Josef Bacik 3c4276936f Btrfs: fix btrfs_write_inode vs delayed iput deadlock 
We recently ran into the following deadlock involving
btrfs_write_inode():

Writeback calls:

btrfs_write_inode
  btrfs_commit_transaction
    btrfs_run_delayed_iputs

If iput() is called on that same inode, evict() will wait for writeback
forever.

btrfs_write_inode() was originally added way back in 4730a4bc5b
("btrfs_dirty_inode") to support O_SYNC writes. However, ->write_inode()
hasn't been used for O_SYNC since 148f948ba8 ("vfs: Introduce new
helpers for syncing after writing to O_SYNC file or IS_SYNC inode"), so
btrfs_write_inode() is actually unnecessary (and leads to a bunch of
unnecessary commits). Get rid of it, which also gets rid of the
deadlock.

README 

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

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.
