    Btrfs: prevent ioctls from interfering with a swap file · eede2bf3
    Omar Sandoval authored
    A later patch will implement swap file support for Btrfs, but before we
    do that, we need to make sure that the various Btrfs ioctls cannot
    change a swap file.
    
    When a swap file is active, we must make sure that the extents of the
    file are not moved and that they don't become shared. That means that
    the following are not safe:
    
    - chattr +c (enable compression)
    - reflink
    - dedupe
    - snapshot
    - defrag
    
    Don't allow those to happen on an active swap file.
    
    Additionally, balance, resize, device remove, and device replace are
    also unsafe if they affect an active swapfile. Add a red-black tree of
    block groups and devices which contain an active swapfile. Relocation
    checks each block group against this tree and skips it or errors out for
    balance or resize, respectively. Device remove and device replace check
    the tree for the device they will operate on.
    
    Note that we don't have to worry about chattr -C (disable nocow), which
    we ignore for non-empty files, because an active swapfile must be
    non-empty and can't be truncated. We also don't have to worry about
    autodefrag because it's only done on COW files. Truncate and fallocate
    are already taken care of by the generic code. Device add doesn't do
    relocation so it's not an issue, either.
