Qu Wenruo 5d41be6f70 btrfs: Only check first key for committed tree blocks
When looping btrfs/074 with many cpus (>= 8), it's possible to trigger
kernel warning due to first key verification:

The problem here is, at btree_read_extent_buffer_pages() we don't have
acquired read/write lock on that extent buffer, only basic info like
level/bytenr is reliable.

So race condition leads to such false alert.

However in current call site, it's impossible to acquire proper lock
without race window.
To fix the problem, we only verify first key for committed tree blocks
(whose generation is no larger than fs_info->last_trans_committed), so
the content of such tree blocks will not change and there is no need to
get read/write lock.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
