[PATCH 5.15 030/230] btrfs: fix deadlock between chunk allocation and chunk btree modifications

[ Upstream commit 2bb2e00ed9787e52580bb651264b8d6a2b7a9dd2 ]

When a task is doing some modification to the chunk btree and it is not in
the context of a chunk allocation or a chunk removal, it can deadlock with
another task that is currently allocating a new data or metadata chunk.

These contexts are the following:

* When relocating a system chunk, when we need to COW the extent buffers
that belong to the chunk btree;

* When adding a new device (ioctl), where we need to add a new device item
to the chunk btree;

* When removing a device (ioctl), where we need to remove a device item
from the chunk btree;

* When resizing a device (ioctl), where we need to update a device item in
the chunk btree and may need to relocate a system chunk that lies beyond
the new device size when shrinking a device.

The problem happens due to a sequence of steps like the following:

1) Task A starts a data or metadata chunk allocation and it locks the
chunk mutex;

2) Task B is relocating a system chunk, and when it needs to COW an extent
buffer of the chunk btree, it has locked both that extent buffer as
well as its parent extent buffer;

3) Since there is not enough available system space, either because none
of the existing system block groups have enough free space or because
the only one with enough free space is in RO mode due to the relocation,
task B triggers a new system chunk allocation. It blocks when trying to
acquire the chunk mutex, currently held by task A;

4) Task A enters btrfs_chunk_alloc_add_chunk_item(), in order to insert
the new chunk item into the chunk btree and update the existing device
items there. But in order to do that, it has to lock the extent buffer
that task B locked at step 2, or its parent extent buffer, but task B
is waiting on the chunk mutex, which is currently locked by task A,
therefore resulting in a deadlock.

One example report when the deadlock happens with system chunk relocation:

So fix this by making sure that whenever we try to modify the chunk btree
and we are neither in a chunk allocation context nor in a chunk remove
context, we reserve system space before modifying the chunk btree.
