Btrfs: fix reported number of inode blocks
Currently when there are buffered writes that were not yet flushed and they fall within allocated ranges of the file (that is, not in holes or beyond eof assuming there are no prealloc extents beyond eof), btrfs simply reports an incorrect number of used blocks through the stat(2) system call (or any of its variants), regardless of mount options or inode flags (compress, compress-force, nodatacow). This is because the number of blocks used that is reported is based on the current number of bytes in the vfs inode plus the number of dealloc bytes in the btrfs inode. The later covers bytes that both fall within allocated regions of the file and holes. Example scenarios where the number of reported blocks is wrong while the buffered writes are not flushed: $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdc $ mount /dev/sdc /mnt/sdc $ xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xaa 0 64K" /mnt/sdc/foo1 wrote 65536/65536 bytes at offset 0 64 KiB, 16 ops; 0.0000 sec (259.336 MiB/sec and 66390.0415 ops/sec) $ sync $ xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xbb 0 64K" /mnt/sdc/foo1 wrote 65536/65536 bytes at offset 0 64 KiB, 16 ops; 0.0000 sec (192.308 MiB/sec and 49230.7692 ops/sec) # The following should have reported 64K... $ du -h /mnt/sdc/foo1 128K /mnt/sdc/foo1 $ sync # After flushing the buffered write, it now reports the correct value. $ du -h /mnt/sdc/foo1 64K /mnt/sdc/foo1 $ xfs_io -f -c "falloc -k 0 128K" -c "pwrite -S 0xaa 0 64K" /mnt/sdc/foo2 wrote 65536/65536 bytes at offset 0 64 KiB, 16 ops; 0.0000 sec (520.833 MiB/sec and 133333.3333 ops/sec) $ sync $ xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xbb 64K 64K" /mnt/sdc/foo2 wrote 65536/65536 bytes at offset 65536 64 KiB, 16 ops; 0.0000 sec (260.417 MiB/sec and 66666.6667 ops/sec) # The following should have reported 128K... $ du -h /mnt/sdc/foo2 192K /mnt/sdc/foo2 $ sync # After flushing the buffered write, it now reports the correct value. $ du -h /mnt/sdc/foo2 128K /mnt/sdc/foo2 So the number of used file blocks is simply incorrect, unlike in other filesystems such as ext4 and xfs for example, but only while the buffered writes are not flushed. Fix this by tracking the number of delalloc bytes that fall within holes and beyond eof of a file, and use instead this new counter when reporting the number of used blocks for an inode. Another different problem that exists is that the delalloc bytes counter is reset when writeback starts (by clearing the EXTENT_DEALLOC flag from the respective range in the inode's iotree) and the vfs inode's bytes counter is only incremented when writeback finishes (through insert_reserved_file_extent()). Therefore while writeback is ongoing we simply report a wrong number of blocks used by an inode if the write operation covers a range previously unallocated. While this change does not fix this problem, it does minimizes it a lot by shortening that time window, as the new dealloc bytes counter (new_delalloc_bytes) is only decremented when writeback finishes right before updating the vfs inode's bytes counter. Fully fixing this second problem is not trivial and will be addressed later by a different patch. Signed-off-by: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>
