btrfs: remove bogus BUG_ON in alloc_reserved_tree_block
The fix 361048f586f5 ("Btrfs: fix full backref problem when inserting shared block reference") added a delayed ref flushing at subvolume creation time in order to avoid hitting this particular BUG_ON(). Before this fix, we were tripping the BUG_ON() by 1. Modify snapshot A, which creates blocks with a normal reference for snapshot A, as A is the owner of these blocks. We now have delayed refs for these blocks. 2. Create a snapshot of A named B, which pushes references for the children blocks of the root node for the new root B, thus creating more delayed refs for newly allocated blocks. 3. A is modified, and because the metadata blocks can now be shared, it must push FULL_BACKREF references to the children of any block that A COWs down it's path to its target key. 4. Delayed refs are run. Because these are newly allocated blocks, we have ->must_insert_reserved reserved set on the delayed ref head, we call into alloc_reserved_tree_block() to add the extent item, and then add our ref. At the time of this fix, we were ordering FULL_BACKREF delayed ref operations first, so we'd go to add this reference and then BUG_ON() because we didn't have the FULL_BACKREF flag set. The patch fixed this problem by making sure we ran the delayed refs before we had the chance to modify A. This meant that any *new* blocks would have had their extent items created _before_ we would ever actually COW down and generate FULL_BACKREF entries. Thus the problem went away. However this BUG_ON() is actually completely bogus. The existence of a full backref doesn't necessarily mean that FULL_BACKREF must be set on that block, it must only be set on the actual parent itself. Consider the example provided above. If we COW down one path from A, any nodes are going to have a FULL_BACKREF ref pushed down to _all_ of their children, but not all of the children are going to have FULL_BACKREF set. It is completely valid to have an extent item with normal and full backrefs without FULL_BACKREF actually set on the block itself. As a final note, I have been testing with the patch (applied after this one) btrfs: stop running all delayed refs during snapshot which removed this flushing. My test was a torture test which did a lot of operations while snapshotting and deleting snapshots as well as relocation, and I never tripped this BUG_ON(). This is actually because at the time of 361048f586f5, we ordered SHARED keys _before_ normal references, and thus they would get run first. However currently they are ordered _after_ normal references, so we'd do the initial creation without having a shared reference, and thus not hit this BUG_ON(), which explains why I didn't start hitting this problem during my testing with my other patch applied.
