Hi everyone, I think I tracked down the oops we were seeing Tsutomu Itoh's balance test. The delayed metadata insertion code was allowing delayed updates to queue up and be process after the snapshot was created.
I've fixed this up by moving the delayed metadata run down into the snapshot creation code, please take a look. If nobody objects I'll have this in the pull I send to Linus this weekend. commit e999376f094162aa425ae749aa1df95ab928d010 Author: Chris Mason <chris.ma...@oracle.com> Date: Fri Jun 17 16:14:09 2011 -0400 Btrfs: avoid delayed metadata items during commits Snapshot creation has two phases. One is the initial snapshot setup, and the second is done during commit, while nobody is allowed to modify the root we are snapshotting. The delayed metadata insertion code can break that rule, it does a delayed inode update on the inode of the parent of the snapshot, and delayed directory item insertion. This makes sure to run the pending delayed operations before we record the snapshot root, which avoids corruptions.
