I've had vey similar hangs occasionally; don't remember if they were the 
exact same code path or not.

"btrfs-vol -b" on an 2T btrfs fs (raid 1 mode over 4 disks) on an arm CPU 
has triggered it several times, so it seems a reliable way to reproduce 
this.

Unfortunately log rotation has already killed the messages.  Do you want me 
to re-run?  2.6.32 kernel, btrfs-progs from git about 4 weeks ago.

cheers
