[ Upstream commit 1d53c9e6723022b12e4a5ed4b141f67c834b7f6f ]
The btrfs writepages function collects a large range of pages flagged for delayed allocation, and then sends them down through the COW code for processing. When compression is on, we allocate one async_chunk structure for every 512K, and then run those pages through the compression code for IO submission.
writepages starts all of this off with a single page, locked by the original call to extent_write_cache_pages(), and it's important to keep track of this page because it has already been through clear_page_dirty_for_io().
The btrfs async_chunk struct has a pointer to the locked_page, and when we're redirtying the page because compression had to fallback to uncompressed IO, we use page->index to decide if a given async_chunk struct really owns that page.
But, this is racey. If a given delalloc range is broken up into two async_chunks (chunkA and chunkB), we can end up with something like this:
compress_file_range(chunkA) submit_compress_extents(chunkA) submit compressed bios(chunkA) put_page(locked_page)
compress_file_range(chunkB) ...
Or:
async_cow_submit submit_compressed_extents <--- falls back to buffered writeout cow_file_range extent_clear_unlock_delalloc __process_pages_contig put_page(locked_pages)
async_cow_submit
The end result is that chunkA is completed and cleaned up before chunkB even starts processing. This means we can free locked_page() and reuse it elsewhere. If we get really lucky, it'll have the same page->index in its new home as it did before.
While we're processing chunkB, we might decide we need to fall back to uncompressed IO, and so compress_file_range() will call __set_page_dirty_nobufers() on chunkB->locked_page.
Without cgroups in use, this creates as a phantom dirty page, which isn't great but isn't the end of the world. What can happen, it can go through the fixup worker and the whole COW machinery again:
in submit_compressed_extents(): while (async extents) { ... cow_file_range if (!page_started ...) extent_write_locked_range else if (...) unlock_page continue;
This hasn't been observed in practice but is still possible.
With cgroups in use, we might crash in the accounting code because page->mapping->i_wb isn't set.

The fix here is to make asyc_chunk->locked_page NULL everywhere but the one async_chunk struct that's allowed to do things to the locked page.
