2026-06-09btrfs: simplify how first hit is passed to __btrfs_abort_transaction()David Sterba
Optimize the btrfs_abort_transaction() for size as it (by our convention) must be put right after the error condition is detected. The exact file:line is reported so there's a portion that must be inlined. As this is cold code it bloats functions. In previous patch "btrfs: move transaction abort message to __btrfs_abort_transaction()" the error message was moved to the common helper, saving like 20KiB of btrfs.ko and several instructions per call site and some stack space. There's little left to be optimized, we need to keep the atomic test_and_set_bit() and to convey that as 'first hit' to __btrfs_abort_transaction(). Right now it's a bool, which takes 8 bytes on stack for each call but it's 1 bit of information. We can encode that to some of the other parameters. For that let's use the 'error' parameter, by convention it's negative errno so we can reliably detect if it's the first hit or a later error. Also the negation is usually implemented by a single instruction (NEG on x86_64) so the resulting object code is kept short. This reduces btrfs.ko by 8K and stack in several functions by 8 bytes. Cumulative effect with the other commit is -30K of btrfs.ko. While the encoding is an implementation detail, it's contained within the API. Making the transaction abort calls very light is desired.

2026-06-08btrfs: tracepoints: trace transaction states during commit phaseFilipe Manana
Currently the trace event is fired only when a transaction is fully complete (its state is TRANS_STATE_COMPLETED). However during a transaction commit we go through several states and as soon as the state reaches TRANS_STATE_UNBLOCKED, another transaction can start. Therefore it's useful to track every transaction state changed during the commit of a transaction, so that we can see if a new transaction is started before the current one is completed. Add the transaction state to the transaction commit event and call the event everytime we change the transaction state during commit.

2026-06-08btrfs: tracepoints: pass a transaction handle to transaction commit eventFilipe Manana
The transaction commit tracepoint prints fs_info->generation as if it were the ID of the committed transaction but this does not always match that ID. This is because the trace point is called in the transaction commit path after the transaction is in the TRANS_STATE_COMPLETED state, which means another transaction may have already started (which can happen as soon as the transaction state was set to TRANS_STATE_UNBLOCKED), in which case fs_info->generation was incremented and does not correspond to the committed transaction anymore. So fix this by passing a transaction handle to the trace event instead of fs_info. This will also allow later for the trace event to dump other useful information about the transaction.

2026-06-08btrfs: move transaction abort message to __btrfs_abort_transaction()David Sterba
The btrfs_abort_transaction() is called at the location where we want to report the abort. It must be a macro so we get the correct line and stack trace. This inlines the necessary code and the rest is pushed to __btrfs_abort_transaction(). There's a possibility to reduce the inlined code if we move the message to the helper function as well, without loss of information. The difference is only that the WARN will not print it inside the stack report but after: --[ cut here ]-- WARNING: fs/btrfs/transaction.c:2045 at btrfs_commit_transaction+0xa21/0xd30 [btrfs], CPU#11: bonnie++/3377975 ... --[ end trace ] -- BTRFS error (device dm-0 state A): Transaction aborted (error -28) While previously there would be one more line like: --[ cut here ]-- BTRFS: Transaction aborted (error -28) WARNING: fs/btrfs/transaction.c:2045 at btrfs_commit_transaction+0xa21/0xd30 [btrfs], CPU#11: bonnie++/3377975 ... --[ end trace ] -- This removes about 20KiB of btrfs.ko on a release config.

After that we call btrfs_extent_io_tree_release() to free all extent states from dirty_pages io tree. However if we hit an error from btrfs_write_marked_extent(), then we still call btrfs_extent_io_tree_release() to clear that dirty_pages io tree, which may contain dirty records that we haven't yet submitted. Furthermore, the later transaction cleanup path will utilize that dirty_pages io tree to properly cleanup those dirty ebs, but since it's already empty, no dirty ebs are properly cleaned up, thus will later trigger the warnings inside invalidate_btree_folios(). [FIX] Normally such dirty ebs won't cause problems, as when the iput() is called on the btree inode, the dirty ebs will be forcibly written back, and since the fs is already in an error status, such writeback will not reach disk and finish immediately. But it's still better to get rid of such dirty ebs, if we ended up with dirty ebs but the fs is not in an error status, then such writeback at iput() time will be too late, as all workers are already stopped but writeback will utilize workers, which will lead to NULL pointer dereferences. Instead of unconditionally calling btrfs_extent_io_tree_release(), only call it if btrfs_write_and_wait_transaction() finished successfully, so that @dirty_pages extent io tree is kept untouched for transaction cleanup.

2026-04-07btrfs: inhibit extent buffer writeback to prevent COW amplificationLeo Martins
Inhibit writeback on COW'd extent buffers for the lifetime of the transaction handle, preventing background writeback from setting BTRFS_HEADER_FLAG_WRITTEN and causing unnecessary re-COW. COW amplification occurs when background writeback flushes an extent buffer that a transaction handle is still actively modifying. When lock_extent_buffer_for_io() transitions a buffer from dirty to writeback, it sets BTRFS_HEADER_FLAG_WRITTEN, marking the block as having been persisted to disk at its current bytenr. Once WRITTEN is set, should_cow_block() must either COW the block again or overwrite it in place, both of which are unnecessary overhead when the buffer is still being modified by the same handle that allocated it. By inhibiting background writeback on actively-used buffers, WRITTEN is never set while a transaction handle holds a reference to the buffer, avoiding this overhead entirely. Add an atomic_t writeback_inhibitors counter to struct extent_buffer, which fits in an existing 6-byte hole without increasing struct size. When a buffer is COW'd in btrfs_force_cow_block(), call btrfs_inhibit_eb_writeback() to store the eb in the transaction handle's writeback_inhibited_ebs xarray (keyed by eb->start), take a reference, and increment writeback_inhibitors. The function handles dedup (same eb inhibited twice by the same handle) and replacement (different eb at the same logical address). Allocation failure is graceful: the buffer simply falls back to the pre-existing behavior where it may be written back and re-COW'd. Also inhibit writeback in should_cow_block() when COW is skipped, so that every transaction handle that reuses an already-COW'd buffer also inhibits its writeback. Without this, if handle A COWs a block and inhibits it, and handle B later reuses the same block without inhibiting, handle A's uninhibit on end_transaction leaves the buffer unprotected while handle B is still using it. This ensures all handles that access a COW'd buffer contribute to the inhibitor count, and the buffer remains protected until the last handle releases it. In lock_extent_buffer_for_io(), when writeback_inhibitors is non-zero and the writeback mode is WB_SYNC_NONE, skip the buffer. WB_SYNC_NONE is used by the VM flusher threads for background and periodic writeback, which are the only paths that cause COW amplification by opportunistically writing out dirty extent buffers mid-transaction. Skipping these is safe because the buffers remain dirty in the page cache and will be written out at transaction commit time. WB_SYNC_ALL must always proceed regardless of writeback_inhibitors. This is required for correctness in the fsync path: btrfs_sync_log() writes log tree blocks via filemap_fdatawrite_range() (WB_SYNC_ALL) while the transaction handle that inhibited those same blocks is still active. Without the WB_SYNC_ALL bypass, those inhibited log tree blocks would be silently skipped, resulting in an incomplete log on disk and corruption on replay. btrfs_write_and_wait_transaction() also uses WB_SYNC_ALL via filemap_fdatawrite_range(); for that path, inhibitors are already cleared beforehand, but the bypass ensures correctness regardless. Uninhibit in __btrfs_end_transaction() before atomic_dec(num_writers) to prevent a race where the committer proceeds while buffers are still inhibited. Also uninhibit in btrfs_commit_transaction() before writing and in cleanup_transaction() for the error path.

We never return -EEXIST from btrfs_uuid_tree_add(), if the item already exists we extend it, so it's pointless to check for such return value. Furthermore, in create_pending_snapshot(), the logic is completely broken. The goal was to not error out and abort the transaction in case of -EEXIST but we left 'ret' with the -EEXIST value, so we end up setting pending->error to -EEXIST and return that error up the call chain up to btrfs_commit_transaction(), which will abort the transaction.

There's no need to COW the root node of the subvolume we are snapshotting because we then call btrfs_copy_root(), which creates a copy of the root node and sets its generation to the current transaction. So remove this redundant COW right before calling btrfs_copy_root(), saving one extent allocation, memory allocation, copying things, etc, and making the code less confusing.

2026-04-07btrfs: zoned: cap delayed refs metadata reservation to avoid overcommitJohannes Thumshirn
On zoned filesystems metadata space accounting can become overly optimistic due to delayed refs reservations growing without a hard upper bound. The delayed_refs_rsv block reservation is allowed to speculatively grow and is only backed by actual metadata space when refilled. On zoned devices this can result in delayed_refs_rsv reserving a large portion of metadata space that is already effectively unusable due to zone write pointer constraints. As a result, space_info->may_use can grow far beyond the usable metadata capacity, causing the allocator to believe space is available when it is not. This leads to premature ENOSPC failures and "cannot satisfy tickets" reports even though commits would be able to make progress by flushing delayed refs. Analysis of "-o enospc_debug" dumps using a Python debug script confirmed that delayed_refs_rsv was responsible for the majority of metadata overcommit on zoned devices. By correlating space_info counters (total, used, may_use, zone_unusable) across transactions, the analysis showed that may_use continued to grow even after usable metadata space was exhausted, with delayed refs refills accounting for the excess reservations. Here's the output of the analysis: ====================================================================== Space Type: METADATA ====================================================================== Raw Values: Total: 256.00 MB (268435456 bytes) Used: 128.00 KB (131072 bytes) Pinned: 16.00 KB (16384 bytes) Reserved: 144.00 KB (147456 bytes) May Use: 255.48 MB (267894784 bytes) Zone Unusable: 192.00 KB (196608 bytes) Calculated Metrics: Actually Usable: 255.81 MB (total - zone_unusable) Committed: 255.77 MB (used + pinned + reserved + may_use) Consumed: 320.00 KB (used + zone_unusable) Percentages: Zone Unusable: 0.07% of total May Use: 99.80% of total Fix this by adding a zoned-specific cap in btrfs_delayed_refs_rsv_refill(): Before reserving additional metadata bytes, limit the delayed refs reservation based on the usable metadata space (total bytes minus zone_unusable). If the reservation would exceed this cap, return -EAGAIN to trigger the existing flush/commit logic instead of overcommitting metadata space. This preserves the existing reservation and flushing semantics while preventing metadata overcommit on zoned devices. The change is limited to metadata space and does not affect non-zoned filesystems. This patch addresses premature metadata ENOSPC conditions on zoned devices and ensures delayed refs are throttled before exhausting usable metadata.

2026-03-03btrfs: fix transaction abort when snapshotting received subvolumesFilipe Manana
Currently a user can trigger a transaction abort by snapshotting a previously received snapshot a bunch of times until we reach a BTRFS_UUID_KEY_RECEIVED_SUBVOL item overflow (the maximum item size we can store in a leaf). This is very likely not common in practice, but if it happens, it turns the filesystem into RO mode. The snapshot, send and set_received_subvol and subvol_setflags (used by receive) don't require CAP_SYS_ADMIN, just inode_owner_or_capable(). A malicious user could use this to turn a filesystem into RO mode and disrupt a system.

This is OK because it's not critical and we are still able to delete the snapshot, as snapshot/subvolume deletion ignores if a BTRFS_UUID_KEY_RECEIVED_SUBVOL is missing (see inode.c:btrfs_delete_subvolume()). As for send/receive, we can still do send/receive operations since it always peeks the first root ID in the existing BTRFS_UUID_KEY_RECEIVED_SUBVOL (it could peek any since all snapshots have the same content), and even if the key is missing, it falls back to searching by BTRFS_UUID_KEY_SUBVOL key. A test case for fstests will be sent soon.

2026-02-21treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar typesKees Cook
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union object instances: Single allocations: kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...) Array allocations: kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...) Flex array allocations: kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...) are replaced with: kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...) (where TYPE may also be *VAR) The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning "TYPE *". Signed-off-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org>
2026-02-18btrfs: use the correct type to initialize block reserve for delayed refsFilipe Manana
When initializing the delayed refs block reserve for a transaction handle we are passing a type of BTRFS_BLOCK_RSV_DELOPS, which is meant for delayed items and not for delayed refs. The correct type for delayed refs is BTRFS_BLOCK_RSV_DELREFS. On release of any excess space reserved in a local delayed refs reserve, we also should transfer that excess space to the global block reserve (it it's full, we return to the space info for general availability). By initializing a transaction's local delayed refs block reserve with a type of BTRFS_BLOCK_RSV_DELOPS, we were also causing any excess space released from the delayed block reserve (fs_info->delayed_block_rsv, used for delayed inodes and items) to be transferred to the global block reserve instead of the global delayed refs block reserve. This was an unintentional change in commit 28270e25c69a ("btrfs: always reserve space for delayed refs when starting transaction"), but it's not particularly serious as things tend to cancel out each other most of the time and it's relatively rare to be anywhere near exhaustion of the global reserve. Fix this by initializing a transaction's local delayed refs reserve with a type of BTRFS_BLOCK_RSV_DELREFS and making btrfs_block_rsv_release() attempt to transfer unused space from such a reserve into the global block reserve, just as we did before that commit for when the block reserve is a delayed refs rsv.

2026-02-03btrfs: fix block_group_tree dirty_list corruptionBoris Burkov
When the incompat flag EXTENT_TREE_V2 is set, we unconditionally add the block group tree to the switch_commits list before calling switch_commit_roots, as we do for the tree root and the chunk root. However, the block group tree uses normal root dirty tracking and in any transaction that does an allocation and dirties a block group, the block group root will already be linked to a list by the dirty_list field and this use of list_add_tail() is invalid and corrupts the prev/next members of block_group_root->dirty_list. This is apparent on a subsequent list_del on the prev if we enable CONFIG_DEBUG_LIST: [32.1571] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [32.1572] list_del corruption. next->prev should beffff958890202538, but was ffff9588992bd538.

If we encounter a filesystem with the remap-tree incompat flag set, validate its compatibility with the other flags, and load the remap tree using the values that have been added to the superblock. The remap-tree feature depends on the free-space-tree, but no-holes and block-group-tree have been made dependencies to reduce the testing matrix. Similarly I'm not aware of any reason why mixed-bg and zoned would be incompatible with remap-tree, but this is blocked for the time being until it can be fully tested.

Errors are unexpected during the transaction commit path, and when they happen we abort the transaction (by calling cleanup_transaction() under the label 'cleanup_transaction' in btrfs_commit_transaction()). So mark every error check in the transaction commit path as unlikely, to hint the compiler so that it can possibly generate better code, and make it clear for a reader about being unexpected.

2025-12-16btrfs: fix deadlock in wait_current_trans() due to ignored transaction typeRobbie Ko
When wait_current_trans() is called during start_transaction(), it currently waits for a blocked transaction without considering whether the given transaction type actually needs to wait for that particular transaction state. The btrfs_blocked_trans_types[] array already defines which transaction types should wait for which transaction states, but this check was missing in wait_current_trans(). This can lead to a deadlock scenario involving two transactions and pending ordered extents: 1. Transaction A is in TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_DOING state 2. A worker processing an ordered extent calls start_transaction() with TRANS_JOIN 3. join_transaction() returns -EBUSY because Transaction A is in TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_DOING 4. Transaction A moves to TRANS_STATE_UNBLOCKED and completes 5. A new Transaction B is created (TRANS_STATE_RUNNING) 6. The ordered extent from step 2 is added to Transaction B's pending ordered extents 7. Transaction B immediately starts commit by another task and enters TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START 8. The worker finally reaches wait_current_trans(), sees Transaction B in TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START (a blocked state), and waits unconditionally 9. However, TRANS_JOIN should NOT wait for TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START according to btrfs_blocked_trans_types[] 10. Transaction B is waiting for pending ordered extents to complete 11. Deadlock: Transaction B waits for ordered extent, ordered extent waits for Transaction B This can be illustrated by the following call stacks: CPU0 CPU1 btrfs_finish_ordered_io() start_transaction(TRANS_JOIN) join_transaction() # -EBUSY (Transaction A is # TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_DOING) # Transaction A completes # Transaction B created # ordered extent added to # Transaction B's pending list btrfs_commit_transaction() # Transaction B enters # TRANS_STATE_COMMIT_START # waiting for pending ordered # extents wait_current_trans() # waits for Transaction B # (should not wait!)

2025-11-24btrfs: headers cleanup to remove unnecessary local includesQu Wenruo
[BUG] When I tried to remove btrfs_bio::fs_info and use btrfs_bio::inode to grab the fs_info, the header "btrfs_inode.h" is needed to access the full btrfs_inode structure. Then btrfs will fail to compile. [CAUSE] There is a recursive including chain: "bio.h" -> "btrfs_inode.h" -> "extent_map.h" -> "compression.h" -> "bio.h" That recursive including is causing problems for btrfs. [ENHANCEMENT] To reduce the risk of recursive including: - Remove unnecessary local includes from btrfs headers Either the included header is pulled in by other headers, or is completely unnecessary. - Remove btrfs local includes if the header only requires a pointer In that case let the implementing C file to pull the required header. This is especially important for headers like "btrfs_inode.h" which pulls in a lot of other btrfs headers, thus it's a mine field of recursive including. - Remove unnecessary temporary structure definition Either if we have included the header defining the structure, or completely unused. Now including "btrfs_inode.h" inside "bio.h" is completely fine, although "btrfs_inode.h" still includes "extent_map.h", but that header only includes "fs.h", no more chain back to "bio.h".

2025-09-23btrfs: use smp_mb__after_atomic() when forcing COW in create_pending_snapshot()Filipe Manana
After setting the BTRFS_ROOT_FORCE_COW flag on the root we are doing a full write barrier, smp_wmb(), but we don't need to, all we need is a smp_mb__after_atomic(). The use of the smp_wmb() is from the old days when we didn't use a bit and used instead an int field in the root to signal if cow is forced. After the int field was changed to a bit in the root's state (flags field), we forgot to update the memory barrier in create_pending_snapshot() to smp_mb__after_atomic(), but we did the change in commit_fs_roots() after clearing BTRFS_ROOT_FORCE_COW. That happened in commit 27cdeb7096b8 ("Btrfs: use bitfield instead of integer data type for the some variants in btrfs_root"). On the reader side, in should_cow_block(), we also use the counterpart smp_mb__before_atomic() which generates further confusion. So change the smp_wmb() to smp_mb__after_atomic(). In fact we don't even need any barrier at all since create_pending_snapshot() is called in the critical section of a transaction commit and therefore no one can concurrently join/attach the transaction, or start a new one, until the transaction is unblocked. By the time someone starts a new transaction and enters should_cow_block(), a lot of implicit memory barriers already took place by having acquired several locks such as fs_info->trans_lock and extent buffer locks on the root node at least. Nevertlheless, for consistency use smp_mb__after_atomic() after setting the force cow bit in create_pending_snapshot().

2025-09-23btrfs: add unlikely annotations to branches leading to transaction abortDavid Sterba
The unlikely() annotation is a static prediction hint that compiler may use to reorder code out of hot path. We use it elsewhere (namely tree-checker.c) for error branches that almost never happen. Transaction abort is one such error, the btrfs_abort_transaction() inlines code to check the state and print a warning, this ought to be out of the hot path. The most common pattern is when transaction abort is called after checking a return value and the control flow leads to a quick return. In other cases it may not be necessary to add unlikely() e.g. when the function returns anyway or the control flow is not changed noticeably.

2025-07-22btrfs: qgroup: fix qgroup create ioctl returning success after quotas disabledFilipe Manana
When quotas are disabled qgroup ioctls are supposed to return -ENOTCONN, but the qgroup create ioctl stopped doing that when it races with a quota disable operation, returning 0 instead. This change of behaviour happened in commit 6ed05643ddb1 ("btrfs: create qgroup earlier in snapshot creation"). The issue happens as follows: 1) Task A enters btrfs_ioctl_qgroup_create(), qgroups are enabled and so qgroup_enabled() returns true since fs_info->quota_root is not NULL; 2) Task B enters btrfs_ioctl_quota_ctl() -> btrfs_quota_disable() and disables qgroups, so now fs_info->quota_root is NULL; 3) Task A enters btrfs_create_qgroup() and calls btrfs_qgroup_mode(), which returns BTRFS_QGROUP_MODE_DISABLED since quotas are disabled, and then btrfs_create_qgroup() returns 0 to the caller, which makes the ioctl return 0 instead of -ENOTCONN. The check for fs_info->quota_root and returning -ENOTCONN if it's NULL is made only after the call btrfs_qgroup_mode(). Fix this by moving the check for disabled quotas with btrfs_qgroup_mode() into transaction.c:create_pending_snapshot(), so that we don't abort the transaction if btrfs_create_qgroup() returns -ENOTCONN and quotas are disabled.

2025-07-21btrfs: sysfs: track current commit duration in commit_statsBoris Burkov
When debugging/detecting outlier commit stalls, having an indicator that we are currently in a long commit critical section can be very useful. Extend the commit_stats sysfs file to also include the current commit critical section duration. Since this requires storing the last commit start time, use that rather than a separate stack variable for storing the finished commit durations as well. This also requires slightly moving up the timing of the stats updating to *inside* the critical section to avoid the transaction T+1 setting the critical_section_start_time to 0 before transaction T can update its stats, which would trigger the new ASSERT. This is an improvement in and of itself, as it makes the stats more accurately represent the true critical section time. It may be yet better to pull the stats up to where start_transaction gets unblocked, rather than the next commit, but this seems like a good enough place as well.

In the final phase of a transaction commit, when unpinning extents at btrfs_finish_extent_commit(), there's no need to BUG_ON() if we fail to unpin an extent range. All that can happen is that we fail to return the extent range to the in-memory free space cache, meaning no future space allocations can reuse that extent range while the fs is mounted. So instead return the error to the caller and make it abort the transaction, so that the error is noticed and prevent misteriously leaking space. We keep track of the first error we get while unpinning an extent range and keep trying to unpin all the following extent ranges, so that we attempt to do all discards.
