    bcache: btree locking rework · 2a285686
    Kent Overstreet 提交于
    Add a new lock, b->write_lock, which is required to actually modify - or write -
    a btree node; this lock is only held for short durations.
    
    This means we can write out a btree node without taking b->lock, which _is_ held
    for long durations - solving a deadlock when btree_flush_write() (from the
    journalling code) is called with a btree node locked.
    
    Right now just occurs in bch_btree_set_root(), but with an upcoming journalling
    rework is going to happen a lot more.
    
    This also turns b->lock is now more of a read/intent lock instead of a
    read/write lock - but not completely, since it still blocks readers. May turn it
    into a real intent lock at some point in the future.
