Commit 0e8c36a9fd81 ("Btrfs: fix lots of orphan inodes when the space
is not enough") changed the way transaction reservation is made in
btrfs_evict_node and as a result this function became unused. This has
been the status quo for 5 years in which time no one noticed, so I'd
say it's safe to assume it's unlikely it will ever be used again.
Historical note: there were more attempts to remove the function, the
reasoning was missing and only based on some static analysis tool
reports. Other reason for rejection was that there seemed to be
connection to BTRFS_RESERVE_FLUSH_LIMIT and that would need to be
removeed to. This was not correct so removing the function is all we can
do.

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.
