corruption: yet another one after deleting a ro snapshot

Hey.

Linux heisenberg 4.8.0-2-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.8.15-2 (2017-01-04)
x86_64 GNU/Linux
btrfs-progs v4.7.3

I've had this already at least once some year ago or so:

I was doing backups (incremental via send/receive).
After everything was copied, I unmounted the destination fs, made a
fsck, all fine.
Then I mounted it again and did nothing but deleting the old snapshot.
After that, another fsck with the following errors:


Usually I have quite positive experiences with btrfs (things seem to be
fine even after a crash or accidental removal of the USB cable which
attaches the HDD)... but I'm every time shocked again, when supposedly
simple and basic operations like this cause such corruptions.
Kinda gives one the feeling as if quite deep bugs are still everywhere
in place, especially as such "hard to explain" errors happens every now
and then (take e.g. my mails "strange btrfs deadlock", "csum errors
during btrfs check" from the last days... and I don't seem to be the
only one who suffers from such problems, even with the basic parts of
btrfs which are considered to be stable - I mean we're not talking
about RAID56 here)... sigh :-(


While these files are precious, I have in total copies of all these
files, 3 on btrfs and 1 on ext4 (just to be on the safe side if btrfs
gets corrupted for no good reason :-( ).... so I could do some
debugging here if some developer tells me what to do.


Anyway... what should I do to repair the fs? Or is it better to simply
re-create that backup from scratch?


Cheers,
Chris.
