In find_parent_nodes(), these refs's parents are 0, then __merge_refs
will merge refs to one ref. It causes only one root to be returned.

This is a pretty big problem, and it would cause qgroup verification
code to cause false alerts.

So a new test case would do great help here.

Let me think how to construct a test case a while.
If I remember correctly, the function is called rarely only
in check/lowmem check.
Check calls it in a very corner case.
As you know, extent check in lowmme is buggy which I'm try to fix.


So, if both parents are 0, do not merge refs.

Lowmem check calls find_parent_nodes frequently to decide whether.
check an extent buffer or not. These bug influences bytes accounting.

Although it looks good so far, and would fix the problem you found, but

Fixing another bug in lowmem, found it by accident.

I strongly recommend to port kernel backref code to btrfs-progs here, as
kernel backref code is more tested than btrfs-progs backref code.

It's a fact. Seen backref.c in btrfs-progs, there are many useless codes
and confusing logicals.
I agree that port kernel backref code to btrfs-progs.

I'm pretty sure we have more bugs in btrfs-progs backref, and I'm not a
big fan of playing whac-a-mole here.

It's better to put it above (ref1->parent != ref2->parent).
As parent == 0 means we haven't resolve the parent bytenr yet, so can't
be merged nor compared.

Ok, will do it in V2.
