Writing a userspace backref walker to replace LOGICAL_INO has been on my TODO list for a while, but I had to go after the kernel crashing bugs first. Now the top of the kernel crashing bug list is LOGICAL_INO too, so I guess there is no escape. I'd love to help with the kernel implementation of backref walking, but it's used by everything in btrfs, and it's full of wonderful things like log unwinding and negative reference counting that I know I don't understand well enough to mess with. > > Simultaneous LOGICAL_INO + balance correlates with these three failure > > modes: > > > > https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg89425.html > > > > https://www.mail-archive.com/linux-btrfs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg88892.html > > For the bug involving btrfs_search_old_slot(), try the following fix: > > https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=efad8a853ad2057f96664328a0d327a05ce39c76 > > Both reports where made before that fix was posted/merged. 5.3.13 already contains that commit (backported as f59d80e2f12b695d38e646f00de1e46e123dfcc9 in 5.3.4), and: [58446.332688][ T4514] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [58446.336367][ T4514] kernel BUG at fs/btrfs/ctree.c:1222!
