Subject: [PATCH] Btrfs: fix memory leak due to concurrent append writes with
fiemap

When we have a buffered write that starts at an offset greater than or equals to the file's size happening concurrently with a full ranged fiemap, we can end up leaking an extent state structure.

Suppose we have a file with a size of 1Mb, and before the buffered write and fiemap are performed, it has a single extent state in its io tree representing the range from 0 to 1Mb, with the EXTENT_DELALLOC bit set.

The following sequence diagram shows how the memory leak happens if a fiemap a buffered write, starting at offset 1Mb and with a length of 4Kb, are performed concurrently.

CPU 1 CPU 2

extent_fiemap()

    --> it's a full ranged fiemap
        range from 0 to LLONG_MAX - 1
        (9223372036854775807)

    --> locks range in the inode's
        io tree
      --> after this we have 2 extent
          states in the io tree:
          --> 1 for range [0, 1Mb[ with
              the bits EXTENT_LOCKED and
              EXTENT_DELALLOC_BITS set
          --> 1 for the range
              [1Mb, LLONG_MAX[ with
              the EXTENT_LOCKED bit set

                                                  --> start buffered write at offset
                                                      1Mb with a length of 4Kb

                                                      --> cached_state is NULL

                                                        --> returns 0 and does not lock
                                                            range because it starts
                                                            at current i_size / eof

                                                      --> cached_state remains NULL

                                                          (...)

                                                    --> btrfs_buffered_write() ends up
                                                        with a non-NULL cached_state and
                                                        never calls anything to release its
                                                        reference on it, resulting in a
                                                        memory leak

Fix this by calling free_extent_state() on cached_state if the range was not locked by lock_and_cleanup_extent_if_need().

The same issue can happen if anything else other than fiemap locks a range that covers eof and beyond.

This could be triggered, sporadically, by test case generic/561 from the fstests suite, which makes duperemove run concurrently with fsstress, and duperemove does plenty of calls to fiemap. When CONFIG_BTRFS_DEBUG is set the leak is reported in dmesg/syslog when removing the btrfs module with a message like the following:

  [77100.039461] BTRFS: state leak: start 6574080 end 6582271 state 16402 in tree 0 refs 1

Otherwise (CONFIG_BTRFS_DEBUG not set) detectable with kmemleak.
