   For reference for anyone replying, we've already had this
conversation as far as I could manage it on IRC a few days ago:

What is the worst case scenario of splitting an extent-tree's node or leaf?

[Kaho Ng]

Hi all,

I have questions on how BTRFS handles the scenario that a split pf
extent-tree's node/leaf  incurs another splits in the tree's
node/leaf. Is that scenario bounded? If it is, how could I calculate
the number that the split starts looping.
