From Dave's testing described below, it's possible to drive a file system to have bogus values of discardable_extents and _bytes. As btrfs_discard_calc_delay() is the only user of discardable_extents, we can correct here for any negative discardable_extents/discardable_bytes. The problem is not reliably reproducible. The workload that created it was based on linux git tree, switching between release tags, then everytihng deleted followed by a full rebalance. At this state the values of discardable_bytes was 16K and discardable_extents was -1, expected values 0 and 0. Repeating the workload again did not correct the bogus values so the offset seems to be stable once it happens.

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.
