Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: kill btrfs_clear_path_blocking
Btrfs's btree locking has two modes, spinning mode and blocking mode,
while searching btree, locking is always acquired in spinning mode and
then converted to blocking mode if necessary, and in some hot paths we may
switch the locking back to spinning mode by btrfs_clear_path_blocking().
When acquiring locks, both of reader and writer need to wait for blocking
readers and writers to complete before doing read_lock()/write_lock().
The problem is that btrfs_clear_path_blocking() needs to switch nodes
in the path to blocking mode at first (by btrfs_set_path_blocking) to
make lockdep happy before doing its actual clearing blocking job.
When switching to blocking mode from spinning mode, it consists of
step 1) bumping up blocking readers counter and
step 2) read_unlock()/write_unlock(),
this has caused serious ping-pong effect if there're a great amount of
concurrent readers/writers, as waiters will be woken up and go to
sleep immediately.
1) Killing this kind of ping-pong results in a big improvement in my 1600k
files creation script,

1.1) latency histogram from funclatency[1]
Overall with the patch, there're ~50% less write lock acquisition and
the 95% max latency that write lock takes also reduces to ~100ms from
>500ms.

2) dbench also proves the improvement,

w/o patch:
Throughput 158.363 MB/sec
w/ patch:
Throughput 449.52 MB/sec
3) xfstests didn't show any additional failures.
One thing to note is that callers may set path->leave_spinning to have
all nodes in the path stay in spinning mode, which means callers are
ready to not sleep before releasing the path, but it won't cause
problems if they don't want to sleep in blocking mode.
