<content type='text'>
commit 9722b10148504c4153a74a9c89725af271e490fc upstream.

When doing an incremental send and a file has extents shared with itself
at different file offsets, it's possible for send to emit clone operations
that will fail at the destination because the source range goes beyond the
file's current size. This happens when the file size has increased in the
send snapshot, there is a hole between the shared extents and both shared
extents are at file offsets which are greater the file's size in the
parent snapshot.

Example:

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

  $ xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xf1 0 64K" /mnt/sdb/foobar
  $ btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt/sdb /mnt/sdb/base
  $ btrfs send -f /tmp/1.snap /mnt/sdb/base

  # Create a 320K extent at file offset 512K.
  $ xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xab 512K 64K" /mnt/sdb/foobar
  $ xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xcd 576K 64K" /mnt/sdb/foobar
  $ xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xef 640K 64K" /mnt/sdb/foobar
  $ xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0x64 704K 64K" /mnt/sdb/foobar
  $ xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0x73 768K 64K" /mnt/sdb/foobar

  # Clone part of that 320K extent into a lower file offset (192K).
  # This file offset is greater than the file's size in the parent
  # snapshot (64K). Also the clone range is a bit behind the offset of
  # the 320K extent so that we leave a hole between the shared extents.
  $ xfs_io -c "reflink /mnt/sdb/foobar 448K 192K 192K" /mnt/sdb/foobar

  $ btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt/sdb /mnt/sdb/incr
  $ btrfs send -p /mnt/sdb/base -f /tmp/2.snap /mnt/sdb/incr

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

  $ btrfs receive -f /tmp/1.snap /mnt/sdc
  $ btrfs receive -f /tmp/2.snap /mnt/sdc
  ERROR: failed to clone extents to foobar: Invalid argument

The problem is that after processing the extent at file offset 256K, which
refers to the first 128K of the 320K extent created by the buffered write
operations, we have 'cur_inode_next_write_offset' set to 384K, which
corresponds to the end offset of the partially shared extent (256K + 128K)
and to the current file size in the receiver. Then when we process the
extent at offset 512K, we do extent backreference iteration to figure out
if we can clone the extent from some other inode or from the same inode,
and we consider the extent at offset 256K of the same inode as a valid
source for a clone operation, which is not correct because at that point
the current file size in the receiver is 384K, which corresponds to the
end of last processed extent (at file offset 256K), so using a clone
source range from 256K to 256K + 320K is invalid because that goes past
the current size of the file (384K) - this makes the receiver get an
-EINVAL error when attempting the clone operation.

So fix this by excluding clone sources that have a range that goes beyond
the current file size in the receiver when iterating extent backreferences.

A test case for fstests follows soon.

<title>btrfs: send: remove WARN_ON for readonly mount</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fbd542971aa1e9ec33212afe1d9b4f1106cd85a1</id>
<content type='text'>
We log warning if root::orphan_cleanup_state is not set to
ORPHAN_CLEANUP_DONE in btrfs_ioctl_send(). However if the filesystem is
mounted as readonly we skip the orphan item cleanup during the lookup
and root::orphan_cleanup_state remains at the init state 0 instead of
ORPHAN_CLEANUP_DONE (2). So during send in btrfs_ioctl_send() we hit the
warning as below.

  WARN_ON(send_root-&gt;orphan_cleanup_state != ORPHAN_CLEANUP_DONE);

WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2616 at /Volumes/ws/btrfs-devel/fs/btrfs/send.c:7090 btrfs_ioctl_send+0xb2f/0x18c0 [btrfs]

Reproducer:
  mkfs.btrfs -fq /dev/sdb
  mount /dev/sdb /btrfs
  btrfs subvolume create /btrfs/sv1
  btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /btrfs/sv1 /btrfs/ss1
  umount /btrfs
  mount -o ro /dev/sdb /btrfs
  btrfs send /btrfs/ss1 -f /tmp/f

The warning exists because having orphan inodes could confuse send and
cause it to fail or produce incorrect streams.  The two cases that would
cause such send failures, which are already fixed are:

1) Inodes that were unlinked - these are orphanized and remain with a
   link count of 0. These caused send operations to fail because it
   expected to always find at least one path for an inode. However this
   is no longer a problem since send is now able to deal with such
   inodes since commit 46b2f4590aab ("Btrfs: fix send failure when root
   has deleted files still open") and treats them as having been
   completely removed (the state after an orphan cleanup is performed).

2) Inodes that were in the process of being truncated. These resulted in
   send not knowing about the truncation and potentially issue write
   operations full of zeroes for the range from the new file size to the
   old file size. This is no longer a problem because we no longer
   create orphan items for truncation since commit f7e9e8fc792f ("Btrfs:
   stop creating orphan items for truncate").

As such before these commits, the WARN_ON here provided a clue in case
something went wrong. Instead of being a warning against the
root::orphan_cleanup_state value, it could have been more accurate by
checking if there were actually any orphan items, and then issue a
warning only if any exists, but that would be more expensive to check.
Since orphanized inodes no longer cause problems for send, just remove
the warning.

<title>Btrfs: send, skip backreference walking for extents with many references</title>

<id>urn:sha1:fd0ddbe2509568b00df364156f47561e9f469f15</id>
<content type='text'>
Backreference walking, which is used by send to figure if it can issue
clone operations instead of write operations, can be very slow and use
too much memory when extents have many references. This change simply
skips backreference walking when an extent has more than 64 references,
in which case we fallback to a write operation instead of a clone
operation. This limit is conservative and in practice I observed no
signicant slowdown with up to 100 references and still low memory usage
up to that limit.

This is a temporary workaround until there are speedups in the backref
walking code, and as such it does not attempt to add extra interfaces or
knobs to tweak the threshold.

<id>urn:sha1:11f2069c113e02971b8db6fda62f9b9cd31a030f</id>
<content type='text'>
For send we currently skip clone operations when the source and
destination files are the same. This is so because clone didn't support
this case in its early days, but support for it was added back in May
2013 by commit a96fbc72884fcb ("Btrfs: allow file data clone within a
file"). This change adds support for it.

Example:

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

  $ xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xab -b 64K 0 64K" /mnt/sdd/foobar
  $ xfs_io -c "reflink /mnt/sdd/foobar 0 64K 64K" /mnt/sdd/foobar

  $ btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt/sdd /mnt/sdd/snap

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

  $ btrfs send /mnt/sdd/snap | btrfs receive /mnt/sde

Without this change file foobar at the destination has a single 128Kb
extent:

  $ filefrag -v /mnt/sde/snap/foobar
  Filesystem type is: 9123683e
  File size of /mnt/sde/snap/foobar is 131072 (32 blocks of 4096 bytes)
   ext:     logical_offset:        physical_offset: length:   expected: flags:
     0:        0..      31:          0..        31:     32:             last,unknown_loc,delalloc,eof
  /mnt/sde/snap/foobar: 1 extent found

With this we get a single 64Kb extent that is shared at file offsets 0
and 64K, just like in the source filesystem:

  $ filefrag -v /mnt/sde/snap/foobar
  Filesystem type is: 9123683e
  File size of /mnt/sde/snap/foobar is 131072 (32 blocks of 4096 bytes)
   ext:     logical_offset:        physical_offset: length:   expected: flags:
     0:        0..      15:       3328..      3343:     16:             shared
     1:       16..      31:       3328..      3343:     16:       3344: last,shared,eof
  /mnt/sde/snap/foobar: 2 extents found

GCC throws warning message as below:

‘clone_src_i_size’ may be used uninitialized in this function
[-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
 #define IS_ALIGNED(x, a)  (((x) &amp; ((typeof(x))(a) - 1)) == 0)

fs/btrfs/send.c:5088:6: note: ‘clone_src_i_size’ was declared here

   ^
The clone_src_i_size is only used as call-by-reference
in a call to get_inode_info().

Silence the warning by initializing clone_src_i_size to 0.

Note that the warning is a false positive and reported by older versions
of GCC (eg. 7.x) but not eg 9.x. As there have been numerous people, the
patch is applied. Setting clone_src_i_size to 0 does not otherwise make
sense and would not do any action in case the code changes in the future.

When doing any form of incremental send the parent and the child trees
need to be compared via btrfs_compare_trees. This  can result in long
loop chains without ever relinquishing the CPU. This causes softlockup

<id>urn:sha1:b4f9a1a87a48c255bb90d8a6c3d555a1abb88130</id>
<content type='text'>
When doing an incremental send operation we can fail if we previously did
deduplication operations against a file that exists in both snapshots. In
that case we will fail the send operation with -EIO and print a message
to dmesg/syslog like the following:

  BTRFS error (device sdc): Send: inconsistent snapshot, found updated \
  extent for inode 257 without updated inode item, send root is 258, \
  parent root is 257

This requires that we deduplicate to the same file in both snapshots for
the same amount of times on each snapshot. The issue happens because a
deduplication only updates the iversion of an inode and does not update
any other field of the inode, therefore if we deduplicate the file on
each snapshot for the same amount of time, the inode will have the same
iversion value (stored as the "sequence" field on the inode item) on both
snapshots, therefore it will be seen as unchanged between in the send
snapshot while there are new/updated/deleted extent items when comparing
to the parent snapshot. This makes the send operation return -EIO and
print an error message.

Example reproducer:

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

  # Create our first file. The first half of the file has several 64Kb
  # extents while the second half as a single 512Kb extent.
  $ xfs_io -f -s -c "pwrite -S 0xb8 -b 64K 0 512K" /mnt/foo
  $ xfs_io -c "pwrite -S 0xb8 512K 512K" /mnt/foo

  # Create the base snapshot and the parent send stream from it.
  $ btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt /mnt/mysnap1
  $ btrfs send -f /tmp/1.snap /mnt/mysnap1

  # Create our second file, that has exactly the same data as the first
  # file.
  $ xfs_io -f -c "pwrite -S 0xb8 0 1M" /mnt/bar

  # Create the second snapshot, used for the incremental send, before
  # doing the file deduplication.
  $ btrfs subvolume snapshot -r /mnt /mnt/mysnap2

  # Now before creating the incremental send stream:
  #
  # 1) Deduplicate into a subrange of file foo in snapshot mysnap1. This
  #    will drop several extent items and add a new one, also updating
  #    the inode's iversion (sequence field in inode item) by 1, but not
  #    any other field of the inode;
  #
  # 2) Deduplicate into a different subrange of file foo in snapshot
  #    mysnap2. This will replace an extent item with a new one, also
  #    updating the inode's iversion by 1 but not any other field of the
  #    inode.
  #
  # After these two deduplication operations, the inode items, for file
  # foo, are identical in both snapshots, but we have different extent
  # items for this inode in both snapshots. We want to check this doesn't
  # cause send to fail with an error or produce an incorrect stream.

  $ xfs_io -r -c "dedupe /mnt/bar 0 0 512K" /mnt/mysnap1/foo
  $ xfs_io -r -c "dedupe /mnt/bar 512K 512K 512K" /mnt/mysnap2/foo

  # Create the incremental send stream.
  $ btrfs send -p /mnt/mysnap1 -f /tmp/2.snap /mnt/mysnap2
  ERROR: send ioctl failed with -5: Input/output error

This issue started happening back in 2015 when deduplication was updated
to not update the inode's ctime and mtime and update only the iversion.
Back then we would hit a BUG_ON() in send, but later in 2016 send was
updated to return -EIO and print the error message instead of doing the
BUG_ON().

A test case for fstests follows soon.

Send always operates on read-only trees and always expected that while it
is in progress, nothing changes in those trees. Due to that expectation
and the fact that send is a read-only operation, it operates on commit
roots and does not hold transaction handles. However relocation can COW
nodes and leafs from read-only trees, which can cause unexpected failures
and crashes (hitting BUG_ONs). while send using a node/leaf, it gets
COWed, the transaction used to COW it is committed, a new transaction
starts, the extent previously used for that node/leaf gets allocated,
possibly for another tree, and the respective extent buffer' content
changes while send is still using it. When this happens send normally
fails with EIO being returned to user space and messages like the
following are found in dmesg/syslog:

  [ 3408.699121] BTRFS error (device sdc): parent transid verify failed on 58703872 wanted 250 found 253
  [ 3441.523123] BTRFS error (device sdc): did not find backref in send_root. inode=63211, offset=0, disk_byte=5222825984 found extent=5222825984

Other times, less often, we hit a BUG_ON() because an extent buffer that
send is using used to be a node, and while send is still using it, it
got COWed and got reused as a leaf while send is still using, producing
the following trace:

Another possibility, much less likely to happen, is that send will not
fail but the contents of the stream it produces may not be correct.

To avoid this, do not allow send and relocation (balance) to run in
parallel. In the long term the goal is to allow for both to be able to
run concurrently without any problems, but that will take a significant
effort in development and testing.
