So it an error happened before, we still want to call
btrfs_end_transaction(), otherwise the transaction's refcount never
drops to 0 and its resources are never freed (memory).
Something like this:
if (ret)
btrfs_end_transaction(trans, root);
else
ret = btrfs_end_transaction(trans, root);
or
int ret2;
ret2 = btrfs_end_transaction(trans, root);
if (!ret)
ret = ret2;
Also don't forget to target your patches with V<number> and describe
and what changed between patch versions (see
https://btrfs.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Writing_patch_for_btrfs for
instructions about how to do it).
