While the spinlock does not cause problems, using the mutex is more correct and consistent with others. The global status of balance is eg. checked from btrfs_pause_balance or btrfs_cancel_balance with mutex. Resuming balance happens during mount or ro->rw remount. In the former case, no other user of the balance_ctl exists, in the latter, balance cannot run until the ro/rw transition is finished.

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.
