When a task that is allocating metadata needs to wait for the async
reclaim job to process its ticket and gets a signal (because it was killed
for example) before doing the wait, the task ends up erroring out but
with space reserved for its ticket, which never gets released, resulting
in a metadata space leak (more specifically a leak in the bytes_may_use
counter of the metadata space_info object).
Here's the sequence of steps leading to the space leak:
1) A task tries to create a file for example, so it ends up trying to
start a transaction at btrfs_create();
2) The filesystem is currently in a state where there is not enough
metadata free space to satisfy the transaction's needs. So at
space-info.c:__reserve_metadata_bytes() we create a ticket and
add it to the list of tickets of the space info object. Also,
because the metadata async reclaim job is not running, we queue
a job ro run metadata reclaim;
3) In the meanwhile the task receives a signal (like SIGTERM from
a kill command for example);
4) After queing the async reclaim job, at __reserve_metadata_bytes(),
we unlock the metadata space info and call handle_reserve_ticket();
5) That last function calls wait_reserve_ticket(), which acquires the
lock from the metadata space info. Then in the first iteration of
its while loop, it calls prepare_to_wait_event(), which returns
-ERESTARTSYS because the task has a pending signal. As a result,
we set the error field of the ticket to -EINTR and exit the while
loop without deleting the ticket from the list of tickets (in the
space info object). After exiting the loop we unlock the space info;
6) The async reclaim job is able to release enough metadata, acquires
the metadata space info's lock and then reserves space for the ticket,
since the ticket is still in the list of (non-priority) tickets. The
space reservation happens at btrfs_try_granting_tickets(), called from
maybe_fail_all_tickets(). This increments the bytes_may_use counter
from the metadata space info object, sets the ticket's bytes field to
zero (meaning success, that space was reserved) and removes it from
the list of tickets;
7) wait_reserve_ticket() returns, with the error field of the ticket
set to -EINTR. Then handle_reserve_ticket() just propagates that error
to the caller. Because an error was returned, the caller does not
release the reserved space, since the expectation is that any error
means no space was reserved.
Fix this by removing the ticket from the list, while holding the space
info lock, at wait_reserve_ticket() when prepare_to_wait_event() returns
an error.
Also add some comments and an assertion to guarantee we never end up with
a ticket that has an error set and a bytes counter field set to zero, to
more easily detect regressions in the future.
This issue could be triggered sporadically by some test cases from fstests
such as generic/269 for example, which tries to fill a filesystem and then
kills fsstress processes running in the background.
When this issue happens, we get a warning in syslog/dmesg when unmounting
the filesystem, like the following:

We ran into a problem in production where a box with plenty of space was
getting wedged doing ENOSPC flushing. These boxes only had 20% of the
disk allocated, but their metadata space + global reserve was right at
the size of their metadata chunk.
In this case can_overcommit should be allowing allocations without
problem, but there's logic in can_overcommit that doesn't allow us to
overcommit if there's not enough real space to satisfy the global
reserve.
This is for historical reasons. Before there were only certain places
we could allocate chunks. We could go to commit the transaction and not
have enough space for our pending delayed refs and such and be unable to
allocate a new chunk. This would result in a abort because of ENOSPC.
This code was added to solve this problem.
However since then we've gained the ability to always be able to
allocate a chunk. So we can easily overcommit in these cases without
risking a transaction abort because of ENOSPC.
Also prior to now the global reserve really would be used because that's
the space we relied on for delayed refs. With delayed refs being
tracked separately we no longer have to worry about running out of
delayed refs space while committing. We are much less likely to
exhaust our global reserve space during transaction commit.
Fix the can_overcommit code to simply see if our current usage + what we
want is less than our current free space plus whatever slack space we
have in the disk is. This solves the problem we were seeing in
production and keeps us from flushing as aggressively as we approach our
actual metadata size usage.

Also if we find a ticket that is smaller than the first ticket in our

may_commit_transaction() decides we could satisfy the ticket by

Now that btrfs_space_info_add_old_bytes simply checks if we can make the

helpers in place.
Factor out the ticket wakeup logic into it's own helper, make
btrfs_space_info_add_old_bytes() update bytes_may_use and then call the
wakeup helper, and replace all calls to btrfs_space_info_add_new_bytes()
with the wakeup helper.

btrfs_space_info_add_old_bytes is used when adding the extra space from
an existing reservation back into the space_info to be used by any
waiting tickets. In order to keep us from overcommitting we check to
make sure that we can still use this space for our reserve ticket, and
if we cannot we'll simply subtract it from space_info->bytes_may_use.
However this is problematic, because it assumes that only changes to
bytes_may_use would affect our ability to make reservations. Any
changes to bytes_reserved would be missed. If we were unable to make a
reservation prior because of reserved space, but that reserved space was
free'd due to unlink or truncate and we were allowed to immediately
reclaim that metadata space we would still ENOSPC.
Consider the example where we create a file with a bunch of extents,
using up 2MiB of actual space for the new tree blocks. Then we try to
make a reservation of 2MiB but we do not have enough space to make this
reservation. The iput() occurs in another thread and we remove this
space, and since we did not write the blocks we simply do
space_info->bytes_reserved -= 2MiB. We would never see this because we
do not check our space info used, we just try to re-use the freed
reservations.
To fix this problem, and to greatly simplify the wakeup code, do away
with this partial refilling nonsense. Use
btrfs_space_info_add_old_bytes to subtract the reservation from
space_info->bytes_may_use, and then check the ticket against the total
used of the space_info the same way we do with the initial reservation
attempt.
This keeps the reservation logic consistent and solves the problem of
early ENOSPC in the case that we free up space in places other than
bytes_may_use and bytes_pinned. Thanks,

If we already have tickets on the list we don't want to steal their
reservations. This is a preparation patch for upcoming changes,
technically this shouldn't happen today because of the way we add bytes
to tickets before adding them to the space_info in most cases.
This does not change the FIFO nature of reserve tickets, it simply
allows us to enforce it in a different way. Previously it was enforced
because any new space would be added to the first ticket on the list,
which would result in new reservations getting a reserve ticket. This
replaces that mechanism by simply checking to see if we have outstanding
reserve tickets and skipping straight to adding a ticket for our
reservation.

btrfs_calc_trunc_metadata_size differs from trans_metadata_size in that
it doesn't take into account any splitting at the levels, because
truncate will never split nodes. However truncate _and_ changing will
never split nodes, so rename btrfs_calc_trunc_metadata_size to
btrfs_calc_metadata_size. Also btrfs_calc_trans_metadata_size is purely
for inserting items, so rename this to btrfs_calc_insert_metadata_size.
Making these clearer will help when I start using them differently in
upcoming patches.

We have this weird space flushing loop inside inode.c for evict where
we'll do the normal LIMIT flush, and then commit the transaction and
hope we get our space. This is super janky, and in fact there's really
nothing stopping us from using FLUSH_ALL except that we run delayed
iputs, which means we could deadlock. So introduce a new flush state
for eviction that does the normal priority flushing with all of the
states that are safe for eviction.
The nice side-effect of this is that we'll try harder for evictions.
Previously if (for example generic/269) you had a bunch of other
operations happening on the fs you could race with those reservations
when committing the transaction, and eventually miss getting a
reservation for the evict. With this code we'll have our ticket in
place through the transaction commit, so any pinned bytes will go to our
pending evictions first.
