[BUG] After commit9afc66498a("btrfs: block-group: refactor how we read one block group item"), cache->length is being assigned after calling btrfs_create_block_group_cache. This causes a problem since set_free_space_tree_thresholds calculates the free-space threshold to decide if the free-space tree should convert from extents to bitmaps. The current code calls set_free_space_tree_thresholds with cache->length being 0, which then makes cache->bitmap_high_thresh zero. This implies the system will always use bitmap instead of extents, which is not desired if the block group is not fragmented. This behavior can be seen by a test that expects to repair systems with FREE_SPACE_EXTENT and FREE_SPACE_BITMAP, but the current code only created FREE_SPACE_BITMAP. [FIX] Call set_free_space_tree_thresholds after setting cache->length. There is now a WARN_ON in set_free_space_tree_thresholds to help preventing the same mistake to happen again in the future.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
