I got dmesg errors on generic/281 on our overnight fstests. Looking at the history this happens occasionally, with errors like this WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 673217 at fs/btrfs/extent_io.c:6848 assert_eb_page_uptodate+0x3f/0x50 CPU: 0 PID: 673217 Comm: kworker/u4:13 Tainted: G W 5.16.0-rc2+ #469 Hardware name: QEMU Standard PC (Q35 + ICH9, 2009), BIOS 1.13.0-2.fc32 04/01/2014 Workqueue: btrfs-cache btrfs_work_helper RIP: 0010:assert_eb_page_uptodate+0x3f/0x50 RSP: 0018:ffffae598230bc60 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 0017ffffc0002112 RBX: ffffebaec4100900 RCX: 0000000000001000 RDX: ffffebaec45733c7 RSI: ffffebaec4100900 RDI: ffff9fd98919f340 RBP: 0000000000000d56 R08: ffff9fd98e300000 R09: 0000000000000000 R10: 0001207370a91c50 R11: 0000000000000000 R12: 00000000000007b0 R13: ffff9fd98919f340 R14: 0000000001500000 R15: 0000000001cb0000 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff9fd9fbc00000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 00007f549fcf8940 CR3: 0000000114908004 CR4: 0000000000370ef0 Call Trace: extent_buffer_test_bit+0x3f/0x70 free_space_test_bit+0xa6/0xc0 load_free_space_tree+0x1d6/0x430 caching_thread+0x454/0x630 ? rcu_read_lock_sched_held+0x12/0x60 ? rcu_read_lock_sched_held+0x12/0x60 ? rcu_read_lock_sched_held+0x12/0x60 ? lock_release+0x1f0/0x2d0 btrfs_work_helper+0xf2/0x3e0 ? lock_release+0x1f0/0x2d0 ? finish_task_switch.isra.0+0xf9/0x3a0 process_one_work+0x270/0x5a0 worker_thread+0x55/0x3c0 ? process_one_work+0x5a0/0x5a0 kthread+0x174/0x1a0 ? set_kthread_struct+0x40/0x40 ret_from_fork+0x1f/0x30 This happens because we're trying to read from a extent buffer page that is !PageUptodate. This happens because we will clear the page uptodate when we have an IO error, but we don't clear the extent buffer uptodate. If we do a read later and find this extent buffer we'll think its valid and not return an error, and then trip over this warning. Fix this by also clearing uptodate on the extent buffer when this happens, so that we get an error when we do a btrfs_search_slot() and find this block later.
