Delayed allocation ref mutexes are taken [1] inside btrfs_commit_transaction. A later call fails and jumps to the cleanup_transaction label (transaction.c:1501) with these mutexes still held causing deadlock [2] when they are reacquired.
Either we can introduce an earlier label (cleanup_transaction_lock) and function to unlock these mutexes or can tweak btrfs_destroy_delayed_refs to conditionally use mutex_try_lock. What is the suggested approach?
