Subject: [PATCH 0/3] btrfs: fix possible race between error handling and writeback
Date: Wed, 23 Jul 2025 20:51:21 +0930	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1753269601.git.wqu@suse.com> (raw)

There are some rare kernel warning for experimental btrfs builds that
the DEBUG_WARN() can be triggered from btrfs_writepage_cow_fixup(),
mostly after some delalloc range failure.

The root cause is explained the the last patch, the TL;DR is we
shouldn't call btrfs_cleanup_ordered_extents() on folios that are
already unlocked.

Those unlocked folios can be under writeback, and if we cleared the
order flag just before the writeback thread entering
btrfs_writepage_cow_fixup(), we will trigger the warning.

The first patch is a small enhancement to the error messages, which
helps debugging.

The second patch is to make nocow_one_range() to do proper cleanup,
aligning itself to cow_file_range().

The last one is to fix the race window by keep folios of successful
ranges locked, so that we either unlock them manually at the end of
run_delalloc_nocow(), or get btrfs_cleanup_ordered_extents() called on
locked folios for error handling.

Qu Wenruo (3):
  btrfs: enhance error messages for delalloc range failure
  btrfs: make nocow_one_range() to do cleanup on error
  btrfs: keep folios locked inside run_delalloc_nocow()
