data_reloc_print_warning_inode() calls btrfs_get_fs_root() to obtain
local_root, but fails to release its reference when paths_from_inode()
returns an error. This causes a potential memory leak.

Add a missing btrfs_put_root() call in the error path to properly
decrease the reference count of local_root.

scrub_raid56_parity_stripe() allocates a bio with bio_alloc(), but
fails to release it on some error paths, leading to a potential
memory leak.

Add the missing bio_put() calls to properly drop the bio reference
in those error cases.

<title>btrfs: do not update last_log_commit when logging inode due to a new name</title>

<id>bfe3d755ef7cec71aac6ecda34a107624735aac7</id>
<content type='text'>
When logging that a new name exists, we skip updating the inode's
last_log_commit field to prevent a later explicit fsync against the inode
from doing nothing (as updating last_log_commit makes btrfs_inode_in_log()
return true). We are detecting, at btrfs_log_inode(), that logging a new
name is happening by checking the logging mode is not LOG_INODE_EXISTS,
but that is not enough because we may log parent directories when logging
a new name of a file in LOG_INODE_ALL mode - we need to check that the
logging_new_name field of the log context too.

An example scenario where this results in an explicit fsync against a
directory not persisting changes to the directory is the following:

  $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdc
  $ mount /dev/sdc /mnt

  $ touch /mnt/foo

  $ sync

  $ mkdir /mnt/dir

  # Write some data to our file and fsync it.
  $ xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xab 0 64K" -c "fsync" /mnt/foo

  # Add a new link to our file. Since the file was logged before, we
  # update it in the log tree by calling btrfs_log_new_name().
  $ ln /mnt/foo /mnt/dir/bar

  # fsync the root directory - we expect it to persist the dentry for
  # the new directory "dir".
  $ xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt

  &lt;power fail&gt;

After mounting the fs the entry for directory "dir" does not exists,
despite the explicit fsync on the root directory.

Here's why this happens:

1) When we fsync the file we log the inode, so that it's present in the
   log tree;

2) When adding the new link we enter btrfs_log_new_name(), and since the
   inode is in the log tree we proceed to updating the inode in the log
   tree;

3) We first set the inode's last_unlink_trans to the current transaction
   (early in btrfs_log_new_name());

4) We then eventually enter btrfs_log_inode_parent(), and after logging
   the file's inode, we call btrfs_log_all_parents() because the inode's
   last_unlink_trans matches the current transaction's ID (updated in the
   previous step);

5) So btrfs_log_all_parents() logs the root directory by calling
   btrfs_log_inode() for the root's inode with a log mode of LOG_INODE_ALL
   so that new dentries are logged;

6) At btrfs_log_inode(), because the log mode is LOG_INODE_ALL, we
   update root inode's last_log_commit to the last transaction that
   changed the inode (-&gt;last_sub_trans field of the inode), which
   corresponds to the current transaction's ID;

7) Then later when user space explicitly calls fsync against the root
   directory, we enter btrfs_sync_file(), which calls skip_inode_logging()
   and that returns true, since its call to btrfs_inode_in_log() returns
   true and there are no ordered extents (it's a directory, never has
   ordered extents). This results in btrfs_sync_file() returning without
   syncing the log or committing the current transaction, so all the
   updates we did when logging the new name, including logging the root
   directory,  are not persisted.

So fix this by but updating the inode's last_log_commit if we are sure
we are not logging a new name (if ctx-&gt;logging_new_name is false).

A test case for fstests will follow soon.

<title>btrfs: zoned: fix stripe width calculation</title>

The stripe offset calculation in the zoned code for raid0 and raid10
wrongly uses map-&gt;stripe_size to calculate it. In fact, map-&gt;stripe_size is
the size of the device extent composing the block group, which always is
the zone_size on the zoned setup.

Fix it by using BTRFS_STRIPE_LEN and BTRFS_STRIPE_LEN_SHIFT. Also, optimize
the calculation a bit by doing the common calculation only once.

When a block group contains both conventional zone and sequential zone, the
capacity of the block group is wrongly set to the block group's full
length. The capacity should be calculated in btrfs_load_block_group_* using
the last allocation offset.

<content type='text'>
In btrfs_fallocate(), when the allocated range overlaps with a prealloc
extent and the extent starts after i_size, the range doesn't get marked
dirty in file_extent_tree. This results in persisting an incorrect
disk_i_size for the inode when not using the no-holes feature.

This is reproducible since commit 41a2ee75aab0 ("btrfs: introduce
per-inode file extent tree"), then became hidden since commit 3d7db6e8bd22
("btrfs: don't allocate file extent tree for non regular files") and then
visible again after commit 8679d2687c35 ("btrfs: initialize
inode::file_extent_tree after i_mode has been set"), which fixes the
previous commit.

The following reproducer triggers the problem:

$ cat test.sh

MNT=/mnt/test
DEV=/dev/vdb

mkdir -p $MNT

mkfs.btrfs -f -O ^no-holes $DEV
mount $DEV $MNT

touch $MNT/file1
fallocate -n -o 1M -l 2M $MNT/file1

umount $MNT
mount $DEV $MNT

len=$((1 * 1024 * 1024))

fallocate -o 1M -l $len $MNT/file1

du --bytes $MNT/file1

umount $MNT
mount $DEV $MNT

du --bytes $MNT/file1

umount $MNT

Running the reproducer gives the following result:

$ ./test.sh
(...)
2097152 /mnt/test/file1
1048576 /mnt/test/file1

The difference is exactly 1048576 as we assigned.

Fix by adding a call to btrfs_inode_set_file_extent_range() in
btrfs_fallocate_update_isize().

per-inode file extent tree"), then became hidden since commit 3d7db6e8bd22
("btrfs: don't allocate file extent tree for non regular files") and then
visible again after commit 8679d2687c35 ("btrfs: initialize
inode::file_extent_tree after i_mode has been set"), which fixes the
previous commit.

The following reproducer triggers the problem:

$ cat test.sh

MNT=/mnt/test
DEV=/dev/vdb

mkdir -p $MNT

mkfs.btrfs -f -O ^no-holes $DEV
mount $DEV $MNT

touch $MNT/file1
fallocate -n -o 1M -l 2M $MNT/file1

umount $MNT
mount $DEV $MNT

len=$((1 * 1024 * 1024))

fallocate -o 1M -l $len $MNT/file1

du --bytes $MNT/file1

umount $MNT
mount $DEV $MNT

du --bytes $MNT/file1

umount $MNT

Running the reproducer gives the following result:

$ ./test.sh
(...)
2097152 /mnt/test/file1
1048576 /mnt/test/file1

The difference is exactly 1048576 as we assigned.

Fix by adding a call to btrfs_inode_set_file_extent_range() in
btrfs_fallocate_update_isize().

<title>btrfs: set inode flag BTRFS_INODE_COPY_EVERYTHING when logging new name</title>

If we are logging a new name make sure our inode has the runtime flag
BTRFS_INODE_COPY_EVERYTHING set so that at btrfs_log_inode() we will find
new inode refs/extrefs in the subvolume tree and copy them into the log
tree.

We are currently doing it when adding a new link but we are missing it
when renaming.

An example where this makes a new name not persisted:

  1) create symlink with name foo in directory A
  2) fsync directory A, which persists the symlink
  3) rename the symlink from foo to bar
  4) fsync directory A to persist the new symlink name

Step 4 isn't working correctly as it's not logging the new name and also
leaving the old inode ref in the log tree, so after a power failure the
symlink still has the old name of "foo". This is because when we first
fsync directoy A we log the symlink's inode (as it's a new entry) and at
btrfs_log_inode() we set the log mode to LOG_INODE_ALL and then because
we are using that mode and the inode has the runtime flag
BTRFS_INODE_NEEDS_FULL_SYNC set, we clear that flag as well as the flag
BTRFS_INODE_COPY_EVERYTHING. That means the next time we log the inode,
during the rename through the call to btrfs_log_new_name() (calling
btrfs_log_inode_parent() and then btrfs_log_inode()), we will not search
the subvolume tree for new refs/extrefs and jump directory to the
'log_extents' label.

Fix this by making sure we set BTRFS_INODE_COPY_EVERYTHING on an inode
when we are about to log a new name. A test case for fstests will follow
soon.

<title>btrfs: fix memory leak of qgroup_list in btrfs_add_qgroup_relation</title>

<content type='text'>
When btrfs_add_qgroup_relation() is called with invalid qgroup levels
(src &gt;= dst), the function returns -EINVAL directly without freeing the
preallocated qgroup_list structure passed by the caller. This causes a
memory leak because the caller unconditionally sets the pointer to NULL
after the call, preventing any cleanup.

The issue occurs because the level validation check happens before the
mutex is acquired and before any error handling path that would free
the prealloc pointer. On this early return, the cleanup code at the
'out' label (which includes kfree(prealloc)) is never reached.

In btrfs_ioctl_qgroup_assign(), the code pattern is:

    prealloc = kzalloc(sizeof(*prealloc), GFP_KERNEL);
    ret = btrfs_add_qgroup_relation(trans, sa-&gt;src, sa-&gt;dst, prealloc);
    prealloc = NULL;  // Always set to NULL regardless of return value
    ...
    kfree(prealloc);  // This becomes kfree(NULL), does nothing

When the level check fails, 'prealloc' is never freed by either the
callee or the caller, resulting in a 64-byte memory leak per failed
operation. This can be triggered repeatedly by an unprivileged user
with access to a writable btrfs mount, potentially exhausting kernel
memory.

Fix this by freeing prealloc before the early return, ensuring prealloc
is always freed on all error paths.
