btrfs: subpage: avoid potential deadlock with compression and delalloc
[BUG] With experimental subpage compression enabled, a simple fsstress can lead to self deadlock on page 720896: mkfs.btrfs -f -s 4k $dev > /dev/null mount $dev -o compress $mnt $fsstress -p 1 -n 100 -w -d $mnt -v -s 1625511156 [CAUSE] If we have a file layout looks like below: 0 32K 64K 96K 128K |//| |///////////////| 4K Then we run delalloc range for the inode, it will: - Call find_lock_delalloc_range() with @delalloc_start = 0 Then we got a delalloc range [0, 4K). This range will be COWed. - Call find_lock_delalloc_range() again with @delalloc_start = 4K Since find_lock_delalloc_range() never cares whether the range is still inside page range [0, 64K), it will return range [64K, 128K). This range meets the condition for subpage compression, will go through async COW path. And async COW path will return @page_started. But that @page_started is now for range [64K, 128K), not for range [0, 64K). - writepage_dellloc() returned 1 for page [0, 64K) Thus page [0, 64K) will not be unlocked, nor its page dirty status will be cleared. Next time when we try to lock page [0, 64K) we will deadlock, as there is no one to release page [0, 64K). This problem will never happen for regular page size as one page only contains one sector. After the first find_lock_delalloc_range() call, the @delalloc_end will go beyond @page_end no matter if we found a delalloc range or not Thus this bug only happens for subpage, as now we need multiple runs to exhaust the delalloc range of a page. [FIX] Fix the problem by ensuring the delalloc range we ran at least started inside @locked_page. So that we will never get incorrect @page_started. And to prevent such problem from happening again: - Make find_lock_delalloc_range() return false if the found range is beyond @end value passed in. Since @end will be utilized now, add an ASSERT() to ensure we pass correct @end into find_lock_delalloc_range(). This also means, for selftests we needs to populate @end before calling find_lock_delalloc_range(). - New ASSERT() in find_lock_delalloc_range() Now we will make sure the @start/@end passed in at least covers part of the page. - New ASSERT() in run_delalloc_range() To make sure the range at least starts inside @locked page. - Use @delalloc_start as proper cursor, while @delalloc_end is always reset to @page_end.
