From: Filipe Manana fdmanana@suse.com Date: Mon, 15 Apr 2019 14:50:51 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: do not start a transaction during fiemap
During fiemap, for regular extents (non inline) we need to check if they are shared and if they are, set the shared bit. Checking if an extent is shared requires checking the delayed references of the currently running transaction, since some reference might have not yet hit the extent tree and be only in the in-memory delayed references.
However we were using a transaction join for this, which creates a new transaction when there is no transaction currently running. That means that two more potential failures can happen: creating the transaction and committing it. Further, if no write activity is currently happening in the system, and fiemap calls keep being done, we end up creating and committing transactions that do nothing.
In some extreme cases this can result in the commit of the transaction created by fiemap to fail with ENOSPC when updating the root item of a subvolume tree because a join does not reserve any space, leading to a trace like the following:

Since fiemap (and btrfs_check_shared()) is a read-only operation, do not do a transaction join to avoid the overhead of creating a new transaction (if there is currently no running transaction) and introducing a potential point of failure when the new transaction gets committed, instead use a transaction attach to grab a handle for the currently running transaction if any.
