From: Filipe Manana fdmanana@suse.com Date: Mon, 1 Jun 2020 19:12:19 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: fix race between block group removal and block group creation
There is a race between block group removal and block group creation when the removal is completed by a task running fitrim or scrub. When this happens we end up failing the block group creation with an error -EEXIST since we attempt to insert a duplicate block group item key in the extent tree. That results in a transaction abort.
The race happens like this:
1) Task A is doing a fitrim, and at btrfs_trim_block_group() it freezes block group X with btrfs_freeze_block_group() (until very recently that was named btrfs_get_block_group_trimming());
2) Task B starts removing block group X, either because it's now unused or due to relocation for example. So at btrfs_remove_block_group(), while holding the chunk mutex and the block group's lock, it sets the 'removed' flag of the block group and it sets the local variable 'remove_em' to false, because the block group is currently frozen (its 'frozen' counter is > 0, until very recently this counter was named 'trimming');
3) Task B unlocks the block group and the chunk mutex;
4) Task A is done trimming the block group and unfreezes the block group by calling btrfs_unfreeze_block_group() (until very recently this was named btrfs_put_block_group_trimming()). In this function we lock the block group and set the local variable 'cleanup' to true because we were able to decrement the block group's 'frozen' counter down to 0 and the flag 'removed' is set in the block group.
Since 'cleanup' is set to true, it locks the chunk mutex and removes the extent mapping representing the block group from the mapping tree;
5) Task C allocates a new block group Y and it picks up the logical address that block group X had as the logical address for Y, because X was the block group with the highest logical address and now the second block group with the highest logical address, the last in the fs mapping tree, ends at an offset corresponding to block group X's logical address (this logical address selection is done at volumes.c:find_next_chunk()).
At this point the new block group Y does not have yet its item added to the extent tree (nor the corresponding device extent items and chunk item in the device and chunk trees). The new group Y is added to the list of pending block groups in the transaction handle;
6) Before task B proceeds to removing the block group item for block group X from the extent tree, which has a key matching:
(X logical offset, BTRFS_BLOCK_GROUP_ITEM_KEY, length)
task C while ending its transaction handle calls btrfs_create_pending_block_groups(), which finds block group Y and tries to insert the block group item for Y into the exten tree, which fails with -EEXIST since logical offset is the same that X had and task B hasn't yet deleted the key from the extent tree. This failure results in a transaction abort, producing a stack like the following:

Fix this simply by making btrfs_remove_block_group() remove the block group's item from the extent tree before it flags the block group as removed. Also make the free space deletion from the free space tree before flagging the block group as removed, to avoid a similar race with adding and removing free space entries for the free space tree.
