This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed- focal' to 'verification-done-focal'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-focal' to 'verification-failed-focal'.
If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed.

Creating a btrfs subvolume, deleting it, and then trying to recreate it will cause EEXIST to be returned. It also leaves some files in a half-visible state because they are not revalidated correctly. Faulty behavior such as this can be reproduced via: btrfs subvolume create my-subvol btrfs subvolume delete my-subvol Fix: We need to revert this patch restoring the old behavior. This will briefly resurface https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1872757 which I will fix in a follow-up patch on top of this revert. We basically split the part that fixes https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1872757 out of the revert. Regression Potential: Limited to shiftfs. Test Case: Build a kernel with fix applied and run above reproducer.
