Filipe Manana 23ffd7fc23 btrfs: do not abort transaction on failure to write log tree when syncing log 
commit 16199ad9eb upstream.

When syncing the log, if we fail to write log tree extent buffers, we mark
the log for a full commit and abort the transaction. However we don't need
to abort the transaction, all we really need to do is to make sure no one
can commit a superblock pointing to new log tree roots. Just because we
got a failure writing extent buffers for a log tree, it does not mean we
will also fail to do a transaction commit.

One particular case is if due to a bug somewhere, when writing log tree
extent buffers, the tree checker detects some corruption and the writeout
fails because of that. Aborting the transaction can be very disruptive for
a user, specially if the issue happened on a root filesystem. One example
is the scenario in the Link tag below, where an isolated corruption on log
tree leaves was causing transaction aborts when syncing the log.

README 

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.
