[PATCH RFC 4/4] btrfs: skip subtree scan if it's too high to avoid low stall in btrfs_commit_transaction()

From: Qu Wenruo <hidden>

Subsystem: btrfs file system, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Chris Mason, David Sterba, Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

Btrfs qgroup has a long history of bringing performance penalty in
btrfs_commit_transaction().

Although we tried our best to migrate such impact, there is still a
unsolved call site, btrfs_drop_snapshot().

This function will find the highest shared tree block and modify its
extent ownership to do a subvolume/snapshot dropping.

Such change will affect the whole subtree, and cause tons of qgroup
dirty extents and stall btrfs_commit_transaction().

To avoid such problem, we can simply skip such subtree accounting if
it's too high.
Of course, the cost is to mark qgroup inconsistent.
