Btrfs: fix race leading to BUG_ON when running delalloc for nodatacow
If we are using the NO_HOLES feature, we have a tiny time window when running delalloc for a nodatacow inode where we can race with a concurrent link or xattr add operation leading to a BUG_ON. This happens because at run_delalloc_nocow() we end up casting a leaf item of type BTRFS_INODE_[REF|EXTREF]_KEY or of type BTRFS_XATTR_ITEM_KEY to a file extent item (struct btrfs_file_extent_item) and then analyse its extent type field, which won't match any of the expected extent types (values BTRFS_FILE_EXTENT_[REG|PREALLOC|INLINE]) and therefore trigger an explicit BUG_ON(1). The following sequence diagram shows how the race happens when running a no-cow dellaloc range [4K, 8K[ for inode 257 and we have the following neighbour leafs: Leaf X (has N items) Leaf Y [ ... (257 INODE_ITEM 0) (257 INODE_REF 256) ] [ (257 EXTENT_DATA 8192), ... ] slot N - 2 slot N - 1 slot 0 (Note the implicit hole for inode 257 regarding the [0, 8K[ range) CPU 1 CPU 2 run_dealloc_nocow() btrfs_lookup_file_extent() --> searches for a key with value (257 EXTENT_DATA 4096) in the fs/subvol tree --> returns us a path with path->nodes[0] == leaf X and path->slots[0] == N because path->slots[0] is >= btrfs_header_nritems(leaf X), it calls btrfs_next_leaf() btrfs_next_leaf() --> releases the path hard link added to our inode, with key (257 INODE_REF 500) added to the end of leaf X, so leaf X now has N + 1 keys --> searches for the key (257 INODE_REF 256), because it was the last key in leaf X before it released the path, with path->keep_locks set to 1 --> ends up at leaf X again and it verifies that the key (257 INODE_REF 256) is no longer the last key in the leaf, so it returns with path->nodes[0] == leaf X and path->slots[0] == N, pointing to the new item with key (257 INODE_REF 500) the loop iteration of run_dealloc_nocow() does not break out the loop and continues because the key referenced in the path at path->nodes[0] and path->slots[0] is for inode 257, its type is < BTRFS_EXTENT_DATA_KEY and its offset (500) is less then our delalloc range's end (8192) the item pointed by the path, an inode reference item, is (incorrectly) interpreted as a file extent item and we get an invalid extent type, leading to the BUG_ON(1): if (extent_type == BTRFS_FILE_EXTENT_REG || extent_type == BTRFS_FILE_EXTENT_PREALLOC) { (...) } else if (extent_type == BTRFS_FILE_EXTENT_INLINE) { (...) } else { BUG_ON(1) } The same can happen if a xattr is added concurrently and ends up having a key with an offset smaller then the delalloc's range end. So fix this by skipping keys with a type smaller than BTRFS_EXTENT_DATA_KEY. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>
