cover btrfs: fix beyond-EOF write handling mostly for subpage and larger folios

Filipe fixed a bug in commit 18de34daa7c6 ("btrfs: truncate ordered extent when skipping writeback past i_size"), which can lead to btrfs check reporting missing data checksum.

However that fix is not complete, we can still get file extents inserted without any data checksum.

The root cause is that the original beyond-EOF handling is not compatible with subpage/larger folios from day 1, thus as long as we're still using the old [cur, end) range, there will always be something incorrect.

The old handling is always handling the range [cur, end), which at that time can only be one fs block.

Later subpage support is still re-using that part, but the enhanced btrfs_folio_clear_dirty() function allows passing a range that covers non-dirty blocks, this enhanced behavior masked the problem.

The true fix to the beyond-EOF handling should handle each beyond-EOF block one-by-one, just like how we handle regular writes.

The first patch is the minimal fix that can be backported, but unfortunately that still relies on the commit 18de34daa7c6 ("btrfs: truncate ordered extent when skipping writeback past i_size") itself, and can be tricky for older branches.

The second patch is to add an extra ASSERT() to catch any OE extent that doesn't have a proper reason to have no data checksum.
With that new ASSERT() we can catch missing cases more reliably.

PATCH 1/2 btrfs: fix beyond-EOF write handling

[BUG]
For the following write sequence with 64K page size and 4K fs block size, it will lead to file extent items to be inserted without any data checksum:

  mkfs.btrfs -s 4k -f $dev > /dev/null
  mount $dev $mnt
  xfs_io -f -c "pwrite 0 16k" -c "pwrite 32k 4k" -c pwrite "60k 64K" \
            -c "truncate 16k" $mnt/foobar
  umount $mnt

This will result the following 2 file extent items to be inserted (extra trace point added to insert_ordered_extent_file_extent()):

btrfs_finish_one_ordered: root=5 ino=257 file_off=61440 num_bytes=4096 csum_bytes=0
btrfs_finish_one_ordered: root=5 ino=257 file_off=0 num_bytes=16384 csum_bytes=16384

Note for file offset 60K, we're inserting an file extent without any data checksum.

Also note that range [32K, 36K) didn't reach insert_ordered_extent_file_extent(), which is the correct behavior as that OE is fully truncated, should not result any file extent.

Although file extent at 60K will be later dropped by btrfs_truncate(), if the transaction got committed after file extent inserted but before the file extent dropping, we will have a small window where we have a file extent beyond EOF and without any data checksum.

That will cause "btrfs check" to report error.

[CAUSE]
The sequence happens like this:

- Buffered write dirtied the page cache and updated isize

Now the inode size is 64K, with the following page cache layout:

  0             16K             32K              48K           64K
  |/////////////|               |//|                        |//|

- Truncate the inode to 16K
Which will trigger writeback through:

btrfs_setsize()

  |- truncate_setsize()
  |  Now the inode size is set to 16K
  |
  |- btrfs_truncacte()
     |- btrfs_wait_ordered_range() for [16K, u64(-1)]
        |- btrfs_fdatawrite_range() for [16K, u64(-1)}
	   |- extent_writepage() for folio 0
	      |- writepage_delalloc()
	      |  Generated OE for [0, 16K), [32K, 36K] and [60K, 64K)
	      |
	      |- extent_writepage_io()

Then inside extent_writepage_io(), the dirty fs blocks are handled differently:

- Submit write for range [0, 16K)
As they are still inside the inode size (16K).

- Mark OE [32K, 36K) as truncated
Since we only call btrfs_lookup_first_ordered_range() once, which returned the first OE after file offset 16K.

- Mark all OEs inside range [16K, 64K) as finished Which will mark OE ranges [32K, 36K) and [60K, 64K) as finished.

For OE [32K, 36K) since it's already marked as truncated, and its truncated length is 0, no file extent will be inserted.

For OE [60K, 64K) it has never been submitted thus has no data checksum, and we insert the file extent as usual.
This is the root cause of file extent at 60K to be inserted without any data checksum.

- Clear dirty flags for range [16K, 64K)
It is the function btrfs_folio_clear_dirty() which search and clear any dirty blocks inside that range.

[FIX]
The bug itself is introduced a long time ago, way before subpage and larger folio support.

At that time, fs block size must match page size, thus the range [cur, end) is just one fs block.

But later with subpage and larger folios, the same range [cur, end) can have multiple blocks and ordered extents.

Later commit 18de34daa7c6 ("btrfs: truncate ordered extent when skipping writeback past i_size") is fixing a bug related to subpage/larger folios, but it's still utilizing the old range [cur, end), meaning only the first OE will be marked as truncated.

The proper fix here is to make EOF handling block-by-block, not trying to handle the whole range to @end.

By this we always locate and truncate the OE for every dirty block.

Quoted 7 lines

   umount $mnt

If you can, add this to fstests.

The problem is, it's very hard to cause any observable result.

For most if not all cases, the file extent item insertion and truncation happen in the same transaction thus no error can be detected.

We need either a way to force all btrfs_end_transaction() to commit the trans, or very heavy workload to trigger enough transactions, then along with log-replay to detect such problem.

PATCH 2/2 btrfs: add an ASSERT() to catch ordered extents without datasum

In reply to Qu Wenruo

Inside btrfs_finish_one_ordered(), there are only very limited situations where the OE has no checksum:

- The OE is completely truncated or error happened In that case no file extent is going to be inserted.

- The inode has NODATASUM flag

- The inode belongs to data reloc tree

Add an ASSERT() using the last two cases, which will help us to catch problems described in commit 18de34daa7c6 ("btrfs: truncate ordered extent when skipping writeback past i_size"), and prevent future similar cases.

Re: [PATCH 2/2] btrfs: add an ASSERT() to catch ordered extents without datasum

Quoted 7 lines · Qu Wenruo

Inside btrfs_finish_one_ordered(), there are only very limited situations where the OE has no checksum:

- The OE is completely truncated or error happened In that case no file extent is going to be inserted.

Quoted 8 lines

- The inode has NODATASUM flag

- The inode belongs to data reloc tree

Add an ASSERT() using the last two cases, which will help us to catch problems described in commit 18de34daa7c6 ("btrfs: truncate ordered extent when skipping writeback past i_size"), and prevent future similar cases.

How exactly does this new assertion catches that case described in that commit? We had csums there, just not for the whole range of the ordered extent, just for the range from its start offset to the rounded up i_size (which is less than the ordered extent's end offset).

Although btrfs_setsize() will also wait for OEs during expansion, I'd prefer not to get isize involved in btrfs_finish_one_ordered() context.

Once i_size is involved, we need extra correctness check to make sure the value is correct and not racy.

I know the current one can not catch the situation that only part of the OE has csum, but I also didn't expect the ASSERT() to catch all situations.

The current one is good enough to catch most cases on subpage environment and still safe enough not to cause false alerts.

I know the current one can not catch the situation that only part of the OE has csum, but I also didn't expect the ASSERT() to catch all situations.

The current one is good enough to catch most cases on subpage environment and still safe enough not to cause false alerts.

But on the other hand, if we're adding an ASSERT(), we really want to catch them all, not just some easier to catch cases.

So I'll try to do all the following checks in a dedicated helper instead:

- If inode has NODATASUM, there must be no csum

- No checksum should be there for data reloc inode Or it will lead to -EEXIST during csum insertion.

- Csum must match the num_bytes ranges for uncompressed OE

- Csum must match the full disk_num_bytes range for compressed OE I'm not 100% sure about this part and will do more testing.

By this we do not need to bother i_size and still catch all cases, including the one in 18de34daa7c6 ("btrfs: truncate ordered extent when skipping writeback past i_size") and the no csum cases in previous patch.

If go with the example of patch 1, the OE range [60K, 64K) has no data checksum but the inode has data checksum, thus will immediately trigger the ASSERT().
