Commit 597:466b27332893 (btrfs_start_transaction: wait for commits in progress) breaks the transaction start/stop ioctls by making btrfs_start_transaction conditionally wait for the next transaction to start. If an application artificially is holding a transaction open, things deadlock. This workaround maintains a count of open ioctl-initiated transactions in fs_info, and avoids wait_current_trans() if any are currently open (in start_transaction() and btrfs_throttle()). The start transaction ioctl uses a new btrfs_start_ioctl_transaction() that _does_ call wait_current_trans(), effectively pushing the join/wait decision to the outer ioctl-initiated transaction. This more or less neuters btrfs_throttle() when ioctl-initiated transactions are in use, but that seems like a pretty fundamental consequence of wrapping lots of write()'s in a transaction. Btrfs has no way to tell if the application considers a given operation as part of it's transaction. Obviously, if the transaction start/stop ioctls aren't being used, there is no effect on current behavior.
