commit d96b34248c2f4ea8cd09286090f2f6f77102eaab upstream.

We don't allow send and balance/relocation to run in parallel in order
to prevent send failing or silently producing some bad stream. This is
because while send is using an extent (specially metadata) or about to
read a metadata extent and expecting it belongs to a specific parent
node, relocation can run, the transaction used for the relocation is
committed and the extent gets reallocated while send is still using the
extent, so it ends up with a different content than expected. This can
result in just failing to read a metadata extent due to failure of the
validation checks (parent transid, level, etc), failure to find a
backreference for a data extent, and other unexpected failures. Besides
reallocation, there's also a similar problem of an extent getting
discarded when it's unpinned after the transaction used for block group
relocation is committed.

The restriction between balance and send was added in commit 9e967495e0e0
("Btrfs: prevent send failures and crashes due to concurrent relocation"),
kernel 5.3, while the more general restriction between send and relocation
was added in commit 1cea5cf0e664 ("btrfs: ensure relocation never runs
while we have send operations running"), kernel 5.14.

Both send and relocation can be very long running operations. Relocation
because it has to do a lot of IO and expensive backreference lookups in
case there are many snapshots, and send due to read IO when operating on
very large trees. This makes it inconvenient for users and tools to deal
with scheduling both operations.

For zoned filesystem we also have automatic block group relocation, so
send can fail with -EAGAIN when users least expect it or send can end up
delaying the block group relocation for too long. In the future we might
also get the automatic block group relocation for non zoned filesystems.

This change makes it possible for send and relocation to run in parallel.
This is achieved the following way:

1) For all tree searches, send acquires a read lock on the commit root
   semaphore;

2) After each tree search, and before releasing the commit root semaphore,
   the leaf is cloned and placed in the search path (struct btrfs_path);

3) After releasing the commit root semaphore, the changed_cb() callback
   is invoked, which operates on the leaf and writes commands to the pipe
   (or file in case send/receive is not used with a pipe). It's important
   here to not hold a lock on the commit root semaphore, because if we did
   we could deadlock when sending and receiving to the same filesystem
   using a pipe - the send task blocks on the pipe because it's full, the
   receive task, which is the only consumer of the pipe, triggers a
   transaction commit when attempting to create a subvolume or reserve
   space for a write operation for example, but the transaction commit
   blocks trying to write lock the commit root semaphore, resulting in a
   deadlock;

4) Before moving to the next key, or advancing to the next change in case
   of an incremental send, check if a transaction used for relocation was
   committed (or is about to finish its commit). If so, release the search
   path(s) and restart the search, to where we were before, so that we
   don't operate on stale extent buffers. The search restarts are always
   possible because both the send and parent roots are RO, and no one can
   add, remove of update keys (change their offset) in RO trees - the
   only exception is deduplication, but that is still not allowed to run
   in parallel with send;

5) Periodically check if there is contention on the commit root semaphore,
   which means there is a transaction commit trying to write lock it, and
   release the semaphore and reschedule if there is contention, so as to
   avoid causing any significant delays to transaction commits.

This leaves some room for optimizations for send to have less path
releases and re searching the trees when there's relocation running, but
for now it's kept simple as it performs quite well (on very large trees
with resulting send streams in the order of a few hundred gigabytes).

Test case btrfs/187, from fstests, stresses relocation, send and
deduplication attempting to run in parallel, but without verifying if send
succeeds and if it produces correct streams. A new test case will be added
that exercises relocation happening in parallel with send and then checks
that send succeeds and the resulting streams are correct.

A final note is that for now this still leaves the mutual exclusion
between send operations and deduplication on files belonging to a root
used by send operations. A solution for that will be slightly more complex
but it will eventually be built on top of this change.

commit b4be6aefa73c9a6899ef3ba9c5faaa8a66e333ef upstream.

We hit a bug with a recovering relocation on mount for one of our file
systems in production.  I reproduced this locally by injecting errors
into snapshot delete with balance running at the same time.  This
presented as an error while looking up an extent item

Normally snapshot deletion and relocation are excluded from running at
the same time by the fs_info-&gt;cleaner_mutex.  However if we had a
pending balance waiting to get the -&gt;cleaner_mutex, and a snapshot
deletion was running, and then the box crashed, we would come up in a
state where we have a half deleted snapshot.

Again, in the normal case the snapshot deletion needs to complete before
relocation can start, but in this case relocation could very well start
before the snapshot deletion completes, as we simply add the root to the
dead roots list and wait for the next time the cleaner runs to clean up
the snapshot.

Fix this by setting a bit on the fs_info if we have any DEAD_ROOT's that
had a pending drop_progress key.  If they do then we know we were in the
middle of the drop operation and set a flag on the fs_info.  Then
balance can wait until this flag is cleared to start up again.

If there are DEAD_ROOT's that don't have a drop_progress set then we're
safe to start balance right away as we'll be properly protected by the
cleaner_mutex.

<title>btrfs: fix deadlock between chunk allocation and chunk btree modifications</title>
<updated>2021-10-26T17:08:07Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=2bb2e00ed9787e52580bb651264b8d6a2b7a9dd2'/>
<id>urn:sha1:2bb2e00ed9787e52580bb651264b8d6a2b7a9dd2</id>
<content type='text'>
When a task is doing some modification to the chunk btree and it is not in
the context of a chunk allocation or a chunk removal, it can deadlock with
another task that is currently allocating a new data or metadata chunk.

These contexts are the following:

* When relocating a system chunk, when we need to COW the extent buffers
  that belong to the chunk btree;

* When adding a new device (ioctl), where we need to add a new device item
  to the chunk btree;

* When removing a device (ioctl), where we need to remove a device item
  from the chunk btree;

* When resizing a device (ioctl), where we need to update a device item in
  the chunk btree and may need to relocate a system chunk that lies beyond
  the new device size when shrinking a device.

The problem happens due to a sequence of steps like the following:

1) Task A starts a data or metadata chunk allocation and it locks the
   chunk mutex;

2) Task B is relocating a system chunk, and when it needs to COW an extent
   buffer of the chunk btree, it has locked both that extent buffer as
   well as its parent extent buffer;

3) Since there is not enough available system space, either because none
   of the existing system block groups have enough free space or because
   the only one with enough free space is in RO mode due to the relocation,
   task B triggers a new system chunk allocation. It blocks when trying to
   acquire the chunk mutex, currently held by task A;

4) Task A enters btrfs_chunk_alloc_add_chunk_item(), in order to insert
   the new chunk item into the chunk btree and update the existing device
   items there. But in order to do that, it has to lock the extent buffer
   that task B locked at step 2, or its parent extent buffer, but task B
   is waiting on the chunk mutex, which is currently locked by task A,
   therefore resulting in a deadlock.

One example report when the deadlock happens with system chunk relocation:

So fix this by making sure that whenever we try to modify the chunk btree
and we are neither in a chunk allocation context nor in a chunk remove
context, we reserve system space before modifying the chunk btree.

Instead of checking whether qgroup processing for a dealyed ref has to
happen in the core of delayed ref, simply pull the check at init time of
respective delayed ref structures. This eliminates the final use of
real_root in delayed-ref core paving the way to making this member
optional.

In order to make 'real_root' used only in ref-verify it's required to
have the necessary context to perform the same checks that this member
is used for. So add 'mod_root' which will contain the root on behalf of
which a delayed ref was created and a 'skip_group' parameter which
will contain callsite-specific override of skip_qgroup.

<content type='text'>
In btrfs code we have two functions called setup_extent_mapping, one in
the extent_map code and one in the relocation code. While both are
private to their respective implementation, this can still be confusing
for the reader.

So rename the version in relocation.c to setup_relocation_extent_mapping.
No functional changes.

<content type='text'>
Now that we use a dedicated block group and regular writes for data
relocation, we can preallocate the space needed for a relocated inode,
just like we do in regular mode.

Essentially this reverts commit 32430c614844 ("btrfs: zoned: enable
relocation on a zoned filesystem") as it is not needed anymore.

There are several places in our codebase where we check if a root is the
root of the data reloc tree and subsequent patches will introduce more.

Factor out the check into a small helper function instead of open coding
it multiple times.

We will no longer write to a relocating block group. So, we can finish it
now.

<title>btrfs: subpage: fix relocation potentially overwriting last page data</title>

<id>urn:sha1:9d9ea1e68a05ef852d612f0c49d274c86e1e710a</id>

[BUG]
When using the following script, btrfs will report data corruption after
one data balance with subpage support:

  mkfs.btrfs -f -s 4k $dev
  mount $dev -o nospace_cache $mnt
  $fsstress -w -n 8 -s 1620948986 -d $mnt/ -v &gt; /tmp/fsstress
  sync
  btrfs balance start -d $mnt
  btrfs scrub start -B $mnt

Similar problem can be easily observed in btrfs/028 test case, there
will be tons of balance failure with -EIO.

[CAUSE]
Above fsstress will result the following data extents layout in extent
tree:
  item 10 key (13631488 EXTENT_ITEM 98304) itemoff 15889 itemsize 82
    refs 2 gen 7 flags DATA
    extent data backref root FS_TREE objectid 259 offset 1339392 count 1
    extent data backref root FS_TREE objectid 259 offset 647168 count 1
  item 11 key (13631488 BLOCK_GROUP_ITEM 8388608) itemoff 15865 itemsize 24
    block group used 102400 chunk_objectid 256 flags DATA
  item 12 key (13733888 EXTENT_ITEM 4096) itemoff 15812 itemsize 53
    refs 1 gen 7 flags DATA
    extent data backref root FS_TREE objectid 259 offset 729088 count 1

Then when creating the data reloc inode, the data reloc inode will look
like this:

	0	32K	64K	96K 100K	104K
	|&lt;------ Extent A -----&gt;|   |&lt;- Ext B -&gt;|

Then when we first try to relocate extent A, we setup the data reloc
inode with i_size 96K, then read both page [0, 64K) and page [64K, 128K).

For page 64K, since the i_size is just 96K, we fill range [96K, 128K)
with 0 and set it uptodate.

Then when we come to extent B, we update i_size to 104K, then try to read
page [64K, 128K).
Then we find the page is already uptodate, so we skip the read.
But range [96K, 128K) is filled with 0, not the real data.

Then we writeback the data reloc inode to disk, with 0 filling range
[96K, 128K), corrupting the content of extent B.

The behavior is caused by the fact that we still do full page read for
subpage case.

The bug won't really happen for regular sectorsize, as one page only
contains one sector.

[FIX]
This patch will fix the problem by invalidating range [i_size, PAGE_END]
in prealloc_file_extent_cluster().

So that if above example happens, when we preallocate the file extent
for extent B, we will clear the uptodate bits for range [96K, 128K),
allowing later relocate_one_page() to re-read the needed range.

There is a special note for the invalidating part.

Since we're not calling real btrfs_invalidatepage(), but just clearing
the subpage and page uptodate bits, we can leave a page half dirty and
half out of date.

Reading such page can cause a deadlock, as we normally expect a dirty
page to be fully uptodate.

Thus here we flush and wait the data reloc inode before doing the hacked
invalidating.  This won't cause extra overhead, as we're going to
writeback the data later anyway.
