Could you try the following patch? http://marc.info/?l=linux-btrfs&m=135175512030453&w=2 I think the patch Btrfs: set journal_info in async trans commit worker is not the real reason that caused the regression. I guess it is caused by the bug of the reservation. When we join the same transaction handle more than 2 times, the pointer of the reservation in the transaction handle would be lost, and the statistical data in the reservation would be corrupted. And then we would trigger the space flush, which may block your tasks.
