Never saw this particular race/error, but decided to give these patches a workout to see whether they cause any new or unrelated problems. Continuous rebalancing (full, partial) for ~30m while unpacking and deleting kernel trees on a 16GB tmpfs-backed loopback device did not cause any problem; balance just cruises along at (sometimes) up to ~1GB/s and does its thing. Finally btrfs check also found nothing wrong. Not sure if this qualifies as testing, but anyway: Tested-by: Holger Hoffstaette <holger.hoffstae...@googlemail.com> cheers, Holger -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
