btrfs: check delayed refs when we're checking if a ref exists
In the patch 78c52d9eb6b7 ("btrfs: check for refs on snapshot delete resume") I added some code to handle file systems that had been corrupted by a bug that incorrectly skipped updating the drop progress key while dropping a snapshot. This code would check to see if we had already deleted our reference for a child block, and skip the deletion if we had already. Unfortunately there is a bug, as the check would only check the on-disk references. I made an incorrect assumption that blocks in an already deleted snapshot that was having the deletion resume on mount wouldn't be modified. If we have 2 pending deleted snapshots that share blocks, we can easily modify the rules for a block. Take the following example subvolume a exists, and subvolume b is a snapshot of subvolume a. They share references to block 1. Block 1 will have 2 full references, one for subvolume a and one for subvolume b, and it belongs to subvolume a (btrfs_header_owner(block 1) == subvolume a). When deleting subvolume a, we will drop our full reference for block 1, and because we are the owner we will drop our full reference for all of block 1's children, convert block 1 to FULL BACKREF, and add a shared reference to all of block 1's children. Then we will start the snapshot deletion of subvolume b. We look up the extent info for block 1, which checks delayed refs and tells us that FULL BACKREF is set, so sets parent to the bytenr of block 1. However because this is a resumed snapshot deletion, we call into check_ref_exists(). Because check_ref_exists() only looks at the disk, it doesn't find the shared backref for the child of block 1, and thus returns 0 and we skip deleting the reference for the child of block 1 and continue. This orphans the child of block 1. The fix is to lookup the delayed refs, similar to what we do in btrfs_lookup_extent_info(). However we only care about whether the reference exists or not. If we fail to find our reference on disk, go look up the bytenr in the delayed refs, and if it exists look for an existing ref in the delayed ref head. If that exists then we know we can delete the reference safely and carry on. If it doesn't exist we know we have to skip over this block. This bug has existed since I introduced this fix, however requires having multiple deleted snapshots pending when we unmount. We noticed this in production because our shutdown path stops the container on the system, which deletes a bunch of subvolumes, and then reboots the box. This gives us plenty of opportunities to hit this issue. Looking at the history we've seen this occasionally in production, but we had a big spike recently thanks to faster machines getting jobs with multiple subvolumes in the job. Chris Mason wrote a reproducer which does the following mount /dev/nvme4n1 /btrfs btrfs subvol create /btrfs/s1 simoop -E -f 4k -n 200000 -z /btrfs/s1 while(true) ; do btrfs subvol snap /btrfs/s1 /btrfs/s2 simoop -f 4k -n 200000 -r 10 -z /btrfs/s2 btrfs subvol snap /btrfs/s2 /btrfs/s3 btrfs balance start -dusage=80 /btrfs btrfs subvol del /btrfs/s2 /btrfs/s3 umount /btrfs btrfsck /dev/nvme4n1 || exit 1 mount /dev/nvme4n1 /btrfs done On the second loop this would fail consistently, with my patch it has been running for hours and hasn't failed. I also used dm-log-writes to capture the state of the failure so I could debug the problem. Using the existing failure case to test my patch validated that it fixes the problem.
