Qu,

Strangely, this has caused some unexpected failures on test btrfs/071
(fsstress + device replace + remount followed by scrub).

Since I hadn't seen the issue in my 5.4 (and older) based branches,
and only started to observe the failure in 5.5-rc2+, I left a vm
bisecting since last week after coming back from vacations.
The bisection points out to this change. And going to 5.5-rc5 and
reverting this change, or just doing:

diff --git a/fs/btrfs/scrub.c b/fs/btrfs/scrub.c

-               ret = btrfs_inc_block_group_ro(cache, false);
+               ret = btrfs_inc_block_group_ro(cache, true);
                scrub_pause_off(fs_info);

                if (ret == 0) {

which is simpler then reverting due to conflicts, confirms this patch
is what causes btrfs/071 to fail like this:

>From a quick look I don't have an idea how this patch causes such
regression, doesn't seem to make any sense.

I changed btrfs/071 to comment out the remount loop
(https://pastebin.com/X5LiJtpS, the fsstress arguments are to avoid an
infinite loop during fsync, for which there is a fix already) to see
if that had any influence - it does not.
So it seems the problem is device replace and/or scrub only.

I can trigger the failure somewhat easily, 1000 iterations of
btrfs/071 on 5.5-rc5 produced 94 failures like that.
With this patch reverted (or passing true to
btrfs_inc_block_group_ro() from scrub), 20108 iterations succeeded (no
failures at all).

I haven't tried Josef's recent changes to inc_block_group_ro(), so I
can't say yet if they fix the problem.

I can take a closer look next week to see if I can figure out why this
causes such weird failures, unless you already have an idea.

Thanks.
