Whenever the check for a send in progress introduced in commit 521e0546c970 (btrfs: protect snapshots from deleting during send) is hit, we return without unlocking inode->i_mutex. This is easy to see with lockdep enabled: [ +0.000059] ================================================ [ +0.000028] [ BUG: lock held when returning to user space! ] [ +0.000029] 4.0.0-rc5-00096-g3c435c1 #93 Not tainted [ +0.000026] ------------------------------------------------ [ +0.000029] btrfs/211 is leaving the kernel with locks still held!
