>From this warning, freeze_super() already holds SB_FREEZE_FS, but
btrfs_freeze() will call btrfs_commit_transaction() again, if
btrfs_commit_transaction() finds that it has delayed iputs to handle,
it'll start_transaction(), which will try to get SB_FREEZE_FS lock
again, then deadlock occurs.

The root cause is that in btrfs, sync_filesystem(sb) does not make
sure all metadata is updated. See below race window in freeze_super():
        sync_filesystem(sb);
                |
                | race window
                | In this period, cleaner_kthread() may be scheduled to
                | run, and it call btrfs_delete_unused_bgs() which will
                | add some delayed iputs.
                |
        sb->s_writers.frozen = SB_FREEZE_FS;
        sb_wait_write(sb, SB_FREEZE_FS);
        if (sb->s_op->freeze_fs) {
                /* freeze_fs will call btrfs_commit_transaction() */
                ret = sb->s_op->freeze_fs(sb);

So if btrfs is doing freeze job, we should block
btrfs_delete_unused_bgs(), to avoid add delayed iputs.

Extra line, but I think you intended to write a comment that explains
why the freeze protection is required here :)
Yes, but forgot to... :)

There's opencoding an existing wrapper sb_start_write, please use it
instead.
OK, I can submit a new version using this wrapper.
Also could you please have a look at my reply to Filipe Manana in
last mail? I suggest another solution, thanks.
