    Btrfs: fix uncompleted transaction · d4edf39b
    Miao Xie 提交于
    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.
