When flushing qgroups, we try to join a running transaction, with btrfs_join_transaction(), and then commit the transaction. However using btrfs_join_transaction() will result in creating a new transaction in case there isn't any running or if there's an existing one already committing. This is pointless as we only need to attach to an existing one that is not committing and in case there's an existing one committing, wait for its commit to complete. Creating and committing an empty transaction is wasteful, pointless IO and unnecessary rotation of the backup roots. So use btrfs_attach_transaction_barrier() instead, to avoid creating and committing empty transactions. Signed-off-by: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
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.
