This patch needs to be dropped (I imagine the whole series too) as it breaks
xfstests btrfs/003.  If I do btrfs fi show on a mounted fs I get this

[root@destiny btrfs-progs]# btrfs fi show /dev/sdc
Btrfs v0.20-rc1-483-ge0173f6
[root@destiny btrfs-progs]# 

Chris this is in integration, so maybe a revert?  Thanks,

Josef
