Bug: # btrfs-image -t0 -c9 /dev/sda6 /tmp/btrfs_image.img (hang) # btrfs-image -r -t0 /tmp/btrfs_image.img /dev/sda6 (hang)
Reason: Program need to create at least 1 thread for compress/decompress. but if user specify -t0 in argument, it overwrite the default value of 1, then the program really created 0 thread, and caused above error. Fix: We can add a check, to make program not allow -t0 argument, but there are still exist another problem. for ex, in node with 4 cpus: btrfs-image -c9 -t1: 4 threads (1 means use nr_cpus) -c9 -t2: 2 threads -c9 -t3: 3 threads ... (-t1 have more threads than -t2 and -t3) So we change to use value of 0 as "use nr_cpus threads", then: btrfs-image [no -t arg]: use nr_cpus threads -t0: use nr_cpus threads -t val: use val threads.
