Heads up.. If there are people playing with 3.17 and btrfs at the moment then you'll want this patch, pull request for Linus below (not yet merged into the mainline so not yet a candidate for a stable release). The actual commit has a better description of the problem.

The corruption isn't easy to hit, you have to do a readonly snapshot and have orphans in the snapshot. But my review and testing missed the bug. Filipe has added a better xfstest to cover it.
