In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

btrfs: do not force reloc root creation during qgroup_account_snapshot()

[BUG] When running btrfs/252 with quota enabled through MKFS_OPTIONS="-O quota", it has a high chance to trigger the following kernel warning and flips the fs RO:
