btrfs_start_transaction reserves metadata space of the PERTRANS type
before it identifies a transaction to start/join. This allows flushing
when reserving that space without a deadlock. However, it results in a
race which temporarily breaks qgroup rsv accounting.

start_transaction
do_stuff
start_transaction
qgroup_reserve_meta_pertrans
commit_transaction
qgroup_free_meta_all_pertrans
hit an error starting txn
goto reserve_fail
qgroup_free_meta_pertrans (already freed!)
The basic issue is that there is nothing preventing another commit from
committing before start_transaction finishes (in fact sometimes we
intentionally wait for it) so any error path that frees the reserve is
at risk of this race.
While this exact space was getting freed anyway, and it's not a huge
deal to double free it (just a warning, the free code catches this), it
can result in incorrectly freeing some other pertrans reservation in
this same reservation, which could then lead to spuriously granting
reservations we might not have the space for. Therefore, I do believe it
is worth fixing.
To fix it, use the existing prealloc->pertrans conversion mechanism.
When we first reserve the space, we reserve prealloc space and only when
we are sure we have a transaction do we convert it to pertrans. This way
any racing commits do not blow away our reservation, but we still get a
pertrans reservation that is freed when _this_ transaction gets committed.
This issue can be reproduced by running generic/269 with either qgroups
or squotas enabled via mkfs on the scratch device.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
