This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled btrfs: fix space cache inconsistency after error loading it from disk to the 5.10-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-fix-space-cache-inconsistency-after-error-load.patch and it can be found in the queue-5.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 5f8ecdce42b6dc54b3ebf0774842a3a2000e9c7b Author: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu May 4 12:04:18 2023 +0100 btrfs: fix space cache inconsistency after error loading it from disk [ Upstream commit 0004ff15ea26015a0a3a6182dca3b9d1df32e2b7 ] When loading a free space cache from disk, at __load_free_space_cache(), if we fail to insert a bitmap entry, we still increment the number of total bitmaps in the btrfs_free_space_ctl structure, which is incorrect since we failed to add the bitmap entry. On error we then empty the cache by calling __btrfs_remove_free_space_cache(), which will result in getting the total bitmaps counter set to 1. A failure to load a free space cache is not critical, so if a failure happens we just rebuild the cache by scanning the extent tree, which happens at block-group.c:caching_thread(). Yet the failure will result in having the total bitmaps of the btrfs_free_space_ctl always bigger by 1 then the number of bitmap entries we have. So fix this by having the total bitmaps counter be incremented only if we successfully added the bitmap entry.
