5.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: xiaoshoukui <xiaoshoukui@xxxxxxxxx> commit 29eefa6d0d07e185f7bfe9576f91e6dba98189c2 upstream. Pausing and canceling balance can race to interrupt balance lead to BUG_ON panic in btrfs_cancel_balance. The BUG_ON condition in btrfs_cancel_balance does not take this race scenario into account. However, the race condition has no other side effects. We can fix that. Reproducing it with panic trace like this: kernel BUG at fs/btrfs/volumes.c:4618!
