Subject: Re: btrfs: warn_slowpath in clean_tree_block and others

I have also been getting similar warnings filling up my logs.

However, in my case, I have been experimenting with back-porting btrfs
to a 2.6.28 kernel.  So I've been waiting for the back-porting efforts
to get a little further along.

But I thought I'd respond in case this information helps.

Here's an example of the warnings I've been seeing:
