Often when starting a transaction we commit the currently running transaction,
which can end up writing block group caches when the current process has its
journal_info set to NULL (and not to a transaction). This makes our assertion
at btrfs_check_data_free_space() (current_journal != NULL) fail, resulting
in a crash/hang. Therefore fix it by setting journal_info.

Two different traces of this issue follow below.

V2: Removed test for current->journal_info == NULL. At this point it's
    always expected to be NULL.

Let me clarify my understanding since I'm not good at the transaction code.

* What is the route cause?

   When start_transaction() is called with current->journal_transaction == NULL,
   we hit BUG() in the following path.

   start_transaction
     -> btrfs_commit_transaction
       -> commit_cowonly_roots
         -> update_cowonly_root
           -> btrfs_write_dirty_block_groups
             -> cache_save_setup
               -> btrfs_check_data_free_space
                  ASSERT(current->journal_info) # it fails and hits BUG()!

* Why NULL check is not necessary?

fs/btrfs/transaction.c:
===============================================================================
start_transaction(...) {
         if (current->journal_info &&
             current->journal_info != (void *)BTRFS_SEND_TRANS_STUB) {
                 ...
                 goto got_it;
===============================================================================
    
   To begin with, if current->journal_info == BTRFS_SEND_TRANS_STUB,
   start_transaction() should not be called. Filipe's another patch
   ([PATCH] Btrfs: assert send doesn't attempt to start) is to change
   the second condition to ASSERT().

   If current->journal_transaction is a "real" transaction, the
   above-mentioned code path is skipped because of "goto got_it".

Is my understanding correct?

BTW, Filipe, although I've tried to reproduce this problem for two days
by running xfstests loop, it didn't happen yet with my environment ;-(
So all I can do seems to be code review.

Thanks,
Satoru

Yes, you are right.
And only JOIN/JOIN_NOLOCK can join the current transaction handle, the others is
forbidden.
