Same crash with 2.6.38, so it's either very sneaky btrfs bug or
some discrepancy in ubd.

Tested on ext4, xfs, jfs and reiserfs3. All survive
the load of creating and deleting 1000 files.
By on-disk load reiserfs3 should be quite similar to btrfs,
so I expected it to show problems, but it didn't.
[n00bish speculation] btrfs also plays games with mm. Maybe
the problem sits somewhere there where block layer/page
cache and on-disk layout gets out-of-sync.
[sf] ~/linux-2.6/fs/btrfs:fgrep -R PageDirty .
./extent_io.c: if (!PageDirty(pages[i]) ||
./extent_io.c: if (!PageDirty(page))
./extent_io.c: if (!PageDirty(page)) {
./disk-io.c: if (PageDirty(page))
./disk-io.c: if (PageWriteback(page) || PageDirty(page))
./disk-io.c: if (PageDirty(page)) {
./transaction.c: if (PageDirty(page))
./transaction.c: if (PageDirty(page)) {
./ioctl.c: if (PageDirty(page)) {
./inode.c: if (!page->mapping || !PageDirty(page) || !PageChecked(page)) {
./inode.c: if (PageWriteback(page) || PageDirty(page))
I'll try to send bug report to linux-btrfs mailing list first
and return if I'll have more details.
