When crawling btree, if an eb cache miss occurs, we change to use the eb read lock and release all previous locks (including the parent lock) to reduce lock contention. If an eb cache miss occurs in a leaf and needs to execute IO, before this change we released locks only from level 2 and up and we read a leaf's content from disk while holding a lock on its parent (level 1), causing the unnecessary lock contention on the parent, after this change we release locks from level 1 and up, but we lock level 0, and read leaf's content from disk. Because we have prepared the check parameters and the read lock of eb we hold, we can ensure that no race will occur during the check and cause unexpected errors.

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.
