Btrfs will report NO_SPACE when we create and remove files for several times:
1: Create a single-dev btrfs fs with default option
2: Write a file into it to take up most fs space
3: Delete above file
4: Wait about 100s to let chunk removed
5: goto 2

Script is like following:
 #!/bin/bash

 # Recommend 1.2G space, too large disk will make test slow
 DEV="/dev/sda16"
 MNT="/mnt/tmp"

 dev_size="$(lsblk -bn -o SIZE "$DEV")" || exit 2
 file_size_m=$((dev_size * 75 / 100 / 1024 / 1024))

 echo "Loop write ${file_size_m}M file on $((dev_size / 1024 / 1024))M dev"

 for ((i = 0; i < 10; i++)); do umount "$MNT" 2>/dev/null; done
 echo "mkfs $DEV"
 mkfs.btrfs -f "$DEV" >/dev/null || exit 2
 echo "mount $DEV $MNT"
 mount "$DEV" "$MNT" || exit 2

 for ((loop_i = 0; loop_i < 20; loop_i++)); do
     echo
     echo "loop $loop_i"

     echo "dd file..."
     cmd=(dd if=/dev/zero of="$MNT"/file0 bs=1M count="$file_size_m")
     "${cmd[@]}" 2>/dev/null || {
         # NO_SPACE error triggered
         echo "dd failed: ${cmd[*]}"
         exit 1
     }

     echo "rm file..."
     rm -f "$MNT"/file0 || exit 2

     for ((i = 0; i < 10; i++)); do
         df "$MNT" | tail -1
         sleep 10
     done
 done

Reason:
It is triggered by commit: 47ab2a6c689913db23ccae38349714edf8365e0a
which is used to remove empty block groups automatically, but the
reason is not in that patch. Code before works well because btrfs
don't need to create and delete chunks so many times with high
complexity.

Reason1:
 Btrfs get free disk space by calling find_free_dev_extent() when
 re-create chunk for write, but current code set search_commit_root
 flag in searching tree, so disk spaces which was freed from dev_tree
 but not commited can not get from find_free_dev_extent(), then
 btrfs report NO_SPACE on above case.
 Fixed by this patch.

Reason2:
 When we remove some continuous chunks but leave other chunks after,
 these disk space should be used by chunk-recreating, but in current
 code, only first create will successed.

Reason3:
 contains_pending_extent() return wrong value in calculation.

Changelog v1->v2:
 V1 will introduce a new bug when create a metadata bg in space of
 old data bg which was just removed, noticed by:

 V2 fix this bug by commit transaction after remove block grops.

Tested for severial times by above script.

Well it's not specific to reusing the space from a deleted metadata
block group for a new data block group. This is true for any other
combination, even "data -> data". When using COW for both metadata and
data, if a crash happens before the transaction commits, it is
guaranteed that all data and metadata committed in the previous
transaction are available on the next mount (and all new data in the
current transaction if it was fsync'ed) - this applies to any COW
system, be it a filesystem or a database for example.

At the very least, before doing the commit, you should verify if any
block groups were actually deleted - under some conditions we skip
their deletion in the loop. Plus, it would be good to check if the sum
of the sizes of the deleted block groups exceeds some minimum
threshold (lets say 1G or 2G, whatever), so that we don't get the
overhead of committing a transaction for little or no gains.

I would also consider doing the commit only if the fs is really
running out of free space or close to being out of free space.

You can get into many similar cases of space not being released until
the transaction commits.
For example, create 10 files with a size of 1Gb each (via fallocate
for e.g.), and then truncate them all to a size of 1M in the same
transaction for example. You'll get 999Mb * 10 of space that won't be
available for use until the current transaction commits - it's exactly
the same problem you found, it just doesn't imply deleting whole block
groups/chunks.

Yes, wil change above description.

Good suggestion, it can reduce useless committing.

Chunks are large enough in normal-size btrfs filesystem(size > 10G), or
worthed to be deleted in small-size filesystem, which have chunk
size <= 128M but large percent of total size.

And it is easy to trigger above problem in case that we ignore
deleting 128M chunks when fs is empty.

So I think always commit transaction when delete empty chunks
will make logic simple, but ... , see below.

Maybe the better way is to delay deleting-chunks.

The patch of "delete empty bgs" is used to fix problem that
"no space for allocate metadata chunks but data chunks are free".
It is to say, we only need to free data chunks when we have no space
for metadata(or conversely), and need not always delete free chunks.
Do delete-bg in allow_chunk() will be better.

But it is complex than current method, I want to avoid new bugs in rc,
to give users a stable version in 3.19.

This bug is more serious than above.

In my test, when NO_SPACE happened, we can not write into filesystem
forever(may be something with space_info->full), so I wish to solve it
before 3.19.
