From 4c782247b89376a83fa132f7d45d6977edae0629 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Filipe Manana fdmanana@suse.com Date: Wed, 5 Mar 2025 16:52:26 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: fix non-empty delayed iputs list on unmount due to compressed write workers
At close_ctree() after we have ran delayed iputs either through explicitly calling btrfs_run_delayed_iputs() or later during the call to btrfs_commit_super() or btrfs_error_commit_super(), we assert that the delayed iputs list is empty.
When we have compressed writes this assertion may fail because delayed iputs may have been added to the list after we last ran delayed iputs. This happens like this:
1) We have a compressed write bio executing;
2) We enter close_ctree() and flush the fs_info->endio_write_workers queue which is the queue used for running ordered extent completion;
3) The compressed write bio finishes and enters btrfs_finish_compressed_write_work(), where it calls btrfs_finish_ordered_extent() which in turn calls btrfs_queue_ordered_fn(), which queues a work item in the fs_info->endio_write_workers queue that we have flushed before;
4) At close_ctree() we proceed, run all existing delayed iputs and call btrfs_commit_super() (which also runs delayed iputs), but before we run the following assertion below:
ASSERT(list_empty(&fs_info->delayed_iputs))
A delayed iput is added by the step below...
5) The ordered extent completion job queued in step 3 runs and results in creating a delayed iput when dropping the last reference of the ordered extent (a call to btrfs_put_ordered_extent() made from btrfs_finish_one_ordered());
6) At this point the delayed iputs list is not empty, so the assertion at close_ctree() fails.
Fix this by flushing the fs_info->compressed_write_workers queue at close_ctree() before flushing the fs_info->endio_write_workers queue, respecting the queue dependency as the later is responsible for the execution of ordered extent completion.
