Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: qgroup: do not warn on record without old_roots populated

[BUG]
There are some reports from the mailing list that since v6.1 kernel, the
WARN_ON() inside btrfs_qgroup_account_extent() gets triggered during
rescan:

[CAUSE]
Since commit e15e9f43c7ca ("btrfs: introduce
BTRFS_QGROUP_RUNTIME_FLAG_NO_ACCOUNTING to skip qgroup accounting"), if
our qgroup is already in inconsistent state, we will no longer do the
time-consuming backref walk.

This can leav...
