[BUG] There are several reported runaway balance, that balance is flooding the log with "found X extents" where the X never changes. [CAUSE] Commit d2311e698578 ("btrfs: relocation: Delay reloc tree deletion after merge_reloc_roots") introduced BTRFS_ROOT_DEAD_RELOC_TREE bit to indicate that one subvolume has finished its tree blocks swap with its reloc tree. However if balance is canceled or hits ENOSPC halfway, we didn't clear the BTRFS_ROOT_DEAD_RELOC_TREE bit, leaving that bit hanging forever until unmount. Any subvolume root with that bit, would cause backref cache to skip this tree block, as it has finished its tree block swap. This would cause all tree blocks of that root be ignored by balance, leading to runaway balance. [FIX] Fix the problem by also clearing the BTRFS_ROOT_DEAD_RELOC_TREE bit for the original subvolume of orphan reloc root. Add an umount check for the stale bit still set.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
