Filipe Manana 0e6ec385b5 Btrfs: allow clear_extent_dirty() to receive a cached extent state record
We can have a lot freed extents during the life span of transaction, so
the red black tree that keeps track of the ranges of each freed extent
(fs_info->freed_extents[]) can get quite big. When finishing a
transaction commit we find each range, process it (discard the extents,
unpin them) and then remove it from the red black tree.

We can use an extent state record as a cache when searching for a range,
so that when we clean the range we can use the cached extent state we
passed to the search function instead of iterating the red black tree
again. Doing things as fast as possible when finishing a transaction (in
state TRANS_STATE_UNBLOCKED) is convenient as it reduces the time we
block another task that wants to commit the next transaction.

So change clear_extent_dirty() to allow an optional extent state record to
be passed as an argument, which will be passed down to __clear_extent_bit.

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.
