The btrfs relocate_file_extent_cluster() calls us with NULL filp:

  [ 4005.426805] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000021
  [ 4005.426818] IP: [<c109a130>] page_cache_sync_readahead+0x18/0x3e

Andrew and Greg:

This is an obvious correct bug fix for .34 and .33-stable,
so I'm resending it directly to you without Kirill's confirmation.
