Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: commit current transaction in btrfs_relocate_block_group
Date: Tue, 28 Jul 2026 08:45:36 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <a06b5077-baa5-473f-9c65-bf72ac651b14@mail.kernel.org> (raw)

From: Bartosz Chronowski <immersa.bartosz.chronowski@gmail.com>

During block group relocation, btrfs_relocate_block_group() is called to
relocate a block group. It first makes the block group read-only by calling
btrfs_inc_block_group_ro(). If there are pending space reservations or
pinned extents in the current transaction, making the block group read-only
can fail, leading to a transaction abort and a warning in
cleanup_transaction() during the transaction commit in
prepare_to_relocate().

To fix this, commit the current transaction before calling
btrfs_inc_block_group_ro() in btrfs_relocate_block_group(). This drains the
current transaction before the block group becomes read-only, ensuring that
pending extents are unpinned and space reservations are committed. This
does not claim global settlement of every reservation or later transaction,
but it provides a clean state for marking the block group read-only. The
setup commit in prepare_to_relocate() remains necessary because it commits
the transaction started during the relocation setup (such as creating the
reloc tree) to ensure everything is in a consistent state before starting
to move extents.
