btrfs: keep folios locked inside run_delalloc_nocow()
[BUG]
There is a very low chance that DEBUG_WARN() inside
btrfs_writepage_cow_fixup() can be triggered when
CONFIG_BTRFS_EXPERIMENTAL is enabled.
This only happens after run_delalloc_nocow() failed.
Unfortunately I haven't hit it for a while thus no real world dmesg for
now.
[CAUSE]
There is a race window where after run_delalloc_nocow() failed, error
handling can race with writeback thread.
Before we hit run_delalloc_nocow(), there is an inode with the following
dirty pages: (4K page size, 4K block size, no large folio)
0 4K 8K 12K 16K
|/////////|///////////|///////////|////////////|
The inode also have NODATACOW flag, and the above dirty range will go
through different extents during run_delalloc_range():
0 4K 8K 12K 16K
| NOCOW | COW | COW | NOCOW |
The race happen like this:
writeback thread A | writeback thread B
----------------------------------+--------------------------------------
Writeback for folio 0 |
run_delalloc_nocow() |
|- nocow_one_range() |
| For range [0, 4K), ret = 0 |
| |
|- fallback_to_cow() |
| For range [4K, 8K), ret = 0 |
| Folio 4K *UNLOCKED* |
| | Writeback for folio 4K
|- fallback_to_cow() | extent_writepage()
| For range [8K, 12K), failure | |- writepage_delalloc()
| | |
|- btrfs_cleanup_ordered_extents()| |
|- btrfs_folio_clear_ordered() | |
| Folio 0 still locked, safe | |
| | | Ordered extent already allocated.
| | | Nothing to do.
| | |- extent_writepage_io()
| | |- btrfs_writepage_cow_fixup()
|- btrfs_folio_clear_ordered() | |
Folio 4K hold by thread B, | |
UNSAFE! | |- btrfs_test_ordered()
| | Cleared by thread A,
| |
| |- DEBUG_WARN();
This is only possible after run_delalloc_nocow() failure, as
cow_file_range() will keep all folios and io tree range locked, until
everything is finished or after error handling.
The root cause is we allow fallback_to_cow() and nocow_one_range() to
unlock the folios after a successful run, so that during error handling
we're no longer safe to use btrfs_cleanup_ordered_extents() as the
folios are already unlocked.
[FIX]
- Make fallback_to_cow() and nocow_one_range() to keep folios locked
after a successful run
For fallback_to_cow() we can pass COW_FILE_RANGE_KEEP_LOCKED flag
into cow_file_range().
For nocow_one_range() we have to remove the PAGE_UNLOCK flag from
extent_clear_unlock_delalloc().
- Unlock folios if everything is fine in run_delalloc_nocow()
- Use extent_clear_unlock_delalloc() to handle range [@start,
@cur_offset) inside run_delalloc_nocow()
Since folios are still locked, we do not need
cleanup_dirty_folios() to do the cleanup.
extent_clear_unlock_delalloc() with "PAGE_START_WRITEBACK |
PAGE_END_WRITEBACK" will clear the dirty flags.
- Remove cleanup_dirty_folios()
