[ Upstream commit 08b096c1372cd69627f4f559fb47c9fb67a52b39 ]

Before accessing the disk_bytenr field of a file extent item we need
to check if we are dealing with an inline extent.
This is because for inline extents their data starts at the offset of
the disk_bytenr field. So accessing the disk_bytenr
means we are accessing inline data or in case the inline data is less
than 8 bytes we can actually cause an invalid
memory access if this inline extent item is the first item in the leaf
or access metadata from other items.

<title>btrfs: send: fix duplicated rmdir operations when using extrefs</title>

<content type='text'>
Commit 29d6d30f5c8a ("Btrfs: send, don't send rmdir for same target
multiple times") has fixed an issue that a send stream contained a rmdir
operation for the same directory multiple times. After that fix we keep
track of the last directory for which we sent a rmdir operation and
compare with it before sending a rmdir for the parent inode of a deleted
hardlink we are processing. But there is still a corner case that in
between rmdir dir operations for the same inode we find deleted hardlinks
for other parent inodes, so tracking just the last inode for which we sent
a rmdir operation is not enough.

Hardlinks of a file in the same directory are stored in the same INODE_REF
item, but if the number of hardlinks is too large and can not fit in a
leaf, we use INODE_EXTREF items to store them. The key of an INODE_EXTREF
item is (inode_id, INODE_EXTREF, hash[name, parent ino]), so between two
hardlinks for the same parent directory, we can find others for other
parent directories. For example for the reproducer below we get the
following (from a btrfs inspect-internal dump-tree output):

    item 0 key (259 INODE_EXTREF 2309449) itemoff 16257 itemsize 26
            index 6925 parent 257 namelen 8 name: foo.6923
    item 1 key (259 INODE_EXTREF 2311350) itemoff 16231 itemsize 26
            index 6588 parent 258 namelen 8 name: foo.6587
    item 2 key (259 INODE_EXTREF 2457395) itemoff 16205 itemsize 26
            index 6611 parent 257 namelen 8 name: foo.6609
    (...)

So tracking the last directory's inode number does not work in this case
since we process a link for parent inode 257, then for 258 and then back
again for 257, and that second time we process a deleted link for 257 we
think we have not yet sent a rmdir operation.

Fix this by using a rbtree to keep track of all the directories for which
we have already sent rmdir operations, and add those directories to the
'check_dirs' ref list in process_recorded_refs() only if the directory is
not yet in the rbtree, otherwise skip it since it means we have already
sent a rmdir operation for that directory.

The following test script reproduces the problem:

  $ cat test.sh
  #!/bin/bash

  DEV=/dev/sdi
  MNT=/mnt/sdi

  mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV
  mount $DEV $MNT

  mkdir $MNT/a $MNT/b

  echo 123 &gt; $MNT/a/foo
  for ((i = 1; i &lt;= 1000; i++)); do
     ln $MNT/a/foo $MNT/a/foo.$i
     ln $MNT/a/foo $MNT/b/foo.$i
  done

  btrfs subvolume snapshot -r $MNT $MNT/snap1
  btrfs send $MNT/snap1 -f /tmp/base.send

  rm -r $MNT/a $MNT/b

  btrfs subvolume snapshot -r $MNT $MNT/snap2
  btrfs send -p $MNT/snap1 $MNT/snap2 -f /tmp/incremental.send

  umount $MNT
  mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV
  mount $DEV $MNT

  btrfs receive $MNT -f /tmp/base.send
  btrfs receive $MNT -f /tmp/incremental.send

  rm -f /tmp/base.send /tmp/incremental.send

  umount $MNT

When running it, it fails like this:

  $ ./test.sh
  (...)
  At subvol snap1
  At snapshot snap2
  ERROR: rmdir o257-9-0 failed: No such file or directory

The warning -Wflex-array-member-not-at-end was introduced in GCC-14, and
we are getting ready to enable it, globally.

Fix the following warning:

  fs/btrfs/send.c:181:24: warning: structure containing a flexible array member is not at the end of another structure [-Wflex-array-member-not-at-end]

and move the declaration of send_ctx::cur_inode_path to the end.

Notice that struct fs_path contains a flexible array member inline_buf,
but also a padding array and a limit calculated for the usable space of
inline_buf (FS_PATH_INLINE_SIZE). It is not the pattern where flexible
array is in the middle of a structure and could potentially overwrite
other members.

Trivial pattern for the auto freeing with goto -&gt; return conversions
if possible.

The following cases are considered trivial in this patch:

1. Cases where there are no operations between btrfs_free_path() and the
   function returns.
2. Cases where only simple cleanup operations (such as kfree(), kvfree(),
   clear_bit(), and fs_path_free()) are present between
   btrfs_free_path() and the function return.

<title>btrfs: enable experimental bs &gt; ps support</title>

<id>98077f7f2180fa996710452564ebe71adc66af59</id>
<content type='text'>
With all the preparation patches, we're able to finally enable btrfs
block size (sector size) larger than page size support and give it a
full fstests run.

And obviously this new feature is hidden behind experimental flags, and
should not be considered as a core feature yet as btrfs' default block
size is still 4K.

But this is still a feature that will shine in the future where 16K
block sized device are widely adopted.

For now there are some features explicitly disabled:

- Direct IO
  This is the most complex part to support, the root reason is we can
  not control the pages of iov iter passed in.

  User space programs can only ensure the virtual addresses are
  contiguous, but have no control on their physical addresses.

  Our bs &gt; ps support heavily relies on large folios, and direct IO
  memory can easily break it.

  So direct IO is disabled and will always fall back to buffered IO.

- RAID56
  In theory we can convert RAID56 to use large folios, but it will need
  to be converted back to page based if we want to support direct IO in
  the future.
  So just reject it for now.

- Encoded send
- Encoded read
  Both are utilizing btrfs_encoded_read_regular_fill_pages(), and send
  is utilizing vmallocated memory.
  Unfortunately for vmallocated memory we can not guarantee the minimal
  folio order.

  For send, it will just always fallback to regular writes, which reads
  from page cache and will follow the existing folio order requirement.

- Encoded write
  Encoded write itself is allocating pages by themselves, and we can
  easily change it to follow the minimal order.
  But since encoded read is already disabled, there is no need to only
  enable encoded write.

Finally just like what we did for bs &lt; ps support in the past, add a
warning message for bs &gt; ps mounts.

But this is still a feature that will shine in the future where 16K
block sized device are widely adopted.

For now there are some features explicitly disabled:

- Direct IO
  This is the most complex part to support, the root reason is we can
  not control the pages of iov iter passed in.

  User space programs can only ensure the virtual addresses are
  contiguous, but have no control on their physical addresses.

  Our bs &gt; ps support heavily relies on large folios, and direct IO
  memory can easily break it.

  So direct IO is disabled and will always fall back to buffered IO.

- RAID56
  In theory we can convert RAID56 to use large folios, but it will need
  to be converted back to page based if we want to support direct IO in
  the future.
  So just reject it for now.

- Encoded send
- Encoded read
  Both are utilizing btrfs_encoded_read_regular_fill_pages(), and send
  is utilizing vmallocated memory.
  Unfortunately for vmallocated memory we can not guarantee the minimal
  folio order.

  For send, it will just always fallback to regular writes, which reads
  from page cache and will follow the existing folio order requirement.

- Encoded write
  Encoded write itself is allocating pages by themselves, and we can
  easily change it to follow the minimal order.
  But since encoded read is already disabled, there is no need to only
  enable encoded write.

Finally just like what we did for bs &lt; ps support in the past, add a
warning message for bs &gt; ps mounts.

<title>btrfs: send: index backref cache by node number instead of by sector number</title>

We now have a nodesize_bits member in fs_info so we can index an extent
buffer in the backref cache by node number instead of by sector number.
While this allows for a denser index space with the possibility of using
less maple tree nodes, in practice it's unlikely to hit such benefits
since we currently limit the maximum number of keys in the cache to 128,
so unless all extent buffers are contiguous we are unlikely to see a
memory usage reduction in the backing maple tree due to fewer nodes.
Nevertheless it doesn't cost anything to index by node number and it's
more logical.

Annual typo fixing pass. Strangely codespell found only about 30% of
what is in this patch, the rest was done manually using text
spellchecker with a custom dictionary of acceptable terms.
