Btrfs: fix unprotected list move from unused_bgs to deleted_bgs list
As of my previous change titled "Btrfs: fix scrub preventing unused block groups from being deleted", the following warning at extent-tree.c:btrfs_delete_unused_bgs() can be hit when we mount the a filesysten with "-o discard": 10263 void btrfs_delete_unused_bgs(struct btrfs_fs_info *fs_info) 10264 { (...) 10405 if (trimming) { 10406 WARN_ON(!list_empty(&block_group->bg_list)); 10407 spin_lock(&trans->transaction->deleted_bgs_lock); 10408 list_move(&block_group->bg_list, 10409 &trans->transaction->deleted_bgs); 10410 spin_unlock(&trans->transaction->deleted_bgs_lock); 10411 btrfs_get_block_group(block_group); 10412 } (...) This happens because scrub can now add back the block group to the list of unused block groups (fs_info->unused_bgs). This is dangerous because we are moving the block group from the unused block groups list to the list of deleted block groups without holding the lock that protects the source list (fs_info->unused_bgs_lock). The following diagram illustrates how this happens: CPU 1 CPU 2 cleaner_kthread() btrfs_delete_unused_bgs() sees bg X in list fs_info->unused_bgs deletes bg X from list fs_info->unused_bgs scrub_enumerate_chunks() searches device tree using its commit root finds device extent for block group X gets block group X from the tree fs_info->block_group_cache_tree (via btrfs_lookup_block_group()) sets bg X to RO (again) scrub_chunk(bg X) sets bg X back to RW mode adds bg X to the list fs_info->unused_bgs again, since it's still unused and currently not in that list sets bg X to RO mode btrfs_remove_chunk(bg X) --> discard is enabled and bg X is in the fs_info->unused_bgs list again so the warning is triggered --> we move it from that list into the transaction's delete_bgs list, but we can have another task currently manipulating the first list (fs_info->unused_bgs) Fix this by using the same lock (fs_info->unused_bgs_lock) to protect both the list of unused block groups and the list of deleted block groups. This makes it safe and there's not much worry for more lock contention, as this lock is seldom used and only the cleaner kthread adds elements to the list of deleted block groups. The warning goes away too, as this was previously an impossible case (and would have been better a BUG_ON/ASSERT) but it's not impossible anymore. Reproduced with fstest btrfs/073 (using MOUNT_OPTIONS="-o discard"). Signed-off-by: Filipe Manana <fdmanana@suse.com>
