When we set a subvolume to read-only mode we do not flush dellaloc for any of its inodes (except if the filesystem is mounted with -o flushoncommit), since it does not affect correctness for any subsequent operations - except for a future send operation. The send operation will not be able to see the delalloc data since the respective file extent items, inode item updates, backreferences, etc, have not hit yet the subvolume and extent trees. Effectively this means data loss, since the send stream will not contain any data from existing delalloc. Another problem from this is that if the writeback starts and finishes while the send operation is in progress, we have the subvolume tree being being modified concurrently which can result in send failing unexpectedly with EIO or hitting runtime errors, assertion failures or hitting BUG_ONs, etc. Simple reproducer: $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt $ btrfs subvolume create /mnt/sv $ xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xea 0 108K" /mnt/sv/foo $ btrfs property set /mnt/sv ro true $ btrfs send -f /tmp/send.stream /mnt/sv $ od -t x1 -A d /mnt/sv/foo 0000000 ea ea ea ea ea ea ea ea ea ea ea ea ea ea ea ea * 0110592 $ umount /mnt $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdc $ mount /dev/sdc /mnt $ btrfs receive -f /tmp/send.stream /mnt $ echo $? 0 $ od -t x1 -A d /mnt/sv/foo 0000000 # ---> empty file Since this a problem that affects send only, fix it in send by flushing dellaloc for all the roots used by the send operation before send starts to process the commit roots. This is a problem that affects send since it was introduced (commit 31db9f7c ("Btrfs: introduce BTRFS_IOC_SEND for btrfs send/receive")) but backporting it to older kernels has some dependencies: - For kernels between 3.19 and 4.20, it depends on commit 3cd24c69 ("btrfs: use tagged writepage to mitigate livelock of snapshot") because the function btrfs_start_delalloc_snapshot() does not exist before that commit. So one has to either pick that commit or replace the calls to btrfs_start_delalloc_snapshot() in this patch with calls to btrfs_start_delalloc_inodes(). - For kernels older than 3.19 it also requires commit e5fa8f86 ("Btrfs: ensure send always works on roots without orphans") because it depends on the function ensure_commit_roots_uptodate() which that commits introduced. - No dependencies for 5.0+ kernels. A test case for fstests follows soon. CC: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.19+ Signed-off-by:
