From here it may have to look up a root from an indirect ref, which does a normal lookup on the tree_root, which takes the read lock on the tree_root nodes. To fix this we need to add a variant for looking up roots that searches the commit root of the tree_root. Then when we do the backref search using the commit root we are sure to not take any locks on the tree_root nodes. This gets rid of the lockdep splat when running btrfs/104.

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.
