Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: fix fsync race leading to ordered extent memory leaks
Date: Fri,  6 Feb 2015 12:34:08 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1423226048-23351-1-git-send-email-fdmanana@suse.com> (raw)

We can have two concurrent fsync operations against the same file
that target different ranges of the file, in which case both fsyncs
will process ordered extents that overlap both ranges. This allows
for a time window where a race can lead to those ordered extents
never getting their reference count decremented to 0, leading to
memory leaks, getting referenced by multiple lists and resulting in
inode leaks too (an iput for the ordered extent's inode is scheduled
only when the ordered extent's refcount drops to 0).
The following sequence diagram explains this race:

         CPU 1                                        CPU 2

btrfs_sync_file() range [0, 8K]              btrfs_sync_file() range [8K, 16K]

  mutex_lock(inode->i_mutex)
  btrfs_log_inode()
    btrfs_get_logged_extents()
      --> collected ordered extent X that
          covers range [4K, 12K]
      --> incremented ordered extent X's
          refcount
    btrfs_submit_logged_extents()
  mutex_unlock(inode->i_mutex)

                                               mutex_lock(inode->i_mutex)
                                               btrfs_log_inode()
                                                  btrfs_get_logged_extents()
                                                    --> collected ordered extent X
                                                        as well
                                                    --> incremented ordered extent
                                                        X's refcount
                                                    --> ordered extent X is now
                                                        referenced by 2 different
                                                        lists, due to use of
                                                        list_add() and not list_move()
                                                  btrfs_submit_logged_extents()
                                               mutex_unlock(inode->i_mutex)

  btrfs_sync_log()
     btrfs_wait_logged_extents()
       --> set flag BTRFS_ORDERED_LOGGED
           on ordered extent X and adds it
           to trans->ordered
  btrfs_sync_log() finishes

                                               btrfs_sync_log()
                                                 btrfs_wait_logged_extents()
                                                   --> Sees flag BTRFS_ORDERED_LOGGED set
                                                       in ordered extent and therefore
                                                       won't do anything with it
                                                   --> The increment on ordered extent
                                                       X's refcount done before by the
                                                       task at CPU 2 will never have a
                                                       matching decrement

Fix this by using the flag BTRFS_ORDERED_LOGGED differently. Use it to
mean that an ordered extent is already being processed by an fsync call,
which prevents it from ever being collected by multiple concurrent
fsync operations against the same inode.

This race was introduced with the following change (added in 3.19 and
backported to stable 3.18 and 3.17):

  Btrfs: make sure logged extents complete in the current transaction V3
