This turned out to be because support for the rename exchange and whiteout operations was added to fsstress in fstests. These operations, unlike any others in fsstress, cause file names to be reused, whence triggering this issue. However it's not necessary to use rename exchange and rename whiteout operations trigger this issue, simple rename operations and file creations are enough to trigger the issue. The issue boils down to when we are logging inodes that conflict (that had the name of any inode we need to log during the fsync operation), we keep logging them even if they were already logged before, and after that we check if there's any other inode that conflicts with them and then add it again to the list of inodes to log. Skipping already logged inodes fixes the issue. Consider the following example: $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt $ mkdir /mnt/testdir # inode 257 $ touch /mnt/testdir/zz # inode 258 $ ln /mnt/testdir/zz /mnt/testdir/zz_link $ touch /mnt/testdir/a # inode 259 $ sync # The following 3 renames achieve the same result as a rename exchange # operation ( /mnt/testdir/zz_link to /mnt/testdir/a). $ mv /mnt/testdir/a /mnt/testdir/a/tmp $ mv /mnt/testdir/zz_link /mnt/testdir/a $ mv /mnt/testdir/a/tmp /mnt/testdir/zz_link # The following rename and file creation give the same result as a # rename whiteout operation ( zz to a2). $ mv /mnt/testdir/zz /mnt/testdir/a2 $ touch /mnt/testdir/zz # inode 260 $ xfs_io -c fsync /mnt/testdir/zz --> results in the infinite loop The following steps happen: 1) When logging inode 260, we find that its reference named "zz" was used by inode 258 in the previous transaction (through the commit root), so inode 258 is added to the list of conflicting indoes that need to be logged; 2) After logging inode 258, we find that its reference named "a" was used by inode 259 in the previous transaction, and therefore we add inode 259 to the list of conflicting inodes to be logged; 3) After logging inode 259, we find that its reference named "zz_link" was used by inode 258 in the previous transaction - we add inode 258 to the list of conflicting inodes to log, again - we had already logged it before at step 3. After logging it again, we find again that inode 259 conflicts with him, and we add again 259 to the list, etc - we end up repeating all the previous steps. So fix this by skipping logging of conflicting inodes that were already logged.
