[ Upstream commit 2e0e3716c7b6f8d71df2fbe709b922e54700f71b ]

[BUG]
The following sequence will set the file with nocompress flag:

  # mkfs.btrfs -f $dev
  # mount $dev $mnt -o max_inline=4,compress
  # xfs_io -f -c "pwrite 0 2k" -c sync $mnt/foobar

The inode will have NOCOMPRESS flag, even if the content itself (all 0xcd)
can still be compressed very well:

	item 4 key (257 INODE_ITEM 0) itemoff 15879 itemsize 160
		generation 9 transid 10 size 2097152 nbytes 1052672
		block group 0 mode 100600 links 1 uid 0 gid 0 rdev 0
		sequence 257 flags 0x8(NOCOMPRESS)

Please note that, this behavior is there even before commit 59615e2c1f63
("btrfs: reject single block sized compression early").

[CAUSE]
At compress_file_range(), after btrfs_compress_folios() call, we try
making an inlined extent by calling cow_file_range_inline().

But cow_file_range_inline() calls can_cow_file_range_inline() which has
more accurate checks on if the range can be inlined.

One of the user configurable conditions is the "max_inline=" mount
option. If that value is set low (like the example, 4 bytes, which
cannot store any header), or the compressed content is just slightly
larger than 2K (the default value, meaning a 50% compression ratio),
cow_file_range_inline() will return 1 immediately.

And since we're here only to try inline the compressed data, the range
is no larger than a single fs block.

Thus compression is never going to make it a win, we fall back to
marking the inode incompressible unavoidably.

[FIX]
Just add an extra check after inline attempt, so that if the inline
attempt failed, do not set the nocompress flag.

As there is no way to remove that flag, and the default 50% compression
ratio is way too strict for the whole inode.

With extra warning on dirty extent buffers at umount (aka, the next
patch in the series), test case generic/388 can trigger the following
warning about dirty extent buffers at unmount time:

I'm using a stripped down version, which seems to trigger the warning
more reliably:

  _fsstress_pid=""
  workload()
  {
  	dmesg -C
  	mkfs.btrfs -f -K $dev &gt; /dev/null
  	echo 1 &gt; /sys/kernel/debug/clear_warn_once
  	mount $dev $mnt
  	$fsstress -w -n 1024 -p 4 -d $mnt &amp;
  	_fsstress_pid=$!
  	sleep 0
  	$godown $mnt
  	pkill --echo -PIPE fsstress &gt; /dev/null
  	wait $_fsstress_pid
  	unset _fsstress_pid
  	umount $mnt

  	if dmesg | grep -q "WARNING"; then
  		fail
  	fi
  }

  for (( i = 0; i &lt; $runtime; i++ )); do
  	echo "=== $i/$runtime ==="
  	workload
  done

[CAUSE]
Inside btrfs_write_and_wait_transaction(), we first try to write all
dirty ebs, then wait for them to finish.

After that we call btrfs_extent_io_tree_release() to free all
extent states from dirty_pages io tree.

However if we hit an error from btrfs_write_marked_extent(), then we
still call btrfs_extent_io_tree_release() to clear that dirty_pages io
tree, which may contain dirty records that we haven't yet submitted.

Furthermore, the later transaction cleanup path will utilize that
dirty_pages io tree to properly cleanup those dirty ebs, but since it's
already empty, no dirty ebs are properly cleaned up, thus will later
trigger the warnings inside invalidate_btree_folios().

[FIX]
Normally such dirty ebs won't cause problems, as when the iput() is
called on the btree inode, the dirty ebs will be forcibly written back,
and since the fs is already in an error status, such writeback will not
reach disk and finish immediately.

But it's still better to get rid of such dirty ebs, if we ended up with
dirty ebs but the fs is not in an error status, then such writeback at
iput() time will be too late, as all workers are already stopped but
writeback will utilize workers, which will lead to NULL pointer
dereferences.

Instead of unconditionally calling btrfs_extent_io_tree_release(), only
call it if btrfs_write_and_wait_transaction() finished successfully, so
that @dirty_pages extent io tree is kept untouched for transaction
cleanup.

[ Upstream commit 82323b1a7088b7a5c3e528a5d634bff447fa286f ]

submit_one_async_extent() calls btrfs_reserve_extent(), which decrements
bytes_may_use. If the call btrfs_create_io_em() fails, we jump to
out_free_reserve, which calls extent_clear_unlock_delalloc().

Because we're specifying EXTENT_DO_ACCOUNTING, i.e.
EXTENT_CLEAR_META_RESV | EXTENT_CLEAR_DATA_RESV, this decreases
bytes_may_use again. This can lead to problems later on, as an initial
write can fail only for the writeback to silently ENOSPC.

Fix this by replacing EXTENT_DO_ACCOUNTING with EXTENT_CLEAR_META_RESV.
This parallels a4fe134fc1d8eb ("btrfs: fix a double release on reserved
extents in cow_one_range()"), which is the same fix in cow_one_range().

<title>btrfs: fix deadlock between reflink and transaction commit when using flushoncommit</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit b48c980b6a7e409050bb3067165db31cc6205e3e ]

When using the flushoncommit mount option, we can have a deadlock between
a transaction commit and a reflink operation that copied an inline extent
to an offset beyond the current i_size of the destination node.

The deadlock happens like this:

1) Task A clones an inline extent from inode X to an offset of inode Y
   that is beyond Y's current i_size. This means we copied the inline
   extent's data to a folio of inode Y that is beyond its EOF, using a
   call to copy_inline_to_page();

2) Task B starts a transaction commit and calls
   btrfs_start_delalloc_flush() to flush delalloc;

3) The delalloc flushing sees the new dirty folio of inode Y and when it
   attempts to flush it, it ends up at extent_writepage() and sees that
   the offset of the folio is beyond the i_size of inode Y, so it attempts
   to invalidate the folio by calling folio_invalidate(), which ends up at
   btrfs' folio invalidate callback - btrfs_invalidate_folio(). There it
   tries to lock the folio's range in inode Y's extent io tree, but it
   blocks since it's currently locked by task A - during a reflink we lock
   the inodes and the source and destination ranges after flushing all
   delalloc and waiting for ordered extent completion - after that we
   don't expect to have dirty folios in the ranges, the exception is if
   we have to copy an inline extent's data (because the destination offset
   is not zero);

4) Task A then attempts to start a transaction to update the inode item,
   and then it's blocked since the current transaction is in the
   TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START state. Therefore task A has to wait for the
   current transaction to become unblocked (its state &gt;=
   TRANS_STATE_UNBLOCKED).

   So task A is waiting for the transaction commit done by task B, and
   the later waiting on the extent lock of inode Y that is currently
   held by task A.

Syzbot recently reported this with the following stack traces:

   &lt;/TASK&gt;

Fix this by updating the i_size of the destination inode of a reflink
operation after we copy an inline extent's data to an offset beyond the
i_size and before attempting to start a transaction to update the inode's

[ Upstream commit 973e57c726c1f8e77259d1c8e519519f1e9aea77 ]

btrfs_ioctl_space_info() has a TOCTOU race between two passes over the
block group RAID type lists. The first pass counts entries to determine
the allocation size, then the second pass fills the buffer. The
groups_sem rwlock is released between passes, allowing concurrent block
group removal to reduce the entry count.

When the second pass fills fewer entries than the first pass counted,
copy_to_user() copies the full alloc_size bytes including trailing
uninitialized kmalloc bytes to userspace.

Fix by copying only total_spaces entries (the actually-filled count from
the second pass) instead of alloc_size bytes, and switch to kzalloc so
any future copy size mismatch cannot leak heap data.

Fixes: 7fde62bffb57 ("Btrfs: buffer results in the space_info ioctl")

<title>btrfs: fix double free in create_space_info_sub_group() error path</title>

<content type='text'>
[ Upstream commit a7449edf96143f192606ec8647e3167e1ecbd728 ]

When kobject_init_and_add() fails, the call chain is:

create_space_info_sub_group()
-&gt; btrfs_sysfs_add_space_info_type()
-&gt; kobject_init_and_add()
-&gt; failure
-&gt; kobject_put(&amp;sub_group-&gt;kobj)
-&gt; space_info_release()
-&gt; kfree(sub_group)

Then control returns to create_space_info_sub_group(), where:

btrfs_sysfs_add_space_info_type() returns error
-&gt; kfree(sub_group)

Thus, sub_group is freed twice.

Keep parent-&gt;sub_group[index] = NULL for the failure path, but after
btrfs_sysfs_add_space_info_type() has called kobject_put(), let the
kobject release callback handle the cleanup.

[ Upstream commit 771af6ff72e0ed0eb8bf97e5ae4fa5094e0c5d1d ]

We don't need it since we can grab fs_info from the given space_info.
So remove the fs_info argument.

<title>btrfs: fix missing last_unlink_trans update when removing a directory</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fb388eb58c1ba047ccabc33901839acfecadcf49</id>
<content type='text'>
commit 999757231c49376cd1a37308d2c8c4c9932571e1 upstream.

When removing a directory we are not updating its last_unlink_trans field,
which can result in incorrect fsync behaviour in case some one fsyncs the
directory after it was removed because it's holding a file descriptor on
it.

Example scenario:

   mkdir /mnt/dir1
   mkdir /mnt/dir1/dir2
   mkdir /mnt/dir3

   sync -f /mnt

   # Do some change to the directory and fsync it.
   chmod 700 /mnt/dir1
   xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/dir1

   # Move dir2 out of dir1 so that dir1 becomes empty.
   mv /mnt/dir1/dir2 /mnt/dir3/

   open fd on /mnt/dir1
   call rmdir(2) on path "/mnt/dir1"
   fsync fd

   &lt;trigger power failure&gt;

When attempting to mount the filesystem, the log replay will fail with
an -EIO error and dmesg/syslog has the following:

   [445771.719681] BTRFS error (device dm-0 state EA): open_ctree failed: -5

The problem is that such a fsync should have result in a fallback to a
transaction commit, but that did not happen because through the
btrfs_rmdir() we never update the directory's last_unlink_trans field.
Any inode that had a link removed must have its last_unlink_trans updated
to the ID of transaction used for the operation, otherwise fsync and log
replay will not work correctly.

btrfs_rmdir() calls btrfs_unlink_inode() and through that call chain we
never call btrfs_record_unlink_dir() in order to update last_unlink_trans.
However btrfs_unlink(), which is used for unlinking regular files, calls
btrfs_record_unlink_dir() and then calls btrfs_unlink_inode(). So fix
this by moving the call to btrfs_record_unlink_dir() from btrfs_unlink()
to btrfs_unlink_inode().

A test case for fstests will follow soon.

<title>btrfs: fix double free in create_space_info() error path</title>

commit 3f487be81292702a59ea9dbc4088b3360a50e837 upstream.

When kobject_init_and_add() fails, the call chain is:

create_space_info()
-&gt; btrfs_sysfs_add_space_info_type()
-&gt; kobject_init_and_add()
-&gt; failure
-&gt; kobject_put(&amp;space_info-&gt;kobj)
-&gt; space_info_release()
-&gt; kfree(space_info)

Then control returns to create_space_info():

btrfs_sysfs_add_space_info_type() returns error
-&gt; goto out_free
-&gt; kfree(space_info)

This causes a double free.

Keep the direct kfree(space_info) for the earlier failure path, but
after btrfs_sysfs_add_space_info_type() has called kobject_put(), let
the kobject release callback handle the cleanup.

<title>btrfs: fix zero size inode with non-zero size after log replay</title>

[ Upstream commit 5254d4181add9dfaa5e3519edd71cc8f752b2f85 ]

When logging that an inode exists, as part of logging a new name or
logging new dir entries for a directory, we always set the generation of
the logged inode item to 0. This is to signal during log replay (in
overwrite_item()), that we should not set the i_size since we only logged
that an inode exists, so the i_size of the inode in the subvolume tree
must be preserved (as when we log new names or that an inode exists, we
don't log extents).

This works fine except when we have already logged an inode in full mode
or it's the first time we are logging an inode created in a past
transaction, that inode has a new i_size of 0 and then we log a new name
for the inode (due to a new hardlink or a rename), in which case we log
an i_size of 0 for the inode and a generation of 0, which causes the log
replay code to not update the inode's i_size to 0 (in overwrite_item()).

An example scenario:

  mkdir /mnt/dir
  xfs_io -f -c "pwrite 0 64K" /mnt/dir/foo

  sync

  xfs_io -c "truncate 0" -c "fsync" /mnt/dir/foo

  ln /mnt/dir/foo /mnt/dir/bar

  xfs_io -c "fsync" /mnt/dir

  &lt;power fail&gt;

After log replay the file remains with a size of 64K. This is because when
we first log the inode, when we fsync file foo, we log its current i_size
of 0, and then when we create a hard link we log again the inode in exists
mode (LOG_INODE_EXISTS) but we set a generation of 0 for the inode item we
add to the log tree, so during log replay overwrite_item() sees that the
generation is 0 and i_size is 0 so we skip updating the inode's i_size
from 64K to 0.

Fix this by making sure at fill_inode_item() we always log the real
generation of the inode if it was logged in the current transaction with
the i_size we logged before. Also if an inode created in a previous
transaction is logged in exists mode only, make sure we log the i_size
stored in the inode item located from the commit root, so that if we log
multiple times that the inode exists we get the correct i_size.

A test case for fstests will follow soon.
