Dennis Zhou dfb79ddb13 btrfs: track discardable extents for async discard
The number of discardable extents will serve as the rate limiting metric
for how often we should discard. This keeps track of discardable extents
in the free space caches by maintaining deltas and propagating them to
the global count.

The deltas are calculated from 2 values stored in PREV and CURR entries,
then propagated up to the global discard ctl.  The current counter value
becomes the previous counter value after update.

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.
