David is right, that's a bug. We lose the return value of 
add/del_qgroup_relation().

Just as David mentioned, add/del_qgroup_relation() does a lot of 
validation check, so we'd better log an error before we run qgroups.
But we still need to call btrfs_run_qgroups() to mark INCONSISTENT flag 
for qgroup tree.


And for your patch, it may be my personal preference, but the 
btrfs_std_error() naming is quite confusing for me.

Std_error() means more like stderr, for my first glance, I'd think it's 
just a new printk() warpper, until I checked the code.
It does more than printk, but also set FS_STATE_ERROR bit and set fs to 
readonly.
I'd like it to be something like btrfs_handle_err().

So, in the new patch(es) we may need to do the following things:
1) Add new log for btrfs_add/del_relation().
It only needs to log an error, no need to mark FS_ERROR bit.
As it may just be an invalid parameter.

2) Handle the err returned from btrfs_run_qgroups()
If btrfs_run_qgroups() return error, that's a BIG problem.
Which means we failed to update not only qgroup accounting info, but 
also qgroup status info.(including failed to mark INCONSISTENT)
So we need to set FS_STATE_ERROR bit.


Thanks,
Qu
