Naohiro Aota c19bd0d897 btrfs: zoned: enable metadata over-commit for non-ZNS setup
[ Upstream commit 85e79ec7b7 ]

The commit 79417d040f ("btrfs: zoned: disable metadata overcommit for
zoned") disabled the metadata over-commit to track active zones properly.

However, it also introduced a heavy overhead by allocating new metadata
block groups and/or flushing dirty buffers to release the space
reservations. Specifically, a workload (write only without any sync
operations) worsen its performance from 343.77 MB/sec (v5.19) to 182.89
MB/sec (v6.0).

The performance is still bad on current misc-next which is 187.95 MB/sec.
And, with this patch applied, it improves back to 326.70 MB/sec (+73.82%).

This patch introduces a new fs_info->flag BTRFS_FS_NO_OVERCOMMIT to
indicate it needs to disable the metadata over-commit. The flag is enabled
when a device with max active zones limit is loaded into a file-system.

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.
