Hi Dongyang, Yan,

When testing BTRFS with RAID 0 metadata on linux-3.3, we see discard
ranges exceeding the end of the block device [1], potentially causing
dataloss; when this occurs, filesystem writeback becomes catatonic due
to continual resubmission.

The reproducer is quite simple [2]. Hope this proves useful...

Thanks,
  Daniel
