btrfs: stop reserving excessive space for block group item updates
Space for block group item updates, necessary after allocating or deallocating an extent from a block group, is reserved in the delayed refs block reserve. Currently we do this by incrementing the transaction handle's delayed_ref_updates counter and then calling btrfs_update_delayed_refs_rsv(), which will increase the size of the delayed refs block reserve by an amount that corresponds to the same amount we use for delayed refs, given by btrfs_calc_delayed_ref_bytes(). That is an excessive amount because it corresponds to the amount of space needed to insert one item in a btree (btrfs_calc_insert_metadata_size()) times 2 when the free space tree feature is enabled. All we need is an amount as given by btrfs_calc_metadata_size(), since we only need to update an existing block group item in the extent tree (or block group tree if this feature is enabled). By using btrfs_calc_metadata_size() we will need to reserve 4 times less space when using the free space tree and 2 times less space when not using it, putting less pressure on space reservation. So use helpers to reserve and release space for block group item updates that use btrfs_calc_metadata_size() for calculation of the space.

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 Restructured Text 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.
