At btrfs_cow_block() we have these checks to verify we are not using a stale transaction (a past transaction with an unblocked state or higher), and the only thing we do is to trigger a WARN with a message and a stack trace. This however is a critical problem, highly unexpected and if it happens it's most likely due to a bug, so we should error out and turn the fs into error state so that such issue is much more easily noticed if it's triggered. The problem is critical because using such stale transaction will lead to not persisting the extent buffer used for the COW operation, as allocating a tree block adds the range of the respective extent buffer to the ->dirty_pages iotree of the transaction, and a stale transaction, in the unlocked state or higher, will not flush dirty extent buffers anymore, therefore resulting in not persisting the tree block and resource leaks (not cleaning the dirty_pages iotree for example). So do the following changes: 1) Return -EUCLEAN if we find a stale transaction; 2) Turn the fs into error state, with error -EUCLEAN, so that no transaction can be committed, and generate a stack trace; 3) Combine both conditions into a single if statement, as both are related and have the same error message; 4) Mark the check as unlikely, since this is not expected to ever happen.
