I'm travelling next week, so I'm trying to braindump the stuff I've
found so far and summarise so I can pick it back up later if no-one else
figures it out first.

I've hit the bad page map spew with enough regularity that I've now got a handful of
good traces.

http://codemonkey.org.uk/junk/btrfs/bad-page-state3.txt
http://codemonkey.org.uk/junk/btrfs/bad-page-state4.txt

It smells to me like a race between truncate and the writeback
workqueue. The variety of traces here seem to show both sides
of the race, sometimes it's kworker, sometimes a trinity child process.

bad-page-state3.txt onwards have some bonus trace_printk's from
btrfs_setsize as I was curious what sizes we were passing down to
truncate. The only patterns I see are going from very large to very
small sizes. Perhaps that causes truncate to generate so much
writeback that it makes the race apparent ?



Other stuff I keep hitting:

Start transaction spew:
http://codemonkey.org.uk/junk/btrfs/start_transaction.txt
That's the WARN_ON(h->use_count > 2);
I hit this with enough regularity that I had to comment it out.
It's not clear to me whether this is related at all.

Lockdep spew:
http://codemonkey.org.uk/junk/btrfs/register_lock_class1.txt
http://codemonkey.org.uk/junk/btrfs/register_lock_class2.txt
This stuff has been around for a while (4.6ish iirc)

Sometimes the fs got into a screwed up state that needed btrfscking.
