Subject: btrfs: forbid creating subvol qgroups
From: Boris Burkov <boris@xxxxxx>
commit 0c309d66dacddf8ce939b891d9ead4a8e21ad6f0 upstream.
Creating a qgroup 0/subvolid leads to various races and it isn't
helpful, because you can't specify a subvol id when creating a subvol,
so you can't be sure it will be the right one. Any requirements on the
automatic subvol can be gratified by using a higher level qgroup and the
inheritance parameters of subvol creation.
