When we have a buffered write that starts at an offset greater than or
equals to the file's size happening concurrently with a full ranged
fiemap, we can end up leaking an extent state structure.
Suppose we have a file with a size of 1Mb, and before the buffered write
and fiemap are performed, it has a single extent state in its io tree
representing the range from 0 to 1Mb, with the EXTENT_DELALLOC bit set.
The following sequence diagram shows how the memory leak happens if a
fiemap a buffered write, starting at offset 1Mb and with a length of
4Kb, are performed concurrently.
CPU 1 CPU 2
extent_fiemap()
--> it's a full ranged fiemap
range from 0 to LLONG_MAX - 1
(
9223372036854775807)
--> locks range in the inode's
io tree
--> after this we have 2 extent
states in the io tree:
--> 1 for range [0, 1Mb[ with
the bits EXTENT_LOCKED and
EXTENT_DELALLOC_BITS set
--> 1 for the range
[1Mb, LLONG_MAX[ with
the EXTENT_LOCKED bit set
--> start buffered write at offset
1Mb with a length of 4Kb
btrfs_file_write_iter()
btrfs_buffered_write()
--> cached_state is NULL
lock_and_cleanup_extent_if_need()
--> returns 0 and does not lock
range because it starts
at current i_size / eof
--> cached_state remains NULL
btrfs_dirty_pages()
btrfs_set_extent_delalloc()
(...)
__set_extent_bit()
--> splits extent state for range
[1Mb, LLONG_MAX[ and now we
have 2 extent states:
--> one for the range
[1Mb, 1Mb + 4Kb[ with
EXTENT_LOCKED set
--> another one for the range
[1Mb + 4Kb, LLONG_MAX[ with
EXTENT_LOCKED set as well
--> sets EXTENT_DELALLOC on the
extent state for the range
[1Mb, 1Mb + 4Kb[
--> caches extent state
[1Mb, 1Mb + 4Kb[ into
@cached_state because it has
the bit EXTENT_LOCKED set
--> btrfs_buffered_write() ends up
with a non-NULL cached_state and
never calls anything to release its
reference on it, resulting in a
memory leak
Fix this by calling free_extent_state() on cached_state if the range was
not locked by lock_and_cleanup_extent_if_need().
The same issue can happen if anything else other than fiemap locks a range
that covers eof and beyond.
This could be triggered, sporadically, by test case generic/561 from the
fstests suite, which makes duperemove run concurrently with fsstress, and
duperemove does plenty of calls to fiemap. When CONFIG_BTRFS_DEBUG is set
the leak is reported in dmesg/syslog when removing the btrfs module with
a message like the following:
[77100.039461] BTRFS: state leak: start 6574080 end 6582271 state 16402 in tree 0 refs 1
Otherwise (CONFIG_BTRFS_DEBUG not set) detectable with kmemleak.
