    Btrfs: make sure logged extents complete in the current transaction V3 · 50d9aa99

    Liu Bo pointed out that my previous fix would lose the generation update in the
    scenario I described.  It is actually much worse than that, we could lose the
    entire extent if we lose power right after the transaction commits.  Consider
    the following
    
    write extent 0-4k
    log extent in log tree
    commit transaction
    	< power fail happens here
    ordered extent completes
    
    We would lose the 0-4k extent because it hasn't updated the actual fs tree, and
    the transaction commit will reset the log so it isn't replayed.  If we lose
    power before the transaction commit we are save, otherwise we are not.
    
    Fix this by keeping track of all extents we logged in this transaction.  Then
    when we go to commit the transaction make sure we wait for all of those ordered
    extents to complete before proceeding.  This will make sure that if we lose
    power after the transaction commit we still have our data.  This also fixes the
    problem of the improperly updated extent generation.  Thanks,
