At find_parent_nodes(), at its last step, when iterating over all direct
references, we are checking if we have a share context and if we have
a reference with a different root from the one in the share context.
However that logic is pointless because of two reasons:
1) After the previous patch in the series (subject "btrfs: remove roots
ulist when checking data extent sharedness"), the roots argument is
always NULL when using a share check context (struct share_check), so
this code is never triggered;
2) Even before that previous patch, we could not hit this code because
if we had a reference with a root different from the one in our share
context, then we would have exited earlier when doing either of the
following:
- Adding a second direct ref to the direct refs red black tree
resulted in extent_is_shared() returning true when called from
add_direct_ref() -> add_prelim_ref(), after processing delayed
references or while processing references in the extent tree;
- When adding a second reference to the indirect refs red black
tree (same as above, extent_is_shared() returns true);
- If we only have one indirect reference and no direct references,
then when resolving it at resolve_indirect_refs() we immediately
return that the target extent is shared, therefore never reaching
that loop that iterates over all direct references at
find_parent_nodes();
- If we have 1 indirect reference and 1 direct reference, then we
also exit early because extent_is_shared() ends up returning true
when called through add_prelim_ref() (by add_direct_ref() or
add_indirect_ref()) or add_delayed_refs(). Same applies as when
having a combination of direct, indirect and indirect with missing
key references.
This logic had been obsoleted since commit 3ec4d3238ab165 ("btrfs:
allow backref search checks for shared extents"), which introduced the
early exits in case an extent is shared.
So just remove that logic, and assert at find_parent_nodes() that when we
have a share context we don't have a roots ulist and that we haven't found
the extent to be directly shared after processing delayed references and
all references from the extent tree.

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.
