In qgroup_rescan_leaf a copy is made of the target leaf by calling btrfs_clone_extent_buffer. The latter allocates a new buffer and attaches a new set of pages and copies the content of the source buffer. The new scratch buffer is only used to iterate it's items, it's not published anywhere and cannot be accessed by a third party. Hence, it's not necessary to perform any locking on it whatsoever. Furthermore, remove the extra extent_buffer_get call since the new buffer is always allocated with a reference count of 1 which is sufficient here. No functional changes.

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.
