[BUG]
After commit 9afc66498a0b ("btrfs: block-group: refactor how we read one
block group item"), cache->length is being assigned after calling
btrfs_create_block_group_cache. This causes a problem since
set_free_space_tree_thresholds calculates the free-space threshold to
decide if the free-space tree should convert from extents to bitmaps.
The current code calls set_free_space_tree_thresholds with cache->length
being 0, which then makes cache->bitmap_high_thresh zero. This implies
the system will always use bitmap instead of extents, which is not
desired if the block group is not fragmented.
This behavior can be seen by a test that expects to repair systems
with FREE_SPACE_EXTENT and FREE_SPACE_BITMAP, but the current code only
created FREE_SPACE_BITMAP.
[FIX]
Call set_free_space_tree_thresholds after setting cache->length. There
is now a WARN_ON in set_free_space_tree_thresholds to help preventing
the same mistake to happen again in the future.

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.
