We do not need anymore to start writeback for delalloc of roots that are being snapshotted and wait for it to complete. This was done in commit609e804d77("Btrfs: fix file corruption after snapshotting due to mix of buffered/DIO writes") to fix a type of file corruption where files in a snapshot end up having their i_size updated in a non-ordered way, leaving implicit file holes, when buffered IO writes that increase a file's size are followed by direct IO writes that also increase the file's size. This is not needed anymore because we now have a more generic mechanism to prevent a non-ordered i_size update since commit9ddc959e80("btrfs: use the file extent tree infrastructure"), which addresses this scenario involving snapshots as well.

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.
