[PATCH] Btrfs: do not allow trimming when a fs is mounted with the nologreplay option

[PATCH] Btrfs: do not allow trimming when a fs is mounted with the nologreplay option

[fdmanana]

From: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>

Whan a filesystem is mounted with the nologreplay mount option, which
requires it to be mounted in RO mode as well, we can not allow discard on
free space inside block groups, because log trees refer to extents that
are not pinned in a block group's free space cache (pinning the extents is
precisely the first phase of replaying a log tree).

So do not allow the fitrim ioctl to do anything when the filesystem is
mounted with the nologreplay option, because later it can be mounted RW
without that option, which causes log replay to happen and result in
either a failure to replay the log trees (leading to a mount failure), a
crash or some silent corruption.

Does it make sense to make the check a bit more specific and only return
EROFS when NOLOGREPLAY and the log tree has non-null generation?

In any case:

It would make sense checking if there's actually a log tree as well.
Neither the xfs nor ext4 (which is already in Linus' tree) do such
equivalent checks, nor the proposed fstests test case makes sure a
journal/log exists.

Not against it, but this isn't a common use case either.

I think of this as sorts of "optimisation" where if we don't have a tree
then we can allow trim. Though this is much simpler so I'm fine with it
as well.

To me fstrim is a WRITE operation, why it is allowed even in RO mount?

It's write to the block device, not to the filesystem.

Agreed, the simple solution sounds ok to me, trim is not a critical
operation so we don't need to try harder to make it work even with the
mount option.
