A kernel warning will be triggered,during copy a big file into zstd compressed btrfs filesystem

[guoxuenan]

Hi all,

I have found a kernel warning of btrfs ,during run my  shell script in 
qemu qemu virtual machine.

Linux mainline version Linux 4.15-rc2 (ae64f9bd)


The script try to copy a big file(15G) into btrfs filesystem,when I 
login virtual machine,then run the script,A kernel warning will be 
triggered  within about ten file copies.
=========================================================
#!/bin/sh
function btrfs_test()
{
	umount /mnt/vdb
	mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/vdb
	mount -o compress=$1 /dev/vdb /mnt/vdb
	cp ../data.tar  /mnt/vdb
	sleep 10
	btrfs filesystem sync /mnt/vdb
}

function loop_test()
{

	for k in $( seq 1 100 )
	do
		btrfs_test zstd
	done
}
loop_test
