From d4edf39bd5db443151efc993dac67ec9d6b5b8c1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Miao Xie Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2013 09:17:06 +0000 Subject: Btrfs: fix uncompleted transaction In some cases, we need commit the current transaction, but don't want to start a new one if there is no running transaction, so we introduce the function - btrfs_attach_transaction(), which can catch the current transaction, and return -ENOENT if there is no running transaction. But no running transaction doesn't mean the current transction completely, because we removed the running transaction before it completes. In some cases, it doesn't matter. But in some special cases, such as freeze fs, we hope the transaction is fully on disk, it will introduce some bugs, for example, we may feeze the fs and dump the data in the disk, if the transction doesn't complete, we would dump inconsistent data. So we need fix the above problem for those cases. We fixes this problem by introducing a function: btrfs_attach_transaction_barrier() if we hope all the transaction is fully on the disk, even they are not running, we can use this function.
