From: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> Date: Wed, 27 Apr 2016 01:03:45 +0200 Subject: btrfs: make state preallocation more speculative in __set_extent_bit From: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com> commit 059f791c6bbaba72dc3c1bd6e2657aacc8552849 upstream. Similar to __clear_extent_bit, do not fail if the state preallocation fails as we might not need it. One less BUG_ON.
