At qgroup.c:try_flush_qgroup() we are asserting that current->journal_info is either NULL or has the value BTRFS_SEND_TRANS_STUB. However allowing for BTRFS_SEND_TRANS_STUB makes no sense because: 1) It is misleading, because send operations are read-only and do not ever need to reserve qgroup space; 2) We already assert that current->journal_info != BTRFS_SEND_TRANS_STUB at transaction.c:start_transaction(); 3) On a kernel without CONFIG_BTRFS_ASSERT=y set, it would result in a crash if try_flush_qgroup() is ever called in a send context, because at transaction.c:start_transaction we cast current->journal_info into a struct btrfs_trans_handle pointer and then dereference it. So just do allow a send context at try_flush_qgroup() and update the comment about it.

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.
