Btrfs: avoid BUG when dropping root and reference in same transaction
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
If btrfs_ioctl_snap_destroy() deletes a snapshot but finishes
with end_transaction(), the cleaner kthread may come in and
drop the root in the same transaction.  If that's the case, the
root's refs still == 1 in the tree when btrfs_del_root() deletes
the item, because commit_fs_roots() hasn't updated it yet (that
happens during the commit).

This wasn't a problem before only because
btrfs_ioctl_snap_destroy() would commit the transaction before dropping
the dentry reference, so the dead root wouldn't get queued up until
after the fs root item was updated in the btree.

Since it is not an error to drop the root reference and the root in the
same transaction, just drop the BUG_ON() in btrfs_del_root().
