[ Upstream commit bc7e0975093567f51be8e1bdf4aa5900a3cf0b1e ]

btrfs_prelim_ref() calls the old and new reference variables in the
incorrect order. This causes a NULL pointer dereference because oldref
is passed as NULL to trace_btrfs_prelim_ref_insert().

Note, trace_btrfs_prelim_ref_insert() is being called with newref as
oldref (and oldref as NULL) on purpose in order to print out
the values of newref.

To reproduce:
echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/btrfs/btrfs_prelim_ref_insert/enable

Perform some writeback operations.

Backtrace:

<title>btrfs: tracepoints: output proper root owner for trace_find_free_extent()</title>
<updated>2020-11-18T18:20:16Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=c58fa93b1409185bb6fbe9ba4ce8873c8508c1f3'/>
<id>urn:sha1:c58fa93b1409185bb6fbe9ba4ce8873c8508c1f3</id>
<content type='text'>
The current trace event always output result like this:

 find_free_extent: root=2(EXTENT_TREE) len=16384 empty_size=0 flags=4(METADATA)
 find_free_extent: root=2(EXTENT_TREE) len=16384 empty_size=0 flags=4(METADATA)
 find_free_extent: root=2(EXTENT_TREE) len=8192 empty_size=0 flags=1(DATA)
 find_free_extent: root=2(EXTENT_TREE) len=8192 empty_size=0 flags=1(DATA)
 find_free_extent: root=2(EXTENT_TREE) len=4096 empty_size=0 flags=1(DATA)
 find_free_extent: root=2(EXTENT_TREE) len=4096 empty_size=0 flags=1(DATA)

T's saying we're allocating data extent for EXTENT tree, which is not
even possible.

It's because we always use EXTENT tree as the owner for
trace_find_free_extent() without using the @root from
btrfs_reserve_extent().

This patch will change the parameter to use proper @root for
trace_find_free_extent():

Now it looks much better:

 find_free_extent: root=5(FS_TREE) len=16384 empty_size=0 flags=36(METADATA|DUP)
 find_free_extent: root=5(FS_TREE) len=8192 empty_size=0 flags=1(DATA)
 find_free_extent: root=5(FS_TREE) len=16384 empty_size=0 flags=1(DATA)
 find_free_extent: root=5(FS_TREE) len=4096 empty_size=0 flags=1(DATA)
 find_free_extent: root=5(FS_TREE) len=8192 empty_size=0 flags=1(DATA)
 find_free_extent: root=5(FS_TREE) len=16384 empty_size=0 flags=36(METADATA|DUP)
 find_free_extent: root=7(CSUM_TREE) len=16384 empty_size=0 flags=36(METADATA|DUP)
 find_free_extent: root=2(EXTENT_TREE) len=16384 empty_size=0 flags=36(METADATA|DUP)
 find_free_extent: root=1(ROOT_TREE) len=16384 empty_size=0 flags=36(METADATA|DUP)

<title>btrfs: tracepoints: Fix bad entry members of qgroup events</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1b2442b4ae0f234daeadd90e153b466332c466d8</id>
<content type='text'>
[BUG]
For btrfs:qgroup_meta_reserve event, the trace event can output garbage:

  qgroup_meta_reserve: 9c7f6acc-b342-4037-bc47-7f6e4d2232d7: refroot=5(FS_TREE) type=DATA diff=2
  qgroup_meta_reserve: 9c7f6acc-b342-4037-bc47-7f6e4d2232d7: refroot=5(FS_TREE) type=0x258792 diff=2

The @type can be completely garbage, as DATA type is not possible for
trace_qgroup_meta_reserve() trace event.

[CAUSE]
Ther are several problems related to qgroup trace events:
- Unassigned entry member
  Member entry::type of trace_qgroup_update_reserve() and
  trace_qgourp_meta_reserve() is not assigned

- Redundant entry member
  Member entry::type is completely useless in
  trace_qgroup_meta_convert()

Fixes: 4ee0d8832c2e ("btrfs: qgroup: Update trace events for metadata reservation")

Delayed iputs could very well free up enough space without needing to
commit the transaction, so make this step it's own step.  This will
allow us to skip the step for evictions in a later patch.

Those were split out of btrfs_clear_lock_blocking_rw by
aa12c02778a9 ("btrfs: split btrfs_clear_lock_blocking_rw to read and write helpers")
however at that time this function was unused due to commit
523983401644 ("Btrfs: kill btrfs_clear_path_blocking"). Put the final
nail in the coffin of those 2 functions.

Add trace event for update_bytes_pinned() and update_bytes_may_use() to
detect underflow better.

The output would be something like (only showing data part):

  ## Buffered write start, 16K total ##
  2255.954 xfs_io/860 btrfs:update_bytes_may_use:(nil)U: type=DATA old=0 diff=4096
  2257.169 sudo/860 btrfs:update_bytes_may_use:(nil)U: type=DATA old=4096 diff=4096
  2257.346 sudo/860 btrfs:update_bytes_may_use:(nil)U: type=DATA old=8192 diff=4096
  2257.542 sudo/860 btrfs:update_bytes_may_use:(nil)U: type=DATA old=12288 diff=4096

  ## Delalloc start ##
  3727.853 kworker/u8:3-e/700 btrfs:update_bytes_may_use:(nil)U: type=DATA old=16384 diff=-16384

  ## Space cache update ##
  3733.132 sudo/862 btrfs:update_bytes_may_use:(nil)U: type=DATA old=0 diff=65536
  3733.169 sudo/862 btrfs:update_bytes_may_use:(nil)U: type=DATA old=65536 diff=-65536
  3739.868 sudo/862 btrfs:update_bytes_may_use:(nil)U: type=DATA old=0 diff=65536
  3739.891 sudo/862 btrfs:update_bytes_may_use:(nil)U: type=DATA old=65536 diff=-65536

These two trace events will allow bcc tool to probe btrfs_space_info
changes and detect underflow with more details (e.g. backtrace for each
update).

Pull btrfs updates from David Sterba:
 "This time the majority of changes are cleanups, though there's still a
  number of changes of user interest.

  User visible changes:

   - better read time and write checks to catch errors early and before
     writing data to disk (to catch potential memory corruption on data
     that get checksummed)

   - qgroups + metadata relocation: last speed up patch int the series
     to address the slowness, there should be no overhead comparing
     balance with and without qgroups

   - FIEMAP ioctl does not start a transaction unnecessarily, this can
     result in a speed up and less blocking due to IO

   - LOGICAL_INO (v1, v2) does not start transaction unnecessarily, this
     can speed up the mentioned ioctl and scrub as well

   - fsync on files with many (but not too many) hardlinks is faster,
     finer decision if the links should be fsynced individually or
     completely

   - send tries harder to find ranges to clone

   - trim/discard will skip unallocated chunks that haven't been touched
     since the last mount

  Fixes:

   - send flushes delayed allocation before start, otherwise it could
     miss some changes in case of a very recent rw-&gt;ro switch of a
     subvolume

   - fix fallocate with qgroups that could lead to space accounting
     underflow, reported as a warning

   - trim/discard ioctl honours the requested range

   - starting send and dedupe on a subvolume at the same time will let
     only one of them succeed, this is to prevent changes that send
     could miss due to dedupe; both operations are restartable

  Core changes:

   - more tree-checker validations, errors reported by fuzzing tools:
      - device item
      - inode item
      - block group profiles

   - tracepoints for extent buffer locking

   - async cow preallocates memory to avoid errors happening too deep in
     the call chain

   - metadata reservations for delalloc reworked to better adapt in
     many-writers/low-space scenarios

   - improved space flushing logic for intense DIO vs buffered workloads

   - lots of cleanups
      - removed unused struct members
      - redundant argument removal
      - properties and xattrs
      - extent buffer locking
      - selftests
      - use common file type conversions
      - many-argument functions reduction"

Unlike btrfs_tree_lock() and btrfs_tree_read_lock(), the remaining
functions in locking.c will not sleep, thus doesn't make much sense to
record their execution time.

Those events are introduced mainly for user space tool to audit and
detect lock leakage or dead lock.

<id>urn:sha1:34e73cc930a8677426c9cbffdd3421e18f32e79f</id>
<content type='text'>
There are two tree lock events which can sleep:
- btrfs_tree_read_lock()
- btrfs_tree_lock()

Sometimes we may need to look into the concurrency picture of the fs.
For that case, we need the execution time of above two functions and the
owner of @eb.

Here we introduce a trace events for user space tools like bcc, to get
the execution time of above two functions, and get detailed owner info
where eBPF code can't.

All the overhead is hidden behind the trace events, so if events are not
enabled, there is no overhead.

These trace events also output bytenr and generation, allow them to be
pared with unlock events to pin down deadlock.

cache code.") and subsequently it's usage effectively was removed by
1edbb734b4e0 ("Btrfs: reduce CPU usage in the extent_state tree") and
f2a97a9dbd86 ("btrfs: remove all unused functions"). Just remove it,
no functional changes.
