Commit fe742fd4f90f ("Revert "btrfs: switch to -&gt;iterate_shared()"")
backed out the conversion to -&gt;iterate_shared() for Btrfs because the
delayed inode handling in btrfs_real_readdir() is racy. However, we can
still do readdir in parallel if there are no delayed nodes.

This is a temporary fix which upgrades the shared inode lock to an
exclusive lock only when we have delayed items until we come up with a
more complete solution. While we're here, rename the
btrfs_{get,put}_delayed_items functions to make it very clear that
they're just for readdir.

Tested with xfstests and by doing a parallel kernel build:

	while make tinyconfig &amp;&amp; make -j4 &amp;&amp; git clean dqfx; do
		:
	done

along with a bunch of parallel finds in another shell:

	while true; do
		for ((i=0; i&lt;4; i++)); do
			find . &gt;/dev/null &amp;
		done
		wait
	done

<title>btrfs: properly set the termination value of ctx-&gt;pos in readdir</title>

<id>bc4ef7592f657ae81b017207a1098817126ad4cb</id>
<content type='text'>
The value of ctx-&gt;pos in the last readdir call is supposed to be set to
INT_MAX due to 32bit compatibility, unless 'pos' is intentially set to a
larger value, then it's LLONG_MAX.

There's a report from PaX SIZE_OVERFLOW plugin that "ctx-&gt;pos++"
overflows (https://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&amp;t=4284), on a
64bit arch, where the value is 0x7fffffffffffffff ie. LLONG_MAX before
the increment.

We can get to that situation like that:

* emit all regular readdir entries
* still in the same call to readdir, bump the last pos to INT_MAX
* next call to readdir will not emit any entries, but will reach the
  bump code again, finds pos to be INT_MAX and sets it to LLONG_MAX

Normally this is not a problem, but if we call readdir again, we'll find
'pos' set to LLONG_MAX and the unconditional increment will overflow.

The report from Victor at
(http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.btrfs/49500) with debugging
print shows that pattern:

The jump from 7fffffff to 7fffffffffffffff happens when new dir entries
are not yet synced and are processed from the delayed list. Then the code
could go to the bump section again even though it might not emit any new
dir entries from the delayed list.

The fix avoids entering the "bump" section again once we've finished
emitting the entries, both for synced and delayed entries.

<title>Btrfs: introduce the delayed inode ref deletion for the single link inode</title>

The inode reference item is close to inode item, so we insert it simultaneously
with the inode item insertion when we create a file/directory.. In fact, we also
can handle the inode reference deletion by the same way. So we made this patch to
introduce the delayed inode reference deletion for the single link inode(At most
case, the file doesn't has hard link, so we don't take the hard link into account).

This function is based on the delayed inode mechanism. After applying this patch,
we can reduce the time of the file/directory deletion by ~10%.

The delayed inode code batches up changes to the btree in hopes of doing
them in bulk.  As the changes build up, processes kick off worker
threads and wait for them to make progress.

The current code kicks off an async work queue item for each delayed
node, which creates a lot of churn.  It also uses a fixed 1 HZ waiting
period for the throttle, which allows us to build a lot of pending
work and can slow down the commit.

This changes us to watch a sequence counter as it is bumped during the
operations.  We kick off fewer work items and have each work item do
more work.

We're running into having 50-100 orphans left over with xfstests 83
because of ENOSPC when trying to start the transaction for the inode update.
But in fact, it makes no sense in updating the inode for the new size while
we're deleting the stupid thing. This patch fixes this problem.

Those crazy gentoo guys have been complaining about ENOSPC errors on their
portage volumes.  This is because doing things like untar tends to create
lots of new files which will soak up all the reservation space in the
delayed inodes.  Usually this gets papered over by the fact that we will try
and commit the transaction, however if this happens in the wrong spot or we
choose not to commit the transaction you will be screwed.  So add the
ability to expclitly flush delayed inodes to free up space.  Please test
this out guys to make sure it works since as usual I cannot reproduce.
Thanks,
