Btrfs: fix race between fs trimming and block group remove/allocation
Our fs trim operation, which is completely transactionless (doesn't start
or joins an existing transaction) consists of visiting all block groups
and then for each one to iterate its free space entries and perform a
discard operation against the space range represented by the free space
entries. However before performing a discard, the corresponding free space
entry is removed from the free space rbtree, and when the discard completes
it is added back to the free space rbtree.
If a block group remove operation happens while the discard is ongoing (or
before it starts and after a free space entry is hidden), we end up not
waiting for the discard to complete, remove the extent map that maps
logical address to physical addresses and the corresponding chunk metadata
from the the chunk and device trees. After that and before the discard
completes, the current running transaction can finish and a new one start,
allowing for new block groups that map to the same physical addresses to
be allocated and written to.
So fix this by keeping the extent map in memory until the discard completes
so that the same physical addresses aren't reused before it completes.
If the physical locations that are under a discard operation end up being
used for a new metadata block group for example, and dirty metadata extents
are written before the discard finishes (the VM might call writepages() of
our btree inode's i_mapping for example, or an fsync log commit happens) we
end up overwriting metadata with zeroes, which leads to errors from fsck
like the following:
