Sometimes when fsync'ing a file we need to log that other inodes exist and
when we need to do that we acquire a reference on the inodes and then drop
that reference using iput() after logging them.

That generally is not a problem except if we end up doing the final iput()
(dropping the last reference) on the inode and that inode has a link count
of 0, which can happen in a very short time window if the logging path
gets a reference on the inode while it's being unlinked.

In that case we end up getting the eviction callback, btrfs_evict_inode(),
invoked through the iput() call chain which needs to drop all of the
inode's items from its subvolume btree, and in order to do that, it needs
to join a transaction at the helper function evict_refill_and_join().
However because the task previously started a transaction at the fsync
handler, btrfs_sync_file(), it has current->journal_info already pointing
to a transaction handle and therefore evict_refill_and_join() will get
that transaction handle from btrfs_join_transaction(). From this point on,
two different problems can happen:

1) evict_refill_and_join() will often change the transaction handle's
   block reserve (->block_rsv) and set its ->bytes_reserved field to a
   value greater than 0. If evict_refill_and_join() never commits the
   transaction, the eviction handler ends up decreasing the reference
   count (->use_count) of the transaction handle through the call to
   btrfs_end_transaction(), and after that point we have a transaction
   handle with a NULL ->block_rsv (which is the value prior to the
   transaction join from evict_refill_and_join()) and a ->bytes_reserved
   value greater than 0. If after the eviction/iput completes the inode
   logging path hits an error or it decides that it must fallback to a
   transaction commit, the btrfs fsync handle, btrfs_sync_file(), gets a
   non-zero value from btrfs_log_dentry_safe(), and because of that
   non-zero value it tries to commit the transaction using a handle with
   a NULL ->block_rsv and a non-zero ->bytes_reserved value. This makes
   the transaction commit hit an assertion failure at
   btrfs_trans_release_metadata() because ->bytes_reserved is not zero but
   the ->block_rsv is NULL. The produced stack trace for that is like the
   following:

2) If evict_refill_and_join() decides to commit the transaction, it will
   be able to do it, since the nested transaction join only increments the
   transaction handle's ->use_count reference counter and it does not
   prevent the transaction from getting committed. This means that after
   eviction completes, the fsync logging path will be using a transaction
   handle that refers to an already committed transaction. What happens
   when using such a stale transaction can be unpredictable, we are at
   least having a use-after-free on the transaction handle itself, since
   the transaction commit will call kmem_cache_free() against the handle
   regardless of its ->use_count value, or we can end up silently losing
   all the updates to the log tree after that iput() in the logging path,
   or using a transaction handle that in the meanwhile was allocated to
   another task for a new transaction, etc, pretty much unpredictable
   what can happen.

In order to fix both of them, instead of using iput() during logging, use
btrfs_add_delayed_iput(), so that the logging path of fsync never drops
the last reference on an inode, that step is offloaded to a safe context
(usually the cleaner kthread).

The assertion failure issue was sporadically triggered by the test case
generic/475 from fstests, which loads the dm error target while fsstress
is running, which lead to fsync failing while logging inodes with -EIO
errors and then trying later to commit the transaction, triggering the
assertion failure.

After it lands on Linus' tree, I'll try to send patch versions that
apply to different kernel releases.

> 2) If evict_refill_and_join() decides to commit the transaction, it will
evict_refill_and_join only ever calls btrfs_join_transaction so it
cannot ever commit the transaction. Let's look into its sole caller,
btrfs_evict_inode, I see 3 cases where transactions handle is involved
in that function:

1. btrfs_commit_inode_delayed_inode - iot calls trans_join +
end_transaction => use_count = 2 -> no commit

2. btrfs_truncate_inode_items -> never calls end/commit transaction

3. btrfs_evict_inode itself only ever calls btrfs_end_transaction on a
handle that's obtained via btrfs_join_transaction, meaning that trans
handle's ->use_count will be 2. This in turn will hit:

 if (refcount_read(&trans->use_count) > 1) {
                  refcount_dec(&trans->use_count);

                  trans->block_rsv = trans->orig_rsv;

                  return 0;

}

in __btrfs_end_transaction. That code is in direct contradiction with
what you describe next? Am I missing something here? If my analysis is
correct this implies case 1) above also cannot happen because
trans->block_rsv is set to NULL in __btrfs_end_transaction only if
use_count == 1.

It can:

No, it isn't.

I explicitly mention it in point 1):

"... the eviction handler ends up decreasing the reference
count (->use_count) of the transaction handle through the call to
btrfs_end_transaction(), and after that point we have a transaction
handle with a NULL ->block_rsv (which is the value prior to the
transaction join from evict_refill_and_join()) and a ->bytes_reserved
value greater than 0."

Again, go read the change log and the code more carefully.

Right, in 5.3 branch yes but in misc-next evict_and_join looks
completely different, that's where the confusion stems from. Thanks

This brings up a good point, we should probably not allow the commit in this
case, or add an ASSERT(use_count == 1) or something, cause this would be bad.

And talking it over with Nikolay I realized that since we're doing the commit
through the flushing this doesn't actually happen anymore.
may_commit_transaction() returns -EGAIN if we already have a trans handle open,
so hooray I made it safer by accident!  But we definitely should follow up and
add an assert in btrfs_commit_transaction() to catch this case, cause holy shit
that's bad.  Thanks,

Josef

Yes, that should be separate change however.
I had warn_on(trans->use_count > 1) in the commit locally during
testing (didn't trigger in 4 days of fstests).

Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: fix assertion failure during fsync and use of stale
 transaction

Sometimes when fsync'ing a file we need to log that other inodes exist and
when we need to do that we acquire a reference on the inodes and then drop
that reference using iput() after logging them.

That generally is not a problem except if we end up doing the final iput()
(dropping the last reference) on the inode and that inode has a link count
of 0, which can happen in a very short time window if the logging path
gets a reference on the inode while it's being unlinked.

In that case we end up getting the eviction callback, btrfs_evict_inode(),
invoked through the iput() call chain which needs to drop all of the
inode's items from its subvolume btree, and in order to do that, it needs
to join a transaction at the helper function evict_refill_and_join().
However because the task previously started a transaction at the fsync
handler, btrfs_sync_file(), it has current->journal_info already pointing
to a transaction handle and therefore evict_refill_and_join() will get
that transaction handle from btrfs_join_transaction(). From this point on,
two different problems can happen:

1) evict_refill_and_join() will often change the transaction handle's
   block reserve (->block_rsv) and set its ->bytes_reserved field to a
   value greater than 0. If evict_refill_and_join() never commits the
   transaction, the eviction handler ends up decreasing the reference
   count (->use_count) of the transaction handle through the call to
   btrfs_end_transaction(), and after that point we have a transaction
   handle with a NULL ->block_rsv (which is the value prior to the
   transaction join from evict_refill_and_join()) and a ->bytes_reserved
   value greater than 0. If after the eviction/iput completes the inode
   logging path hits an error or it decides that it must fallback to a
   transaction commit, the btrfs fsync handle, btrfs_sync_file(), gets a
   non-zero value from btrfs_log_dentry_safe(), and because of that
   non-zero value it tries to commit the transaction using a handle with
   a NULL ->block_rsv and a non-zero ->bytes_reserved value. This makes
   the transaction commit hit an assertion failure at
   btrfs_trans_release_metadata() because ->bytes_reserved is not zero but
   the ->block_rsv is NULL. The produced stack trace for that is like the
   following:

2) If evict_refill_and_join() decides to commit the transaction, it will
   be able to do it, since the nested transaction join only increments the
   transaction handle's ->use_count reference counter and it does not
   prevent the transaction from getting committed. This means that after
   eviction completes, the fsync logging path will be using a transaction
   handle that refers to an already committed transaction. What happens
   when using such a stale transaction can be unpredictable, we are at
   least having a use-after-free on the transaction handle itself, since
   the transaction commit will call kmem_cache_free() against the handle
   regardless of its ->use_count value, or we can end up silently losing
   all the updates to the log tree after that iput() in the logging path,
   or using a transaction handle that in the meanwhile was allocated to
   another task for a new transaction, etc, pretty much unpredictable
   what can happen.

In order to fix both of them, instead of using iput() during logging, use
btrfs_add_delayed_iput(), so that the logging path of fsync never drops
the last reference on an inode, that step is offloaded to a safe context
(usually the cleaner kthread).

The assertion failure issue was sporadically triggered by the test case
generic/475 from fstests, which loads the dm error target while fsstress
is running, which lead to fsync failing while logging inodes with -EIO
errors and then trying later to commit the transaction, triggering the
assertion failure.

when we need to do that we acquire a reference on the inodes and then drop
that reference using iput() after logging them.

That generally is not a problem except if we end up doing the final iput()
(dropping the last reference) on the inode and that inode has a link count
of 0, which can happen in a very short time window if the logging path
gets a reference on the inode while it's being unlinked.

In that case we end up getting the eviction callback, btrfs_evict_inode(),
invoked through the iput() call chain which needs to drop all of the
inode's items from its subvolume btree, and in order to do that, it needs
to join a transaction at the helper function evict_refill_and_join().
However because the task previously started a transaction at the fsync
handler, btrfs_sync_file(), it has current->journal_info already pointing
to a transaction handle and therefore evict_refill_and_join() will get
that transaction handle from btrfs_join_transaction(). From this point on,
two different problems can happen:

1) evict_refill_and_join() will often change the transaction handle's
   block reserve (->block_rsv) and set its ->bytes_reserved field to a
   value greater than 0. If evict_refill_and_join() never commits the
   transaction, the eviction handler ends up decreasing the reference
   count (->use_count) of the transaction handle through the call to
   btrfs_end_transaction(), and after that point we have a transaction
   handle with a NULL ->block_rsv (which is the value prior to the
   transaction join from evict_refill_and_join()) and a ->bytes_reserved
   value greater than 0. If after the eviction/iput completes the inode
   logging path hits an error or it decides that it must fallback to a
   transaction commit, the btrfs fsync handle, btrfs_sync_file(), gets a
   non-zero value from btrfs_log_dentry_safe(), and because of that
   non-zero value it tries to commit the transaction using a handle with
   a NULL ->block_rsv and a non-zero ->bytes_reserved value. This makes
   the transaction commit hit an assertion failure at
   btrfs_trans_release_metadata() because ->bytes_reserved is not zero but
   the ->block_rsv is NULL. The produced stack trace for that is like the
   following:

2) If evict_refill_and_join() decides to commit the transaction, it will
   be able to do it, since the nested transaction join only increments the
   transaction handle's ->use_count reference counter and it does not
   prevent the transaction from getting committed. This means that after
   eviction completes, the fsync logging path will be using a transaction
   handle that refers to an already committed transaction. What happens
   when using such a stale transaction can be unpredictable, we are at
   least having a use-after-free on the transaction handle itself, since
   the transaction commit will call kmem_cache_free() against the handle
   regardless of its ->use_count value, or we can end up silently losing
   all the updates to the log tree after that iput() in the logging path,
   or using a transaction handle that in the meanwhile was allocated to
   another task for a new transaction, etc, pretty much unpredictable
   what can happen.

In order to fix both of them, instead of using iput() during logging, use
btrfs_add_delayed_iput(), so that the logging path of fsync never drops
the last reference on an inode, that step is offloaded to a safe context
(usually the cleaner kthread).

The assertion failure issue was sporadically triggered by the test case
generic/475 from fstests, which loads the dm error target while fsstress
is running, which lead to fsync failing while logging inodes with -EIO
errors and then trying later to commit the transaction, triggering the
assertion failure.

Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: fix assertion failure during fsync and use of stale
 transaction

Sometimes when fsync'ing a file we need to log that other inodes exist and
when we need to do that we acquire a reference on the inodes and then drop
that reference using iput() after logging them.

That generally is not a problem except if we end up doing the final iput()
(dropping the last reference) on the inode and that inode has a link count
of 0, which can happen in a very short time window if the logging path
gets a reference on the inode while it's being unlinked.

In that case we end up getting the eviction callback, btrfs_evict_inode(),
invoked through the iput() call chain which needs to drop all of the
inode's items from its subvolume btree, and in order to do that, it needs
to join a transaction at the helper function evict_refill_and_join().
However because the task previously started a transaction at the fsync
handler, btrfs_sync_file(), it has current->journal_info already pointing
to a transaction handle and therefore evict_refill_and_join() will get
that transaction handle from btrfs_join_transaction(). From this point on,
two different problems can happen:

1) evict_refill_and_join() will often change the transaction handle's
   block reserve (->block_rsv) and set its ->bytes_reserved field to a
   value greater than 0. If evict_refill_and_join() never commits the
   transaction, the eviction handler ends up decreasing the reference
   count (->use_count) of the transaction handle through the call to
   btrfs_end_transaction(), and after that point we have a transaction
   handle with a NULL ->block_rsv (which is the value prior to the
   transaction join from evict_refill_and_join()) and a ->bytes_reserved
   value greater than 0. If after the eviction/iput completes the inode
   logging path hits an error or it decides that it must fallback to a
   transaction commit, the btrfs fsync handle, btrfs_sync_file(), gets a
   non-zero value from btrfs_log_dentry_safe(), and because of that
   non-zero value it tries to commit the transaction using a handle with
   a NULL ->block_rsv and a non-zero ->bytes_reserved value. This makes
   the transaction commit hit an assertion failure at
   btrfs_trans_release_metadata() because ->bytes_reserved is not zero but
   the ->block_rsv is NULL. The produced stack trace for that is like the
   following:
