Liu Bo 5c9d028b3b Btrfs: delayed-refs: use rb_first_cached for href_root
rb_first_cached() trades an extra pointer "leftmost" for doing the same
job as rb_first() but in O(1).

Functions manipulating href_root need to get the first entry, this
converts href_root to use rb_first_cached().

This patch is first in the sequenct of similar updates to other rbtrees
and this is analysis of the expected behaviour and improvements.

There's a common pattern:

while (node = rb_first) {
        entry = rb_entry(node)
        next = rb_next(node)
        rb_erase(node)
        cleanup(entry)
}

rb_first needs to traverse the tree up to logN depth, rb_erase can
completely reshuffle the tree. With the caching we'll skip the traversal
in rb_first.  That's a cached memory access vs looped pointer
dereference trade-off that IMHO has a clear winner.

Measurements show there's not much difference in a sample tree with
10000 nodes: 4.5s / rb_first and 4.8s / rb_first_cached. Real effects of
caching and pointer chasing are unpredictable though.

Further optimzations can be done to avoid the expensive rb_erase step.
In some cases it's ok to process the nodes in any order, so the tree can
be traversed in post-order, not rebalancing the children nodes and just
calling free. Care must be taken regarding the next node.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
