If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Josef Bacik commit 30928e9baac238a7330085a1c5747f0b5df444b4 upstream. This could result in a really bad case where we do something like evict evict_refill_and_join btrfs_commit_transaction btrfs_run_delayed_iputs evict evict_refill_and_join btrfs_commit_transaction ... forever We have plenty of other places where we run delayed iputs that are much safer, let those do the work.
