The way we add new roots is confusing from a locking perspective for lockdep. We generally have the rule that we lock things in order from highest level to lowest, but in the case of adding a new level to the tree we actually allocate a new block for the root, which makes the locking go in reverse. A similar issue exists for snapshotting, we cow the original root for the root of a new tree, however they're at the same level. Address this by using BTRFS_NESTING_NEW_ROOT for these operations.

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.
