From a6496849671a5bc9218ecec25a983253b34351b1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Boris Burkov Date: Fri, 21 Jul 2023 09:02:07 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: fix start transaction qgroup rsv double free btrfs_start_transaction reserves metadata space of the PERTRANS type before it identifies a transaction to start/join. This allows flushing when reserving that space without a deadlock. However, it results in a race which temporarily breaks qgroup rsv accounting. T1 T2 start_transaction do_stuff start_transaction qgroup_reserve_meta_pertrans commit_transaction qgroup_free_meta_all_pertrans hit an error starting txn goto reserve_fail qgroup_free_meta_pertrans (already freed!) The basic issue is that there is nothing preventing another commit from committing before start_transaction finishes (in fact sometimes we intentionally wait for it) so any error path that frees the reserve is at risk of this race. While this exact space was getting freed anyway, and it's not a huge deal to double free it (just a warning, the free code catches this), it can result in incorrectly freeing some other pertrans reservation in this same reservation, which could then lead to spuriously granting reservations we might not have the space for. Therefore, I do believe it is worth fixing. To fix it, use the existing prealloc->pertrans conversion mechanism. When we first reserve the space, we reserve prealloc space and only when we are sure we have a transaction do we convert it to pertrans. This way any racing commits do not blow away our reservation, but we still get a pertrans reservation that is freed when _this_ transaction gets committed. This issue can be reproduced by running generic/269 with either qgroups or squotas enabled via mkfs on the scratch device.
