This reverts commit 48a89bc4f2ceab87bc858a8eb189636b09c846a7. The idea to commit transaction and free some space after hitting qgroup limit is good, although the problem is it can easily cause deadlocks. One deadlock example is caused by trying to flush data while still holding it: Call Trace: __schedule+0x49d/0x10f0 schedule+0xc6/0x290 schedule_timeout+0x187/0x1c0 wait_for_completion+0x204/0x3a0 btrfs_wait_ordered_extents+0xa40/0xaf0 [btrfs] qgroup_reserve+0x913/0xa10 [btrfs] btrfs_qgroup_reserve_data+0x3ef/0x580 [btrfs] btrfs_check_data_free_space+0x96/0xd0 [btrfs] __btrfs_buffered_write+0x3ac/0xd40 [btrfs] btrfs_file_write_iter+0x62a/0xba0 [btrfs] __vfs_write+0x320/0x430 vfs_write+0x107/0x270 SyS_write+0xbf/0x150 do_syscall_64+0x1b0/0x3d0 entry_SYSCALL64_slow_path+0x25/0x25 Another can be caused by trying to commit one transaction while nesting with trans handle held by ourselves: btrfs_start_transaction() |- btrfs_qgroup_reserve_meta_pertrans() |- qgroup_reserve() |- btrfs_join_transaction() |- btrfs_commit_transaction() The retry is causing more problems than exppected when limit is enabled. At least a graceful EDQUOT is way better than deadlock. Signed-off-by: Qu Wenruo <wqu@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
