Fstests generic/475 provides a way to fail metadata reads while checking if checksum exists for the inode inside run_delalloc_nocow(), and csum_exist_in_range() interprets error (-EIO) as inode having checksum and makes its caller enter the cow path. In case of free space inode, this ends up with a warning in cow_file_range(). The same problem applies to btrfs_cross_ref_exist() since it may also read metadata in between. With this, run_delalloc_nocow() bails out when errors occur at the two places. cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> v2.6.28+ Fixes: 17d217fe970d ("Btrfs: fix nodatasum handling in balancing code") Signed-off-by: Liu Bo <bo.li.liu@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@xxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- fs/btrfs/inode.c | 37 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 32 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) --- a/fs/btrfs/inode.c +++ b/fs/btrfs/inode.c @@ -1257,6 +1257,8 @@ static noinline int csum_exist_in_range( list_del(&sums->list); kfree(sums); } + if (ret < 0) + return ret; return 1; } @@ -1389,10 +1391,23 @@ next_slot: goto out_check; if (btrfs_extent_readonly(fs_info, disk_bytenr)) goto out_check; - if (btrfs_cross_ref_exist(root, ino, - found_key.offset - - extent_offset, disk_bytenr)) + ret = btrfs_cross_ref_exist(root, ino, + found_key.offset - + extent_offset, disk_bytenr); + if (ret) { + /* + * ret could be -EIO if the above fails to read + * metadata. + */ + if (ret < 0) { + if (cow_start != (u64)-1) + cur_offset = cow_start; + goto error; + } + + WARN_ON_ONCE(nolock); goto out_check; + } disk_bytenr += extent_offset; disk_bytenr += cur_offset - found_key.offset; num_bytes = min(end + 1, extent_end) - cur_offset; @@ -1410,10 +1425,22 @@ next_slot: * this ensure that csum for a given extent are * either valid or do not exist. */ - if (csum_exist_in_range(fs_info, disk_bytenr, - num_bytes)) { + ret = csum_exist_in_range(fs_info, disk_bytenr, + num_bytes); + if (ret) { if (!nolock) btrfs_end_write_no_snapshotting(root); + + /* + * ret could be -EIO if the above fails to read + * metadata. + */ + if (ret < 0) { + if (cow_start != (u64)-1) + cur_offset = cow_start; + goto error; + } + WARN_ON_ONCE(nolock); goto out_check; } if (!btrfs_inc_nocow_writers(fs_info, disk_bytenr)) { Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from bo.li.liu@xxxxxxxxxx are queue-4.14/btrfs-fix-unexpected-cow-in-run_delalloc_nocow.patch
