If we disable quotas while we have a relocation of a metadata block group that has extents belonging to the quota root, we can cause the relocation to fail with -ENOENT. This is because relocation builds backref nodes for extents of the quota root and later needs to walk the backrefs and access the quota root - however if in between a task disables quotas, it results in deleting the quota root from the root tree (with btrfs_del_root(), called from btrfs_quota_disable(). This can be sporadically triggered by test case btrfs/255 from fstests: $ ./check btrfs/255 FSTYP -- btrfs PLATFORM -- Linux/x86_64 debian0 6.4.0-rc6-btrfs-next-134+ #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Jun 15 11:59:28 WEST 2023 MKFS_OPTIONS -- /dev/sdc MOUNT_OPTIONS -- /dev/sdc /home/fdmanana/btrfs-tests/scratch_1 btrfs/255 6s ... _check_dmesg: something found in dmesg (see /home/fdmanana/git/hub/xfstests/results//btrfs/255.dmesg) - output mismatch (see /home/fdmanana/git/hub/xfstests/results//btrfs/255.out.bad) --- tests/btrfs/255.out 2023-03-02 21:47:53.876609426 +0000 +++ /home/fdmanana/git/hub/xfstests/results//btrfs/255.out.bad 2023-06-16 10:20:39.267563212 +0100 @@ -1,2 +1,4 @@ QA output created by 255 +ERROR: error during balancing '/home/fdmanana/btrfs-tests/scratch_1': No such file or directory +There may be more info in syslog - try dmesg | tail Silence is golden ...

This is also what we do when deleting a subvolume/snapshot, we take the cleaner mutex in the cleaner kthread (at cleaner_kthread()) and then we call btrfs_del_root() at btrfs_drop_snapshot() while under the protection of the cleaner mutex.

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.
