Until v4.14, this warning was very infrequent: WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 18172 at fs/btrfs/backref.c:1391 find_parent_nodes+0xc41/0x14e0 Modules linked in: [...] CPU: 3 PID: 18172 Comm: bees Tainted: G D W L 4.11.9-zb64+ #1 Hardware name: System manufacturer System Product Name/M5A78L-M/USB3, BIOS 2101 12/02/2014 Call Trace: dump_stack+0x85/0xc2 __warn+0xd1/0xf0 warn_slowpath_null+0x1d/0x20 find_parent_nodes+0xc41/0x14e0 __btrfs_find_all_roots+0xad/0x120 ? extent_same_check_offsets+0x70/0x70 iterate_extent_inodes+0x168/0x300 iterate_inodes_from_logical+0x87/0xb0 ? iterate_inodes_from_logical+0x87/0xb0 ? extent_same_check_offsets+0x70/0x70 btrfs_ioctl+0x8ac/0x2820 ? lock_acquire+0xc2/0x200 do_vfs_ioctl+0x91/0x700 ? __fget+0x112/0x200 SyS_ioctl+0x79/0x90 entry_SYSCALL_64_fastpath+0x23/0xc6 ? trace_hardirqs_off_caller+0x1f/0x140 Starting with v4.14 (specifically 86d5f9944252 ("btrfs: convert prelimary reference tracking to use rbtrees")) the WARN_ON occurs three orders of magnitude more frequently--almost once per second while running workloads like bees. Replace the WARN_ON() with a comment rationale for its removal. The rationale is paraphrased from an explanation by Edmund Nadolski on the linux-btrfs mailing list.
