    Btrfs: change how we indicate we're adding csums · 0e721106

    There is weird logic I had to put in place to make sure that when we were
    adding csums that we'd used the delalloc block rsv instead of the global
    block rsv.  Part of this meant that we had to free up our transaction
    reservation before we ran the delayed refs since csum deletion happens
    during the delayed ref work.  The problem with this is that when we release
    a reservation we will add it to the global reserve if it is not full in
    order to keep us going along longer before we have to force a transaction
    commit.  By releasing our reservation before we run delayed refs we don't
    get the opportunity to drain down the global reserve for the work we did, so
    we won't refill it as often.  This isn't a problem per-se, it just results
    in us possibly committing transactions more and more often, and in rare
    cases could cause those WARN_ON()'s to pop in use_block_rsv because we ran
    out of space in our block rsv.
    
    This also helps us by holding onto space while the delayed refs run so we
    don't end up with as many people trying to do things at the same time, which
    again will help us not force commits or hit the use_block_rsv warnings.
    Thanks,
