The transaction is only able to free PERTRANS reservations for a root once that root has been recorded with the TRANS tag on the roots radix tree. Therefore, until we are sure that this root will get tagged, it isn't safe to convert. Generally, this is not an issue as *some* transaction will likely tag the root before long and this reservation will get freed in that transaction, but technically it could stick around until unmount and result in a warning about leaked metadata reservation space. This path is most exercised by running the generic/269 fstest with CONFIG_BTRFS_DEBUG.

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.
