Btrfs: reduce stalls during transaction commit
To avoid deadlocks and reduce latencies during some critical operations, some transaction writers are allowed to jump into the running transaction and make it run a little longer, while others sit around and wait for the commit to finish. This is a bit unfair, especially when the callers that jump in do a bunch of IO that makes all the others procs on the box wait. This commit reduces the stalls this produces by pre-reading file extent pointers during btrfs_finish_ordered_io before the transaction is joined. It also tunes the drop_snapshot code to politely wait for transactions that have started writing out their delayed refs to finish. This avoids new delayed refs being flooded into the queue while we're trying to close off the transaction. Signed-off-by: Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com>
