Filipe Manana e383e158ed btrfs: preallocate temporary extent buffer for inode logging when needed 
When logging an inode and we require to copy items from subvolume leaves
to the log tree, we clone each subvolume leaf and than use that clone to
copy items to the log tree. This is required to avoid possible deadlocks
as stated in commit 796787c978 ("btrfs: do not modify log tree while
holding a leaf from fs tree locked").

The cloning requires allocating an extent buffer (struct extent_buffer)
and then allocating pages (folios) to attach to the extent buffer. This
may be slow in case we are under memory pressure, and since we are doing
the cloning while holding a read lock on a subvolume leaf, it means we
can be blocking other operations on that leaf for significant periods of
time, which can increase latency on operations like creating other files,
renaming files, etc. Similarly because we're under a log transaction, we
may also cause extra delay on other tasks doing an fsync, because syncing
the log requires waiting for tasks that joined a log transaction to exit
the transaction.

So to improve this, for any inode logging operation that needs to copy
items from a subvolume leaf ("full sync" or "copy everything" bit set
in the inode), preallocate a dummy extent buffer before locking any
extent buffer from the subvolume tree, and even before joining a log
transaction, add it to the log context and then use it when we need to
copy items from a subvolume leaf to the log tree. This avoids making
other operations get extra latency when waiting to lock a subvolume
leaf that is used during inode logging and we are under heavy memory
pressure.

The following test script with bonnie++ was used to test this:

  $ cat test.sh
  #!/bin/bash

  DEV=/dev/sdh
  MNT=/mnt/sdh
  MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o ssd"

  MEMTOTAL_BYTES=`free -b | grep Mem: | awk '{ print $2 }'`
  NR_DIRECTORIES=20
  NR_FILES=20480
  DATASET_SIZE=$((MEMTOTAL_BYTES * 2 / 1048576))
  DIRECTORY_SIZE=$((MEMTOTAL_BYTES * 2 / NR_FILES))
  NR_FILES=$((NR_FILES / 1024))

  echo "performance" | \
      tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor

  umount $DEV &> /dev/null
  mkfs.btrfs -f $MKFS_OPTIONS $DEV
  mount $MOUNT_OPTIONS $DEV $MNT

  bonnie++ -u root -d $MNT \
      -n $NR_FILES:$DIRECTORY_SIZE:$DIRECTORY_SIZE:$NR_DIRECTORIES \
      -r 0 -s $DATASET_SIZE -b

  umount $MNT

The results of this test on a 8G VM running a non-debug kernel (Debian's
default kernel config), were the following.

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.
