Btrfs: Reduce contention on the root node
This calls unlock_up sooner in btrfs_search_slot in order to decrease the
amount of work done with the higher level tree locks held.
Also, it changes btrfs_tree_lock to spin for a big against the page lock
before scheduling. This makes a big difference in context switch rate under
highly contended workloads.
Longer term, a better locking structure is needed than the page lock.

Add btrfs_end_transaction_throttle to force writers to wait for pending commits
The existing throttle mechanism was often not sufficient to prevent
new writers from coming in and making a given transaction run forever.
This adds an explicit wait at the end of most operations so they will
allow the current transaction to close.
There is no wait inside file_write, inode updates, or cow filling, all which
have different deadlock possibilities.
This is a temporary measure until better asynchronous commit support is
added. This code leads to stalls as it waits for data=ordered
writeback, and it really needs to be fixed.

Btrfs: Add a skip_locking parameter to struct path, and make various funcs honor it
Allocations may need to read in block groups from the extent allocation tree,
which will require a tree search and take locks on the extent allocation
tree. But, those locks might already be held in other places, leading
to deadlocks.
Since the alloc_mutex serializes everything right now, it is safe to
skip the btree locking while caching block groups. A better fix will be
to either create a recursive lock or find a way to back off existing
locks while caching block groups.

Btrfs: Add async worker threads for pre and post IO checksumming
Btrfs has been using workqueues to spread the checksumming load across
other CPUs in the system. But, workqueues only schedule work on the
same CPU that queued the work, giving them a limited benefit for systems with
higher CPU counts.
This code adds a generic facility to schedule work with pools of kthreads,
and changes the bio submission code to queue bios up. The queueing is
important to make sure large numbers of procs on the system don't
turn streaming workloads into random workloads by sending IO down
concurrently.
The end result of all of this is much higher performance (and CPU usage) when
doing checksumming on large machines. Two worker pools are created,
one for writes and one for endio processing. The two could deadlock if
we tried to service both from a single pool.

Btrfs: transaction ioctls
These ioctls let a user application hold a transaction open while it
performs a series of operations. A final ioctl does a sync on the fs
(closing the current transaction). This is the main requirement for
Ceph's OSD to be able to keep the data it's storing in a btrfs volume
consistent, and AFAICS it works just fine. The application would do
something like
fd = ::open("some/file", O_RDONLY);
::ioctl(fd, BTRFS_IOC_TRANS_START);
/* do a bunch of stuff */
::ioctl(fd, BTRFS_IOC_TRANS_END);
or just
::close(fd);
And to ensure it commits to disk,
::ioctl(fd, BTRFS_IOC_SYNC);
When a transaction is held open, the trans_handle is attached to the
struct file (via private_data) so that it will get cleaned up if the
process dies unexpectedly. A held transaction is also ended on fsync() to
avoid a deadlock.
A misbehaving application could also deliberately hold a transaction open,
effectively locking up the FS, so it may make sense to restrict something
like this to root or something.

The data read retry code needs to find the logical disk block before it

This changes the retry code to use the extent map cache instead, but
