When a user attempts to remount a btrfs filesystem with
'mount -o remount,space_cache=v2', that operation succeeds.
Unfortunately, this is misleading, because the remount does not create
the free space tree. /proc/mounts will incorrectly show space_cache=v2,
but on the next mount, the file system will revert to the old
space_cache.

For now, we handle only the easier case, where the existing mount is
read only. In that case, we can create the free space tree without
contending with the block groups changing as we go. If it is not read
only, we fail more explicitly so the user knows that the remount was not
successful, and we don't end up in a state where /proc/mounts is giving
misleading information. We also fail if the remount is read-only, since
we would not be able to create the free space tree in that case.

v2:
- move creation down to ro->rw case
- error on all other remount cases
- add a comment to help future remount modifiers

This will bite us if we remount -o ro,noatime but had previous mounted with -o 
ro,space_cache=v2.  These checks need to be under

This part right here.  Put the check for remounting RO with space_cache=v2 in 
that part, and the check if we need to create the fst at all down where you 
create it.  Thanks,

I wanted this case to fail because I was thinking of this patch as
creating the invariant: "if remount -o space_cache=v2 succeeds, we
actually created the free space tree". However, that behavior is
inconsistent with the fact that 'mount -o ro,space_cache=v2' does
succeed while failing to create the tree.

I guess my question is would we rather have a ro mount that tries to
create the free space tree fail silently or noisily in both cases?

If we want to allow them to silently fail, I will also send a patch to
change the mount option reporting logic.

Thanks for the review!
