One of the last steps of syncing the log is to remove all log contexts from the root's list of contexts, done at btrfs_remove_all_log_ctxs(). There we iterate over all the contexts in the list and delete each one from the list, and after that we call INIT_LIST_HEAD() on the list. That is unnecessary since at that point the list is empty. So just remove the INIT_LIST_HEAD() call. It's not needed, increases code size (bloat-o-meter reported a delta of -122 for btrfs_sync_log() after this change) and increases two critical sections delimited by log mutexes.

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.
