Normally with that mount option, a bad csum tree root should set BTRFS_FS_STATE_NO_DATA_CSUMS flag, so that any future data read will ignore csum search.  But in this particular case, we have the following call trace that caused NULL csum root, but not setting BTRFS_FS_STATE_NO_DATA_CSUMS:  load_global_roots_objectid():    ret = btrfs_search_slot();   /* Succeeded */   btrfs_item_key_to_cpu()   found = true;   /* We found the root item for csum tree. */   root = read_tree_root_path();   if (IS_ERR(root)) {    if (!btrfs_test_opt(fs_info, IGNOREBADROOTS))    /*     * Since we have rescue=ibadroots mount option,     * @ret is still 0.     */    break;  if (!found || ret) {   /* @found is true, @ret is 0, error handling for csum    * tree is skipped.    */  }  This means we completely skipped to set BTRFS_FS_STATE_NO_DATA_CSUMS if the csum tree is corrupted, which results unexpected later csum lookup.  [FIX] If read_tree_root_path() failed, always populate @ret to the error number.  As at the end of the function, we need @ret to determine if we need to do the extra error handling for csum tree.
