When btrfs_run_delalloc_range() failed, we will error out. But there is a strange comment mentioning that btrfs_run_delalloc_range() could have returned value >0 to indicate the IO has already started. Commit 40f765805f08 ("Btrfs: split up __extent_writepage to lower stack usage") introduced the comment, but unfortunately at that time, we were already using @page_started to indicate that case, and still return 0. Furthermore, even if that comment was right (which is not), we would return -EIO if the IO had already started. By all means the comment is incorrect, just remove the comment along with the dead check. Just to be extra safe, add an ASSERT() in btrfs_run_delalloc_range() to make sure we either return 0 or error, no positive return value.

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.
