[CAUSE]
All these call sites are only relying on root-&gt;reloc_root, which can
undergo btrfs_drop_snapshot(), and since we don't have real refcount
based protection to reloc roots, we can reach already dropped reloc
root, triggering KASAN.

[FIX]
To avoid such access to unstable root-&gt;reloc_root, we should check
BTRFS_ROOT_DEAD_RELOC_TREE bit first.

This patch introduces wrappers that provide the correct way to check the
bit with memory barriers protection.

Most callers don't distinguish merged reloc tree and no reloc tree.  The
only exception is should_ignore_root(), as merged reloc tree can be
ignored, while no reloc tree shouldn't.

[CRITICAL SECTION ANALYSIS]
Although test_bit()/set_bit()/clear_bit() doesn't imply a barrier, the
DEAD_RELOC_TREE bit has extra help from transaction as a higher level
barrier, the lifespan of root::reloc_root and DEAD_RELOC_TREE bit are:

	NULL: reloc_root is NULL	PTR: reloc_root is not NULL
	0: DEAD_RELOC_ROOT bit not set	DEAD: DEAD_RELOC_ROOT bit set

	(NULL, 0)    Initial state		 __
	  |					 /\ Section A
        btrfs_init_reloc_root()			 \/
	  |				 	 __
	(PTR, 0)     reloc_root initialized      /\
          |					 |
	btrfs_update_reloc_root()		 |  Section B
          |					 |
	(PTR, DEAD)  reloc_root has been merged  \/
          |					 __
	=== btrfs_commit_transaction() ====================
	  |					 /\
	clean_dirty_subvols()			 |
	  |					 |  Section C
	(NULL, DEAD) reloc_root cleanup starts   \/
          |					 __
	btrfs_drop_snapshot()			 /\
	  |					 |  Section D
	(NULL, 0)    Back to initial state	 \/

Every have_reloc_root() or test_bit(DEAD_RELOC_ROOT) caller holds
transaction handle, so none of such caller can cross transaction boundary.

In Section A, every caller just found no DEAD bit, and grab reloc_root.

In the cross section A-B, caller may get no DEAD bit, but since reloc_root
is still completely valid thus accessing reloc_root is completely safe.

No test_bit() caller can cross the boundary of Section B and Section C.

In Section C, every caller found the DEAD bit, so no one will access
reloc_root.

In the cross section C-D, either caller gets the DEAD bit set, avoiding
access reloc_root no matter if it's safe or not.  Or caller get the DEAD
bit cleared, then access reloc_root, which is already NULL, nothing will
be wrong.

The memory write barriers are between the reloc_root updates and bit
set/clear, the pairing read side is before test_bit.

<title>btrfs: do not leak reloc root if we fail to read the fs root</title>

If we fail to read the fs root corresponding with a reloc root we'll
just break out and free the reloc roots.  But we remove our current
reloc_root from this list higher up, which means we'll leak this
reloc_root.  Fix this by adding ourselves back to the reloc_roots list
so we are properly cleaned up.

We can now remove the bdev from extent_map. Previous patches made sure
that bio_set_dev is correctly in all places and that we don't need to
grab it from latest_bdev or pass it around inside the extent map.

  ---[ end trace 166c865cec7688e7 ]---

[CAUSE]
The error number -27 is -EFBIG, returned from the following call chain:
btrfs_end_transaction()
|- __btrfs_end_transaction()
   |- btrfs_create_pending_block_groups()
      |- btrfs_finish_chunk_alloc()
         |- btrfs_add_system_chunk()

This happens because we have used up all space of
btrfs_super_block::sys_chunk_array.

The root cause is, we have the following bad loop of creating tons of
system chunks:

1. The only SYSTEM chunk is being scrubbed
   It's very common to have only one SYSTEM chunk.
2. New SYSTEM bg will be allocated
   As btrfs_inc_block_group_ro() will check if we have enough space
   after marking current bg RO. If not, then allocate a new chunk.
3. New SYSTEM bg is still empty, will be reclaimed
   During the reclaim, we will mark it RO again.
4. That newly allocated empty SYSTEM bg get scrubbed
   We go back to step 2, as the bg is already mark RO but still not
   cleaned up yet.

If the cleaner kthread doesn't get executed fast enough (e.g. only one
CPU), then we will get more and more empty SYSTEM chunks, using up all
the space of btrfs_super_block::sys_chunk_array.

[FIX]
Since scrub/dev-replace doesn't always need to allocate new extent,
especially chunk tree extent, so we don't really need to do chunk
pre-allocation.

To break above spiral, here we introduce a new parameter to
btrfs_inc_block_group(), @do_chunk_alloc, which indicates whether we
need extra chunk pre-allocation.

For relocation, we pass @do_chunk_alloc=true, while for scrub, we pass
@do_chunk_alloc=false.
This should keep unnecessary empty chunks from popping up for scrub.

Also, since there are two parameters for btrfs_inc_block_group_ro(),
add more comment for it.

4. That newly allocated empty SYSTEM bg get scrubbed
   We go back to step 2, as the bg is already mark RO but still not
   cleaned up yet.

If the cleaner kthread doesn't get executed fast enough (e.g. only one
CPU), then we will get more and more empty SYSTEM chunks, using up all
the space of btrfs_super_block::sys_chunk_array.

[FIX]
Since scrub/dev-replace doesn't always need to allocate new extent,
especially chunk tree extent, so we don't really need to do chunk
pre-allocation.

To break above spiral, here we introduce a new parameter to
btrfs_inc_block_group(), @do_chunk_alloc, which indicates whether we
need extra chunk pre-allocation.

For relocation, we pass @do_chunk_alloc=true, while for scrub, we pass
@do_chunk_alloc=false.
This should keep unnecessary empty chunks from popping up for scrub.

Also, since there are two parameters for btrfs_inc_block_group_ro(),
add more comment for it.

The type name is misleading, a single entry is named 'cache' while this
normally means a collection of objects. Rename that everywhere. Also the
identifier was quite long, making function prototypes harder to format.

<title>btrfs: add dedicated members for start and length of a block group</title>

The on-disk format of block group item makes use of the key that stores
the offset and length. This is further used in the code, although this
makes thing harder to understand. The key is also packed so the
offset/length is not properly aligned as u64.

Add start (key.objectid) and length (key.offset) members to block group
and remove the embedded key.  When the item is searched or written, a
local variable for key is used.

For unknown reasons, the member 'used' in the block group struct is
stored in the b-tree item and accessed everywhere using the special
accessor helper. Let's unify it and make it a regular member and only
update the item before writing it to the tree.

The item is still being used for flags and chunk_objectid, there's some
duplication until the item is removed in following patches.

<title>btrfs: qgroup: Always free PREALLOC META reserve in btrfs_delalloc_release_extents()</title>
<updated>2019-10-15T16:50:07+00:00</updated>

<id>8702ba9396bf7bbae2ab93c94acd4bd37cfa4f09</id>
<content type='text'>
[Background]
Btrfs qgroup uses two types of reserved space for METADATA space,
PERTRANS and PREALLOC.

PERTRANS is metadata space reserved for each transaction started by
btrfs_start_transaction().
While PREALLOC is for delalloc, where we reserve space before joining a
transaction, and finally it will be converted to PERTRANS after the
writeback is done.

[Inconsistency]
However there is inconsistency in how we handle PREALLOC metadata space.

The most obvious one is:
In btrfs_buffered_write():
	btrfs_delalloc_release_extents(BTRFS_I(inode), reserve_bytes, true);

We always free qgroup PREALLOC meta space.

While in btrfs_truncate_block():
	btrfs_delalloc_release_extents(BTRFS_I(inode), blocksize, (ret != 0));

We only free qgroup PREALLOC meta space when something went wrong.

[The Correct Behavior]
The correct behavior should be the one in btrfs_buffered_write(), we
should always free PREALLOC metadata space.

The reason is, the btrfs_delalloc_* mechanism works by:
- Reserve metadata first, even it's not necessary
  In btrfs_delalloc_reserve_metadata()

- Free the unused metadata space
  Normally in:
  btrfs_delalloc_release_extents()
  |- btrfs_inode_rsv_release()
     Here we do calculation on whether we should release or not.

E.g. for 64K buffered write, the metadata rsv works like:

/* The first page */
reserve_meta:	num_bytes=calc_inode_reservations()
free_meta:	num_bytes=0
total:		num_bytes=calc_inode_reservations()
/* The first page caused one outstanding extent, thus needs metadata
   rsv */

/* The 2nd page */
reserve_meta:	num_bytes=calc_inode_reservations()
free_meta:	num_bytes=calc_inode_reservations()
total:		not changed
/* The 2nd page doesn't cause new outstanding extent, needs no new meta
   rsv, so we free what we have reserved */

/* The 3rd~16th pages */
reserve_meta:	num_bytes=calc_inode_reservations()
free_meta:	num_bytes=calc_inode_reservations()
total:		not changed (still space for one outstanding extent)

This means, if btrfs_delalloc_release_extents() determines to free some
space, then those space should be freed NOW.
So for qgroup, we should call btrfs_qgroup_free_meta_prealloc() other
than btrfs_qgroup_convert_reserved_meta().

The good news is:
- The callers are not that hot
  The hottest caller is in btrfs_buffered_write(), which is already
  fixed by commit 336a8bb8e36a ("btrfs: Fix wrong
  btrfs_delalloc_release_extents parameter"). Thus it's not that
  easy to cause false EDQUOT.

- The trans commit in advance for qgroup would hide the bug
  Since commit f5fef4593653 ("btrfs: qgroup: Make qgroup async transaction
  commit more aggressive"), when btrfs qgroup metadata free space is slow,
  it will try to commit transaction and free the wrongly converted
  PERTRANS space, so it's not that easy to hit such bug.

[FIX]
So to fix the problem, remove the @qgroup_free parameter for
btrfs_delalloc_release_extents(), and always pass true to
btrfs_inode_rsv_release().
