[ Upstream commit 686c4a5a42635e0d2889e3eb461c554fd0b616b4 ]
Qgroup heavily relies on ulist to go through all the involved
qgroups, but since we're using ulist inside fs_info->qgroup_lock
spinlock, this means we're doing a lot of GFP_ATOMIC allocations.
This patch reduces the GFP_ATOMIC usage for qgroup_reserve() by
eliminating the memory allocation completely.
This is done by moving the needed memory to btrfs_qgroup::iterator
list_head, so that we can put all the involved qgroup into a on-stack
list, thus eliminating the need to allocate memory while holding
spinlock.
The only cost is the slightly higher memory usage, but considering the
reduce GFP_ATOMIC during a hot path, it should still be acceptable.
Function qgroup_reserve() is the perfect start point for this
conversion.

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.
