btrfs: don't flush from btrfs_delayed_inode_reserve_metadata
commit 4d14c5c upstream Calling btrfs_qgroup_reserve_meta_prealloc from btrfs_delayed_inode_reserve_metadata can result in flushing delalloc while holding a transaction and delayed node locks. This is deadlock prone. In the past multiple commits: * ae5e070 ("btrfs: qgroup: don't try to wait flushing if we're already holding a transaction") * 6f23277 ("btrfs: qgroup: don't commit transaction when we already hold the handle") Tried to solve various aspects of this but this was always a whack-a-mole game. Unfortunately those 2 fixes don't solve a deadlock scenario involving btrfs_delayed_node::mutex. Namely, one thread can call btrfs_dirty_inode as a result of reading a file and modifying its atime: PID: 6963 TASK: ffff8c7f3f94c000 CPU: 2 COMMAND: "test" #0 __schedule at ffffffffa529e07d #1 schedule at ffffffffa529e4ff #2 schedule_timeout at ffffffffa52a1bdd #3 wait_for_completion at ffffffffa529eeea <-- sleeps with delayed node mutex held #4 start_delalloc_inodes at ffffffffc0380db5 #5 btrfs_start_delalloc_snapshot at ffffffffc0393836 #6 try_flush_qgroup at ffffffffc03f04b2 #7 __btrfs_qgroup_reserve_meta at ffffffffc03f5bb6 <-- tries to reserve space and starts delalloc inodes. #8 btrfs_delayed_update_inode at ffffffffc03e31aa <-- acquires delayed node mutex grate-driver#9 btrfs_update_inode at ffffffffc0385ba8 grate-driver#10 btrfs_dirty_inode at ffffffffc038627b <-- TRANSACTIION OPENED grate-driver#11 touch_atime at ffffffffa4cf0000 grate-driver#12 generic_file_read_iter at ffffffffa4c1f123 grate-driver#13 new_sync_read at ffffffffa4ccdc8a grate-driver#14 vfs_read at ffffffffa4cd0849 grate-driver#15 ksys_read at ffffffffa4cd0bd1 grate-driver#16 do_syscall_64 at ffffffffa4a052eb grate-driver#17 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe at ffffffffa540008c This will cause an asynchronous work to flush the delalloc inodes to happen which can try to acquire the same delayed_node mutex: PID: 455 TASK: ffff8c8085fa4000 CPU: 5 COMMAND: "kworker/u16:30" #0 __schedule at ffffffffa529e07d #1 schedule at ffffffffa529e4ff #2 schedule_preempt_disabled at ffffffffa529e80a #3 __mutex_lock at ffffffffa529fdcb <-- goes to sleep, never wakes up. #4 btrfs_delayed_update_inode at ffffffffc03e3143 <-- tries to acquire the mutex #5 btrfs_update_inode at ffffffffc0385ba8 <-- this is the same inode that pid 6963 is holding #6 cow_file_range_inline.constprop.78 at ffffffffc0386be7 #7 cow_file_range at ffffffffc03879c1 #8 btrfs_run_delalloc_range at ffffffffc038894c grate-driver#9 writepage_delalloc at ffffffffc03a3c8f grate-driver#10 __extent_writepage at ffffffffc03a4c01 grate-driver#11 extent_write_cache_pages at ffffffffc03a500b grate-driver#12 extent_writepages at ffffffffc03a6de2 grate-driver#13 do_writepages at ffffffffa4c277eb grate-driver#14 __filemap_fdatawrite_range at ffffffffa4c1e5bb grate-driver#15 btrfs_run_delalloc_work at ffffffffc0380987 <-- starts running delayed nodes grate-driver#16 normal_work_helper at ffffffffc03b706c grate-driver#17 process_one_work at ffffffffa4aba4e4 grate-driver#18 worker_thread at ffffffffa4aba6fd grate-driver#19 kthread at ffffffffa4ac0a3d grate-driver#20 ret_from_fork at ffffffffa54001ff To fully address those cases the complete fix is to never issue any flushing while holding the transaction or the delayed node lock. This patch achieves it by calling qgroup_reserve_meta directly which will either succeed without flushing or will fail and return -EDQUOT. In the latter case that return value is going to be propagated to btrfs_dirty_inode which will fallback to start a new transaction. That's fine as the majority of time we expect the inode will have BTRFS_DELAYED_NODE_INODE_DIRTY flag set which will result in directly copying the in-memory state.
