Calling btrfs_qgroup_reserve_meta_prealloc from
btrfs_delayed_inode_reserve_metadata can result in flushing delalloc
while holding a transaction and delayed node locks. This is deadlock
prone. In the past multiple commits:
* ae5e070eac ("btrfs: qgroup: don't try to wait flushing if we're
already holding a transaction")
* 6f23277a49 ("btrfs: qgroup: don't commit transaction when we already
hold the handle")
Tried to solve various aspects of this but this was always a
whack-a-mole game. Unfortunately those 2 fixes don't solve a deadlock
scenario involving btrfs_delayed_node::mutex. Namely, one thread
can call btrfs_dirty_inode as a result of reading a file and modifying
its atime:

To fully address those cases the complete fix is to never issue any
flushing while holding the transaction or the delayed node lock. This
patch achieves it by calling qgroup_reserve_meta directly which will
either succeed without flushing or will fail and return -EDQUOT. In the
latter case that return value is going to be propagated to
btrfs_dirty_inode which will fallback to start a new transaction. That's
fine as the majority of time we expect the inode will have
BTRFS_DELAYED_NODE_INODE_DIRTY flag set which will result in directly
copying the in-memory state.

When creating a snapshot we check if the current number of swap files, in
the root, is non-zero, and if it is, we error out and warn that we can not
create the snapshot because there are active swap files.
However this is racy because when a task started activation of a swap
file, another task might have started already snapshot creation and might
have seen the counter for the number of swap files as zero. This means
that after the swap file is activated we may end up with a snapshot of the
same root successfully created, and therefore when the first write to the
swap file happens it has to fall back into COW mode, which should never
happen for active swap files.
Basically what can happen is:
1) Task A starts snapshot creation and enters ioctl.c:create_snapshot().
There it sees that root->nr_swapfiles has a value of 0 so it continues;
2) Task B enters btrfs_swap_activate(). It is not aware that another task
started snapshot creation but it did not finish yet. It increments
root->nr_swapfiles from 0 to 1;
3) Task B checks that the file meets all requirements to be an active
swap file - it has NOCOW set, there are no snapshots for the inode's
root at the moment, no file holes, no reflinked extents, etc;
4) Task B returns success and now the file is an active swap file;
5) Task A commits the transaction to create the snapshot and finishes.
The swap file's extents are now shared between the original root and
the snapshot;
6) A write into an extent of the swap file is attempted - there is a
snapshot of the file's root, so we fall back to COW mode and therefore
the physical location of the extent changes on disk.
So fix this by taking the snapshot lock during swap file activation before
locking the extent range, as that is the order in which we lock these
during buffered writes.

When we active a swap file, at btrfs_swap_activate(), we acquire the
exclusive operation lock to prevent the physical location of the swap
file extents to be changed by operations such as balance and device
replace/resize/remove. We also call there can_nocow_extent() which,
among other things, checks if the block group of a swap file extent is
currently RO, and if it is we can not use the extent, since a write
into it would result in COWing the extent.
However we have no protection against a scrub operation running after we
activate the swap file, which can result in the swap file extents to be
COWed while the scrub is running and operating on the respective block
group, because scrub turns a block group into RO before it processes it
and then back again to RW mode after processing it. That means an attempt
to write into a swap file extent while scrub is processing the respective
block group, will result in COWing the extent, changing its physical
location on disk.
Fix this by making sure that block groups that have extents that are used
by active swap files can not be turned into RO mode, therefore making it
not possible for a scrub to turn them into RO mode. When a scrub finds a
block group that can not be turned to RO due to the existence of extents
used by swap files, it proceeds to the next block group and logs a warning
message that mentions the block group was skipped due to active swap
files - this is the same approach we currently use for balance.

If more than one IO is issued for one file extent, these IO can be

the "one IO == one ordered extent" rule.
The normal buffered, uncompressed and not pre-allocated write path (used
by cow_file_range()) sometimes does not follow this rule. It can write a

Enable zone append writing for zoned mode. When using zone append, a
bio is issued to the start of a target zone and the device decides to
place it inside the zone. Upon completion the device reports the actual
written position back to the host.
Three parts are necessary to enable zone append mode. First, modify the
bio to use REQ_OP_ZONE_APPEND in btrfs_submit_bio_hook() and adjust the
bi_sector to point the beginning of the zone.
Second, record the returned physical address (and disk/partno) to the
ordered extent in end_bio_extent_writepage() after the bio has been
completed. We cannot resolve the physical address to the logical address
because we can neither take locks nor allocate a buffer in this end_bio
context. So, we need to record the physical address to resolve it later
in btrfs_finish_ordered_io().
And finally, rewrite the logical addresses of the extent mapping and
checksum data according to the physical address using btrfs_rmap_block.
If the returned address matches the originally allocated address, we can
skip this rewriting process.

extract_ordered_extent() hooks into btrfs_submit_data_bio() and splits the

one bio and the corresponding device limits.
Several sanity checks need to be done in extract_ordered_extent() e.g.
- We cannot split once end_bio'd ordered extent because we cannot divide
ordered->bytes_left for the split ones
- We do not expect a compressed ordered extent
- We should not have checksum list because we omit the list splitting.
Since the function is called before btrfs_wq_submit_bio() or
btrfs_csum_one_bio(), this should be always ensured.
We also need to split an extent map by creating a new one. If not,
unpin_extent_cache() complains about the difference between the start of

To support subpage sector size, data also need extra info to make sure
which sectors in a page are uptodate/dirty/...
This patch will make pages for data inodes get btrfs_subpage structure
attached, and detached when the page is freed.
This patch also slightly changes the timing when
set_page_extent_mapped() is called to make sure:
- We have page->mapping set
page->mapping->host is used to grab btrfs_fs_info, thus we can only
call this function after page is mapped to an inode.
One call site attaches pages to inode manually, thus we have to modify
the timing of set_page_extent_mapped() a bit.
- As soon as possible, before other operations
Since memory allocation can fail, we have to do extra error handling.
Calling set_page_extent_mapped() as soon as possible can simply the
error handling for several call sites.
The idea is pretty much the same as iomap_page, but with more bitmaps
for btrfs specific cases.
Currently the plan is to switch iomap if iomap can provide sector
aligned write back (only write back dirty sectors, but not the full
page, data balance require this feature).
So we will stick to btrfs specific bitmap for now.

Before this change, the btrfs_get_io_geometry() function was calling
btrfs_get_chunk_map() to get the extent mapping, necessary for
calculating the I/O geometry. It was using that extent mapping only
internally and freeing the pointer after its execution.
That resulted in calling btrfs_get_chunk_map() de facto twice by the
__btrfs_map_block() function. It was calling btrfs_get_io_geometry()
first and then calling btrfs_get_chunk_map() directly to get the extent
mapping, used by the rest of the function.
Change that to passing the extent mapping to the btrfs_get_io_geometry()
function as an argument.
This could improve performance in some cases. For very large
filesystems, i.e. several thousands of allocated chunks, not only this
avoids searching two times the rbtree, saving time, it may also help
reducing contention on the lock that protects the tree - thinking of
writeback starting for multiple inodes, other tasks allocating or
removing chunks, and anything else that requires access to the rbtree.

Commit dbfdb6d1b3 ("Btrfs: Search for all ordered extents that could
span across a page") make btrfs_invalidapage() to search all ordered
extents.
The offending code looks like this:
again:
start = page_start;
ordered = btrfs_lookup_ordered_range(inode, start, page_end - start + 1);
if (ordred) {
end = min(page_end,
ordered->file_offset + ordered->num_bytes - 1);
/* Do the cleanup */
start = end + 1;
if (start < page_end)
goto again;
}
The behavior is indeed necessary for the incoming subpage support, but
when it iterates through all the ordered extents, it also resets the
search range @start.
This means, for the following cases, we can double account the ordered
extents, causing its bytes_left underflow:
Page offset
0 16K 32K
|<--- OE 1 --->|<--- OE 2 ---->|
As the first iteration will find ordered extent (OE) 1, which doesn't
cover the full page, thus after cleanup code, we need to retry again.
But again label will reset start to page_start, and we got OE 1 again,
which causes double accounting on OE 1, and cause OE 1's byte_left to
underflow.
This problem can only happen for subpage case, as for regular sectorsize
== PAGE_SIZE case, we will always find a OE ends at or after page end,
thus no way to trigger the problem.
Move the again label after start = page_start. There will be more
comprehensive rework to convert the open coded loop to a proper while
loop for subpage support.

[BUG]
There is a long existing bug in the last parameter of
btrfs_add_ordered_extent(), in commit 771ed689d2 ("Btrfs: Optimize
compressed writeback and reads") back to 2008.
In that ancient commit btrfs_add_ordered_extent() expects the @type
parameter to be one of the following:
- BTRFS_ORDERED_REGULAR
- BTRFS_ORDERED_NOCOW
- BTRFS_ORDERED_PREALLOC
- BTRFS_ORDERED_COMPRESSED
But we pass 0 in cow_file_range(), which means BTRFS_ORDERED_IO_DONE.
Ironically extra check in __btrfs_add_ordered_extent() won't set the bit
if we see (type == IO_DONE || type == IO_COMPLETE), and avoid any
obvious bug.
But this still leads to regular COW ordered extent having no bit to
indicate its type in various trace events, rendering REGULAR bit
useless.
[FIX]
Change the following aspects to avoid such problem:
- Reorder btrfs_ordered_extent::flags
Now the type bits go first (REGULAR/NOCOW/PREALLCO/COMPRESSED), then
DIRECT bit, finally extra status bits like IO_DONE/COMPLETE/IOERR.
- Add extra ASSERT() for btrfs_add_ordered_extent_*()
- Remove @type parameter for btrfs_add_ordered_extent_compress()
As the only valid @type here is BTRFS_ORDERED_COMPRESSED.
- Remove the unnecessary special check for IO_DONE/COMPLETE in
__btrfs_add_ordered_extent()
This is just to make the code work, with extra ASSERT(), there are
limited values can be passed in.

Commit 38d715f494 ("btrfs: use btrfs_start_delalloc_roots in
shrink_delalloc") cleaned up how we do delalloc shrinking by utilizing
some infrastructure we have in place to flush inodes that we use for
device replace and snapshot. However this introduced a pretty serious
performance regression. To reproduce the user untarred the source
tarball of Firefox (360MiB xz compressed/1.5GiB uncompressed), and would
see it take anywhere from 5 to 20 times as long to untar in 5.10
compared to 5.9. This was observed on fast devices (SSD and better) and
not on HDD.
The root cause is because before we would generally use the normal
writeback path to reclaim delalloc space, and for this we would provide
it with the number of pages we wanted to flush. The referenced commit
changed this to flush that many inodes, which drastically increased the
amount of space we were flushing in certain cases, which severely
affected performance.
We cannot revert this patch unfortunately because of 3d45f221ce
("btrfs: fix deadlock when cloning inline extent and low on free
metadata space") which requires the ability to skip flushing inodes that
are being cloned in certain scenarios, which means we need to keep using
our flushing infrastructure or risk re-introducing the deadlock.
Instead to fix this problem we can go back to providing
btrfs_start_delalloc_roots with a number of pages to flush, and then set
up a writeback_control and utilize sync_inode() to handle the flushing
for us. This gives us the same behavior we had prior to the fix, while
still allowing us to avoid the deadlock that was fixed by Filipe. I

When cloning an inline extent there are cases where we can not just copy
the inline extent from the source range to the target range (e.g. when the
target range starts at an offset greater than zero). In such cases we copy
the inline extent's data into a page of the destination inode and then
dirty that page. However, after that we will need to start a transaction
for each processed extent and, if we are ever low on available metadata
space, we may need to flush existing delalloc for all dirty inodes in an
attempt to release metadata space - if that happens we may deadlock:
* the async reclaim task queued a delalloc work to flush delalloc for
the destination inode of the clone operation;
* the task executing that delalloc work gets blocked waiting for the
range with the dirty page to be unlocked, which is currently locked
by the task doing the clone operation;
* the async reclaim task blocks waiting for the delalloc work to complete;
* the cloning task is waiting on the waitqueue of its reservation ticket
while holding the range with the dirty page locked in the inode's
io_tree;
* if metadata space is not released by some other task (like delalloc for
some other inode completing for example), the clone task waits forever
and as a consequence the delalloc work and async reclaim tasks will hang
forever as well. Releasing more space on the other hand may require
starting a transaction, which will hang as well when trying to reserve
metadata space, resulting in a deadlock between all these tasks.
When this happens, traces like the following show up in dmesg/syslog:

< stack traces of more tasks blocked on metadata reservation like the clone
task above, because the async reclaim task has deadlocked >
(...)
Another thing to notice is that the worker task that is deadlocked when
trying to flush the destination inode of the clone operation is at
btrfs_invalidatepage(). This is simply because the clone operation has a
destination offset greater than the i_size and we only update the i_size
of the destination file after cloning an extent (just like we do in the
buffered write path).
Since the async reclaim path uses btrfs_start_delalloc_roots() to trigger
the flushing of delalloc for all inodes that have delalloc, add a runtime
flag to an inode to signal it should not be flushed, and for inodes with
that flag set, start_delalloc_inodes() will simply skip them. When the
cloning code needs to dirty a page to copy an inline extent, set that flag
on the inode and then clear it when the clone operation finishes.
This could be sporadically triggered with test case generic/269 from
fstests, which exercises many fsstress processes running in parallel with
several dd processes filling up the entire filesystem.

Refactor btrfs_lookup_bio_sums() by:
- Remove the @file_offset parameter
There are two factors making the @file_offset parameter useless:
* For csum lookup in csum tree, file offset makes no sense
We only need disk_bytenr, which is unrelated to file_offset
* page_offset (file offset) of each bvec is not contiguous.
Pages can be added to the same bio as long as their on-disk bytenr
is contiguous, meaning we could have pages at different file offsets
in the same bio.
Thus passing file_offset makes no sense any more.
The only user of file_offset is for data reloc inode, we will use
a new function, search_file_offset_in_bio(), to handle it.
- Extract the csum tree lookup into search_csum_tree()
The new function will handle the csum search in csum tree.
The return value is the same as btrfs_find_ordered_sum(), returning
the number of found sectors which have checksum.
- Change how we do the main loop
The only needed info from bio is:
* the on-disk bytenr
* the length
After extracting the above info, we can do the search without bio
at all, which makes the main loop much simpler:
for (cur_disk_bytenr = orig_disk_bytenr;
cur_disk_bytenr < orig_disk_bytenr + orig_len;
cur_disk_bytenr += count * sectorsize) {
/* Lookup csum tree */
count = search_csum_tree(fs_info, path, cur_disk_bytenr,
search_len, csum_dst);
if (!count) {
/* Csum hole handling */
}
}
- Use single variable as the source to calculate all other offsets
Instead of all different type of variables, we use only one main
variable, cur_disk_bytenr, which represents the current disk bytenr.
All involved values can be calculated from that variable, and
all those variable will only be visible in the inner loop.
The above refactoring makes btrfs_lookup_bio_sums() way more robust than
it used to be, especially related to the file offset lookup. Now
file_offset lookup is only related to data reloc inode, otherwise we
don't need to bother file_offset at all.

Currently btrfs_verify_data_csum() just passes the whole page to
check_data_csum(), which is fine since we only support sectorsize ==
PAGE_SIZE.
To support subpage, we need to properly honor per-sector
checksum verification, just like what we did in dio read path.
This patch will do the csum verification in a for loop, starts with
pg_off == start - page_offset(page), with sectorsize increase for
each loop.
For sectorsize == PAGE_SIZE case, the pg_off will always be 0, and we
will only loop once.
For subpage case, we do the iterate over each sector and if we found any
error, we return error.

Parameter icsum for check_data_csum() is a little hard to understand.
So is the phy_offset for btrfs_verify_data_csum().
Both parameters are calculated values for csum lookup.
Instead of some calculated value, just pass bio_offset and let the
final and only user, check_data_csum(), calculate whatever it needs.
Since we are here, also make the bio_offset parameter and some related
variables to be u32 (unsigned int).
As bio size is limited by its bi_size, which is unsigned int, and has
extra size limit check during various bio operations.
Thus we are ensured that bio_offset won't overflow u32.
Thus for all involved functions, not only rename the parameter from
@phy_offset to @bio_offset, but also reduce its width to u32, so we
won't have suspicious "u32 = u64 >> sector_bits;" lines anymore.

The parameter bio_offset of extent_submit_bio_start_t is very confusing.
If it's really bio_offset (offset to bio), then it should be u32. But
in fact, it's only utilized by dio read, and that member is used as file
offset, which must be u64.
Rename it to dio_file_offset since the only user uses it as file offset,
and add comment for who is using it.

It's been deprecated since commit b547a88ea5 ("btrfs: start

A filesystem that uses the feature (mount -o inode_cache) tracks the
inode numbers in bitmaps, that data stay on the filesystem after this
patch. The size is roughly 5MiB for 1M inodes [1], which is considered
small enough to be left there. Removal of the change can be implemented

When we are attempting to start writeback for an existing extent in NOCOW
mode, at run_delalloc_nocow(), we must check if the extent is shared, and
if it is, fallback to a COW write. However we do such check while still
holding a read lock on the leaf that contains the file extent item, and
that check, the call to btrfs_cross_ref_exist(), can take some time
because:
1) It needs to do a search on the extent tree, which obviously takes some
time, specially if delayed references are being run at the moment, as
we can block when trying to lock currently write locked btree nodes;
2) It needs to check the delayed references for any existing reference
for our data extent, this requires acquiring the delayed references'
spinlock and maybe block on the mutex of a delayed reference head in the
case where there is a delayed reference for our data extent, in the
worst case it makes us release the path on the extent tree and retry
the whole process again (going back to step 1).
There are other operations we do while holding the leaf locked that can
take some significant time as well (specially all together):
* btrfs_extent_readonly() - to check if the block group containing the
extent is currently in RO mode. This requires taking a spinlock and
searching for the block group in a rbtree that can be big on large
filesystems;
* csum_exist_in_range() - to search if there are any checksums in the
csum tree for the extent. Like before, this can take some time if we are
in a filesystem that has both COW and NOCOW files, in which case the
csum tree is not empty;
* btrfs_inc_nocow_writers() - increment the number of nocow writers in the
block group that contains the data extent. Needs to acquire a spinlock
and search for the block group in a rbtree that can be big on large
filesystems.
So just unlock the leaf (release the path) before doing all those checks,
since we do not need it anymore. In case we can not do a NOCOW write for
the extent, due to any of those checks failing, and the writeback range
goes beyond that extents' length, we will do another btree search for the
next file extent item.
The following script that calls dbench was used to measure the impact of
this change on a VM with 8 CPUs, 16Gb of ram, using a raw NVMe device

At inode.c:cow_file_range_inline(), after we insert the inline extent
in the fs/subvolume btree, we call btrfs_drop_extent_cache() to drop
all extent maps in the file range, however that is not necessary because
we have already done it in the call to btrfs_drop_extents(), which calls
btrfs_drop_extent_cache() for us, and since at this point we have the file
range locked in the inode's iotree (we are in the writeback path), we know
no other task can come in and read stale file extent items or find none
and therefore create either stale extent maps or an extent map that
represents a hole.
So just remove that unnecessary call to btrfs_drop_extent_cache(), as it's
doing nothing and only wasting time. This call has been around since 2008,
introduced in commit c8b978188c ("Btrfs: Add zlib compression support"),
but even back then it seems it was not necessary, since we had the range
locked in the inode's iotree and the call to btrfs_drop_extents() already
used to always call btrfs_drop_extent_cache().

There are only 2 direct calls to set_extent_bit outside of extent-io -
in btrfs_find_new_delalloc_bytes and btrfs_truncate_block, the rest are
thin wrappers around __set_extent_bit. This adds unnecessary indirection
and just makes it more annoying when looking at the various extent bit
manipulation functions. This patch renames __set_extent_bit to
set_extent_bit effectively removing a level of indirection. No
functional changes.

There are several occasions where we do not update the inode's number of
used bytes atomically, resulting in a concurrent stat(2) syscall to report
a value of used blocks that does not correspond to a valid value, that is,
a value that does not match neither what we had before the operation nor
what we get after the operation completes.
In extreme cases it can result in stat(2) reporting zero used blocks, which
can cause problems for some userspace tools where they can consider a file
with a non-zero size and zero used blocks as completely sparse and skip
reading data, as reported/discussed a long time ago in some threads like
the following:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2016-07/msg00001.html
The cases where this can happen are the following:
-> Case 1
If we do a write (buffered or direct IO) against a file region for which
there is already an allocated extent (or multiple extents), then we have a
short time window where we can report a number of used blocks to stat(2)
that does not take into account the file region being overwritten. This
short time window happens when completing the ordered extent(s).
This happens because when we drop the extents in the write range we
decrement the inode's number of bytes and later on when we insert the new
extent(s) we increment the number of bytes in the inode, resulting in a
short time window where a stat(2) syscall can get an incorrect number of
used blocks.
If we do writes that overwrite an entire file, then we have a short time
window where we report 0 used blocks to stat(2).
Example reproducer:
$ cat reproducer-1.sh
#!/bin/bash
MNT=/mnt/sdi
DEV=/dev/sdi
stat_loop()
{
trap "wait; exit" SIGTERM
local filepath=$1
local expected=$2
local got
while :; do
got=$(stat -c %b $filepath)
if [ $got -ne $expected ]; then
echo -n "ERROR: unexpected used blocks"
echo " (got: $got expected: $expected)"
fi
done
}
mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV > /dev/null
# mkfs.xfs -f $DEV > /dev/null
# mkfs.ext4 -F $DEV > /dev/null
# mkfs.f2fs -f $DEV > /dev/null
# mkfs.reiserfs -f $DEV > /dev/null
mount $DEV $MNT
xfs_io -f -s -c "pwrite -b 64K 0 64K" $MNT/foobar >/dev/null
expected=$(stat -c %b $MNT/foobar)
# Create a process to keep calling stat(2) on the file and see if the
# reported number of blocks used (disk space used) changes, it should
# not because we are not increasing the file size nor punching holes.
stat_loop $MNT/foobar $expected &
loop_pid=$!
for ((i = 0; i < 50000; i++)); do
xfs_io -s -c "pwrite -b 64K 0 64K" $MNT/foobar >/dev/null
done
kill $loop_pid &> /dev/null
wait
umount $DEV
$ ./reproducer-1.sh
ERROR: unexpected used blocks (got: 0 expected: 128)
ERROR: unexpected used blocks (got: 0 expected: 128)
(...)
Note that since this is a short time window where the race can happen, the
reproducer may not be able to always trigger the bug in one run, or it may
trigger it multiple times.
-> Case 2
If we do a buffered write against a file region that does not have any
allocated extents, like a hole or beyond EOF, then during ordered extent
completion we have a short time window where a concurrent stat(2) syscall
can report a number of used blocks that does not correspond to the value
before or after the write operation, a value that is actually larger than
the value after the write completes.
This happens because once we start a buffered write into an unallocated
file range we increment the inode's 'new_delalloc_bytes', to make sure
any stat(2) call gets a correct used blocks value before delalloc is
flushed and completes. However at ordered extent completion, after we
inserted the new extent, we increment the inode's number of bytes used
with the size of the new extent, and only later, when clearing the range
in the inode's iotree, we decrement the inode's 'new_delalloc_bytes'
counter with the size of the extent. So this results in a short time
window where a concurrent stat(2) syscall can report a number of used
blocks that accounts for the new extent twice.
Example reproducer:
$ cat reproducer-2.sh
#!/bin/bash
MNT=/mnt/sdi
DEV=/dev/sdi
stat_loop()
{
trap "wait; exit" SIGTERM
local filepath=$1

if [ $got -ne $expected ]; then
echo -n "ERROR: unexpected used blocks"
echo " (got: $got expected: $expected)"

offset=$(($i * $write_size))
xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xab $offset $write_size" $MNT/foobar >/dev/null
blocks_used=$(stat -c %b $MNT/foobar)
# Fsync the file to trigger writeback and keep calling stat(2) on it
# to see if the number of blocks used changes.
stat_loop $MNT/foobar $blocks_used &

(...)
Note that since this is a short time window where the race can happen, the
reproducer may not be able to always trigger the bug in one run, or it may
trigger it multiple times.
-> Case 3
Another case where such problems happen is during other operations that
replace extents in a file range with other extents. Those operations are
extent cloning, deduplication and fallocate's zero range operation.
The cause of the problem is similar to the first case. When we drop the
extents from a range, we decrement the inode's number of bytes, and later
on, after inserting the new extents we increment it. Since this is not
done atomically, a concurrent stat(2) call can see and return a number of
used blocks that is smaller than it should be, does not match the number
of used blocks before or after the clone/deduplication/zero operation.
Like for the first case, when doing a clone, deduplication or zero range
operation against an entire file, we end up having a time window where we
can report 0 used blocks to a stat(2) call.
Example reproducer:
$ cat reproducer-3.sh
#!/bin/bash
MNT=/mnt/sdi
DEV=/dev/sdi
mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV > /dev/null
# mkfs.xfs -f -m reflink=1 $DEV > /dev/null
mount $DEV $MNT
extent_size=$((64 * 1024))
num_extents=16384
file_size=$(($extent_size * $num_extents))
# File foo has many small extents.
xfs_io -f -s -c "pwrite -S 0xab -b $extent_size 0 $file_size" $MNT/foo \
> /dev/null
# File bar has much less extents and has exactly the same data as foo.
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xab 0 $file_size" $MNT/bar > /dev/null
expected=$(stat -c %b $MNT/foo)
# Now deduplicate bar into foo. While the deduplication is in progres,
# the number of used blocks/file size reported by stat should not change
xfs_io -c "dedupe $MNT/bar 0 0 $file_size" $MNT/foo > /dev/null &
dedupe_pid=$!
while [ -n "$(ps -p $dedupe_pid -o pid=)" ]; do
used=$(stat -c %b $MNT/foo)
if [ $used -ne $expected ]; then
echo "Unexpected blocks used: $used (expected: $expected)"
fi
done
umount $DEV
$ ./reproducer-3.sh
Unexpected blocks used: 2076800 (expected: 2097152)
Unexpected blocks used: 2097024 (expected: 2097152)
Unexpected blocks used: 2079872 (expected: 2097152)
(...)
Note that since this is a short time window where the race can happen, the
reproducer may not be able to always trigger the bug in one run, or it may
trigger it multiple times.
So fix this by:
1) Making btrfs_drop_extents() not decrement the VFS inode's number of
bytes, and instead return the number of bytes;
2) Making any code that drops extents and adds new extents update the
inode's number of bytes atomically, while holding the btrfs inode's
spinlock, which is also used by the stat(2) callback to get the inode's
number of bytes;
3) For ranges in the inode's iotree that are marked as 'delalloc new',
corresponding to previously unallocated ranges, increment the inode's
number of bytes when clearing the 'delalloc new' bit from the range,
in the same critical section that decrements the inode's
'new_delalloc_bytes' counter, delimited by the btrfs inode's spinlock.
An alternative would be to have btrfs_getattr() wait for any IO (ordered
extents in progress) and locking the whole range (0 to (u64)-1) while it
it computes the number of blocks used. But that would mean blocking
stat(2), which is a very used syscall and expected to be fast, waiting
for writes, clone/dedupe, fallocate, page reads, fiemap, etc.

There are many arguments for __btrfs_drop_extents() and its wrapper
btrfs_drop_extents(), which makes it hard to add more arguments to it and
requires changing every caller. I have added a couple myself back in 2014
commit 1acae57b16 ("Btrfs: faster file extent item replace operations")
and therefore know firsthand that it is a bit cumbersome to add additional
arguments to these functions.
Since I will need to add more arguments in a subsequent bug fix, this
change is preparatory work and adds a data structure that holds all the
arguments, for both input and output, that are passed to this function,
with some comments in the structure's definition mentioning what each
field is and how it relates to other fields.
Callers of this function need only to zero out the content of the
structure and setup only the fields they need. This also removes the
need to have both __btrfs_drop_extents() and btrfs_drop_extents(), so
now we have a single function named btrfs_drop_extents() that takes a
pointer to this new data structure (struct btrfs_drop_extents_args).
