From db7e68b522c01eb666cfe1f31637775f18997811 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Josef Bacik josef@toxicpanda.com Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2024 16:50:22 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: drop the backref cache during relocation if we commit
Since the inception of relocation we have maintained the backref cache across transaction commits, updating the backref cache with the new bytenr whenever we COWed blocks that were in the cache, and then updating their bytenr once we detected a transaction id change.
This works as long as we're only ever modifying blocks, not changing the structure of the tree.
However relocation does in fact change the structure of the tree. For example, if we are relocating a data extent, we will look up all the leaves that point to this data extent. We will then call do_relocation() on each of these leaves, which will COW down to the leaf and then update the file extent location.
But, a key feature of do_relocation() is the pending list. This is all the pending nodes that we modified when we updated the file extent item. We will then process all of these blocks via finish_pending_nodes, which calls do_relocation() on all of the nodes that led up to that leaf.
The purpose of this is to make sure we don't break sharing unless we absolutely have to. Consider the case that we have 3 snapshots that all point to this leaf through the same nodes, the initial COW would have created a whole new path. If we did this for all 3 snapshots we would end up with 3x the number of nodes we had originally. To avoid this we will cycle through each of the snapshots that point to each of these nodes and update their pointers to point at the new nodes.
Once we update the pointer to the new node we will drop the node we removed the link for and all of its children via btrfs_drop_subtree(). This is essentially just btrfs_drop_snapshot(), but for an arbitrary point in the snapshot.
The problem with this is that we will never reflect this in the backref cache. If we do this btrfs_drop_snapshot() for a node that is in the backref tree, we will leave the node in the backref tree. This becomes a problem when we change the transid, as now the backref cache has entire subtrees that no longer exist, but exist as if they still are pointed to by the same roots.
In the best case scenario you end up with "adding refs to an existing tree ref" errors from insert_inline_extent_backref(), where we attempt to link in nodes on roots that are no longer valid.
Worst case you will double free some random block and re-use it when there's still references to the block.
This is extremely subtle, and the consequences are quite bad. There isn't a way to make sure our backref cache is consistent between transid's.
In order to fix this we need to simply evict the entire backref cache anytime we cross transid's. This reduces performance in that we have to rebuild this backref cache every time we change transid's, but fixes the bug.
This has existed since relocation was added, and is a pretty critical bug. There's a lot more cleanup that can be done now that this functionality is going away, but this patch is as small as possible in order to fix the problem and make it easy for us to backport it to all the kernels it needs to be backported to.
Followup series will dismantle more of this code and simplify relocation drastically to remove this functionality.
We have a reproducer that reproduced the corruption within a few minutes of running. With this patch it survives several iterations/hours of running the reproducer.
