From 385fe0bede52a45cd960f30c7eb8d20ad8e1e05b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Liu Bo Date: Tue, 1 Oct 2013 23:49:49 +0800 Subject: Btrfs: fix crash of compressed writes The crash[1] is found by xfstests/generic/208 with "-o compress", it's not reproduced everytime, but it does panic. The bug is quite interesting, it's actually introduced by a recent commit (573aecafca1cf7a974231b759197a1aebcf39c2a, Btrfs: actually limit the size of delalloc range). Btrfs implements delay allocation, so during writeback, we (1) get a page A and lock it (2) search the state tree for delalloc bytes and lock all pages within the range (3) process the delalloc range, including find disk space and create ordered extent and so on. (4) submit the page A. It runs well in normal cases, but if we're in a racy case, eg. buffered compressed writes and aio-dio writes, sometimes we may fail to lock all pages in the 'delalloc' range, in which case, we need to fall back to search the state tree again with a smaller range limit(max_bytes = PAGE_CACHE_SIZE - offset). The mentioned commit has a side effect, that is, in the fallback case, we can find delalloc bytes before the index of the page we already have locked, so we're in the case of (delalloc_end <= *start) and return with (found > 0). This ends with not locking delalloc pages but making ->writepage still process them, and the crash happens. This fixes it by just thinking that we find nothing and returning to caller as the caller knows how to deal with it properly.
