Thanks a lot!

This indeed shows what I feared, on-disk corruption.

The root 8 is quota tree, which doesn't need to go through tree-reloc at
all.

The whole tree-relocation idea is for subvolume trees, which would do a
special snapshot for them, and then swap the highest tree nodes between
the tree reloc tree (the special snapshot) and the subvolume tree.

Thus for non-subvolume trees, relocation is done by just COWing the
involved tree blocks and call it a day.

This means we should never hit a reloc tree for non-subvolume trees, and
this looks like a on-disk format corruption.

Maybe I can reject those obviously incorrect reloc trees in tree-checker.

Thanks,
