btrfs: fix fatal extent_buffer readahead vs releasepage race
Under somewhat convoluted conditions, it is possible to attempt to
release an extent_buffer that is under io, which triggers a BUG_ON in
btrfs_release_extent_buffer_pages.
This relies on a few different factors. First, extent_buffer reads done
as readahead for searching use WAIT_NONE, so they free the local extent
buffer reference while the io is outstanding. However, they should still
be protected by TREE_REF. However, if the system is doing signficant
reclaim, and simultaneously heavily accessing the extent_buffers, it is
possible for releasepage to race with two concurrent readahead attempts
in a way that leaves TREE_REF unset when the readahead extent buffer is
released.
Essentially, if two tasks race to allocate a new extent_buffer, but the
winner who attempts the first io is rebuffed by a page being locked
(likely by the reclaim itself) then the loser will still go ahead with
issuing the readahead. The loser's call to find_extent_buffer must also
race with the reclaim task reading the extent_buffer's refcount as 1 in
a way that allows the reclaim to re-clear the TREE_REF checked by
find_extent_buffer.
The following represents an example execution demonstrating the race:
CPU0 CPU1 CPU2
reada_for_search reada_for_search
readahead_tree_block readahead_tree_block
find_create_tree_block find_create_tree_block
alloc_extent_buffer alloc_extent_buffer
find_extent_buffer // not found
allocates eb
lock pages
associate pages to eb
insert eb into radix tree
set TREE_REF, refs == 2
unlock pages
read_extent_buffer_pages // WAIT_NONE
not uptodate (brand new eb)
lock_page
if !trylock_page
goto unlock_exit // not an error
free_extent_buffer
release_extent_buffer
atomic_dec_and_test refs to 1
find_extent_buffer // found
try_release_extent_buffer
take refs_lock
reads refs == 1; no io
atomic_inc_not_zero refs to 2
mark_buffer_accessed
check_buffer_tree_ref
// not STALE, won't take refs_lock
refs == 2; TREE_REF set // no action
read_extent_buffer_pages // WAIT_NONE
clear TREE_REF
release_extent_buffer
atomic_dec_and_test refs to 1
unlock_page
still not uptodate (CPU1 read failed on trylock_page)
locks pages
set io_pages > 0
submit io
return
free_extent_buffer
release_extent_buffer
dec refs to 0
delete from radix tree
btrfs_release_extent_buffer_pages
BUG_ON(io_pages > 0)!!!
We observe this at a very low rate in production and were also able to
reproduce it in a test environment by introducing some spurious delays
and by introducing probabilistic trylock_page failures.
To fix it, we apply check_tree_ref at a point where it could not
possibly be unset by a competing task: after io_pages has been
incremented. All the codepaths that clear TREE_REF check for io, so they
would not be able to clear it after this point until the io is done.
