btrfs: don't start transaction for scrub if the fs is mounted read-only
commit
2d192fc4c1abeb0d04d1c8cd54405ff4a0b0255b upstream.
[BUG]
The following super simple script would crash btrfs at unmount time, if
CONFIG_BTRFS_ASSERT() is set.
mkfs.btrfs -f $dev
mount $dev $mnt
xfs_io -f -c "pwrite 0 4k" $mnt/file
umount $mnt
mount -r ro $dev $mnt
btrfs scrub start -Br $mnt
umount $mnt
This will trigger the following ASSERT() introduced by commit
0a31daa4b602 ("btrfs: add assertion for empty list of transactions at
late stage of umount").
That patch is definitely not the cause, it just makes enough noise for
developers.
[CAUSE]
We will start transaction for the following call chain during scrub:
scrub_enumerate_chunks()
|- btrfs_inc_block_group_ro()
|- btrfs_join_transaction()
However for RO mount, there is no running transaction at all, thus
btrfs_join_transaction() will start a new transaction.
Furthermore, since it's read-only mount, btrfs_sync_fs() will not call
btrfs_commit_super() to commit the new but empty transaction.
And leads to the ASSERT().
The bug has been there for a long time. Only the new ASSERT() makes it
noisy enough to be noticed.
[FIX]
For read-only scrub on read-only mount, there is no need to start a
transaction nor to allocate new chunks in btrfs_inc_block_group_ro().
Just do extra read-only mount check in btrfs_inc_block_group_ro(), and
if it's read-only, skip all chunk allocation and go inc_block_group_ro()
directly.
