While running the test btrfs/004 from xfstests in a loop, it failed
about 1 time out of 20 runs in my desktop. The failure happened in
the backref walking part of the test, and the test's error message was
like this:
btrfs/004 93s ... [failed, exit status 1] - output mismatch (see /home/fdmanana/git/hub/xfstests_2/results//btrfs/004.out.bad)

But immediately after the test finished, the btrfs inspect-internal command
returned the expected output:

It turned out this was because the btrfs_search_old_slot() calls performed
during backref walking (backref.c:__resolve_indirect_ref) were not finding
anything. The reason for this turned out to be that the tree mod logging
code was not logging some node multi-step operations atomically, therefore
btrfs_search_old_slot() callers iterated often over an incomplete tree that
wasn't fully consistent with any tree state from the past. Besides missing
items, this often (but not always) resulted in -EIO errors during old slot
searches, reported in dmesg like this:

These tree mod log operations that must be performed atomically, tree_mod_log_free_eb,
tree_mod_log_eb_copy, tree_mod_log_insert_root and tree_mod_log_insert_move, used to
be performed atomically before the following commit:
c8cc634165
(Btrfs: stop using GFP_ATOMIC for the tree mod log allocations)
That change removed the atomicity of such operations. This patch restores the
atomicity while still not doing the GFP_ATOMIC allocations of tree_mod_elem
structures, so it has to do the allocations using GFP_NOFS before acquiring
the mod log lock.
This issue has been experienced by several users recently, such as for example:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-btrfs/msg28574.html
After running the btrfs/004 test for 679 consecutive iterations with this
patch applied, I didn't ran into the issue anymore.
