We first hit the WARN_ON(rc->block_group->pinned > 0) in
btrfs_relocate_block_group() and then the BUG_ON(!cache) in
unpin_extent_range(). This tells us that we are exiting relocation and
removing the block group with bytes still pinned for that block group.
This is supposed to be impossible: the last thing relocate_block_group()
does is commit the transaction to get rid of pinned extents.

Commit d0c2f4fa55 ("btrfs: make concurrent fsyncs wait less when
waiting for a transaction commit") introduced an optimization so that
commits from fsync don't have to wait for the previous commit to unpin
extents. This was only intended to affect fsync, but it inadvertently
made it possible for any commit to skip waiting for the previous commit
to unpin. This is because if a call to btrfs_commit_transaction() finds
that another thread is already committing the transaction, it waits for
the other thread to complete the commit and then returns. If that other
thread was in fsync, then it completes the commit without completing the
previous commit. This makes the following sequence of events possible:

Thread 1____________________|Thread 2 (fsync)_____________________|Thread 3 (balance)___________________
btrfs_commit_transaction(N) |                                     |

      block group, so we BUG|                                     |

There are other sequences involving SUPER_COMMITTED transactions that
can cause a similar outcome.

We could fix this by making relocation explicitly wait for unpinning,
but there may be other cases that need it. Josef mentioned ENOSPC
flushing and the free space cache inode as other potential victims.
Rather than playing whack-a-mole, this fix is conservative and makes all
commits not in fsync wait for all previous transactions, which is what
the optimization intended.

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.
