Any suggestions on where I should report my findings to have those properly looked into? I think I have narrowed the cause down far enough so that somebody with knowledge of the kernel code might have a chance to identify and fix the bug.
I would suggest filing a bug in the kernel bugzilla.
Sorry, just saw this and made the connection with the email on linux-btrfs@. Really great investigative work by Lukas.
There will soon be more info for Btrfs in Fedora, including bug reporting. The gist is:
- If A vs B testing shows a regression, i.e. ext4 (or XFS) vs Btrfs behavior difference, just like in this example, then you can file it in the Red Hat Bugzilla, classification Fedora, component kernel.
- After submitting the bug, it would be awesome if you can change the Assignee to fedora-kernel-btrfs@fedoraproject.org so the proper folks are notified.
If you're not sure if you've found a bug, or just have questions, I think the usual process of gradual escalation makes sense. Ask here, and if the usual helpful suspects don't have an answer, get my attention on IRC (cmurf) in any of #fedora, and I'll do my best to answer.
