This report should probably have gone to the btrfs people, although it

It looks like it's just dm-flakey now returning more errors, and
causing btrfs to complain more.

Which seems entirely expected.

Maybe the robot just was testing a error case that didn't actually
happen before.

Yeah, this warning in btrfs is much too verbose. I've been meaning to toss it under a debugging conditional because it makes common hardware problems look like software problems. It also spams dmesg during xfstests.

Thanks, I've been meaning to fix it up.
