From: Josef Bacik <josef@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 92fb94b69c6accf1e49fff699640fa0ce03dc910 upstream. We set cache_block_group_error if btrfs_cache_block_group() returns an error, this is because we could end up not finding space to allocate and mistakenly return -ENOSPC, and which could then abort the transaction with the incorrect errno, and in the case of ENOSPC result in a WARN_ON() that will trip up tests like generic/475. However there's the case where multiple threads can be racing, one thread gets the proper error, and the other thread doesn't actually call btrfs_cache_block_group(), it instead sees ->cached == BTRFS_CACHE_ERROR. Again the result is the same, we fail to allocate our space and return -ENOSPC. Instead we need to set cache_block_group_error to -EIO in this case to make sure that if we do not make our allocation we get the appropriate error returned back to the caller.
