commit ae5e070eaca9dbebde3459dd8f4c2756f8c097d0 upstream. There is a chance of racing for qgroup flushing which may lead to deadlock: Thread A | Thread B (not holding trans handle) | (holding a trans handle) --------------------------------+-------------------------------- __btrfs_qgroup_reserve_meta() | __btrfs_qgroup_reserve_meta() |- try_flush_qgroup() | |- try_flush_qgroup() |- QGROUP_FLUSHING bit set | | | | |- test_and_set_bit() | | |- wait_event() |- btrfs_join_transaction() | |- btrfs_commit_transaction()| !!! DEAD LOCK !!! Since thread A wants to commit transaction, but thread B is holding a transaction handle, blocking the commit. At the same time, thread B is waiting for thread A to finish its commit. This is just a hot fix, and would lead to more EDQUOT when we're near the qgroup limit. The proper fix would be to make all metadata/data reservations happen without holding a transaction handle.

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.
