There are several bugs at error path of create_snapshot() when the
transaction commitment failed.
- access the freed transaction handler. At the end of the
transaction commitment, the transaction handler was freed, so we
should not access it after the transaction commitment.
- we were not aware of the error which happened during the snapshot
creation if we submitted a async transaction commitment.
- pending snapshot access vs pending snapshot free. when something
wrong happened after we submitted a async transaction commitment,
the transaction committer would cleanup the pending snapshots and
free them. But the snapshot creators were not aware of it, they
would access the freed pending snapshots.
This patch fixes the above problems by:
- remove the dangerous code that accessed the freed handler
- assign ->error if the error happens during the snapshot creation
- the transaction committer doesn't free the pending snapshots,
just assigns the error number and evicts them before we unblock
the transaction.

There are two problems in the space reservation of the snapshot/
subvolume creation.
- don't reserve the space for the root item insertion
- the space which is reserved in the qgroup is different with
the free space reservation. we need reserve free space for
7 items, but in qgroup reservation, we need reserve space only
for 3 items.
So we implement new metadata reservation functions for the
snapshot/subvolume creation.

Since we have grabbed the parent inode at the beginning of the

release it after the pending snapshots are actually created,
it is safe to access the parent inode directly during the snapshot

While inserting dir index and updating inode for a snapshot, we'd
add delayed items which consume trans->block_rsv, if we don't have
any space reserved in this trans handle, we either just return or
reserve space again.
But before creating pending snapshots during committing transaction,
we've done a release on this trans handle, so we don't have space reserved
in it at this stage.
What we're using is block_rsv of pending snapshots which has already
reserved well enough space for both inserting dir index and updating
inode, so we need to set trans handle to indicate that we have space
now.

In some cases, we need commit the current transaction, but don't want
to start a new one if there is no running transaction, so we introduce
the function - btrfs_attach_transaction(), which can catch the current
transaction, and return -ENOENT if there is no running transaction.
But no running transaction doesn't mean the current transction completely,
because we removed the running transaction before it completes. In some
cases, it doesn't matter. But in some special cases, such as freeze fs, we
hope the transaction is fully on disk, it will introduce some bugs, for
example, we may feeze the fs and dump the data in the disk, if the transction
doesn't complete, we would dump inconsistent data. So we need fix the above
problem for those cases.
We fixes this problem by introducing a function:
btrfs_attach_transaction_barrier()
if we hope all the transaction is fully on the disk, even they are not
running, we can use this function.

Miao made the ordered operations stuff run async, which introduced a
deadlock where we could get somebody (sync) racing in and committing the
transaction while a commit was already happening. The new committer would
try and flush ordered operations which would hang waiting for the commit to
finish because it is done asynchronously and no longer inherits the callers
trans handle. To fix this we need to make the ordered operations list a per
transaction list. We can get new inodes added to the ordered operation list
by truncating them and then having another process writing to them, so this
makes it so that anybody trying to add an ordered operation _must_ start a
transaction in order to add itself to the list, which will keep new inodes
from getting added to the ordered operations list after we start committing.
This should fix the deadlock and also keeps us from doing a lot more work
than we need to during commit. Thanks,

I hit a deadlock where transaction commit was waiting on num_writers to be

happen because cleanup_transaction is really to fixup a bad commit, it
doesn't do the normal trans handle cleanup things. So if we have an error

There is no lock to protect fs_info->fs_state, it will introduce

mov %fs_state rax
or $0x1 rax
mov %fs_state rax
or $0x2 rax
mov rax %fs_state
mov rax %fs_state
The expected value is 3, but in fact, it is 2.
Though this problem doesn't happen now (because there is only one

the above problem will happen to a certainty.

We batch up operations to the extent allocation tree, which allows
us to deal with the recursive nature of using the extent allocation
tree to allocate extents to the extent allocation tree.
It also provides a mechanism to sort and collect extent
operations, which makes it much more efficient to record extents
that are close together.
The delayed extent operations must all be finished before the
running transaction commits, so we have code to make sure and run a few
of the batched operations when closing our transaction handles.
This creates a great deal of contention for the locks in the
delayed extent operation tree, and also contention for the lock on the
extent allocation tree itself. All the extra contention just slows
down the operations and doesn't get things done any faster.
This commit changes things to use a wait queue instead. As procs
want to run the delayed operations, one of them races in and gets
permission to hit the tree, and the others step back and wait for
progress to be made.

This builds on David Woodhouse's original Btrfs raid5/6 implementation.
The code has changed quite a bit, blame Chris Mason for any bugs.
Read/modify/write is done after the higher levels of the filesystem have
prepared a given bio. This means the higher layers are not responsible
for building full stripes, and they don't need to query for the topology
of the extents that may get allocated during delayed allocation runs.
It also means different files can easily share the same stripe.
But, it does expose us to incorrect parity if we crash or lose power
while doing a read/modify/write cycle. This will be addressed in a
later commit.
Scrub is unable to repair crc errors on raid5/6 chunks.
Discard does not work on raid5/6 (yet)
The stripe size is fixed at 64KiB per disk. This will be tunable
in a later commit.

First, though the current transaction->aborted check can stop the commit early
and avoid unnecessary operations, it is too early, and some transaction handles
don't end, those handles may set transaction->aborted after the check.
Second, when we commit the transaction, we will wake up some worker threads to
flush the space cache and inode cache. Those threads also allocate some transaction
handles and may set transaction->aborted if some serious error happens.
So we need more check for ->aborted when committing the transaction. Fix it.

The handling for directory crc hash overflows was fairly obscure,
split_leaf returns EOVERFLOW when we try to extend the item and that is
supposed to bubble up to userland. For a while it did so, but along the
way we added better handling of errors and forced the FS readonly if we
hit IO errors during the directory insertion.
Along the way, we started testing only for EEXIST and the EOVERFLOW case
was dropped. The end result is that we may force the FS readonly if we
catch a directory hash bucket overflow.
This fixes a few problem spots. First I add tests for EOVERFLOW in the
places where we can safely just return the error up the chain.
btrfs_rename is harder though, because it tries to insert the new
directory item only after it has already unlinked anything the rename
was going to overwrite. Rather than adding very complex logic, I added
a helper to test for the hash overflow case early while it is still safe
to bail out.
Snapshot and subvolume creation had a similar problem, so they are using
the new helper now too.

It is because the transaction may not be committed when the transaction handle
end even though it is the last handle of the current transaction. This design
avoid committing the transaction frequently, but also introduce the above

So I add btrfs_attach_transaction() which can catch the current transaction

This function also can be used to instead of btrfs_join_transaction_freeze()
because it don't increase the writer counter and don't start a new transaction,
so it also can fix the deadlock between sync and freeze.
Besides that, it is used to instead of btrfs_join_transaction() in

When we delete a inode, we will remove all the delayed items including delayed
inode update, and then truncate all the relative metadata. If there is lots of
metadata, we will end the current transaction, and start a new transaction to
truncate the left metadata. In this way, we will leave a inode item that its
link counter is > 0, and also may leave some directory index items in fs/file tree
after the current transaction ends. In other words, the metadata in this fs/file tree
is inconsistent. If we create a snapshot for this tree now, we will find a inode with
corrupted metadata in the new snapshot, and we won't continue to drop the left metadata,
because its link counter is not 0.
We fix this problem by updating the inode item before the current transaction ends.
