We found btrfsck will output backrefs mismatch while the filesystem
is defenitely ok.

The problem is that check_block() don't return right value,which
makes btrfsck won't walk all tree blocks thus we don't get a consistent
filesystem, we will fail to check extent refs etc.

I tried this fix on a broken btrfs volume I've been trying to repair,
and it seemed to put me in an infinite loop.

I agree that something seems wrong with the way the caller of
check_block uses the return value, and I also noticed that it seemed
to exit before walking all the tree blocks.

But I think the problem is more subtle than flipping the default ret
value from 1 to 0.
No, not really even though i know there are other problems with fsck repair mode.
But this problem should be fixed and pushed into btrfs-progsv3.13.(Notice,
the below problem did not exist in btrfs-progsv3.12)

An easy way to trigger this problem:

# mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sda9
# mount /dev/sda9 /mnt
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/data bs=4k count=10240 oflag=direct
# btrfs sub snapshot /mnt /mnt/snap1
# btrfs sub snapshot /mnt /mnt/snap2
# umount /mnt
# btrfs check /dev/sda9

After applying this patch, the above problems did not exist.
Feel free to correct me if i miss something here.^_^


Thanks,
Wang
