commit bfc61c36260ca990937539cd648ede3cd749bc10 upstream.
When finding out which inodes have references on a particular extent, done by backref.c:iterate_extent_inodes(), from the BTRFS_IOC_LOGICAL_INO (both v1 and v2) ioctl and from scrub we use the transaction join API to grab a reference on the currently running transaction, since in order to give accurate results we need to inspect the delayed references of the currently running transaction.
However, if there is currently no running transaction, the join operation will create a new transaction. This is inefficient as the transaction will eventually be committed, doing unnecessary IO and introducing a potential point of failure that will lead to a transaction abort due to -ENOSPC, as recently reported [1].
That's because the join, creates the transaction but does not reserve any space, so when attempting to update the root item of the root passed to btrfs_join_transaction(), during the transaction commit, we can end up failling with -ENOSPC. Users of a join operation are supposed to actually do some filesystem changes and reserve space by some means, which is not the case of iterate_extent_inodes(), it is a read-only operation for all contextes from which it is called.
The reported [1] -ENOSPC failure stack trace is the following:

So fix that by using the attach API, which does not create a transaction when there is currently no running transaction.
