Filipe Manana 763748b238 btrfs: reduce amount of reserved metadata for delayed item insertion
Whenever we want to create a new dir index item (when creating an inode,
create a hard link, rename a file) we reserve 1 unit of metadata space
for it in a transaction (that's 256K for a node/leaf size of 16K), and
then create a delayed insertion item for it to be added later to the
subvolume's tree. That unit of metadata is kept until the delayed item
is inserted into the subvolume tree, which may take a while to happen
(in the worst case, it's done only when the transaction commits). If we
have multiple dir index items to insert for the same directory, say N
index items, and they all fit in a single leaf of metadata, then we are
holding N units of reserved metadata space when all we need is 1 unit.

This change addresses that, whenever a new delayed dir index item is
added, we release the unit of metadata the caller has reserved when it
started the transaction if adding that new dir index item does not
result in touching one more metadata leaf, otherwise the reservation
is kept by transferring it from the transaction block reserve to the
delayed items block reserve, just like before. Given that with a leaf
size of 16K we can have a few hundred dir index items in a single leaf
(the exact value depends on file name lengths), this reduces pressure on
metadata reservation by releasing unnecessary space much sooner.

The following fs_mark test showed some improvement when creating many
files in parallel on machine running a non debug kernel (debian's default
kernel config) with 12 cores:

  $ cat test.sh
  #!/bin/bash

  DEV=/dev/nvme0n1
  MNT=/mnt/nvme0n1
  MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o ssd"
  FILES=100000
  THREADS=$(nproc --all)

  echo "performance" | \
      tee /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor

  mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV
  mount $MOUNT_OPTIONS $DEV $MNT

  OPTS="-S 0 -L 10 -n $FILES -s 0 -t $THREADS -k"
  for ((i = 1; i <= $THREADS; i++)); do
      OPTS="$OPTS -d $MNT/d$i"
  done

  fs_mark $OPTS

  umount $MNT
