Subject: Btrfs: fix race leading to BUG_ON when running delalloc for nodatacow

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>

commit 1d512cb77bdbda80f0dd0620a3b260d697fd581d upstream.

If we are using the NO_HOLES feature, we have a tiny time window when
running delalloc for a nodatacow inode where we can race with a concurrent
link or xattr add operation leading to a BUG_ON.

This happens because at run_delalloc_nocow() we end up casting a leaf item
of type BTRFS_INODE_[REF|EXTREF]_KEY or of type BTRFS_XATTR_ITEM_KEY to a
file extent item (struct btrfs_file_extent_item) and then analyse its
extent type field, which won't match any of the expected extent types
(values BTRFS_FILE_EXTENT_[REG|PREALLOC|INLINE]) and therefore trigger an
explicit BUG_ON(1).

The following sequence diagram shows how the race happens when running a
no-cow dellaloc range [4K, 8K[ for inode 257 and we have the following
neighbour leafs:

             Leaf X (has N items)                    Leaf Y

 [ ... (257 INODE_ITEM 0) (257 INODE_REF 256) ]  [ (257 EXTENT_DATA 8192), ... ]
              slot N - 2         slot N - 1              slot 0

 (Note the implicit hole for inode 257 regarding the [0, 8K[ range)

       CPU 1                                         CPU 2

 run_dealloc_nocow()
   btrfs_lookup_file_extent()
     --> searches for a key with value
         (257 EXTENT_DATA 4096) in the
         fs/subvol tree
     --> returns us a path with
         path->nodes[0] == leaf X and
         path->slots[0] == N

   because path->slots[0] is >=
   btrfs_header_nritems(leaf X), it
   calls btrfs_next_leaf()

   btrfs_next_leaf()
     --> releases the path

                                              hard link added to our inode,
                                              with key (257 INODE_REF 500)
                                              added to the end of leaf X,
                                              so leaf X now has N + 1 keys

     --> searches for the key
         (257 INODE_REF 256), because
         it was the last key in leaf X
         before it released the path,
         with path->keep_locks set to 1

     --> ends up at leaf X again and
         it verifies that the key
         (257 INODE_REF 256) is no longer
         the last key in the leaf, so it
         returns with path->nodes[0] ==
         leaf X and path->slots[0] == N,
         pointing to the new item with
         key (257 INODE_REF 500)

   the loop iteration of run_dealloc_nocow()
   does not break out the loop and continues
   because the key referenced in the path
   at path->nodes[0] and path->slots[0] is
   for inode 257, its type is < BTRFS_EXTENT_DATA_KEY
   and its offset (500) is less then our delalloc
   range's end (8192)

   the item pointed by the path, an inode reference item,
   is (incorrectly) interpreted as a file extent item and
   we get an invalid extent type, leading to the BUG_ON(1):

   if (extent_type == BTRFS_FILE_EXTENT_REG ||
      extent_type == BTRFS_FILE_EXTENT_PREALLOC) {
       (...)
   } else if (extent_type == BTRFS_FILE_EXTENT_INLINE) {
       (...)
   } else {
       BUG_ON(1)
   }

The same can happen if a xattr is added concurrently and ends up having
a key with an offset smaller then the delalloc's range end.

So fix this by skipping keys with a type smaller than
BTRFS_EXTENT_DATA_KEY.
