Qu Wenruo 845cf1c769 btrfs: do not wait for short bulk allocation 
commit 1db7959aac upstream.

[BUG]
There is a recent report that when memory pressure is high (including
cached pages), btrfs can spend most of its time on memory allocation in
btrfs_alloc_page_array() for compressed read/write.

[CAUSE]
For btrfs_alloc_page_array() we always go alloc_pages_bulk_array(), and
even if the bulk allocation failed (fell back to single page
allocation) we still retry but with extra memalloc_retry_wait().

If the bulk alloc only returned one page a time, we would spend a lot of
time on the retry wait.

The behavior was introduced in commit 395cb57e85 ("btrfs: wait between
incomplete batch memory allocations").

[FIX]
Although the commit mentioned that other filesystems do the wait, it's
not the case at least nowadays.

All the mainlined filesystems only call memalloc_retry_wait() if they
failed to allocate any page (not only for bulk allocation).
If there is any progress, they won't call memalloc_retry_wait() at all.

For example, xfs_buf_alloc_pages() would only call memalloc_retry_wait()
if there is no allocation progress at all, and the call is not for
metadata readahead.

So I don't believe we should call memalloc_retry_wait() unconditionally
for short allocation.

Call memalloc_retry_wait() if it fails to allocate any page for tree
block allocation (which goes with __GFP_NOFAIL and may not need the
special handling anyway), and reduce the latency for
btrfs_alloc_page_array().

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.
