When doing a device replace, while at scrub.c:scrub_enumerate_chunks(), we
set the block group to RO mode and then wait for any ongoing writes into
extents of the block group to complete. While doing that wait we overwrite
the value of the variable 'ret' and can break out of the loop if an error
happens without turning the block group back into RW mode. So what happens
is the following:
1) btrfs_inc_block_group_ro() returns 0, meaning it set the block group
to RO mode (its ->ro field set to 1 or incremented to some value > 1);
2) Then btrfs_wait_ordered_roots() returns a value > 0;
3) Then if either joining or committing the transaction fails, we break
out of the loop wihtout calling btrfs_dec_block_group_ro(), leaving
the block group in RO mode forever.
To fix this, just remove the code that waits for ongoing writes to extents
of the block group, since it's not needed because in the initial setup
phase of a device replace operation, before starting to find all chunks
and their extents, we set the target device for replace while holding
fs_info->dev_replace->rwsem, which ensures that after releasing that
semaphore, any writes into the source device are made to the target device
as well (__btrfs_map_block() guarantees that). So while at
scrub_enumerate_chunks() we only need to worry about finding and copying
extents (from the source device to the target device) that were written
before we started the device replace operation.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
