When splitting a leaf or node from one of the trees that are modified when flushing pending block groups (extent, chunk, device and free space trees), we need to allocate a new tree block, which in turn can result in the need to allocate a new block group. After allocating the new block group we may need to flush new block groups that were previously allocated during the course of the current transaction, which is what may cause a deadlock due to attempts to write lock twice the same leaf or node, as when splitting a leaf or node we are holding a write lock on it and its parent node. The same type of deadlock can also happen when increasing the tree's height, since we are holding a lock on the existing root while allocating the tree block to use as the new root node. An example trace when the deadlock happens during the leaf split path is: [27175.293054] CPU: 0 PID: 3005 Comm: kworker/u17:6 Tainted: G W 4.19.16 #1 [27175.293942] Hardware name: Penguin Computing Relion 1900/MD90-FS0-ZB-XX, BIOS R15 06/25/2018 [27175.294846] Workqueue: btrfs-extent-refs btrfs_extent_refs_helper [btrfs] (...)

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.
