At inode.c:cow_file_range_inline(), after we insert the inline extent
in the fs/subvolume btree, we call btrfs_drop_extent_cache() to drop
all extent maps in the file range, however that is not necessary because
we have already done it in the call to btrfs_drop_extents(), which calls
btrfs_drop_extent_cache() for us, and since at this point we have the file
range locked in the inode's iotree (we are in the writeback path), we know
no other task can come in and read stale file extent items or find none
and therefore create either stale extent maps or an extent map that
represents a hole.
So just remove that unnecessary call to btrfs_drop_extent_cache(), as it's
doing nothing and only wasting time. This call has been around since 2008,

README
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.
