No add_block_entry() returns with the ref_verify_lock held on success only:
static struct block_entry *add_block_entry(struct btrfs_fs_info *fs_info,
u64 bytenr, u64 len,
u64 root_objectid)
{
struct block_entry *be = NULL, *exist;
struct root_entry *re = NULL;

re = kzalloc(sizeof(struct root_entry), GFP_KERNEL);
be = kzalloc(sizeof(struct block_entry), GFP_KERNEL);
if (!be || !re) {
kfree(re);
kfree(be);
return ERR_PTR(-ENOMEM);
}
be->bytenr = bytenr;
be->len = len;

re->root_objectid = root_objectid;
re->num_refs = 0;

spin_lock(&fs_info->ref_verify_lock);
[...]


While the code caller checks for an error:

if (action == BTRFS_ADD_DELAYED_EXTENT) {
/*
* For subvol_create we'll just pass in whatever the parent root
* is and the new root objectid, so let's not treat the passed
* in root as if it really has a ref for this bytenr.
*/
be = add_block_entry(fs_info, bytenr, num_bytes, ref_root);
if (IS_ERR(be)) {
kfree(ref);
kfree(ra);
ret = PTR_ERR(be);
goto out;
}

So if add_block_entry returns -ENOMEM it didn't take the lock and thus no unlock
is needed.

Or did I miss something?
