There was a recent regression in btrfs/177 that started happening with
the size class patches ("btrfs: introduce size class to block group
allocator"). This however isn't a regression introduced by those
patches, but rather the bug was uncovered by a change in behavior in
these patches. The patches triggered more chunk allocations in the
^free-space-tree case, which uncovered a race with device shrink.
The problem is we will set the device total size to the new size, and
use this to find a hole for a device extent. However during shrink we
may have device extents allocated past this range, so we could
potentially find a hole in a range past our new shrink size. We don't
actually limit our found extent to the device size anywhere, we assume
that we will not find a hole past our device size. This isn't true with
shrink as we're relocating block groups and thus creating holes past the
device size.
Fix this by making sure we do not search past the new device size, and
if we wander into any device extents that start after our device size
simply break from the loop and use whatever hole we've already found.

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.
