When flushing space and we are in the COMMIT_TRANS state, we join a transaction with btrfs_join_transaction() and then commit the returned transaction. However btrfs_join_transaction() starts a new transaction if there is none currently open, which is pointless since comitting a new, empty transaction, doesn't achieve anything, it only wastes time, IO and creates an unnecessary rotation of the backup roots. So use btrfs_attach_transaction_barrier() to avoid starting a new transaction. This also waits for any ongoing transaction that is committing (state >= TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_DOING) to fully complete, and therefore wait for all the extents that were pinned during the transaction's lifetime to be unpinned.

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.
