It's possible that btrfs_sync_log() bails out after one of the two btrfs_write_marked_extents() which convert extent state's state bit into EXTENT_NEED_WAIT from EXTENT_DIRTY/EXTENT_NEW, however only EXTENT_DIRTY and EXTENT_NEW are searched by free_log_tree() so that those extent states with EXTENT_NEED_WAIT lead to memory leak. cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Liu Bo <bo.li.liu@xxxxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Josef Bacik <jbacik@xxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@xxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/btrfs/tree-log.c | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) --- a/fs/btrfs/tree-log.c +++ b/fs/btrfs/tree-log.c @@ -3013,13 +3013,14 @@ static void free_log_tree(struct btrfs_t while (1) { ret = find_first_extent_bit(&log->dirty_log_pages, - 0, &start, &end, EXTENT_DIRTY | EXTENT_NEW, + 0, &start, &end, + EXTENT_DIRTY | EXTENT_NEW | EXTENT_NEED_WAIT, NULL); if (ret) break; clear_extent_bits(&log->dirty_log_pages, start, end, - EXTENT_DIRTY | EXTENT_NEW); + EXTENT_DIRTY | EXTENT_NEW | EXTENT_NEED_WAIT); } /* Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from bo.li.liu@xxxxxxxxxx are queue-4.9/btrfs-fix-btrfs_evict_inode-to-handle-abnormal-inodes-correctly.patch queue-4.9/btrfs-fix-crash-due-to-not-cleaning-up-tree-log-block-s-dirty-bits.patch queue-4.9/btrfs-fix-extent-state-leak-from-tree-log.patch queue-4.9/btrfs-fix-unexpected-eexist-when-creating-new-inode.patch queue-4.9/btrfs-fix-deadlock-in-run_delalloc_nocow.patch
