This patch series adds support for async buffered writes when using both btrfs and io-uring. Currently io-uring only supports buffered writes (for btrfs) in the slow path, by processing them in the io workers. With this patch series it is now possible to support buffered writes in the fast path. To be able to use the fast path, the required pages must be in the page cache, the required locks in btrfs can be granted immediately and no additional blocks need to be read form disk. This patch series makes use of the changes that have been introduced by a previous patch series: "io-uring/xfs: support async buffered writes" Performance results: The new patch improves throughput by over two times (compared to the exiting behavior, where buffered writes are processed by an io-worker process) and also the latency is considerably reduced. Detailled results are part of the changelog of the first commit. BTRFS changes: -Add option for NOWAIT IOCB's to tell that searches do not wait on locks. This adds the nowait option to btrfs_path. -For NOWAIT buffered writes on PREALLOC or NOCOW extents tell can_nocow_extent() that we don't want to wait on any locks or metadata IO. -Support no_flush reservations for nowait buffered writes. -Add btrfs_try_lock_ordered_range() function. -Add nowait flag to btrfs_check_nocow_lock() to use it in write code path. -Add nowait parameter to prepare_pages() function. -Plumb nowait through the write code path. -Enable nowait buffered writes. Testing: This patch has been tested with xfstests, fsx, fio. xfstests shows no new diffs compared to running without the patch series. Changes: V3: - Updated changelog of "btrfs: implement a nowait option for tree searches" to say -EAGAIN. - Use bool return value in signature of btrfs_try_lock_ordered_range - Renamed variable tmp to can_nocow in btrfs_buffered_write - Fixed coding style in get_prepare_fgp_flags - Set pages[i] to NULL in error code path of lock_and_cleanup_extent_if_need() - Added const in definition of "bool nowait" - Removed unlikely from btrfs_buffered_write - Rephrased changelog for "btrfs: add assert to search functions" and used asserts instead of warnings - Explained why enocded writes are not supported in the changelog - Moved performance results to changelog of first commit V2: - Replace EWOULDBLOCK with EAGAIN. In Version 1 it was not used consistently - Export function balance_dirty_pages_ratelimited_flags() - Add asserts/warnings for search functions when nowait is set, but we don't expect that they are invoked with nowait set.
