Unfortunately I don't have a way to reproduce, as the issue
happened to me only once.

Server uptime was about 2 weeks, and there were millions of files with
multiple hardlinks on disk (backuppc archive copied from ext4 to
btrfs). Then, "rm" command was running for many days, about 5 times in
parallel, and many other rsync commands, with snapshots being added and
removed.

When I saw the issue I looked up in btrfs list archives that there was
a similar report in the past - but I doubt I will be able to find a
reliable way to reproduce this.
