commit 0cad8f14d70cfeb5173dce93cafeba665a95430e upstream.

When using the logical to ino ioctl v2, if the flag to ignore offsets of
file extent items (BTRFS_LOGICAL_INO_ARGS_IGNORE_OFFSET) is given, the
backref walking code ends up not returning references for all file offsets
of an inode that point to the given logical bytenr. This happens since
kernel 6.2, commit 6ce6ba534418 ("btrfs: use a single argument for extent
offset in backref walking functions") because:

1) It mistakenly skipped the search for file extent items in a leaf that
   point to the target extent if that flag is given. Instead it should
   only skip the filtering done by check_extent_in_eb() - that is, it
   should not avoid the calls to that function (or find_extent_in_eb(),
   which uses it).

2) It was also not building a list of inode extent elements (struct
   extent_inode_elem) if we have multiple inode references for an extent
   when the ignore offset flag is given to the logical to ino ioctl - it
   would leave a single element, only the last one that was found.

These stem from the confusing old interface for backref walking functions
where we had an extent item offset argument that was a pointer to a u64
and another boolean argument that indicated if the offset should be
ignored, but the pointer could be NULL. That NULL case is used by
relocation, qgroup extent accounting and fiemap, simply to avoid building
the inode extent list for each reference, as it's not necessary for those
use cases and therefore avoids memory allocations and some computations.

Fix this by adding a boolean argument to the backref walk context
structure to indicate that the inode extent list should not be built,
make relocation set that argument to true and fix the backref walking
logic to skip the calls to check_extent_in_eb() and find_extent_in_eb()
only if this new argument is true, instead of 'ignore_extent_item_pos'
being true.

A test case for fstests will be added soon, to provide cover not only
for these cases but to the logical to ino ioctl in general as well, as
currently we do not have a test case for it.

<title>btrfs: ignore fiemap path cache when there are multiple paths for a node</title>

commit 2280d425ba3599bdd85c41bd0ec8ba568f00c032 upstream.

During fiemap, when walking backreferences to determine if a b+tree
node/leaf is shared, we may find a tree block (leaf or node) for which
two parents were added to the references ulist. This happens if we get
for example one direct ref (shared tree block ref) and one indirect ref
(non-shared tree block ref) for the tree block at the current level,
which can happen during relocation.

In that case the fiemap path cache can not be used since it's meant for
a single path, with one tree block at each possible level, so having
multiple references for a tree block at any level may result in getting
the level counter exceed BTRFS_MAX_LEVEL and eventually trigger the
warning:

   WARN_ON_ONCE(level &gt;= BTRFS_MAX_LEVEL)

at lookup_backref_shared_cache() and at store_backref_shared_cache().
This is harmless since the code ignores any level &gt;= BTRFS_MAX_LEVEL, the
warning is there just to catch any unexpected case like the one described
above. However if a user finds this it may be scary and get reported.

So just ignore the path cache once we find a tree block for which there
are more than one reference, which is the less common case, and update
the cache with the sharedness check result for all levels below the level
for which we found multiple references.

<title>btrfs: fix resolving backrefs for inline extent followed by prealloc</title>

If a file consists of an inline extent followed by a regular or prealloc
extent, then a legitimate attempt to resolve a logical address in the
non-inline region will result in add_all_parents reading the invalid
offset field of the inline extent. If the inline extent item is placed
in the leaf eb s.t. it is the first item, attempting to access the
offset field will not only be meaningless, it will go past the end of
the eb and cause this panic:

There are several different tree block parentness check parameters used
across several helpers:

- level
  Mandatory

- transid
  Under most cases it's mandatory, but there are several backref cases
  which skips this check.

- owner_root
- first_key
  Utilized by most top-down tree search routine. Otherwise can be
  skipped.

Those four members are not always mandatory checks, and some of them are
the same u64, which means if some arguments got swapped compiler will
not catch it.

Furthermore if we're going to further expand the parentness check, we
need to modify quite some helpers just to add one more parameter.

This patch will concentrate all these members into a structure called
btrfs_tree_parent_check, and pass that structure for the following
helpers:

- btrfs_read_extent_buffer()
- read_tree_block()

<content type='text'>
When doing backref walking to determine a source range to clone from, it
is worthless to collect and resolve our own data backref, as we can't
obviously use it as a clone source and it represents the range we want to
clone into. Collecting the backref implies doing the extra work to resolve
it, doing the search for a file extent item in a subvolume tree, etc.
Skipping the data backref is valid as long as we only have the send root
as the single clone root, otherwise the leaf with the file extent item may
be accessible from another clone root due to shared subtrees created by
snapshots, and therefore we have to collect the backref and resolve it.

So add a callback to the backref walking code to guide it to skip data
backrefs.

This change is part of a patchset comprised of the following patches:

  01/17 btrfs: fix inode list leak during backref walking at resolve_indirect_refs()
  02/17 btrfs: fix inode list leak during backref walking at find_parent_nodes()
  03/17 btrfs: fix ulist leaks in error paths of qgroup self tests
  04/17 btrfs: remove pointless and double ulist frees in error paths of qgroup tests
  05/17 btrfs: send: avoid unnecessary path allocations when finding extent clone
  06/17 btrfs: send: update comment at find_extent_clone()
  07/17 btrfs: send: drop unnecessary backref context field initializations
  08/17 btrfs: send: avoid unnecessary backref lookups when finding clone source
  09/17 btrfs: send: optimize clone detection to increase extent sharing
  10/17 btrfs: use a single argument for extent offset in backref walking functions
  11/17 btrfs: use a structure to pass arguments to backref walking functions
  12/17 btrfs: reuse roots ulist on each leaf iteration for iterate_extent_inodes()
  13/17 btrfs: constify ulist parameter of ulist_next()
  14/17 btrfs: send: cache leaf to roots mapping during backref walking
  15/17 btrfs: send: skip unnecessary backref iterations
  16/17 btrfs: send: avoid double extent tree search when finding clone source
  17/17 btrfs: send: skip resolution of our own backref when finding clone source

The following test was run on non-debug kernel (Debian's default kernel
config) before and after applying the patchset:

   $ cat test-send-many-shared-extents.sh
   #!/bin/bash

   mount $DEV $MNT

   start=$(date +%s%N)
   btrfs send -p $MNT/snap1 $MNT/snap2 &gt; /dev/null
   end=$(date +%s%N)

   dur=$(( (end - start) / 1000000000 ))
   echo -e "\nIncremental send took $dur seconds"

   umount $MNT

Before applying the patchset:

<title>btrfs: send: avoid double extent tree search when finding clone source</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux-stable.git/commit/?id=f73853c7168aef0e071c160979af05a148691e61'/>
<id>f73853c7168aef0e071c160979af05a148691e61</id>

At find_extent_clone() we search twice for the extent item corresponding
to the data extent that the current file extent items points to:

1) Once with a call to extent_from_logical();

2) Once again during backref walking, through iterate_extent_inodes()
   which eventually leads to find_parent_nodes() where we will search
   again the extent tree for the same extent item.

The extent tree can be huge, so doing this one extra search for every
extent we want to send adds up and it's expensive.

The first call is there since the send code was introduced and it
accomplishes two things:

1) Check that the extent is flagged as a data extent in the extent tree.
   But it can not be anything else, otherwise we wouldn't have a file
   extent item in the send root pointing to it.
   This was probably added to catch bugs in the early days where send was
   yet too young and the interaction with everything else was far from
   perfect;

2) Check how many direct references there are on the extent, and if
   there's too many (more than SEND_MAX_EXTENT_REFS), avoid doing the
   backred walking as it may take too long and slowdown send.

So improve on this by having a callback in the backref walking code that
is called when it finds the extent item in the extent tree, and have those
checks done in the callback. When the callback returns anything different
from 0, it stops the backref walking code. This way we do a single search
on the extent tree for the extent item of our data extent.

Also, before this change we were only checking the number of references on
the data extent against SEND_MAX_EXTENT_REFS, but after starting backref
walking we will end up resolving backrefs for extent buffers in the path
from a leaf having a file extent item pointing to our data extent, up to
roots of trees from which the extent buffer is accessible from, due to
shared subtrees resulting from snapshoting. We were therefore allowing for
the possibility for send taking too long due to some node in the path from
the leaf to a root node being shared too many times. After this change we
check for reference counts being greater than SEND_MAX_EXTENT_REFS for
both data extents and metadata extents.

This change is part of a patchset comprised of the following patches:

  01/17 btrfs: fix inode list leak during backref walking at resolve_indirect_refs()
  02/17 btrfs: fix inode list leak during backref walking at find_parent_nodes()
  03/17 btrfs: fix ulist leaks in error paths of qgroup self tests

When looking for a clone source for an extent, we are iterating over all
the backreferences for an extent. This is often a waste of time, because
once we find a good clone source we could stop immediately instead of
continuing backref walking, which is expensive.

Basically what happens currently is this:

1) Call iterate_extent_inodes() to iterate over all the backreferences;

2) It calls btrfs_find_all_leafs() which in turn calls the main function
   to walk over backrefs and collect them - find_parent_nodes();

3) Then we collect all the references for our target data extent from the
   extent tree (and delayed refs if any), add them to the rb trees,
   resolve all the indirect backreferences and search for all the file
   extent items in fs trees, building a list of inodes for each one of
   them (struct extent_inode_elem);

4) Then back at iterate_extent_inodes() we find all the roots associated
   to each found leaf, and call the callback __iterate_backrefs defined
   at send.c for each inode in the inode list associated to each leaf.

Some times one the first backreferences we find in a fs tree is optimal
to satisfy the clone operation that send wants to perform, and in that
case we could stop immediately and avoid resolving all the remaining
indirect backreferences (search fs trees for the respective file extent
items, etc). This possibly if when we find a fs tree leaf with a file
extent item we are able to know what are all the roots that can lead to
the leaf - this is now possible after the previous patch in the series
that adds a cache that maps leaves to a list of roots. So we can now
shortcircuit backref walking during send, by having the callback we
pass to iterate_extent_inodes() to be called when we find a file extent
item for an indirect backreference, and have it return a special value
when it found a suitable backreference and it does not need to look for
more backreferences. This change does that.

This change is part of a patchset comprised of the following patches:

  01/17 btrfs: fix inode list leak during backref walking at resolve_indirect_refs()
  02/17 btrfs: fix inode list leak during backref walking at find_parent_nodes()

When looking for a clone source for an extent, we are iterating over all
the backreferences for an extent. This is often a waste of time, because
once we find a good clone source we could stop immediately instead of
continuing backref walking, which is expensive.

Basically what happens currently is this:

1) Call iterate_extent_inodes() to iterate over all the backreferences;

2) It calls btrfs_find_all_leafs() which in turn calls the main function
   to walk over backrefs and collect them - find_parent_nodes();

3) Then we collect all the references for our target data extent from the
   extent tree (and delayed refs if any), add them to the rb trees,
   resolve all the indirect backreferences and search for all the file
   extent items in fs trees, building a list of inodes for each one of
   them (struct extent_inode_elem);

4) Then back at iterate_extent_inodes() we find all the roots associated
   to each found leaf, and call the callback __iterate_backrefs defined
   at send.c for each inode in the inode list associated to each leaf.

Some times one the first backreferences we find in a fs tree is optimal
to satisfy the clone operation that send wants to perform, and in that
case we could stop immediately and avoid resolving all the remaining
indirect backreferences (search fs trees for the respective file extent
items, etc). This possibly if when we find a fs tree leaf with a file
extent item we are able to know what are all the roots that can lead to
the leaf - this is now possible after the previous patch in the series

item for an indirect backreference, and have it return a special value

During a send operation, when doing backref walking to determine which
inodes/offsets/roots we can clone from, the most repetitive and expensive
step is to map each leaf that has file extent items pointing to the target
data extent to the IDs of the roots from which the leaves are accessible,
which happens at iterate_extent_inodes(). That step requires finding every
parent node of a leaf, then the parent of each parent, and so on until we
reach a root node. So it's a naturally expensive operation, and repetitive
because each leaf can have hundreds of file extent items (for a nodesize
of 16K, that can be slightly over 200 file extent items). There's also
temporal locality, as we process all file extent items from a leave before
moving the next leaf.

This change caches the mapping of leaves to root IDs, to avoid repeating
those computations over and over again. The cache is limited to a maximum
of 128 entries, with each entry being a struct with a size of 128 bytes,
so the maximum cache size is 16K plus any nodes internally allocated by
the maple tree that is used to index pointers to those structs. The cache
is invalidated whenever we detect relocation happened since we started
filling the cache, because if relocation happened then extent buffers for
leaves and nodes of the trees used by a send operation may have been
reallocated.

This cache also allows for another important optimization that is
introduced in the next patch in the series.

This change is part of a patchset comprised of the following patches:

  01/17 btrfs: fix inode list leak during backref walking at resolve_indirect_refs()
  02/17 btrfs: fix inode list leak during backref walking at find_parent_nodes()
  03/17 btrfs: fix ulist leaks in error paths of qgroup self tests
  04/17 btrfs: remove pointless and double ulist frees in error paths of qgroup tests

  08/17 btrfs: send: avoid unnecessary backref lookups when finding clone source

At iterate_extent_inodes() we collect a ulist of leaves for a given extent
with a call to btrfs_find_all_leafs() and then we enter a loop where we
iterate over all the collected leaves. Each iteration of that loop does a
call to btrfs_find_all_roots_safe(), to determine all roots from which a
leaf is accessible, and that results in allocating and releasing a ulist
to store the root IDs.

Instead of allocating and releasing the roots ulist on every iteration,
allocate a ulist before entering the loop and keep using it on each
iteration, reinitializing the ulist at the end of each iteration.
