BTRFS error (device dm-2 state E): root 5 ino 259 folio 1323008 is marked dirty without notifying the fs
BTRFS error (device dm-2 state E): failed to submit blocks, root=5 inode=259 folio=1323008 submit_bitmap=0: -117
BTRFS info (device dm-2 state E): last unmount of filesystem d8a19a28-3232-4809-b0df-38df83e71bff
[CAUSE]
Inside btrfs we have the following pattern in several locations, for
example inside btrfs_dirty_folio():
btrfs_clear_extent_bit(&inode->io_tree, start_pos, end_of_last_block,
EXTENT_DELALLOC | EXTENT_DO_ACCOUNTING | EXTENT_DEFRAG,
cached);
ret = btrfs_set_extent_delalloc(inode, start_pos, end_of_last_block,
extra_bits, cached);
if (ret)
return ret;
However btrfs_set_extent_delalloc() can return IO errors other than -ENOMEM
through the following callchain:
btrfs_set_extent_delalloc()
\- btrfs_find_new_delalloc_bytes()
\- btrfs_get_extent()
\- btrfs_lookup_file_extent()
\- btrfs_search_slot()
When such IO error happened, the previous btrfs_clear_extent_bit() has
cleared the EXTENT_DELALLOC for the range, and we're expecting
btrfs_set_extent_delalloc() to re-set EXTENT_DELALLOC.
But since btrfs_set_extent_delalloc() failed before
btrfs_set_extent_bit(), EXTENT_DELALLOC flag is no longer present.
And if the folio range is dirty before entering
btrfs_set_extent_delalloc(), we got a dirty folio but no EXTENT_DELALLOC
flag now.
Then we hit the folio writeback:
extent_writepage()
|- writepage_delalloc()
| No ordered extent is created, as there is no EXTENT_DELALLOC set
| for the folio range.
| This also means the folio has no ordered flag set.
|
|- extent_writepage_io()
\- if (unlikely(!folio_test_ordered(folio))
Now we hit the warning.
[FIX]
Introduce a new helper, btrfs_reset_extent_delalloc() to replace the
currently open-coded btrfs_clear_extent_bit() +
btrfs_set_extent_delalloc() combination.
Instead of calling btrfs_clear_extent_bit() first, update
EXTENT_DELALLOC_NEW first, as that part can fail due to metadata IO,
meanwhile btrfs_clear_extent_bit() and btrfs_set_extent_bit() won't
return any error but retry memory allocation until succeeded.
This allows us to fail early without clearing EXTENT_DELALLOC bit, so
even if that new btrfs_reset_extent_delalloc() failed before touching
EXTENT_DELALLOC, the existing dirty range will still have their old
EXTENT_DELALLOC flag present, thus avoid the warning.
