commit 22d3151c2c4cb517a309154d1e828a28106508c7 upstream.

When doing an incremental send, if we have a file in the parent snapshot
that has prealloc extents beyond EOF and in the send snapshot it got a
hole punch that partially covers the prealloc extents, the send stream,
when replayed by a receiver, can result in a file that has a size bigger
than it should and filled with zeroes past the correct EOF.

For example:

  $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb
  $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt

  $ xfs_io -f -c "falloc -k 0 4M" /mnt/foobar
  $ xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xea 0 1M" /mnt/foobar

  $ btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt /mnt/snap1
  $ btrfs send -f /tmp/1.send /mnt/snap1

  $ xfs_io -c "fpunch 1M 2M" /mnt/foobar

  $ btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt /mnt/snap2
  $ btrfs send -f /tmp/2.send -p /mnt/snap1 /mnt/snap2

  $ stat --format %s /mnt/snap2/foobar
  1048576
  $ md5sum /mnt/snap2/foobar
  d31659e82e87798acd4669a1e0a19d4f  /mnt/snap2/foobar

  $ umount /mnt
  $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdc
  $ mount /dev/sdc /mnt

  $ btrfs receive -f /mnt/1.snap /mnt
  $ btrfs receive -f /mnt/2.snap /mnt

  $ stat --format %s /mnt/snap2/foobar
  3145728
  # --&gt; should be 1Mb and not 3Mb (which was the end offset of hole
  #     punch operation)
  $ md5sum /mnt/snap2/foobar
  117baf295297c2a995f92da725b0b651  /mnt/snap2/foobar
  # --&gt; should be d31659e82e87798acd4669a1e0a19d4f as in the original fs

This issue actually happens only since commit ffa7c4296e93 ("Btrfs: send,
do not issue unnecessary truncate operations"), but before that commit we
were issuing a write operation full of zeroes (to "punch" a hole) which
was extending the file size beyond the correct value and then immediately
issue a truncate operation to the correct size and undoing the previous
write operation. Since the send protocol does not support fallocate, for
extent preallocation and hole punching, fix this by not even attempting
to send a "hole" (regular write full of zeroes) if it starts at an offset
greater then or equals to the file's size. This approach, besides being
much more simple then making send issue the truncate operation, adds the
benefit of avoiding the useless pair of write of zeroes and truncate
operations, saving time and IO at the receiver and reducing the size of
the send stream.

A test case for fstests follows soon.

commit 46b2f4590aab71d31088a265c86026b1e96c9de4 upstream.

The more common use case of send involves creating a RO snapshot and then
use it for a send operation. In this case it's not possible to have inodes
in the snapshot that have a link count of zero (inode with an orphan item)
since during snapshot creation we do the orphan cleanup. However, other
less common use cases for send can end up seeing inodes with a link count
of zero and in this case the send operation fails with a ENOENT error
because any attempt to generate a path for the inode, with the purpose
of creating it or updating it at the receiver, fails since there are no
inode reference items. One use case it to use a regular subvolume for
a send operation after turning it to RO mode or turning a RW snapshot
into RO mode and then using it for a send operation. In both cases, if a
file gets all its hard links deleted while there is an open file
descriptor before turning the subvolume/snapshot into RO mode, the send
operation will encounter an inode with a link count of zero and then
fail with errno ENOENT.

Example using a full send with a subvolume:

  $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb
  $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt

  $ btrfs subvolume create /mnt/sv1
  $ touch /mnt/sv1/foo
  $ touch /mnt/sv1/bar

  # keep an open file descriptor on file bar
  $ exec 73&lt;/mnt/sv1/bar
  $ unlink /mnt/sv1/bar

  # Turn the subvolume to RO mode and use it for a full send, while
  # holding the open file descriptor.
  $ btrfs property set /mnt/sv1 ro true

  $ btrfs send -f /tmp/full.send /mnt/sv1
  At subvol /mnt/sv1
  ERROR: send ioctl failed with -2: No such file or directory

Example using an incremental send with snapshots:

  $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb
  $ mount /dev/sdb /mnt

  $ btrfs subvolume create /mnt/sv1
  $ touch /mnt/sv1/foo
  $ touch /mnt/sv1/bar

  $ btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt/sv1 /mnt/snap1

  $ echo "hello world" &gt;&gt; /mnt/sv1/bar

  $ btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt/sv1 /mnt/snap2

  # Turn the second snapshot to RW mode and delete file foo while
  # holding an open file descriptor on it.
  $ btrfs property set /mnt/snap2 ro false
  $ exec 73&lt;/mnt/snap2/foo
  $ unlink /mnt/snap2/foo

  # Set the second snapshot back to RO mode and do an incremental send.
  $ btrfs property set /mnt/snap2 ro true

  $ btrfs send -f /tmp/inc.send -p /mnt/snap1 /mnt/snap2
  At subvol /mnt/snap2
  ERROR: send ioctl failed with -2: No such file or directory

So fix this by ignoring inodes with a link count of zero if we are either
doing a full send or if they do not exist in the parent snapshot (they
are new in the send snapshot), and unlink all paths found in the parent
snapshot when doing an incremental send (and ignoring all other inode
items, such as xattrs and extents).

A test case for fstests follows soon.

Currently when checking if a directory can be deleted, we always check
if all its children have been processed.

Example: A directory with 2,000,000 files was deleted

original: 1994m57.071s
patch:       1m38.554s

[FIX]
Instead of checking all children on all calls to can_rmdir(), we keep
track of the directory index offset of the child last checked in the
last call to can_rmdir(), and then use it as the starting point for
future calls to can_rmdir().

<title>Btrfs: send, fix missing truncate for inode with prealloc extent past eof</title>

<id>urn:sha1:a6aa10c70bf72fb28504cb5de5deac75da78b0f5</id>
<content type='text'>
An incremental send operation can miss a truncate operation when an inode
has an increased size in the send snapshot and a prealloc extent beyond
its size.

Consider the following scenario where a necessary truncate operation is
missing in the incremental send stream:

1) In the parent snapshot an inode has a size of 1282957 bytes and it has
   no prealloc extents beyond its size;

2) In the the send snapshot it has a size of 5738496 bytes and has a new
   extent at offsets 1884160 (length of 106496 bytes) and a prealloc
   extent beyond eof at offset 6729728 (and a length of 339968 bytes);

3) When processing the prealloc extent, at offset 6729728, we end up at
   send.c:send_write_or_clone() and set the @len variable to a value of
   18446744073708560384 because @offset plus the original @len value is
   larger then the inode's size (6729728 + 339968 &gt; 5738496). We then
   call send_extent_data(), with that @offset and @len, which in turn
   calls send_write(), and then the later calls fill_read_buf(). Because
   the offset passed to fill_read_buf() is greater then inode's i_size,
   this function returns 0 immediately, which makes send_write() and
   send_extent_data() do nothing and return immediately as well. When
   we get back to send.c:send_write_or_clone() we adjust the value
   of sctx-&gt;cur_inode_next_write_offset to @offset plus @len, which
   corresponds to 6729728 + 18446744073708560384 = 5738496, which is
   precisely the the size of the inode in the send snapshot;

4) Later when at send.c:finish_inode_if_needed() we determine that
   we don't need to issue a truncate operation because the value of
   sctx-&gt;cur_inode_next_write_offset corresponds to the inode's new
   size, 5738496 bytes. This is wrong because the last write operation
   that was issued started at offset 1884160 with a length of 106496
   bytes, so the correct value for sctx-&gt;cur_inode_next_write_offset
   should be 1990656 (1884160 + 106496), so that a truncate operation
   with a value of 5738496 bytes would have been sent to insert a
   trailing hole at the destination.

So fix the issue by making send.c:send_write_or_clone() not attempt
to send write or clone operations for extents that start beyond the
inode's size, since such attempts do nothing but waste time by
calling helper functions and allocating path structures, and send
currently has no fallocate command in order to create prealloc extents
at the destination (either beyond a file's eof or not).

The issue was found running the test btrfs/007 from fstests using a seed
value of 1524346151 for fsstress.

<id>urn:sha1:ffa7c4296e93b25fc302c209ae488e57aad4c973</id>
<content type='text'>
When send finishes processing an inode representing a regular file, it
always issues a truncate operation for that file, even if its size did
not change or the last write sets the file size correctly. In the most
common cases, the issued write operations set the file to correct size
(either full or incremental sends) or the file size did not change (for
incremental sends), so the only case where a truncate operation is needed
is when a file size becomes smaller in the send snapshot when compared
to the parent snapshot.

By not issuing unnecessary truncate operations we reduce the stream size
and save time in the receiver. Currently truncating a file to the same
size triggers writeback of its last page (if it's dirty) and waits for it
to complete (only if the file size is not aligned with the filesystem's
sector size). This is being fixed by another patch and is independent of
this change (that patch's title is "Btrfs: skip writeback of last page
when truncating file to same size").

The following script was used to measure time spent by a receiver without
this change applied, with this change applied, and without this change and
with the truncate fix applied (the fix to not make it start and wait for
writeback to complete).

  $ cat test_send.sh
  #!/bin/bash

  SRC_DEV=/dev/sdc
  DST_DEV=/dev/sdd
  SRC_MNT=/mnt/sdc
  DST_MNT=/mnt/sdd

  mkfs.btrfs -f $SRC_DEV &gt;/dev/null
  mkfs.btrfs -f $DST_DEV &gt;/dev/null
  mount $SRC_DEV $SRC_MNT
  mount $DST_DEV $DST_MNT

  echo "Creating source filesystem"
  for ((t = 0; t &lt; 10; t++)); do
      (
          for ((i = 1; i &lt;= 20000; i++)); do
              xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xab 0 5000" \
                  $SRC_MNT/file_$i &gt; /dev/null
          done
      ) &amp;
     worker_pids[$t]=$!
  done
  wait ${worker_pids[@]}

  echo "Creating and sending snapshot"
  btrfs subvolume snapshot -r $SRC_MNT $SRC_MNT/snap1 &gt;/dev/null
  /usr/bin/time -f "send took %e seconds"    \
         btrfs send -f $SRC_MNT/send_file $SRC_MNT/snap1
  /usr/bin/time -f "receive took %e seconds" \
         btrfs receive -f $SRC_MNT/send_file $DST_MNT

  umount $SRC_MNT
  umount $DST_MNT

The results, which are averages for 5 runs for each case, were the
following:

* Without this change

average receive time was 26.49 seconds
standard deviation of 2.53 seconds

* Without this change and with the truncate fix

average receive time was 12.51 seconds
standard deviation of 0.32 seconds

* With this change and without the truncate fix

average receive time was 10.02 seconds
standard deviation of 1.11 seconds

The __cold functions are placed to a special section, as they're
expected to be called rarely. This could help i-cache prefetches or help
compiler to decide which branches are more/less likely to be taken
without any other annotations needed.

Though we can't add more __exit annotations, it's still possible to add
__cold (that's also added with __exit). That way the following function
categories are tagged:

- printf wrappers, error messages
- exit helpers
