* Exclusive operations, BTRFS_FS_EXCL_OP
* ======================================
*
* Maintains the exclusivity of the following operations that apply to the
* whole filesystem and cannot run in parallel.
*
* - Balance (*)
* - Device add
* - Device remove
* - Device replace (*)
* - Resize
*
* The device operations (as above) can be in one of the following states:
*
* - Running state
* - Paused state
* - Completed state
*
* Only device operations marked with (*) can go into the Paused state for the
* following reasons:
*
* - ioctl (only Balance can be Paused through ioctl)
* - filesystem remounted as read-only
* - filesystem unmounted and mounted as read-only
* - system power-cycle and filesystem mounted as read-only
* - filesystem or device errors leading to forced read-only
*
* BTRFS_FS_EXCL_OP flag is set and cleared using atomic operations.
* During the course of Paused state, the BTRFS_FS_EXCL_OP remains set.
* A device operation in Paused or Running state can be canceled or resumed
* either by ioctl (Balance only) or when remounted as read-write.
* BTRFS_FS_EXCL_OP flag is cleared when the device operation is canceled or
* completed.
