Revision 2c47e605a91dde6b0514f689645e7ab336c8592a authored by Yan Zheng on 28 June 2009, 01:07:35 UTC, committed by Chris Mason on 02 July 2009, 17:41:17 UTC 
Btrfs: update backrefs while dropping snapshot
 
The new backref format has restriction on type of backref item.  If a tree
block isn't referenced by its owner tree, full backrefs must be used for the
pointers in it. When a tree block loses its owner tree's reference, backrefs
for the pointers in it should be updated to full backrefs. Current
btrfs_drop_snapshot misses the code that updates backrefs, so it's unsafe for
general use.

This patch adds backrefs update code to btrfs_drop_snapshot.  It isn't a
problem in the restricted form btrfs_drop_snapshot is used today, but for
general snapshot deletion this update is required.
