When setting and clearing a delalloc range, at btrfs_set_delalloc_extent()
and btrfs_clear_delalloc_extent(), we are adding/removing the inode
to/from the root's list of delalloc inodes while under the protection of
the inode's lock. This however is not needed, we can add and remove the
inode to the root's list without holding the inode's lock because here
we are under the protection of the io tree's lock, reducing the size of
the critical section delimited by the inode's lock. The inode's lock is
used in many other places such as when finishing an ordered extent (when
calling btrfs_update_inode_bytes() or btrfs_delalloc_release_metadata(),
or decreasing the number of outstanding extents) or when reserving space
when doing a buffered or direct IO write (calls to functions from
delalloc-space.c).
So move the inode add/remove operations to the root's list of delalloc
inodes to outside the critical section delimited by the inode's lock.
This also allows us to get rid of the BTRFS_INODE_IN_DELALLOC_LIST flag
since we can rely on the inode's delalloc bytes counter to determine if
the inode is or is not in the list.
The following fio based test, that exercises IO to multiple files in the
same subvolume, was used to test:
$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/bash
DEV=/dev/nullb0
MNT=/mnt/nullb0
MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o ssd"
mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV &> /dev/null
mount $MOUNT_OPTIONS $DEV $MNT
fio --direct=0 --ioengine=sync --thread --directory=$MNT \
--invalidate=1 --group_reporting=1 \
--new_group --rw=randwrite --size=50m --numjobs=200 \
--bs=4k --fsync_on_close=0 --fallocate=none --end_fsync=0 \
--name=foo --filename_format=FioWorkloads.\$jobnum
umount $MNT
The test was run on a non-debug kernel (Debian's default kernel config)
against a 16G null block device.

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.
