commit 72bd2323ec87722c115a5906bc6a1b31d11e8f54 upstream.
Currently when we fail to COW a path at btrfs_update_root() we end up always aborting the transaction. However all the current callers of btrfs_update_root() are able to deal with errors returned from it, many do end up aborting the transaction themselves (directly or not, such as the transaction commit path), other BUG_ON() or just gracefully cancel whatever they were doing.
When syncing the fsync log, we call btrfs_update_root() through tree-log.c:update_log_root(), and if it returns an -ENOSPC error, the log sync code does not abort the transaction, instead it gracefully handles the error and returns -EAGAIN to the fsync handler, so that it falls back to a transaction commit. Any other error different from -ENOSPC, makes the log sync code abort the transaction.
So remove the transaction abort from btrfs_update_log() when we fail to COW a path to update the root item, so that if an -ENOSPC failure happens we avoid aborting the current transaction and have a chance of the fsync succeeding after falling back to a transaction commit.
