This function is used only during the final phase of freespace cache
writeout. This is necessary since using the plain btrfs_join_transaction
api is deadlock prone. The deadlock looks like:
T1:
btrfs_commit_transaction
commit_cowonly_roots
btrfs_write_dirty_block_groups
btrfs_wait_cache_io
__btrfs_wait_cache_io
btrfs_wait_ordered_range <-- Triggers ordered IO for freespace
inode and blocks transaction commit
until freespace cache writeout
T2: <-- after T1 has triggered the writeout
finish_ordered_fn
btrfs_finish_ordered_io
btrfs_join_transaction <--- this would block waiting for current
transaction to commit, but since trans
commit is waiting for this writeout to
finish
The special purpose functions prevents it by simply skipping the "wait
for writeout" since it's guaranteed the transaction won't proceed until
we are done.

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.
