From f98de9b9c07485f7e21edfd5b2b20c89d662af3c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Filipe Manana Date: Mon, 4 Aug 2014 19:37:21 +0100 Subject: Btrfs: make btrfs_search_forward return with nodes unlocked None of the uses of btrfs_search_forward() need to have the path nodes (level >= 1) read locked, only the leaf needs to be locked while the caller processes it. Therefore make it return a path with all nodes unlocked, except for the leaf. This change is motivated by the observation that during a file fsync we repeatdly call btrfs_search_forward() and process the returned leaf while upper nodes of the returned path (level >= 1) are read locked, which unnecessarily blocks other tasks that want to write to the same fs/subvol btree. Therefore instead of modifying the fsync code to unlock all nodes with level >= 1 immediately after calling btrfs_search_forward(), change btrfs_search_forward() to do it, so that it benefits all callers.
