While testing my error handling patches, I added a error injection site
at btrfs_inc_extent_ref, to validate the error handling I added was
doing the correct thing. However I hit a pretty ugly corruption while
doing this check, with the following error injection stack trace:
btrfs_inc_extent_ref
btrfs_copy_root
create_reloc_root
btrfs_init_reloc_root
btrfs_record_root_in_trans
btrfs_start_transaction
btrfs_update_inode
btrfs_update_time
touch_atime
file_accessed
btrfs_file_mmap
This is because we do not catch the error from btrfs_inc_extent_ref,
which in practice would be ENOMEM, which means we lose the extent
references for a root that has already been allocated and inserted,
which is the problem. Fix this by aborting the transaction if we fail
to do the reference modification.

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.
