This is a stable-only patch. The issue was inadvertently fixed in 6.17 [0]
as part of a refactoring, but this patch serves as a minimal targeted fix
for prior kernels.

Users of find_lock_page() need to guard against the situation where
releasepage() has been invoked during reclaim but the page was ultimately
not removed from the page cache. This patch covers one location that was
overlooked.

After acquiring the page, use set_page_extent_mapped() to ensure the page
private state is valid. This is especially important in the subpage case,
where the private field is an allocated struct containing bitmap and lock
data.

Without this protection, the race below is possible:

[mm] page cache reclaim path        [fs] relocation in subpage mode
shrink_page_list()
  trylock_page() /* lock acquired */
  try_to_release_page()
    mapping-&gt;a_ops-&gt;releasepage()
      btrfs_releasepage()
        __btrfs_releasepage()
          clear_page_extent_mapped()
            btrfs_detach_subpage()
              subpage = detach_page_private(page)
              btrfs_free_subpage(subpage)
                kfree(subpage) /* point A */
                                        prealloc_file_extent_cluster()
                                          find_lock_page()
                                            page_cache_get_speculative()
                                            lock_page() /* wait for lock */
  if (...)
    ...
  else if (!mapping || !__remove_mapping(..))
    /*
     * __remove_mapping() returns zero when
     * page_ref_freeze(page, refcount) fails /* point B */
     */
    goto keep_locked /* page remains in cache */
keep_locked:
  unlock_page(page) /* lock released */
                                        /* lock acquired */
                                        btrfs_subpage_clear_uptodate()

<title>btrfs: fix clearing of BTRFS_FS_RELOC_RUNNING if relocation already running</title>

commit 7e5a5983edda664e8e4bb20af17b80f5135c655c upstream.

When starting relocation, at reloc_chunk_start(), if we happen to find
the flag BTRFS_FS_RELOC_RUNNING is already set we return an error
(-EINPROGRESS) to the callers, however the callers call reloc_chunk_end()
which will clear the flag BTRFS_FS_RELOC_RUNNING, which is wrong since
relocation was started by another task and still running.

Finding the BTRFS_FS_RELOC_RUNNING flag already set is an unexpected
scenario, but still our current behaviour is not correct.

Fix this by never calling reloc_chunk_end() if reloc_chunk_start() has
returned an error, which is what logically makes sense, since the general
widespread pattern is to have end functions called only if the counterpart
start functions succeeded. This requires changing reloc_chunk_start() to
clear BTRFS_FS_RELOC_RUNNING if there's a pending cancel request.

commit 4289b494ac553e74e86fed1c66b2bf9530bc1082 upstream.

[BUG]
There is an internal report that balance triggered transaction abort,
with the following call trace:

  item 85 key (594509824 169 0) itemoff 12599 itemsize 33
          extent refs 1 gen 197740 flags 2

 BTRFS error (device loop0): failed to run delayed ref for logical 594526208 num_bytes 16384 type 182 action 1 ref_mod 1: -117
 ------------[ cut here ]------------
 BTRFS: Transaction aborted (error -117)
 WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 6963 at ../fs/btrfs/extent-tree.c:2168 btrfs_run_delayed_refs+0xfa/0x110 [btrfs]

And btrfs check doesn't report anything wrong related to the extent
tree.

[CAUSE]
The cause is a little complex, firstly the extent tree indeed doesn't
have the backref for 594526208.

The extent tree only have the following two backrefs around that bytenr
on-disk:

        item 65 key (594509824 METADATA_ITEM 0) itemoff 13880 itemsize 33
                refs 1 gen 197740 flags TREE_BLOCK
                tree block skinny level 0
                (176 0x7) tree block backref root CSUM_TREE
        item 66 key (594558976 METADATA_ITEM 0) itemoff 13847 itemsize 33
                refs 1 gen 197522 flags TREE_BLOCK
                tree block skinny level 0
                (176 0x7) tree block backref root CSUM_TREE

But the such missing backref item is not an corruption on disk, as the
offending delayed ref belongs to subvolume 934, and that subvolume is
being dropped:

        item 0 key (934 ROOT_ITEM 198229) itemoff 15844 itemsize 439
                generation 198229 root_dirid 256 bytenr 10741039104 byte_limit 0 bytes_used 345571328
                last_snapshot 198229 flags 0x1000000000001(RDONLY) refs 0
                drop_progress key (206324 EXTENT_DATA 2711650304) drop_level 2
                level 2 generation_v2 198229

And that offending tree block 594526208 is inside the dropped range of
that subvolume.  That explains why there is no backref item for that
bytenr and why btrfs check is not reporting anything wrong.

But this also shows another problem, as btrfs will do all the orphan
subvolume cleanup at a read-write mount.

So half-dropped subvolume should not exist after an RW mount, and
balance itself is also exclusive to subvolume cleanup, meaning we
shouldn't hit a subvolume half-dropped during relocation.

The root cause is, there is no orphan item for this subvolume.
In fact there are 5 subvolumes from around 2021 that have the same
problem.

It looks like the original report has some older kernels running, and
caused those zombie subvolumes.

Thankfully upstream commit 8d488a8c7ba2 ("btrfs: fix subvolume/snapshot
deletion not triggered on mount") has long fixed the bug.

[ENHANCEMENT]
For repairing such old fs, btrfs-progs will be enhanced.

Considering how delayed the problem will show up (at run delayed ref
time) and at that time we have to abort transaction already, it is too
late.

Instead here we reject any half-dropped subvolume for reloc tree at the
earliest time, preventing confusion and extra time wasted on debugging
similar bugs.

This BUG_ON is meant to catch backref cache problems, but these can
arise from either bugs in the backref cache or corruption in the extent
tree.  Fix it to be a proper error.

commit c3b47f49e83197e8dffd023ec568403bcdbb774b upstream.

[BUG]
Syzbot reported a NULL pointer dereference with the following crash:

  FAULT_INJECTION: forcing a failure.

   entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x77/0x7f

[CAUSE]
The allocation failure happens at the start_transaction() inside
prepare_to_relocate(), and during the error handling we call
unset_reloc_control(), which makes fs_info-&gt;balance_ctl to be NULL.

Then we continue the error path cleanup in btrfs_balance() by calling
reset_balance_state() which will call del_balance_item() to fully delete
the balance item in the root tree.

However during the small window between set_reloc_contrl() and
unset_reloc_control(), we can have a subvolume tree update and created a
reloc_root for that subvolume.

Then we go into the final btrfs_commit_transaction() of
del_balance_item(), and into btrfs_update_reloc_root() inside
commit_fs_roots().

That function checks if fs_info-&gt;reloc_ctl is in the merge_reloc_tree
stage, but since fs_info-&gt;reloc_ctl is NULL, it results a NULL pointer
dereference.

[FIX]
Just add extra check on fs_info-&gt;reloc_ctl inside
btrfs_update_reloc_root(), before checking
fs_info-&gt;reloc_ctl-&gt;merge_reloc_tree.

That DEAD_RELOC_TREE handling is to prevent further modification to the
reloc tree during merge stage, but since there is no reloc_ctl at all,
we do not need to bother that.

commit 05d7ce504545f7874529701664c90814ca645c5d upstream.

[BUG]
Syzbot reported a crash that an ASSERT() got triggered inside
prepare_to_merge().

[CAUSE]
The root cause of the triggered ASSERT() is we can have a race between
quota tree creation and relocation.

This leads us to create a duplicated quota tree in the
btrfs_read_fs_root() path, and since it's treated as fs tree, it would
have ROOT_SHAREABLE flag, causing us to create a reloc tree for it.

The bug itself is fixed by a dedicated patch for it, but this already
taught us the ASSERT() is not something straightforward for
developers.

[ENHANCEMENT]
Instead of using an ASSERT(), let's handle it gracefully and output
extra info about the mismatch reloc roots to help debug.

Also with the above ASSERT() removed, we can trigger ASSERT(0)s inside
merge_reloc_roots() later.
Also replace those ASSERT(0)s with WARN_ON()s.

This isn't necessarily new, it's just tricky to hit in practice.  There
are two competing things going on here.  With relocation we create a
snapshot of every fs tree with a reloc tree.  Any extent buffers that
get initialized here are initialized with the reloc root lockdep key.
However since it is a snapshot, any blocks that are currently in cache
that originally belonged to the fs tree will have the normal tree
lockdep key set.  This creates the lock dependency of

  reloc tree -&gt; normal tree

for the extent buffer locking during the first phase of the relocation
as we walk down the reloc root to relocate blocks.

However this is problematic because the final phase of the relocation is
merging the reloc root into the original fs root.  This involves
searching down to any keys that exist in the original fs root and then
swapping the relocated block and the original fs root block.  We have to
search down to the fs root first, and then go search the reloc root for
the block we need to replace.  This creates the dependency of

  normal tree -&gt; reloc tree

which is why lockdep complains.

Additionally even if we were to fix this particular mismatch with a
different nesting for the merge case, we're still slotting in a block
that has a owner of the reloc root objectid into a normal tree, so that
block will have its lockdep key set to the tree reloc root, and create a
lockdep splat later on when we wander into that block from the fs root.

Unfortunately the only solution here is to make sure we do not set the
lockdep key to the reloc tree lockdep key normally, and then reset any
blocks we wander into from the reloc root when we're doing the merged.

This solves the problem of having mixed tree reloc keys intermixed with
normal tree keys, and then allows us to make sure in the merge case we
maintain the lock order of

  normal tree -&gt; reloc tree

We handle this by setting a bit on the reloc root when we do the search
for the block we want to relocate, and any block we search into or COW
at that point gets set to the reloc tree key.  This works correctly
because we only ever COW down to the parent node, so we aren't resetting
the key for the block we're linking into the fs root.

With this patch we no longer have the lockdep splat in btrfs/187.

<title>btrfs: unset reloc control if transaction commit fails in prepare_to_relocate()</title>

commit 85f02d6c856b9f3a0acf5219de6e32f58b9778eb upstream.

In btrfs_relocate_block_group(), the rc is allocated.  Then
btrfs_relocate_block_group() calls

relocate_block_group()
  prepare_to_relocate()
    set_reloc_control()

that assigns rc to the variable fs_info-&gt;reloc_ctl. When
prepare_to_relocate() returns, it calls

btrfs_commit_transaction()
  btrfs_start_dirty_block_groups()
    btrfs_alloc_path()
      kmem_cache_zalloc()

which may fail for example (or other errors could happen). When the
failure occurs, btrfs_relocate_block_group() detects the error and frees
rc and doesn't set fs_info-&gt;reloc_ctl to NULL. After that, in
btrfs_init_reloc_root(), rc is retrieved from fs_info-&gt;reloc_ctl and
then used, which may cause a use-after-free bug.

This possible bug can be triggered by calling btrfs_ioctl_balance()
before calling btrfs_ioctl_defrag().

To fix this possible bug, in prepare_to_relocate(), check if
btrfs_commit_transaction() fails. If the failure occurs,
unset_reloc_control() is called to set fs_info-&gt;reloc_ctl to NULL.

The error log in our fault-injection testing is shown as follows:

<title>btrfs: fix deadlock between chunk allocation and chunk btree modifications</title>

[ 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.

[ Upstream commit f42c5da6c12e990d8ec415199600b4d593c63bf5 ]

In order to make 'real_root' used only in ref-verify it's required to
have the necessary context to perform the same checks that this member
is used for. So add 'mod_root' which will contain the root on behalf of
which a delayed ref was created and a 'skip_group' parameter which
will contain callsite-specific override of skip_qgroup.
