During the nocow writeback path, we currently iterate the rbtree of block groups twice: once for checking if the target block group is RO with the call to btrfs_extent_readonly()), and once again for getting a nocow reference on the block group with a call to btrfs_inc_nocow_writers(). Since btrfs_inc_nocow_writers() already returns false when the target block group is RO, remove the call to btrfs_extent_readonly(). Not only we avoid searching the blocks group rbtree twice, it also helps reduce contention on the lock that protects it (specially since it is a spin lock and not a read-write lock). That may make a noticeable difference on very large filesystems, with thousands of allocated block groups.

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.
