Instead of inserting the new file extent item if we deleted existing
file extent items covering our target file range, also allow to insert
the new file extent item if we didn't find any existing items to delete
and replace_extent != 0, since in this case our caller would do another
tree search to insert the new file extent item anyway, therefore just
combine the two tree searches into a single one, saving cpu time, reducing
lock contention and reducing btree node/leaf COW operations.
This covers the case where applications keep doing tail append writes to
files, which for example is the case of Apache CouchDB (its database and
view index files are always open with O_APPEND).
(I'm tracking a bug which is very hard to reproduce and the stack seems to
locate on this area.)
Even I know that this has been merged, I still have to say that this just
makes the code nearly hard-to-maintained.
__btrfs_drop_extents() has already been one of the most complex function since
it was written, but now it's become more and more complex!
I'm not sure whether the gained performance number deserves that kind of
complexity, man, to be honest, try to ask yourself how much time you'll spend in
re-understanding the code and all the details.

re-understanding the code and all the details.
The changes (this and the previous one mentioned in the change log)
essentially only add an if statement at the end of the function, which
has useful comments describing its purpose. It didn't change the logic
in the big while loop, which is/was basically the whole function, that
does the work of processing extent items and deleting them.
Therefore I disagree that it added such huge amount of complexity.
Thanks, and sorry for the debugging frustration you are going through.
