This is true for data reservation and mostly true for metadata. Since data space reservation always happens before we start a transaction, and for most metadata operation we reserve space in start_transaction(). But there is an exception, btrfs_delayed_inode_reserve_metadata(). It holds a transaction handle, while still trying to reserve extra metadata space. When we hit EDQUOT inside btrfs_delayed_inode_reserve_metadata(), we will join current transaction and commit, while we still have transaction handle from qgroup code. [FIX] Let's check current->journal before we join the transaction. If current->journal is unset or BTRFS_SEND_TRANS_STUB, it means we are not holding a transaction, thus are able to join and then commit transaction. If current->journal is a valid transaction handle, we avoid committing transaction and just end it This is less effective than committing current transaction, as it won't free metadata reserved space, but we may still free some data space before new data writes.
