    Btrfs: implement unlocked dio write · 38851cc1
    Miao Xie authored
    This idea is from ext4. By this patch, we can make the dio write parallel,
    and improve the performance. But because we can not update isize without
    i_mutex, the unlocked dio write just can be done in front of the EOF.
    
    We needn't worry about the race between dio write and truncate, because the
    truncate need wait untill all the dio write end.
    
    And we also needn't worry about the race between dio write and punch hole,
    because we have extent lock to protect our operation.
    
    I ran fio to test the performance of this feature.
