Hello Miao Xie,

The patch e87ac1368700: "Btrfs: don't start the log transaction if
the log tree init fails" from Feb 20, 2014, leads to the following
static checker warning:

        fs/btrfs/tree-log.c:178 start_log_trans()
        warn: we tested 'root->log_root' before and it was 'false'

fs/btrfs/tree-log.c
   147          if (root->log_root) {

We test "root->log_root" here.

   148                  if (btrfs_need_log_full_commit(root->fs_info, trans)) {
   149                          ret = -EAGAIN;
   150                          goto out;
   151                  }
   152                  if (!root->log_start_pid) {
   153                          root->log_start_pid = current->pid;
   154                          clear_bit(BTRFS_ROOT_MULTI_LOG_TASKS, 
&root->state);
   155                  } else if (root->log_start_pid != current->pid) {
   156                          set_bit(BTRFS_ROOT_MULTI_LOG_TASKS, 
&root->state);
   157                  }
   158  
   159                  atomic_inc(&root->log_batch);
   160                  atomic_inc(&root->log_writers);
   161                  if (ctx) {
   162                          index = root->log_transid % 2;
   163                          list_add_tail(&ctx->list, 
&root->log_ctxs[index]);
   164                          ctx->log_transid = root->log_transid;
   165                  }
   166                  mutex_unlock(&root->log_mutex);
   167                  return 0;
   168          }
   169  
   170          ret = 0;
   171          mutex_lock(&root->fs_info->tree_log_mutex);
   172          if (!root->fs_info->log_root_tree)
   173                  ret = btrfs_init_log_root_tree(trans, root->fs_info);
   174          mutex_unlock(&root->fs_info->tree_log_mutex);
   175          if (ret)
   176                  goto out;
   177  
   178          if (!root->log_root) {

Couldn't we just remove this condition here?  This is a new Smatch thing
I am working on and I am investigating false positives.

   179                  ret = btrfs_add_log_tree(trans, root);
   180                  if (ret)
   181                          goto out;
   182          }

regards,
dan carpenter
