History please.

This is a pretty serious failure of COW.

Unless you were using nobarrier mount option and a sudden power loss 
happened, it may indicate your storage doesn't properly handle FUA/FLUSH 
commands.

You can try "ro,rescue=all", which will make btrfs to ignore the 
corrupted free space tree.

If lucky enough, you can still salvage your data.

Repair will not help much in this case.
