While running btrfs/011 in a loop I would often ASSERT() while trying to
add a new free space entry that already existed, or get an -EEXIST while
adding a new block to the extent tree, which is another indication of
double allocation.
This occurs because when we do the free space tree population, we create
the new root and then populate the tree and commit the transaction.
The problem is when you create a new root, the root node and commit root
node are the same. This means that caching a block group before the
transaction is committed can race with other operations modifying the
free space tree, and thus you can get double adds and other sort of
shenanigans. This is only a problem for the first transaction, once
we've committed the transaction we created the free space tree in we're
OK to use the free space tree to cache block groups.
Fix this by marking the fs_info as unsafe to load the free space tree,
and fall back on the old slow method. We could be smarter than this,
for example caching the block group while we're populating the free
space tree, but since this is a serious problem I've opted for the
simplest solution.

FST creation happens during mount so what would initiate block group
caching at that time, the race scenario should be better described in
the change log. E.g. what those other operations might be, considering
we are in mount ?

I guess you can't simply move the clearing of the
BTRFS_FS_CREATING_FREE_SPACE_TREE after the commit since it blocks
delayed refs running.

Shouldn't the new flag be cleared on abort ?

It's happening during the transaction commit. Creating the free space tree
allocates blocks, which updates the FST via delayed refs. These run during
transaction commit, which allocates more blocks because we're now COW'ing the
extent tree. At this point if we have to cache a block group we start doing
that, which happens in another thread. Now we have the caching thread trying to
cache while the tree is changing because of delayed refs running.
