When using the NO_HOLES feature and expanding the size of an inode, we
update the inode's last_trans, last_sub_trans and last_log_commit fields
at maybe_insert_hole() so that a fsync does know that the inode needs to
be logged (by making sure that btrfs_inode_in_log() returns false). This
happens for expanding truncate operations, buffered writes, direct IO
writes and when cloning extents to an offset greater than the inode's
i_size.
However the way we do it is racy, because in between setting the inode's
last_sub_trans and last_log_commit fields, the log transaction ID that was
assigned to last_sub_trans might be committed before we read the root's
last_log_commit and assign that value to last_log_commit. If that happens
it would make a future call to btrfs_inode_in_log() return true. This is
a race that should be extremely unlikely to be hit in practice, and it is
the same that was described by commit

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.
