Subject: Btrfs: don't do async reclaim during log replay
From: Josef Bacik <jbacik@xxxxxx>
commit f6acfd50110b335c7af636cf1fc8e55319cae5fc upstream.
Trying to reproduce a log enospc bug I hit a panic in the async reclaim code
during log replay. This is because we use fs_info->fs_root as our root for
shrinking and such. Technically we can use whatever root we want, but let's
just not allow async reclaim while we're doing log replay. Thanks,
