PATCH 1/1 btrfs: Remove unneeded cast to s64 for qgroup rfer state

This patch reverts commit: b4fcd6be6bbd702ae1a6545c9b413681850a9814 Wang Shilong added those casts as a workaround for a bug reproduced using the following steps:

Steps to reproduce:

Quoted 12 lines

mkfs.btrfs <disk>
mount <disk> <mnt>
dd if=/dev/zero of=/<mnt>/data bs=1M count=10 sync
btrfs quota enable <mnt>
btrfs qgroup create 0/5 <mnt>
btrfs qgroup limit 5M 0/5 <mnt>
rm -f /<mnt>/data
sync
btrfs qgroup show <mnt>
dd if=/dev/zero of=data bs=1M count=1

Quoted 3 lines
Quoted 1 line

From the perspective of users, qgroup's referenced or exclusive

is negative,but user can not continue to write data! a workaround way is to cast u64 to s64 when doing qgroup reservation

I am unable to reproduce this problem without his modification. I could be wrong in reverting this, so I'm gonna CC Wang as well so he is aware of this patch.

The cast is a workaround for a quite old qgroup bug, which will cause excl/rfer overflow to minus.

The remove of cast rfer/exel now is OK, as qgroup keeps maturing, especially after 4.2-rc1 rfer/exel will keep sane under most case (exception will be qgroup reassign and subvolume deletion, but will not case minus value even under than case).

But I'm not a fan to remove it now.
As qgroup still has a known huge bug for the qg->reserved part, we are aware of it and working on it actively.

So for such cleanup, I'd prefer to do it when we rework the accounting part of qgroup.

Thanks,
Qu

rfer/exel and reserved are all of type unsigned int, how exactly would they overflow to minus?

Can you tell me more about this known huge bug and how you can reproduce it using the present implementation?

Due to qgroup bugs of course,
In old implement, btrfs_find_all_roots() will not always find the correct roots.

Causing quota to minus more bytes on existing qgroups.

For example qg->rfer is 16K, btrfs_find_all_roots() think the qg previously own a 32K extent but not now, and qgroup accounting decides to decrease qg->rfer by 32K, now you get -16K, which is a super huge number if used as u64.

Check the fstest patch I submitted:
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/7023301/

Btrfs qgroup has qgroup reserved space leak problem, and under some case, it can also overflow to minus.(I don't have a minus reproducer, but it already happened several times in my test environment)

That's what we are fixing now, trying to make it public before 4.3-rc1.

Thanks,
Qu

Thank you for the detailed explanation Qu, I will read more on your changes and perhaps learn a thing or two.

All the respect,
Alex
