When doing a NOWAIT direct IO write we are checking twice if we can COW into the target file range using can_nocow_extent() - once at the very beginning of the write path, at btrfs_write_check() via check_nocow_nolock(), and later again at btrfs_get_blocks_direct_write(). The can_nocow_extent() function does a lot of expensive things - searching for the file extent item in the inode's subvolume tree, searching for the extent item in the extent tree, checking delayed references, etc, so it isn't a very cheap call. We can remove the first check at btrfs_write_check(), and add there a quick check to verify if the inode has the NODATACOW or PREALLOC flags, and quickly bail out if it doesn't have neither of those flags, as that means we have to COW and therefore can't comply with the NOWAIT semantics. After this we do only one call to can_nocow_extent(), while we are at btrfs_get_blocks_direct_write(), where we have already locked the file range and we did a try lock on the range before, at btrfs_dio_iomap_begin() (since the previous patch in the series).
