The root cause of the assertion failure is that xfs_defer_finish doesn't
roll the transaction after processing all the deferred items.  Therefore
it returns a dirty transaction to the caller, which leaves the caller at
risk of exceeding the transaction reservation if it logs more items.

Brian Foster's patchset to move the defer_ops firstblock into the
transaction requires t_firstblock == NULLFSBLOCK upon defer_ops
initialization, which is how this was noticed at all.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
