Title:
  LXC + BTRFS: creating many containers simultaneously can cause system
  corruption

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Using lxc with a btrfs filesystem can lead to system corruption and
  containers which are unable to boot when many containers are created
  and started simultaneously.

  Packages involved:

      - btrfs-tools
      - ubuntu-lxc/daily from http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntu-lxc/daily/ubuntu

  `lsb_release -rd`:

      ubuntu@ip-10-91-30-131:~$ lsb_release -rd
      Description:	Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS
      Release:	12.04

  Here is the relevant discussion thread: http://www.mail-archive.com
  /lxc-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/msg05472.html

  And here is a key excerpt regarding reproducing the problem:

  The general system state is something like:
  N containers already running happily
  Launch N+ more containers in rapid succession (in parallell, not serially).

  Here is a test script which closely reflects what my application is
  actually doing.  It slowly launches 10 containers and then uses "&" to
  rapidly fork an additional 10 clone/start operations.  I have it doing
  2 cycles of this, and running the script many times (2-6 times)
  eventually triggers the problem.

  test.sh:
  #!/usr/bin/env bash

  prefix=$1

  test -z "${prefix}" && echo 'error: missing required parameter:
  prefix' 1>&2 && exit 1

  path=/mnt

  sudo lxc-destroy -n c1 2>/dev/null
  sudo lxc-create -t ubuntu -B btrfs -n c1

  for i in `seq 1 10`; do
      sudo lxc-clone -s -B btrfs -P $path -o c1 -n $prefix$i
      sudo lxc-start -d -n $prefix$i
  done
  for i in `seq 11 20`; do
      echo $(sudo lxc-clone -s -B btrfs -P $path -o c1 -n $prefix$i; sudo lxc-start -d -n $prefix$i) &
  done

  sleep 10

  # Create even more.
  for i in `seq 21 30`; do
      sudo lxc-clone -s -B btrfs -P $path -o c1 -n $prefix$i
      sudo lxc-start -d -n $prefix$i
  done
  for i in `seq 31 40`; do
      echo $(sudo lxc-clone -s -B btrfs -P $path -o c1 -n $prefix$i; sudo lxc-start -d -n $prefix$i) &
  done

  stop.sh:
  #!/usr/bin/env bash

  prefix=$1

  test -z "${prefix}" && echo 'error: missing required parameter:
  prefix' 1>&2 && exit 1

  sudo lxc-destroy -n c1;

  for i in `seq 1 40`; do
      echo $(sudo lxc-stop -k -n $prefix$i; sudo lxc-destroy -n $prefix$i) &
  done

  bash ./test.sh x
  bash ./test.sh y
  bash ./test.sh z

  If it doesn't manifest at first, try starting/stopping/destroying
  varying quantities of containers for several cycles.  Eventually I
  consistently end up not ever getting ip addresses or being able to
  even successfully start a container:
