The kernel tester found a dereferencing NULL pointer issue with this patch.

I think this is the fix:

--- a/fs/btrfs/root-tree.c
+++ b/fs/btrfs/root-tree.c
@@ -488,7 +488,7 @@ void btrfs_update_root_times(struct
btrfs_trans_handle *trans,
                             struct btrfs_root *root)
 {
        struct btrfs_root_item *item = &root->root_item;
-       struct timespec ct = current_fs_time(root->ino_cache_inode->i_sb);
+       struct timespec ct = current_fs_time(root->fs_info->sb);


I will test and re-post the patch.
