Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: fix race during transaction joins
While we're allocating ram for a new transaction, we drop our spinlock.
When we get the lock back, we do check to see if a transaction started
while we slept, but we don't check to make sure it isn't blocked
because a commit has already started.
