btrfs_drop_snapshot() leaves subvolume qgroup items on disk after completion. This can cause problems with snapshot creation. If a new snapshot tries to claim the deleted subvolumes id, btrfs will get -EEXIST from add_qgroup_item() and go read-only. The following commands will reproduce this problem (assume btrfs is on /dev/sda and is mounted at /btrfs) mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sda mount -t btrfs /dev/sda /btrfs/ btrfs quota enable /btrfs/ btrfs su sna /btrfs/ /btrfs/snap btrfs su de /btrfs/snap sleep 45 umount /btrfs/ mount -t btrfs /dev/sda /btrfs/ We can fix this by catching -EEXIST in add_qgroup_item() and initializing the existing items. We have the problem of orphaned relation items being on disk from an old snapshot but that is outside the scope of this patch.
