Linux kernel stable tree
c0707c9e1e
We want to limit the scope of the extent lock to be around operations that can change in flight. Currently we hold the extent lock through the entire writepage operation, which isn't really necessary. We want to protect to make sure nobody has updated DELALLOC. In find_lock_delalloc_range we must lock the range in order to validate the contents of our io_tree. However once we've done that we're safe to unlock the range and continue, as we have the page lock already held for the range. We are protected from all operations at this point. * mmap() - we're holding the page lock, thus are protected. * buffered writes - again, we're protected because we take the page lock for the first and last page in our range for buffered writes so we won't create new delalloc ranges in this area. * direct IO - we invalidate pagecache before attempting to write a new area, which requires the page lock, so again are protected once we're holding the page lock on this range. Additionally this behavior actually already exists for compressed, we unlock the range as soon as we start to process the async extents, and re-lock it during compression. So this is completely safe, and makes the locking more consistent. Make this simple by just pushing the extent lock into btrfs_run_delalloc_range. From there followup patches will push the lock further down into its users.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
