Filipe Manana 05aa024382 btrfs: remove pointless BUG_ON() when creating snapshot
When creating a snapshot we first check with btrfs_lookup_dir_item() if
there is a name collision in the parent directory and then return an error
if there's a collision. Then later on when trying to insert a dir item for
the snapshot we BUG_ON() if the return value is -EEXIST or -EOVERFLOW:

  static noinline int create_pending_snapshot(...)
  {
     (...)

     /* check if there is a file/dir which has the same name. */
     dir_item = btrfs_lookup_dir_item(...);
     (...)

     ret = btrfs_insert_dir_item(...);
     /* We have check then name at the beginning, so it is impossible. */
     BUG_ON(ret == -EEXIST || ret == -EOVERFLOW);
     if (ret) {
        btrfs_abort_transaction(trans, ret);
        goto fail;
     }

     (...)
  }

It's impossible to get the -EEXIST because we previously checked for a
potential collision with btrfs_lookup_dir_item() and we know that after
that no one could have added a colliding name because at this point the
transaction is in its critical section, state TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_DOING,
so no one can join this transaction to add a colliding name and neither
can anyone start a new transaction to do that.

As for the -EOVERFLOW, that can't happen as long as we have the extended
references feature enabled, which is a mkfs default for many years now.

In either case, the BUG_ON() is excessive as we can properly deal with
any error and can abort the transaction and jump to the 'fail' label,
in which case we'll also get the useful stack trace (just like a BUG_ON())
from the abort if the error is either -EEXIST or -EOVERFLOW.

So remove the BUG_ON().

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 reStructuredText 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.
