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.

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.

One lock per btree block can make for significant congestion if everyone
has to wait for IO at the high levels of the btree.  This drops
locks held by a path when doing reads during a tree search.

Extent alloctions are still protected by a large alloc_mutex.

The allocation trees and the chunk trees are serialized via their own
dedicated mutexes.  This means allocation location is still not very
fine grained.

The main FS btree is protected by locks on each block in the btree.  Locks
are taken top / down, and as processing finishes on a given level of the
tree, the lock is released after locking the lower level.

The end result of a search is now a path where only the lowest level
is locked.  Releasing or freeing the path drops any locks held.

mount -o thread_pool_size changes the default, which is
min(num_cpus + 2, 8).  Larger thread pools would make more sense on
very large disk arrays.

This mount option controls the max size of each thread pool.  There
are multiple thread pools, so the total worker count will be larger
than the mount option.

This changes the worker thread pool to maintain a list of idle threads,
avoiding a complex search for a good thread to wake up.

Threads have two states:

idle - we try to reuse the last thread used in hopes of improving the batching
ratios

busy - each time a new work item is added to a busy task, the task is
rotated to the end of the line.

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.

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.
