Btrfs: fix race when reusing stale extent buffers that leads to BUG_ON
There's a race between releasing extent buffers that are flagged as stale and recycling them that makes us it the following BUG_ON at btrfs_release_extent_buffer_page: BUG_ON(extent_buffer_under_io(eb)) The BUG_ON is triggered because the extent buffer has the flag EXTENT_BUFFER_DIRTY set as a consequence of having been reused and made dirty by another concurrent task. Here follows a sequence of steps that leads to the BUG_ON. CPU 0 CPU 1 CPU 2 path->nodes[0] == eb X X->refs == 2 (1 for the tree, 1 for the path) btrfs_header_generation(X) == current trans id flag EXTENT_BUFFER_DIRTY set on X btrfs_release_path(path) unlocks X reads eb X X->refs incremented to 3 locks eb X btrfs_del_items(X) X becomes empty clean_tree_block(X) clear EXTENT_BUFFER_DIRTY from X btrfs_del_leaf(X) unlocks X extent_buffer_get(X) X->refs incremented to 4 btrfs_free_tree_block(X) X's range is not pinned X's range added to free space cache free_extent_buffer_stale(X) lock X->refs_lock set EXTENT_BUFFER_STALE on X release_extent_buffer(X) X->refs decremented to 3 unlocks X->refs_lock btrfs_release_path() unlocks X free_extent_buffer(X) X->refs becomes 2 __btrfs_cow_block(Y) btrfs_alloc_tree_block() btrfs_reserve_extent() find_free_extent() gets offset == X->start btrfs_init_new_buffer(X->start) btrfs_find_create_tree_block(X->start) alloc_extent_buffer(X->start) find_extent_buffer(X->start) finds eb X in radix tree free_extent_buffer(X) lock X->refs_lock test X->refs == 2 test bit EXTENT_BUFFER_STALE is set test !extent_buffer_under_io(eb) increments X->refs to 3 mark_extent_buffer_accessed(X) check_buffer_tree_ref(X) --> does nothing, X->refs >= 2 and EXTENT_BUFFER_TREE_REF is set in X clear EXTENT_BUFFER_STALE from X locks X btrfs_mark_buffer_dirty() set_extent_buffer_dirty(X) check_buffer_tree_ref(X) --> does nothing, X->refs >= 2 and EXTENT_BUFFER_TREE_REF is set sets EXTENT_BUFFER_DIRTY on X test and clear EXTENT_BUFFER_TREE_REF decrements X->refs to 2 release_extent_buffer(X) decrements X->refs to 1 unlock X->refs_lock unlock X free_extent_buffer(X) lock X->refs_lock release_extent_buffer(X) decrements X->refs to 0 btrfs_release_extent_buffer_page(X) BUG_ON(extent_buffer_under_io(X)) --> EXTENT_BUFFER_DIRTY set on X Fix this by making find_extent buffer wait for any ongoing task currently executing free_extent_buffer()/free_extent_buffer_stale() if the extent buffer has the stale flag set. A more clean alternative would be to always increment the extent buffer's reference count while holding its refs_lock spinlock but find_extent_buffer is a performance critical area and that would cause lock contention whenever multiple tasks search for the same extent buffer concurrently.
