commit 6bf9cd2eed9aee6d742bb9296c994a91f5316949 upstream.
Under somewhat convoluted conditions, it is possible to attempt to release an extent_buffer that is under io, which triggers a BUG_ON in btrfs_release_extent_buffer_pages.
This relies on a few different factors. First, extent_buffer reads done as readahead for searching use WAIT_NONE, so they free the local extent buffer reference while the io is outstanding. However, they should still be protected by TREE_REF. However, if the system is doing signficant reclaim, and simultaneously heavily accessing the extent_buffers, it is possible for releasepage to race with two concurrent readahead attempts in a way that leaves TREE_REF unset when the readahead extent buffer is released.
Essentially, if two tasks race to allocate a new extent_buffer, but the winner who attempts the first io is rebuffed by a page being locked (likely by the reclaim itself) then the loser will still go ahead with issuing the readahead. The loser's call to find_extent_buffer must also race with the reclaim task reading the extent_buffer's refcount as 1 in a way that allows the reclaim to re-clear the TREE_REF checked by find_extent_buffer.
The following represents an example execution demonstrating the race:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2 reada_for_search reada_for_search readahead_tree_block readahead_tree_block find_create_tree_block find_create_tree_block alloc_extent_buffer alloc_extent_buffer find_extent_buffer // not found allocates eb lock pages associate pages to eb insert eb into radix tree set TREE_REF, refs == 2 unlock pages read_extent_buffer_pages // WAIT_NONE not uptodate (brand new eb) lock_page if !trylock_page goto unlock_exit // not an error free_extent_buffer release_extent_buffer atomic_dec_and_test refs to 1 find_extent_buffer // found try_release_extent_buffer take refs_lock reads refs == 1; no io atomic_inc_not_zero refs to 2 mark_buffer_accessed check_buffer_tree_ref // not STALE, won't take refs_lock refs == 2; TREE_REF set // no action read_extent_buffer_pages // WAIT_NONE clear TREE_REF release_extent_buffer atomic_dec_and_test refs to 1 unlock_page still not uptodate (CPU1 read failed on trylock_page) locks pages set io_pages > 0 submit io return free_extent_buffer release_extent_buffer dec refs to 0 delete from radix tree btrfs_release_extent_buffer_pages BUG_ON(io_pages > 0)!!!
We observe this at a very low rate in production and were also able to reproduce it in a test environment by introducing some spurious delays and by introducing probabilistic trylock_page failures.
To fix it, we apply check_tree_ref at a point where it could not possibly be unset by a competing task: after io_pages has been incremented. All the codepaths that clear TREE_REF check for io, so they would not be able to clear it after this point until the io is done.
