When syncing the log, the final phase of a fsync operation, we need to
either create a log root's item or update the existing item in the log
tree of log roots, and that depends on the current value of the log
root's log_transid - if it's 1 we need to create the log root item,
otherwise it must exist already and we update it. Since there is no
synchronization between updating the log_transid and checking it for
deciding whether the log root's item needs to be created or updated, we
end up with a tiny race window that results in attempts to update the
item to fail because the item was not yet created:
CPU 1 CPU 2
btrfs_sync_log()
lock root->log_mutex
set log root's log_transid to 1
unlock root->log_mutex
btrfs_sync_log()
lock root->log_mutex
sets log root's
log_transid to 2
unlock root->log_mutex
update_log_root()
sees log root's log_transid
with a value of 2
calls btrfs_update_root(),
which fails with -EUCLEAN
and causes transaction abort
Until recently the race lead to a BUG_ON at btrfs_update_root(), but after
the recent commit

README
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.
