commit 40cdc50987 upstream.
After the recent changes made by commit c2e3930529 ("btrfs: clear
extent buffer uptodate when we fail to write it") and its followup fix,
commit 651740a502 ("btrfs: check WRITE_ERR when trying to read an
extent buffer"), we can now end up not cleaning up space reservations of
log tree extent buffers after a transaction abort happens, as well as not
cleaning up still dirty extent buffers.
This happens because if writeback for a log tree extent buffer failed,
then we have cleared the bit EXTENT_BUFFER_UPTODATE from the extent buffer
and we have also set the bit EXTENT_BUFFER_WRITE_ERR on it. Later on,
when trying to free the log tree with free_log_tree(), which iterates
over the tree, we can end up getting an -EIO error when trying to read
a node or a leaf, since read_extent_buffer_pages() returns -EIO if an
extent buffer does not have EXTENT_BUFFER_UPTODATE set and has the
EXTENT_BUFFER_WRITE_ERR bit set. Getting that -EIO means that we return
immediately as we can not iterate over the entire tree.
In that case we never update the reserved space for an extent buffer in
the respective block group and space_info object.
When this happens we get the following traces when unmounting the fs:

This also means that in case we have log tree extent buffers that are
still dirty, we can end up not cleaning them up in case we find an
extent buffer with EXTENT_BUFFER_WRITE_ERR set on it, as in that case
we have no way for iterating over the rest of the tree.
This issue is very often triggered with test cases generic/475 and
generic/648 from fstests.
The issue could almost be fixed by iterating over the io tree attached to
each log root which keeps tracks of the range of allocated extent buffers,
log_root->dirty_log_pages, however that does not work and has some
inconveniences:
1) After we sync the log, we clear the range of the extent buffers from
the io tree, so we can't find them after writeback. We could keep the
ranges in the io tree, with a separate bit to signal they represent
extent buffers already written, but that means we need to hold into
more memory until the transaction commits.
How much more memory is used depends a lot on whether we are able to
allocate contiguous extent buffers on disk (and how often) for a log
tree - if we are able to, then a single extent state record can
represent multiple extent buffers, otherwise we need multiple extent
state record structures to track each extent buffer.
In fact, my earlier approach did that:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/3aae7c6728257c7ce2279d6660ee2797e5e34bbd.1641300250.git.fdmanana@suse.com/
However that can cause a very significant negative impact on
performance, not only due to the extra memory usage but also because
we get a larger and deeper dirty_log_pages io tree.
We got a report that, on beefy machines at least, we can get such
performance drop with fsmark for example:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/20220117082426.GE32491@xsang-OptiPlex-9020/
2) We would be doing it only to deal with an unexpected and exceptional
case, which is basically failure to read an extent buffer from disk
due to IO failures. On a healthy system we don't expect transaction
aborts to happen after all;
3) Instead of relying on iterating the log tree or tracking the ranges
of extent buffers in the dirty_log_pages io tree, using the radix
tree that tracks extent buffers (fs_info->buffer_radix) to find all
log tree extent buffers is not reliable either, because after writeback
of an extent buffer it can be evicted from memory by the release page
callback of the btree inode (btree_releasepage()).
Since there's no way to be able to properly cleanup a log tree without
being able to read its extent buffers from disk and without using more
memory to track the logical ranges of the allocated extent buffers do
the following:
1) When we fail to cleanup a log tree, setup a flag that indicates that
failure;
2) Trigger writeback of all log tree extent buffers that are still dirty,
and wait for the writeback to complete. This is just to cleanup their
state, page states, page leaks, etc;
3) When unmounting the fs, ignore if the number of bytes reserved in a
block group and in a space_info is not 0 if, and only if, we failed to
cleanup a log tree. Also ignore only for metadata block groups and the
metadata space_info object.
This is far from a perfect solution, but it serves to silence test
failures such as those from generic/475 and generic/648. However having
a non-zero value for the reserved bytes counters on unmount after a
transaction abort, is not such a terrible thing and it's completely
harmless, it does not affect the filesystem integrity in any way.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
