[BUG]
When quota is enabled for TEST_DEV, generic/013 sometimes fails like this:
generic/013 14s ... _check_dmesg: something found in dmesg (see xfstests-dev/results//generic/013.dmesg)
And with the following metadata leak:
BTRFS warning (device dm-3): qgroup 0/1370 has unreleased space, type 2 rsv 49152

BTRFS error (device dm-3): qgroup reserved space leaked
BTRFS info (device dm-3): disk space caching is enabled
BTRFS info (device dm-3): has skinny extents
[CAUSE]
The qgroup preallocated meta rsv operations of that offending root are:
btrfs_delayed_inode_reserve_metadata: rsv_meta_prealloc root=1370 num_bytes=131072
btrfs_delayed_inode_reserve_metadata: rsv_meta_prealloc root=1370 num_bytes=131072
btrfs_subvolume_reserve_metadata: rsv_meta_prealloc root=1370 num_bytes=49152
btrfs_delayed_inode_release_metadata: convert_meta_prealloc root=1370 num_bytes=-131072
btrfs_delayed_inode_release_metadata: convert_meta_prealloc root=1370 num_bytes=-131072
It's pretty obvious that, we reserve qgroup meta rsv in
btrfs_subvolume_reserve_metadata(), but doesn't have corresponding
release/convert calls in btrfs_subvolume_release_metadata().
This leads to the leakage.
[FIX]
To fix this bug, we should follow what we're doing in
btrfs_delalloc_reserve_metadata(), where we reserve qgroup space, and
add it to block_rsv->qgroup_rsv_reserved.
And free the qgroup reserved metadata space when releasing the
block_rsv.
To do this, we need to change the btrfs_subvolume_release_metadata() to
accept btrfs_root, and record the qgroup_to_release number, and call
btrfs_qgroup_convert_reserved_meta() for it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
