3756c879 ("btrfs: remove unused
map_private_extent_buffer").

The actual caching of the page_address()/folio_address() in the token
was more work for very little gain. This depended on subsequent access
into the same page/folio, otherwise the cached pointer had to be
updated.

For metadata-heavy operations this showed up in the 'perf top' profile
where the btrfs_get_token_32() calls were at the top, on my testing
machine consuming about 2-3%. The other generic 32/64 bit helpers also
appeared in the profile with similar fraction.

After removing use of the token helpers we can remove them completely,
this leads to reduction of btrfs.ko by 6.7KiB on release config.

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.
