Btrfs: fix race leading to BUG_ON when running delalloc for nodatacow
If we are using the NO_HOLES feature, we have a tiny time window when
running delalloc for a nodatacow inode where we can race with a concurrent
link or xattr add operation leading to a BUG_ON.
This happens because at run_delalloc_nocow() we end up casting a leaf item
of type BTRFS_INODE_[REF|EXTREF]_KEY or of type BTRFS_XATTR_ITEM_KEY to a
file extent item (struct btrfs_file_extent_item) and then analyse its
extent type field, which won't match any of the expected extent types
(values BTRFS_FILE_EXTENT_[REG|PREALLOC|INLINE]) and therefore trigger an
explicit BUG_ON(1).
The following sequence diagram shows how the race happens when running a
no-cow dellaloc range [4K, 8K[ for inode 257 and we have the following
neighbour leafs:
Leaf X (has N items) Leaf Y
[ ... (257 INODE_ITEM 0) (257 INODE_REF 256) ] [ (257 EXTENT_DATA 8192), ... ]
slot N - 2 slot N - 1 slot 0
(Note the implicit hole for inode 257 regarding the [0, 8K[ range)
CPU 1 CPU 2
run_dealloc_nocow()
btrfs_lookup_file_extent()
--> searches for a key with value
(257 EXTENT_DATA 4096) in the
fs/subvol tree
--> returns us a path with
path->nodes[0] == leaf X and
path->slots[0] == N
because path->slots[0] is >=
btrfs_header_nritems(leaf X), it
calls btrfs_next_leaf()
btrfs_next_leaf()
--> releases the path
hard link added to our inode,
with key (257 INODE_REF 500)
added to the end of leaf X,
so leaf X now has N + 1 keys
--> searches for the key
(257 INODE_REF 256), because
it was the last key in leaf X
before it released the path,
with path->keep_locks set to 1
--> ends up at leaf X again and
it verifies that the key
(257 INODE_REF 256) is no longer
the last key in the leaf, so it
returns with path->nodes[0] ==
leaf X and path->slots[0] == N,
pointing to the new item with
key (257 INODE_REF 500)
the loop iteration of run_dealloc_nocow()
does not break out the loop and continues
because the key referenced in the path
at path->nodes[0] and path->slots[0] is
for inode 257, its type is < BTRFS_EXTENT_DATA_KEY
and its offset (500) is less then our delalloc
range's end (8192)
the item pointed by the path, an inode reference item,
is (incorrectly) interpreted as a file extent item and
we get an invalid extent type, leading to the BUG_ON(1):
if (extent_type == BTRFS_FILE_EXTENT_REG ||
extent_type == BTRFS_FILE_EXTENT_PREALLOC) {
(...)
} else if (extent_type == BTRFS_FILE_EXTENT_INLINE) {
(...)
} else {
BUG_ON(1)
}
The same can happen if a xattr is added concurrently and ends up having
a key with an offset smaller then the delalloc's range end.
So fix this by skipping keys with a type smaller than
BTRFS_EXTENT_DATA_KEY.
