From a0fd1c6098633f9a95fc2f636383546c82b704c3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Boris Burkov boris@bur.io Date: Wed, 7 May 2025 12:42:24 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: fix folio leak in submit_one_async_extent()
If btrfs_reserve_extent() fails while submitting an async_extent for a compressed write, then we fail to call free_async_extent_pages() on the async_extent and leak its folios. A likely cause for such a failure would be btrfs_reserve_extent() failing to find a large enough contiguous free extent for the compressed extent.
I was able to reproduce this by:
1. mount with compress-force=zstd:3 2. fallocating most of a filesystem to a big file 3. fragmenting the remaining free space 4. trying to copy in a file which zstd would generate large compressed extents for (vmlinux worked well for this)
Step 4. hits the memory leak and can be repeated ad nauseam to eventually exhaust the system memory.
Fix this by detecting the case where we fallback to uncompressed submission for a compressed async_extent and ensuring that we call free_async_extent_pages().
