commit 92fb94b69c6accf1e49fff699640fa0ce03dc910 upstream. We set cache_block_group_error if btrfs_cache_block_group() returns an error, this is because we could end up not finding space to allocate and mistakenly return -ENOSPC, and which could then abort the transaction with the incorrect errno, and in the case of ENOSPC result in a WARN_ON() that will trip up tests like generic/475. However there's the case where multiple threads can be racing, one thread gets the proper error, and the other thread doesn't actually call btrfs_cache_block_group(), it instead sees ->cached == BTRFS_CACHE_ERROR. Again the result is the same, we fail to allocate our space and return -ENOSPC. Instead we need to set cache_block_group_error to -EIO in this case to make sure that if we do not make our allocation we get the appropriate error returned back to the caller.

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.
