    Btrfs: Reduce contention on the root node · f9efa9c7
    Chris Mason authored
    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.
