caching_thread()s do all their work under read access to extent_commit_sem. They give up on this read access only when need_resched() tells them, or when they exit. As a result, somebody that wants a WRITE access to this sem, might wait for a long time. Especially this is problematic in cache_block_group(), which can be called on critical paths like find_free_extent() and in commit path via

The kernel side for rescan, which is needed if you want to enable qgroup tracking on a non-empty volume. The first patch splits btrfs_qgroup_account_ref into readable ans reusable units. The second patch adds the rescan implementation (refer to its commit message for a description of the algorithm). The third patch starts an automatic rescan when qgroups are enabled. It is only separated to

A bunch of fixes (memory leaks, NULL pointer dereferences and devices hanging in busy state) to sanitize error handling during mount sequence. This is on top of for-linus + slyfox''s double-free fix. Thanks, Ilya Ilya Dryomov (5): Btrfs: fix memory leak in btrfs_parse_early_options() Btrfs: fix subvol_name leak on error in btrfs_mount() Btrfs: avoid null dereference and leaks
