You also need to try latest mainline and bisect, as Bagas already
pointed out, as that problem might be solved already and might have
nothing to do with Btrfs at all.

Bagas, FWIW, I think telling users this is not helpful at all and maybe
counter productive; please consider to stop doing this.

Yes, kernel development uses inline replies -- hence it's a good idea to
point that out *to developers* that submit patches et. al.

But most people in the world uses top-posting; you and I might not like
that, but that's how it is. Telling non-developers to adjust their
behavior to our habits will often just come over as rude. It might
nevertheless be worth it. But it's best to leave that decision to the
developers that handle the report, as they have to interact way more
with the reporter that you or I will have to.
