H A Dctree.c5cd57b2c Wed Jun 25 15:01:30 CDT 2008 Chris Mason <chris.mason@oracle.com> Btrfs: Add a skip_locking parameter to struct path, and make various funcs honor it

Allocations may need to read in block groups from the extent allocation tree,
which will require a tree search and take locks on the extent allocation
tree. But, those locks might already be held in other places, leading
to deadlocks.

Since the alloc_mutex serializes everything right now, it is safe to
skip the btree locking while caching block groups. A better fix will be
to either create a recursive lock or find a way to back off existing
locks while caching block groups.
