4.16-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Anand Jain <anand.jain@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 02ee654d3a04563c67bfe658a05384548b9bb105 upstream. We set the BTRFS_BALANCE_RESUME flag in the btrfs_recover_balance() only, which isn't called during the remount. So when resuming from the paused balance we hit the bug: kernel: kernel BUG at fs/btrfs/volumes.c:3890! :: kernel: balance_kthread+0x51/0x60 [btrfs] kernel: kthread+0x111/0x130 :: kernel: RIP: btrfs_balance+0x12e1/0x1570 [btrfs] RSP: ffffba7d0090bde8 Reproducer: On a mounted filesystem: btrfs balance start --full-balance /btrfs btrfs balance pause /btrfs mount -o remount,ro /dev/sdb /btrfs mount -o remount,rw /dev/sdb /btrfs To fix this set the BTRFS_BALANCE_RESUME flag in btrfs_resume_balance_async().
