This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled btrfs: zoned: fix chunk allocation condition for zoned allocator to the 5.16-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: btrfs-zoned-fix-chunk-allocation-condition-for-zoned-allocator.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.16 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 82187d2ecdfb22ab7ee05f388402a39236d31428 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Naohiro Aota <naohiro.aota@xxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 8 Dec 2021 00:35:49 +0900 Subject: btrfs: zoned: fix chunk allocation condition for zoned allocator From: Naohiro Aota <naohiro.aota@xxxxxxx> commit 82187d2ecdfb22ab7ee05f388402a39236d31428 upstream. The ZNS specification defines a limit on the number of "active" zones. That limit impose us to limit the number of block groups which can be used for an allocation at the same time. Not to exceed the limit, we reuse the existing active block groups as much as possible when we can't activate any other zones without sacrificing an already activated block group in commit a85f05e59bc1 ("btrfs: zoned: avoid chunk allocation if active block group has enough space"). However, the check is wrong in two ways. First, it checks the condition for every raid index (ffe_ctl->index). Even if it reaches the condition and "ffe_ctl->max_extent_size >= ffe_ctl->min_alloc_size" is met, there can be other block groups having enough space to hold ffe_ctl->num_bytes. (Actually, this won't happen in the current zoned code as it only supports SINGLE profile. But, it can happen once it enables other RAID types.) Second, it checks the active zone availability depending on the raid index. The raid index is just an index for space_info->block_groups, so it has nothing to do with chunk allocation. These mistakes are causing a faulty allocation in a certain situation. Consider we are running zoned btrfs on a device whose max_active_zone == 0 (no limit). And, suppose no block group have a room to fit ffe_ctl->num_bytes but some room to meet ffe_ctl->min_alloc_size (i.e. max_extent_size > num_bytes >= min_alloc_size). In this situation, the following occur: - With SINGLE raid_index, it reaches the chunk allocation checking code - The check returns true because we can activate a new zone (no limit) - But, before allocating the chunk, it iterates to the next raid index (RAID5) - Since there are no RAID5 block groups on zoned mode, it again reaches the check code - The check returns false because of btrfs_can_activate_zone()'s "if (raid_index != BTRFS_RAID_SINGLE)" part - That results in returning -ENOSPC without allocating a new chunk As a result, we end up hitting -ENOSPC too early. Move the check to the right place in the can_allocate_chunk() hook, and do the active zone check depending on the allocation flag, not on the raid index.
