We currently use lockdep_assert_held() at btrfs_assert_tree_locked(), and that checks that we hold a lock either in read mode or write mode. However in all contexts we use btrfs_assert_tree_locked(), we actually want to check if we are holding a write lock on the extent buffer's rw semaphore - it would be a bug if in any of those contexts we were holding a read lock instead. So change btrfs_assert_tree_locked() to use lockdep_assert_held_write() instead and, to make it more explicit, rename btrfs_assert_tree_locked() to btrfs_assert_tree_write_locked(), so that it's clear we want to check we are holding a write lock. For now there are no contexts where we want to assert that we must have a read lock, but in case that is needed in the future, we can add a new helper function that just calls out lockdep_assert_held_read().

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.
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.
