From 33e8f24b52d2796b8cfb28c19a1a7dd6476323a8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Filipe Manana fdmanana@suse.com Date: Mon, 19 May 2025 11:07:29 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: abort transaction on unexpected eb generation at btrfs_copy_root()
If we find an unexpected generation for the extent buffer we are cloning at btrfs_copy_root(), we just WARN_ON() and don't error out and abort the transaction, meaning we allow to persist metadata with an unexpected generation. Instead of warning only, abort the transaction and return -EUCLEAN.
