There's a short time window where a race can happen between two or more
tasks that hold a transaction handle for the same transaction and where
one starts the transaction commit before the other tasks attempt to
split their pending ordered extents list into the transaction's pending
ordered extents lists. This results in the transaction commit not waiting
for those ordered extents to complete, in memory leaks of ordered extent
structures and therefore inode leaks too, since an iput for the ordered
extent's inode is done only when the ordered extent's refcount drops to
zero. This race is described by the following sequence diagram:
CPU 1 CPU 2
btrfs_start_transaction()
started transaction N with
trans->transaction->num_writers == 1
and trans->transaction->state ==
TRANS_STATE_RUNNING
btrfs_sync_file()
btrfs_start_transaction()
--> returns transaction
handle pointing to
transaction N
--> Now transaction N's
num_writers == 2
btrfs_sync_log()
btrfs_commit_transaction()
btrfs_wait_pending_ordered()
--> transaction N's ->pending_ordered
processed and is now an empty list
set transaction state to TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_DOING
wait for trans->transaction->num_writers == 1
btrfs_wait_logged_extents()
--> adds ordered extents
to trans->ordered list
btrfs_end_transaction()
--> trans->ordered list is spliced
into transaction N's list
pending_ordered
--> transaction N's num_writers
becomes 1 now
wait finished, num_writers == 1
transaction is committed and it doesn't wait
for the ordered extents from CPU 2's task to
complete, nor does it decrement their last
reference, resulting in memory leaks and
inode leaks (the iput on the ordered extent's
inode is done only when the ordered extent's
refcount drops to zero)
So fix this by processing the transaction's pending_order list
after the number of writers decreases to 1.
I ran into this issue while running xfstests/generic/113 in a loop, which
failed about 1 out of 10 runs with the following warning in dmesg:

[ 2612.557253] VFS: Busy inodes after unmount of sdb. Self-destruct in 5 seconds. Have a nice day...
This happened because evict_inodes (VFS) skipped eviction of one inode
because that inode had an i_count > 0. This prevented btrfs_destroy_inode
from being called against that inode, and the non-zero i_count was because
one ordered extent didn't get its refcount dropped to 0, which is when a
delayed iput is scheduled for the inode. Kmemleak also complained about
this, namely the leak of the ordered extent structure and btrfs inode
specific structures, like the delayed inode:
