From: Filipe Manana fdmanana@suse.com Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2020 13:33:05 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: fix bytes_may_use underflow when running balance and scrub in parallel
When balance and scrub are running in parallel it is possible to end up with an underflow of the bytes_may_use counter of the data space_info object, which triggers a warning like the following:

When relocating a data block group, for each extent allocated in the block group we preallocate another extent with the same size for the data relocation inode (we do it at prealloc_file_extent_cluster()). We reserve space by calling btrfs_check_data_free_space(), which ends up incrementing the data space_info's bytes_may_use counter, and then call btrfs_prealloc_file_range() to allocate the extent, which always decrements the bytes_may_use counter by the same amount.
The expectation is that writeback of the data relocation inode always follows a NOCOW path, by writing into the preallocated extents. However, when starting writeback we might end up falling back into the COW path, because the block group that contains the preallocated extent was turned into RO mode by a scrub running in parallel. The COW path then calls the extent allocator which ends up calling btrfs_add_reserved_bytes(), and this function decrements the bytes_may_use counter of the data space_info object by an amount corresponding to the size of the allocated extent, despite we haven't previously incremented it. When the counter currently has a value smaller then the allocated extent we reset the counter to 0 and emit a warning, otherwise we just decrement it and slowly mess up with this counter which is crucial for space reservation, the end result can be granting reserved space to tasks when there isn't really enough free space, and having the tasks fail later in critical places where error handling consists of a transaction abort or hitting a BUG_ON().
Fix this by making sure that if we fallback to the COW path for a data relocation inode, we increment the bytes_may_use counter of the data space_info object. The COW path will then decrement it at btrfs_add_reserved_bytes() on success or through its error handling part by a call to extent_clear_unlock_delalloc() (which ends up calling btrfs_clear_delalloc_extent() that does the decrement operation) in case of an error.
Test case btrfs/061 from fstests could sporadically trigger this.
