Btrfs uses 2 different methods to reseve metadata qgroup space.
1) Reserve at btrfs_start_transaction() time
This is quite straightforward, caller will use the trans handler
allocated to modify b-trees.
In this case, reserved metadata should be kept until qgroup numbers
are updated.
2) Reserve by using block_rsv first, and later btrfs_join_transaction()
This is more complicated, caller will reserve space using block_rsv
first, and then later call btrfs_join_transaction() to get a trans
handle.
In this case, before we modify trees, the reserved space can be
modified on demand, and after btrfs_join_transaction(), such reserved
space should also be kept until qgroup numbers are updated.
Since these two types behave differently, split the original "META"
reservation type into 2 sub-types:
META_PERTRANS:
For above case 1)
META_PREALLOC:
For reservations that happened before btrfs_join_transaction() of
case 2)
NOTE: This patch will only convert existing qgroup meta reservation
callers according to its situation, not ensuring all callers are at
correct timing.
Such fix will be added in later patches.

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.
