This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled Btrfs: re-add root to dead root list if we stop dropping it to the linux-3.5.y-queue branch of the 3.5.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.5.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.5.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 40de2332062ada6679c390502aadd852f156d786 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josef Bacik <jbacik@fusionio.com> Date: Wed, 17 Jul 2013 19:30:20 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: re-add root to dead root list if we stop dropping it commit d29a9f629e009c9b90e5859bce581070fd6247fc upstream. If we stop dropping a root for whatever reason we need to add it back to the dead root list so that we will re-start the dropping next transaction commit. The other case this happens is if we recover a drop because we will add a root without adding it to the fs radix tree, so we can leak it's root and commit root extent buffer, adding this to the dead root list makes this cleanup happen.
