A call to gf_backtrace_save() was done on each context switch of a synctask. The backtrace is generated writing to the filesystem, so it can have an important impact on latency. The generated backtrace was not used anywhere, so it's been removed. Change-Id: I399a93b932c5b6e981c696c72c3e1ef44710ba52 Updates: bz#1193929 Signed-off-by: Xavi Hernandez <xhernandez@redhat.com>

Testing
GlusterFS source contains some functional tests under tests/ directory. All
these tests are run against every patch submitted for review. If you want your
patch to be tested, please add a .t test file as part of your patch submission.
You can also submit a patch to only add a .t file for the test case you are
aware of.
To run these tests, on your test-machine, just run ./run-tests.sh. Don't run
this on a machine where you have 'production' glusterfs is running, as it would
blindly kill all gluster processes in each runs.
If you are sending a patch, and want to validate one or few specific tests, then run a single test by running the below command.
bash# /bin/bash ${path_to_gluster}/tests/basic/rpc-coverage.t

bash# prove -vmfe '/bin/bash' ${path_to_gluster}/tests/basic/rpc-coverage.t
