PATCH v2 1/1 xfs: fix transaction block reservation in xfs_reflink_end_cow

From: Darrick J. Wong <[email protected]>

In xfs_reflink_end_cow, we have to swap written extents from the CoW fork into the data fork, which can require extensive block map updates. The block calculation has an off-by-one underflow, which can lead to following shutdown:

XFS: Assertion failed: tp->t_blk_res >= tp->t_blk_res_used, file: fs/xfs/xfs_trans.c, line: 116 <machine registers snipped>

This isn't it either. I managed to reproduce the ASSERT with some debugging enabled, and noticed that just prior to the directio write the data fork looked like this:

D: ABCDEFGH

where A-H are each single-block mappings. The COW fork for whatever reason was pretty fragmented too:

C: IJKLMNOP

where I-P are also single block mappings. The log showed that there was a chain of transactions with EFIs and block allocations, and I observed that the number of extents was just enough that the mappings wouldn't fit in an extents format data fork. I surmised that the end_cow loop would punch out the last block of the range:

D: ABCDEFG-
C: IJKLMNOP

which causes the bmap code to collapse the bmbt block into extents format, freeing the bmbt block. Then, we remap out of the COW fork:

D: ABCDEFGP
C: IJKLMNO-

which causes the bmap code to convert the data fork from extents format back into bmbt format, which allocates a block. We then repeat this process to replace block G with block O, which causes yet another collapse and convert cycle. The NEXTENTADD block reservation macro only reserves enough blocks to add I-P (8 blocks) to a data fork where A-H have *already* been cleared out, which means that we assume 1 bmbt split.

Therefore, we only reserve 5 blocks for that split (max bmbt height for this fs), and we use up all 5 of them mapping blocks P-L into the data fork. The extents -> btree conversion for remapping block K overflows the transaction block reservation and down goes the filesystem. Note that in the vast majority of cases the extents are bigger or we don't ping-pong the reservation, so we've never hit this until now.

I /think/ the solution is to push the transaction allocation into the loop so that each transaction roll-chain only moves one extent and therefore we only have to reserve enough blocks for a single btree split, which should be enough for us. The downside is that we drop the ilock during end_cow, which I think(?) is fine since all CoW write paths go through _reflink_end_cow, and it isn't picky about holes. As a bonus, this will also remove the restriction on the number of bytes you can _reflink_end_cow in a single call. Not that anyone's complained about not being able to CoW 16T in a single operation...
