2026-09-02btrfs: fix the possible bioc_list memory leak during errorQu Wenruo1-0/+3
There are two possible ways to leak bioc memory on btrfs_ordered_extent::bioc_list: - An error occurred for btrfs_insert_one_raid_extent() Then the function btrfs_insert_raid_extent() immediately return without freeing any bioc in the bioc_list. - An ordered extent hit an IO error In that case the ordered extent will have BTRFS_ORDERED_IOERR set, and skip the call on btrfs_insert_raid_extent() completely. Fix the problem by: - Introduce a new helper, btrfs_cleanup_ordered_bioc_list() Which will remove all bioc from the bioc_list, and release the bioc. - Call the above helper for btrfs_insert_raid_extent() So that the cleanup helper is always called no matter what. - Call the above helper for btrfs_finish_one_ordered() This is called just before the final release on the ordered extent. This was reported by Sashiko when reviewing another patch.

The open-coded check for a count below zero as the dead marker relies on information the caller should not have. - make put_mnt_ns() leave mounts connected. Destroying a mount namespace disconnected its mounts from their mount points. So a file descriptor still open on the parent of a mount point could be used to peek under it. Locked mounts were already kept connected to prevent exactly that. But a mount is only locked when its tree is copied across a user namespace boundary. So a mount namespace set up by a privileged component had no locked mounts and its mounts were disconnected. Passing UMOUNT_CONNECTED keeps every mount connected and prevents that bug. - vfs_prepare_mode() passes S_IFDIR for directories. I meant to fix that ago but didn't get to it. So now someone finally did it. This kills the exception where the mode could be 0 when a directory was created whereas every other creation operation passed it explicitly already. - move long delayed work for ufs, jffs2, hfsplus, hfs and affs from the per-cpu system_long_wq to the new unbound system_dfl_long_wq.

2026-08-07btrfs: use %pe for error code outputQu Wenruo1-15/+16
During an interrupted mount, I got the following messages: workqueue: Failed to create a rescuer kthread for wq "btrfs-qgroup-rescan": -EINTR BTRFS error (device dm-3): open_ctree failed: -12 Workqueue code is outputting a human readable error string, meanwhile we're still using a numeric error code. So follow the workqueue code to use "%pe" format, which will automatically convert an error pointer to the human readable string. However this is a minor pitfall, if the return value is not an error code, e.g. a positive number, "%pe" with "ERR_PTR(ret)" will output the pointer as a hash value, e.g.: ret=1 %pe out=0000000019414716 ret=-22 %pe out=-EINVAL So we should not use this "%pe" output for callsites that are known to return positive values.

2026-08-07btrfs: write-protect folios during data writebackBoris Burkov1-6/+17
commit 095be159f3eb ("btrfs: unify folio dirty flag clearing") replaced the folio_clear_dirty_for_io() call in extent_write_cache_pages() with a plain folio_test_dirty() check. Besides clearing the dirty flag, folio_clear_dirty_for_io() also calls folio_mkclean(), which write-protects the shared mmap PTEs mapping the folio. Note that we still do call folio_clear_dirty_for_io() later in submit_one_sector() when we clear dirty on the last sector of the folio (the only sector for non-subpage cases). But we lost this early call in extent_write_cache_pages(). Without the extra write-protection, a process with the file mmap-ed can modify a sector while it is being used by writeback in a way that expects a stable folio (checksumming, compressing, copying, etc...) without faulting, which manifests as a handful of concrete bugs. 1. For large folios or subpage sectorsize, it is possible to submit a bio which does not cover the whole folio. When this happens, we will have a bio in flight for a folio that we have *not* called folio_clear_dirty_for_io() on. If a task with an existing mmap-ed PTE writes (without faulting..) in this window, it can result in corruptions. If the write arrives while the checksumming or writing itself is underway, this can result in an invalid checksum and later corruption reports on read. If the write arrives after checksumming/writing is done but before the last sector dirty is cleared, then the write is present in page cache but doesn't affect the dirty tracking and will be lost when the folio is fully finished being submitted and the dirty bit is cleared. This results in losing the write even if fsync() is called. 2. For zoned submissions which are done in batch separate from the main extent_writepage() loop, we also risk csum violations for those submissions. Zoned writes are clamped to max_zone_append_size and are not aligned with folios, so a submission can span two folios. The first folio being processed in extent_write_cache_pages() will call extent_write_locked_range() which will submit the partial range of the next folio, while the rest of that folio could still be dirty. So clearing dirty on the submitted sectors doesn't call folio_clear_dirty_for_io() and we have the same issue. Since extent_write_cache_pages() skips these batch submitted folios (they are already marked for writeback from submission by the preceding folio), we must add the extra write protection in lock_delalloc_folios(). 3. For inline extents this will subtly risk losing writes that happen after/while we copy the inline extent but before we clear dirty on the folio. 4. For folios spanning EOF, mmap could tamper with the zeroed bytes past EOF and cause them to be persisted where future faults would improperly see them instead of zeros. 5. Finally, for compressed extents, we risk modifying the folios while we work on compressing them which will result in corrupted compressed data. Specifically, in run_delalloc_compressed() we queue up work to do compress_file_range() in BTRFS_COMPRESSION_CHUNK_SIZE (512K) chunks which will call btrfs_folio_clamp_clear_dirty() on the range. For non-subpage, this will always clear the whole folio, safely. For subpage, we risk a partial clear here as well. In particular, imagine a 2M folio broken up into 512K chunks of work which might start compression work on one chunk before all the chunks compress_file_range() workers have gotten far enough to finish clearing all the dirty bitmaps of the folio and getting to folio_clear_dirty_for_io(). Large folios on the edges of submission ranges are similarly at risk to be only partly cleared. This particular gap was introduced by a second patch in the same series: commit a4ef54dbb576 ("btrfs: make extent_range_clear_dirty_for_io() to handle sector size < page size cases") We cannot simply restore the call to folio_clear_dirty_for_io() because that also drops the dirty flag off the folio which violates invariants introduced for large folios by commit 334509ce9d07 ("btrfs: use dirty flag to check if an ordered extent needs to be truncated") and results in failing to invalidate clean folios past i_size, resulting in deadlocks. Therefore, to fix it, leave the existing semantics w.r.t. the folio's dirty flag (to preserve the correct invalidate behavior) but ensure that the other aspect of folio_clear_dirty_for_io(), folio_mkclean(), is run on the folio when we lock it for writeback. Finally, to help prevent similar regressions in the future, add a debug warning that triggers at the known corruption sites if we have failed to write protect the folio.

2026-08-07btrfs: log swapfile activation/deactivation and warn about pinned block groupsQu Wenruo1-2/+26
A swap file on btrfs will pin down block groups that cover the swap file extent. Pinned down block groups will be skipped for scrub and relocation. These degradation on critical btrfs maintenance operations is never properly educated to end users, and have already caused problems including: - Scrub finished too quick Because the enabled swap file has pinned down most of the block groups. Thus any file extents in those block groups, even not utilized by the swap file, will be skipped from scrub. - Unbalanced data and metadata usage, meanwhile relocation won't help The same reason, pinned down block groups will not be considered as relocation target, thus data extents that are not utilized by the swap file can still be skipped from relocation. Although we already have kernel messages for both scrub and balance, the balance one is still info level. To better communicate those potential long term problems, add the following output into dmesg: - Change the message level to warn for __btrfs_balance() - Total pinned down block group number and size during swapfile activation - Total released block group number and size during swapfile deactivation The above messages have info level. - The fact that pinned down block groups will not be scrubbed nor balanced The above message has warning level. The example output would look like the following, for enabling a 1.2G swapfile, which pinned down 2G block groups: BTRFS info (device dm-3): swapfile activated on root 5 ino 257, pinned down 2147483648 bytes from 2 block group(s) BTRFS warning (device dm-3): block groups with swapfile extents will not be scrubbed or balanced Adding 1257468k swap on /mnt/btrfs/foobar.

2026-08-04btrfs: flush the fixup workers during close_ctreeBoris Burkov1-0/+17
Reintroducing the COW fixup worker brought back the unmount race fixed by commit 41fd1e94066a ("btrfs: wait for fixup workers before stopping cleaner kthread during umount") without bringing back the fix. A fixup work item queued by the final writeback pass can still be in flight when close_ctree() stops the cleaner kthread and frees the fs roots. While destroy_workqueue() drains the queue, that happens after the cleaner thread was freed, so btrfs_add_delayed_iput() called from the fixup worker is no longer safe (not to mention that we are already in BTRFS_FS_STATE_NO_DELAYED_IPUT when it runs). Therefore we need to bring back explicitly flushing the fixup workqueue as in Filipe's original fix. The first flush will catch all the fixup writeback queued during the final sync before umount, but some of that might hit memory allocation errors and stay fixup in the blocks/folio, leading any subsequent writeback triggered *inside* umount (e.g. reclaim workers shutting down) to hit it and queue again. To fix that, and the possibility of any really long-lived pinned folios getting marked, deny queueing new fixup during umount. That allows us to flush twice (once before doing a real writeback pass to get the actual data, second time to clean up any rather unlikely stragglers right before declaring BTRFS_FS_STATE_NO_DELAYED_IPUT) and be certain nothing got re-queued. Reproduced by injecting a one-shot 30s sleep at the head of btrfs_writepage_fixup_worker() on a KASAN kernel, running the normal reproducing read dio workload before unmount and then observing: BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x35/0x50 Read of size 1 at addr ffff88810b4b08f8 by task kworker/u32:5/219 Workqueue: btrfs-fixup btrfs_writepage_fixup_worker [btrfs] Call Trace: _raw_spin_lock_irqsave+0x35/0x50 try_to_wake_up+0xc0/0x18c0 btrfs_writepage_fixup_worker+0x7f3/0xf20 [btrfs] ...

The crash is triggered with that new debug patch, and without this fix. [CAUSE] In the above case, the start 16826368 is properly 8K aligned, but the end (16830463 + 1) is not 8K aligned. Furthermore the mapping's minimal folio order is 0, not the expected 1 for 8K block size with 4K page size. So this means some inodes do not have btrfs_set_inode_mapping_order() called on it. The missing btrfs_set_inode_mapping_order() call happens for cached inodes, through the following events: - btrfs_create_new_inode() called for inode X Which properly sets minimal folio order for the VFS inode. - btrfs_update_inode() called for inode X Which calls btrfs_delayed_update_inode() to create a delayed_node into root->delayed_nodes xarray. - Drop cache/memory pressure, evicting in-memory inode X Which evicted the inode X, but delayed_node is still in root->delayed_nodes for future reuse. - btrfs_iget() for inode X called again btrfs_iget() |- btrfs_iget_locked() | |- iget5_locked_rcu() | Which creates a new vfs_inode for btrfs, whose mapping still | has the minimal order as 0. | |- btrfs_read_locked_inode() |- btrfs_fill_inode() | |- btrfs_get_delayed_node() | Which found out the previous node, and use that delayed | node to initialize the new inode. | |- filled = true; |- if (filled) goto cache_index; Which skips the btrfs_update_inode_mapping_flags() and btrfs_set_inode_mapping_order() calls. So the inode still has minimal folio order set as 0, not the required 1.

2026-07-30btrfs: trigger cow fixup via dirty_folio()Boris Burkov1-1/+199
The problem scenario: If we have a folio mmapped shared and then somebody does a dio read with that folio as the read destination, then it is possible that the dio will see a dirty destination page when it starts (and thus skip dirtying and just GUP pin it) but then while it is doing the read, btrfs finishes writing it back and by the endio, the folio is clean. In that case, the dio read must re-dirty the folio with aops->dirty_folio(): btrfs_check_read_bio() |- __iomap_dio_bio_end_io() from btrfs_bio_end_io() |- bio_check_pages_dirty() |- bio_dirty_fn() |- bio_release_pages(bio, true) |- __bio_release_pages(bio, mark_dirty == true) |- folio_lock() |- folio_mark_dirty() |- aops->dirty_folio() |- folio_unlock() A data block normally moves through writeback as follows: TASK folio_lock write clean -> dirty bit + delalloc folio_unlock WRITEBACK for-each-dirty-folio: folio_lock run_delalloc delalloc consumed -> dirty bit + OE submission dirty bit consumed -> writeback bit + OE folio_unlock ENDIO endio OE bytes accounted OE finish writeback -> clean; destroy OE Three critical invariants that this path maintains are: I1. Any dirty block is covered by delalloc xor an ordered extent I2. Any dirty block covered by an OE will be submitted into that OE I3. Any dirty block already submitted into an OE will not be submitted again into the same OE. These ensure that the block will be written exactly once. It is clear that not reserving delalloc for the re-dirty case violates I1. This situation, even without bs < folio_size, has long required btrfs to fixup such dirty pages during writeback with an asynchronous worker that is allowed to do this expensive work and writeback does not proceed for a folio while it is doing this work. Commit 247e743cbe6e ("Btrfs: Use async helpers to deal with pages that have been improperly dirtied") introduced the COW fixup to catch exactly this class at writeback, way back in 2008. Since then, there have been many advances to prevent most of the causes of such re-dirtying and we thought we could get away with removing the annoying cow-fixup in the hope of simplifying writeback for large folio support. Commit b2a9f217ad3f ("btrfs: remove the COW fixup mechanism") Commit 4927b141877c ("btrfs: remove folio ordered flag and subpage bitmap") Since it turns out this assumption was incorrect, as evidenced by the report and attendant reproducers, we must reintroduce the fixup concept. This is of course critically further complicated by bs < folio_size. In that case, rather than just a folio dirty bit, we have a bitmap for the dirty blocks in the folio. And the (also broken) invariant is: I4. folio dirty IFF at least one block bitmap dirty. The original report of a stall on a misinterpreted empty bitmap is exactly evidence of a violation of I4. It is exactly because of bs < folio_size we don't want to simply revert the removal patches. The original fixup was not properly bs < folio_size aware, which motivated removal in the first place. So we wish to build a bs < folio_size aware fixup. One other important detail from the old design, any normal write that happens after a re-dirty but before a fixup is racing with the cow fixup to do the delalloc reservation, therefore it must cancel the fixup state. If it arrives after the reservation exists, it will be a normal dirty overwrite. This critically informs the design in a pretty clear way. fixup requiring re-dirty has folio granularity, while cancellation has delalloc (block) granularity so while we only ever produce fixup in chunks of folios, we must be able to clear it in blocks. Therefore we must track the blocks needing fixup at block granularity. The obvious way to do this is with a new bitmap in btrfs_folio_state, but it is desirable to avoid that if possible. Unfortunately, I don't think it is possible and the reason is subtle and leans on a sort of extreme reproducer, but I think can be explained relatively succinctly. Consider a folio whose two halves will land in different ordered extents (can be accomplished with tricks using nodatasum) and a dio read is running with it as the shared mmap destination. 1. The front half: a. folio comes clean on a normal write b. dio read completes into the folio marking it fixup. c. a write comes for the previous folio for a range extending into this folio, this is a cancellation of the fixup which reserves space. d. writeback runs on the range *not* overlapping the folio. This half remains dirty but is now covered by an OE and is awaiting writeback running on its range to be submitted and finish the OE. 2. The back half: a. the folio is part of an OE that gets far enough along to clear writeback. b. dio read completes into the folio marking it fixup. After this, the folio's front half is dirty in the "normal" sense, it needs to be submitted to the OE waiting for it. It's a cancelled fixup. Meanwhile, the second half is a true fresh fixup. So at this point if we run writeback on this folio, we genuinely can't know what to do without block level information. If we submit it, we submit unreserved dirty from the back half. If we don't, we will never finish the OE waiting for it. So it's either a corruption or a deadlock. Thus, the full high level design picture: - btrfs_data_dirty_folio(): For out of band non-reserving dirties, mark still-clean blocks inside EOF dirty and set their fixup bits (the event carries no range, so every clean block is suspect). Already-dirty blocks are covered or pending and are left alone. - Writeback: skip fixup blocks and enqueue work for them - writepage_fixup(): for each fixup block do the fixup reservation in a worker, after which the blocks can be written back normally. - Typical reserving write paths cancel fixup state for the ranges they cover with btrfs_folio_cancel_fixup() Link: https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/20260721191152.101118-1-borntraeger@linux.ibm.com/ Assisted-by: LLM Reviewed-by: Qu Wenruo <wqu@suse.com> Signed-off-by: Boris Burkov <boris@bur.io> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>

2026-07-14btrfs: only account delalloc bytes for regular file inodes in btrfs_getattr()Dave Chen1-1/+2
btrfs_getattr() unconditionally reads BTRFS_I(inode)->new_delalloc_bytes and adds it (sector-aligned) to stat->blocks for every inode type. However, new_delalloc_bytes lives in a union with last_dir_index_offset: union { u64 new_delalloc_bytes; /* files only */ u64 last_dir_index_offset; /* directories only */ }; For a directory inode this memory holds last_dir_index_offset, which is set during directory logging (e.g. flush_dir_items_batch()) to the offset of the last logged BTRFS_DIR_INDEX_KEY. That offset grows with the number of entries ever created in the directory (dir indexes are monotonic and never reused), so it can be arbitrarily large. As a result, after a directory has been logged (e.g. via an fsync that triggers directory logging), btrfs_getattr() reports inflated st_blocks for that directory. The inflation is purely in-core and disappears after the inode is evicted and reloaded (btrfs_alloc_inode() zeroes the union), e.g. after a remount. Reproducer (on a btrfs filesystem): D=/mnt/btrfs/d mkdir -p $D for i in $(seq 1 20000); do touch $D/f$i; done sync # commit, push dir index high touch $D/trigger # dirty the dir in a new transaction xfs_io -c fsync $D # log the directory -> sets last_dir_index_offset stat -c '%b' $D # st_blocks is now inflated (e.g. 40) # umount + mount -> st_blocks drops back to the correct value The evict path already knows this union is type-dependent and guards the corresponding WARN_ON with !S_ISDIR() in btrfs_destroy_inode(); only btrfs_getattr() was missing the equivalent check. Only read new_delalloc_bytes for regular files, which are the only inodes that ever set it.

[FIX] When a short dio write happened, any range that is submitted will have btrfs_extract_ordered_extent() to be called, thus the submitted range will always have an OE just covering the submitted range. The remaining OE range is never submitted, thus they should be treated as truncated, not an error. So that we can properly reclaim and not insert an unnecessary file extent item, without marking the mapping as error. Extract a helper, btrfs_mark_ordered_extent_truncated(), and utilize that helper to mark the direct IO ordered extent as truncated, so it won't cause failure for the later buffered fallback. [REASON FOR NO FIXES TAG] The bug itself is pretty old, at commit f85781fb505e ("btrfs: switch to iomap for direct IO") we're already passing @uptodate=false finishing the OE. But at that time OE with IOERR won't call mapping_set_error(), so it's not exposed. Later commit d61bec08b904 ("btrfs: mark ordered extent and inode with error if we fail to finish") finally exposed the bug, but that commit is doing a correct job, not the root cause.

2026-06-09btrfs: allocate eb-attached btree pages as movableRik van Riel1-1/+1
Extent buffer pages allocated by alloc_extent_buffer() are attached to btree_inode->i_mapping (the buffer_tree path), reach the LRU, and are served by the btree_migrate_folio aops in fs/btrfs/disk-io.c. They are migratable in practice once their owning extent buffer hits refs == 1, which happens naturally. The buddy allocator classifies them by GFP, however, and bare GFP_NOFS lands them in MIGRATE_UNMOVABLE pageblocks. The result: every btree_inode page we read in pins an unmovable pageblock from the page-superblock allocator's perspective, even though the page itself can be moved. Have each caller of btrfs_alloc_page_array, btrfs_alloc_folio_array, and alloc_eb_folio_array pass in the full GFP mask directly, instead of having the functions calculate it from boolean flags. The alloc_extent_buffer call site passes GFP_NOFS | __GFP_NOFAIL | __GFP_MOVABLE. All other call sites pass plain GFP_NOFS. Three categories of caller stay on bare GFP_NOFS, deliberately: - alloc_dummy_extent_buffer / btrfs_clone_extent_buffer: the resulting eb is EXTENT_BUFFER_UNMAPPED, folio->mapping stays NULL, the folios never enter LRU, never get migrate_folio aops. Tagging them __GFP_MOVABLE would violate the page allocator's migrability contract and they would defeat compaction in MOVABLE pageblocks where isolate_migratepages_block skips non-LRU non-movable_ops pages outright. - btrfs_alloc_page_array callers in fs/btrfs/raid56.c (stripe pages), fs/btrfs/inode.c (encoded reads), fs/btrfs/ioctl.c (io_uring encoded reads), fs/btrfs/relocation.c (relocation buffers): same contract violation. raid56 stripe_pages additionally persist in the stripe cache (RBIO_CACHE_SIZE=1024) well beyond a single I/O, so they are not transient enough to hand-wave the contract. - btrfs_alloc_folio_array caller in fs/btrfs/scrub.c (stripe folios): same -- stripe->folios[] are private buffers freed via folio_put in release_scrub_stripe. This change targets the dominant fragmentation source observed on the page-superblock series: ~28 GB of btree_inode pages parked across many tainted superpageblocks on a 250 GB test system with btrfs root, preventing 1 GiB hugepage allocation from those regions. With the movable hint, those pages now land in MOVABLE pageblocks where the existing background defragger drains them through the standard PB_has_movable gate, no LRU-sample fallback needed.

2026-06-09btrfs: annotate lockless read of defrag_bytes in should_nocow()Cen Zhang1-1/+1
should_nocow() reads inode->defrag_bytes without holding inode->lock, while btrfs_set_delalloc_extent() and btrfs_clear_delalloc_extent() update it under that spinlock. This is a data race. The read is a quick check used to decide whether to fall back to COW for a NOCOW inode: if defrag_bytes is non-zero and the range is tagged EXTENT_DEFRAG, we force COW so that defragmentation can rewrite the extent. Reading a stale value is harmless because: - A missed increment may skip COW once, but the defrag pass will redo the extent later. - A stale non-zero may force an unnecessary COW, which is a minor efficiency loss, not a correctness issue. On 64-bit platforms an aligned u64 load is naturally atomic so tearing cannot happen. On 32-bit platforms u64 may tear, but we only test for zero vs non-zero, so the heuristic stays correct regardless. Use data_race() annotation.

2026-06-08btrfs: remove folio ordered flag and subpage bitmapQu Wenruo1-29/+2
Btrfs has an internal flag/subpage bitmap called ordered, which is to indicate that a block has corresponding ordered extent covering it. However this requires extra synchronization between the inode ordered tree, and the folio flag/subpage bitmap, not to mention we need to maintain the extra folio flag with subpage bitmap. As a step to align btrfs_folio_state more closely to iomap_folio_state, remove the btrfs specific ordered flag/bitmap. This will also save us 64 bytes for the bitmap of a huge folio. Since we're here, also update the ASCII graph of the bitmap, as there are only 3 sub-bitmaps now, show all sub-bitmaps directly.

2026-06-08btrfs: use dirty flag to check if an ordered extent needs to be truncatedQu Wenruo1-8/+13
Currently there are only two folio ordered flag users: - extent_writepage_io() To ensure the folio range has an ordered extent covering it. This is from the legacy COW fixup mechanism, which is already removed and only a simple check is left. - btrfs_invalidate_folio() This is to avoid race with end_bbio_data_write(), where btrfs_finish_ordered_extent() will be called to handle the OE finishing. But for btrfs_invalidate_folio() we have already waited for the folio writeback to finish, and locked the folio. This means we can use the dirty flag to check if a range is already submitted or not. If the OE range is not dirty, it means the range has been submitted and its dirty flag was cleared. And since we have already waited for writeback, the endio function will handle the OE finishing. Thus if the range is not dirty, we must skip the range. If the OE range is dirty, it means we have allocated an ordered extent but have not yet submitted the range. And that's exactly the case where we need to truncate the ordered extent. Signed-off-by: Qu Wenruo <wqu@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>
2026-06-08btrfs: unify folio dirty flag clearingQu Wenruo1-0/+2
Currently during folio writeback, we call folio_clear_dirty_for_io() before extent_writepage(), which causes folio dirty flag to be cleared, but without touching the subpage bitmaps. This works fine for the bio submission path, as we always call btrfs_folio_clear_dirty() to clear the subpage bitmap. But this is far from consistent, thus this patch is going to unify the behavior to always use btrfs_folio_clear_dirty() helper to clear both folio flag and subpage bitmap. This involves: - Replace folio_clear_dirty_for_io() with folio_test_dirty() There is only one call site calling folio_clear_dirty_for_io() outside of subpage.c, that's inside extent_write_cache_pages() just before extent_writepage(). - Make btrfs_invalidate_folio() clear dirty range for the whole folio The function btrfs_invalidate_folio() is also called during extent_writepage(). If we had a folio completely beyond isize, we call folio_invalidate() -> btrfs_invalidate_folio() to free the folio. Since we no longer have folio_clear_dirty_for_io() to clear the folio dirty flag, we must manually clear the folio dirty flag for the to-be-invalidated folio, and also clear the PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY tag. The tag clearing is done using a new helper, btrfs_clear_folio_dirty_tag(), which is almost the same as the old btree_clear_folio_dirty_tag(), but with minor improvements including: * Remove the folio_test_dirty() check We have already done an ASSERT(). * Add an ASSERT() to make sure folio is mapped - Add extra ASSERT()s before clearing folio private During development I hit dirty folios without the private flag set, and that caused a lot of ASSERT()s. The reason is that btrfs_invalidate_folio() is relying on the dirty flag being cleared when it's called from extent_writepage(). Add extra ASSERT()s inside clear_folio_extent_mapped() to catch wild dirty/writeback flags. Signed-off-by: Qu Wenruo <wqu@suse.com> Signed-off-by: David Sterba <dsterba@suse.com>

Then we hit the folio writeback: extent_writepage() |- writepage_delalloc() | No ordered extent is created, as there is no EXTENT_DELALLOC set | for the folio range. | This also means the folio has no ordered flag set. | |- extent_writepage_io() \- if (unlikely(!folio_test_ordered(folio)) Now we hit the warning.

This allows us to fail early without clearing EXTENT_DELALLOC bit, so even if that new btrfs_reset_extent_delalloc() failed before touching EXTENT_DELALLOC, the existing dirty range will still have their old EXTENT_DELALLOC flag present, thus avoid the warning.

The folio checked flag is only utilized by the COW fixup mechanism inside btrfs. Since the COW fixup is already removed from non-experimental builds, there is no need to keep the checked subpage bitmap. This will saves us some space for large folios, for example for a single 256K sized large folio on 4K page sized systems: Old bitmap size = 6 * (256K / 4K / 8) = 48 bytes New bitmap size = 5 * (256K / 4K / 8) = 40 bytes This will be more obvious when we're going to support huge folios (order = 9).

2026-06-08btrfs: remove the COW fixup mechanismQu Wenruo1-202/+0
[BACKGROUND] Btrfs has a special mechanism called COW fixup, which detects dirty pages without an ordered extent (folio ordered flag). Normally a dirty folio must go through delayed allocation (delalloc) before it can be submitted, and delalloc will create an ordered extent for it and mark the range with ordered flag. However in older kernels, there are bugs related to get_user_pages() which can lead to some page marked dirty but without notifying the fs to properly prepare them for writeback. In that case without an ordered extent btrfs is unable to properly submit such dirty folios, thus the COW fixup mechanism is introduced, which do the extra space reservation so that they can be written back properly. [MODERN SOLUTIONS] The MM layer has solved it properly now with the introduction of pin_user_pages*(), so we're handling cases that are no longer valid. So commit 7ca3e84980ef ("btrfs: reject out-of-band dirty folios during writeback") is introduced to change the behavior from going through COW fixup to rejecting them directly for experimental builds. So far it works fine, but when errors are injected into the IO path, we have random failures triggering the new warnings. It looks like we have error path that cleared the ordered flag but leaves the folio dirty flag, which later triggers the warning. [REMOVAL OF COW FIXUP] Although I hope to fix all those known warnings cases, I just can not figure out the root cause yet. But on the other hand, if we remove the ordered and checked flags in the future, and purely rely on the dirty flags and ordered extent search, we can get a much cleaner handling. Considering it's no longer hitting the COW fixup for normal IO paths, I think it's finally the time to remove the COW fixup completely. Furthermore, the function name "btrfs_writepage_cow_fixup()" is no longer meaningful, and since it's pretty small, only a folio flag check with error message, there is no need to put it as a dedicated helper, just open code it inside extent_writepage_io().

2026-05-16btrfs: always drop root->inodes lock before cond_resched()Boris Burkov1-1/+3
find_first_inode() and find_first_inode_to_shrink() lock root->inodes, then loop over them, occasionally skipping some inodes. When they skip an inode, they attempt to share the cpu/lock with cond_resched_lock(). However, that has a subtle problem associated with it. cond_resched_lock() only drops the lock if it needs to actually call schedule(). With CONFIG_PREEMPT_NONE, this means the full timeslice as detected at ticks. With 8+ cpus and default tunables, this is 2.8ms. So regardless of HZ, we will run for at least 2.8ms in this loop without dropping the lock, assuming it finds no suitable inodes. If HZ is small enough, it might be even worse as the tick granularity becomes bigger than the timeslice. The knock-on effect of this is that callers to btrfs_del_inode_from_root() like kswapd trying to shrink the inode slab or userspace threads calling evict() will spin on xa_lock(&root->inodes) for 2.8ms, so the extent map shrinker dominates the lock even though ostensibly it is intending to share it. This produces memory pressure as there is only one kswapd and it runs sequentially so it can get stuck in the inode slab shrinking. To fix it, simply replace cond_resched_lock() with an open coded variant which unconditionally does unlock/lock around cond_resched. Sharing the lock is decoupled from sharing the CPU, and all the users of the lock now share it fairly. I was able to reproduce this on test systems by producing a lot of empty files (to make a big root->inodes xarray), then producing memory pressure by reading large files larger than ram, triggering kswapd and the extent_map shrinker. The lock contention is visible with perf or lockstat. This patch also relieved a user-apparent bottleneck on a production system from the original report.

2026-05-08btrfs: fix incorrect i_size after remount caused by KEEP_SIZE prealloc gapRobbie Ko1-0/+28
When fallocate() with FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE preallocates an extent past the current i_size, the file_extent_tree of the inode is updated to cover that range. However, on the next mount, btrfs_read_locked_inode() only re-populates file_extent_tree with [0, round_up(i_size, sectorsize)), losing the marks that belonged to the KEEP_SIZE prealloc extent beyond i_size. Later, when a non-KEEP_SIZE fallocate() extends i_size into / past that old prealloc extent, the reservation loop in btrfs_fallocate() skips already-prealloc segments and does not call into the path that marks the file_extent_tree, so a gap remains inside the file_extent_tree across [old_aligned_i_size, start_of_new_alloc). Then __btrfs_prealloc_file_range() calls btrfs_inode_safe_disk_i_size_write(), which uses find_contiguous_extent_bit() starting at offset 0 to derive disk_i_size. The walk stops at the gap, so disk_i_size ends up smaller than i_size and gets persisted. After the next mount, the file shows the wrong (smaller) size. The following reproducer triggers the problem: $ cat test.sh MNT=/mnt/sdi DEV=/dev/sdi mkdir -p $MNT mkfs.btrfs -f -O ^no-holes $DEV mount $DEV $MNT touch $MNT/file1 # KEEP_SIZE prealloc beyond i_size (i_size stays 0) fallocate -n -o 4M -l 4M $MNT/file1 umount $MNT mount $DEV $MNT # non-KEEP_SIZE fallocate that overlaps the previous prealloc tail # and extends past it fallocate -o 7M -l 2M $MNT/file1 ls -lh $MNT/file1 umount $MNT mount $DEV $MNT ls -lh $MNT/file1 umount $MNT Running the reproducer gives the following result: $ ./test.sh (...) -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 9.0M May 4 16:35 /mnt/sdi/file1 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 7.0M May 4 16:35 /mnt/sdi/file1 The size before the second mount is correct (9M), but after the remount it drops to 7M, i.e. the start of the gap inside file_extent_tree. Fix this in __btrfs_prealloc_file_range() by marking the entire range [round_down(old_i_size, sectorsize), round_up(new_i_size, sectorsize)) in file_extent_tree before updating i_size and calling btrfs_inode_safe_disk_i_size_write(). This ensures the contiguous bit search starting from 0 is not truncated by a stale gap left behind by a previous KEEP_SIZE prealloc that was not restored on inode load. The fix has no effect when the NO_HOLES feature is enabled because btrfs_inode_safe_disk_i_size_write() and btrfs_inode_set_file_extent_range() both take the fast path that directly tracks disk_i_size without consulting file_extent_tree.

submit_one_async_extent() calls btrfs_reserve_extent(), which decrements bytes_may_use.

Any inode that had a link removed must have its last_unlink_trans updated to the ID of transaction used for the operation, otherwise fsync and log replay will not work correctly. btrfs_rmdir() calls btrfs_unlink_inode() and through that call chain we never call btrfs_record_unlink_dir() in order to update last_unlink_trans. However btrfs_unlink(), which is used for unlinking regular files, calls btrfs_record_unlink_dir() and then calls btrfs_unlink_inode(). So fix this by moving the call to btrfs_record_unlink_dir() from btrfs_unlink() to btrfs_unlink_inode(). A test case for fstests will follow soon.

2026-04-07btrfs: skip clearing EXTENT_DEFRAG for NOCOW ordered extentsDave Chen1-3/+7
In btrfs_finish_one_ordered(), clear_bits is unconditionally initialized with EXTENT_DEFRAG. For NOCOW ordered extents this is always a no-op because should_nocow() already forces the COW path when EXTENT_DEFRAG is set, so a NOCOW ordered extent can never have EXTENT_DEFRAG on its range. Although harmless, the unconditional btrfs_clear_extent_bit() call still performs a cold rbtree lookup under the io tree spinlock on every NOCOW write completion. Avoid this by only adding EXTENT_DEFRAG to clear_bits for non-NOCOW ordered extents, and skip the call entirely when there are no bits to clear.

2026-04-07btrfs: prevent direct reclaim during compressed readaheadJP Kobryn (Meta)1-1/+1
Under memory pressure, direct reclaim can kick in during compressed readahead. This puts the associated task into D-state. Then shrink_lruvec() disables interrupts when acquiring the LRU lock. Under heavy pressure, we've observed reclaim can run long enough that the CPU becomes prone to CSD lock stalls since it cannot service incoming IPIs. Although the CSD lock stalls are the worst case scenario, we have found many more subtle occurrences of this latency on the order of seconds, over a minute in some cases. Prevent direct reclaim during compressed readahead. This is achieved by using different GFP flags at key points when the bio is marked for readahead. There are two functions that allocate during compressed readahead: btrfs_alloc_compr_folio() and add_ra_bio_pages(). Both currently use GFP_NOFS which includes __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM. For the internal API call btrfs_alloc_compr_folio(), the signature changes to accept an additional gfp_t parameter. At the readahead call site, it gets flags similar to GFP_NOFS but stripped of __GFP_DIRECT_RECLAIM. __GFP_NOWARN is added since these allocations are allowed to fail. Demand reads still use full GFP_NOFS and will enter reclaim if needed. All other existing call sites of btrfs_alloc_compr_folio() now explicitly pass GFP_NOFS to retain their current behavior. add_ra_bio_pages() gains a bool parameter which allows callers to specify if they want to allow direct reclaim or not. In either case, the __GFP_NOWARN flag was added unconditionally since the allocations are speculative. There has been some previous work done on calling add_ra_bio_pages() [0]. This patch is complementary: where that patch reduces call frequency, this patch reduces the latency associated with those calls.

2026-04-07btrfs: fix unnecessary flush on close when truncating zero-sized filesDave Chen1-1/+1
In btrfs_setsize(), when a file is truncated to size 0, the BTRFS_INODE_FLUSH_ON_CLOSE flag is unconditionally set to ensure pending writes get flushed on close. This flag was designed to protect the "truncate-then-rewrite" pattern, where an application truncates a file with existing data down to zero and writes new content, ensuring the new data reach disk on close. However, when a file already has a size of 0 (e.g. a newly created file opened with O_CREAT | O_TRUNC), oldsize and newsize are both 0. In this case, setting BTRFS_INODE_FLUSH_ON_CLOSE is unnecessary because no "good data" was truncated away. The subsequent filemap_flush() in btrfs_release_file() then triggers avoidable writeback that disrupts the normal delayed writeback batching, adding I/O overhead. This comes from a real workload. A backup service creates temporary files via mkstemp(), closes them, and later reopens them with O_TRUNC for writing. The O_TRUNC is defensive. The file creation and usage is done by a different component, so removing the unneeded truncation is not straightforward. This pattern repeats for a large number of files each close() triggers an unnecessary filemap_flush().

2026-04-07btrfs: extract inlined creation into a dedicated delalloc helperQu Wenruo1-110/+110
Currently we call cow_file_range_inline() in different situations, from regular cow_file_range() to compress_file_range(). This is because inline extent creation has different conditions based on whether it's a compressed one or not. But on the other hand, inline extent creation shouldn't be so distributed, we can just have a dedicated branch in btrfs_run_delalloc_range(). It will become more obvious for compressed inline cases, it makes no sense to go through all the complex async extent mechanism just to inline a single block. So here we introduce a dedicated run_delalloc_inline() helper, and remove all inline related handling from cow_file_range() and compress_file_range(). There is a special update to inode_need_compress(), that a new @check_inline parameter is introduced. This is to allow inline specific checks to be done inside run_delalloc_inline(), which allows single block compression, but other call sites should always reject single block compression.

2026-04-07btrfs: do compressed bio size roundup and zeroing in one goQu Wenruo1-22/+5
Currently we zero out all the remaining bytes of the last folio of the compressed bio, then round the bio size to fs block boundary. But that is done in two different functions, zero_last_folio() to zero the remaining bytes of the last folio, and round_up_last_block() to round up the bio to fs block boundary. There are some minor problems: - zero_last_folio() is zeroing ranges we won't submit This is mostly affecting block size < page size cases, where we can have a large folio (e.g. 64K), but the fs block size is only 4K. In that case, we may only want to submit the first 4K of the folio, the remaining range won't matter, but we still zero them all. This causes unnecessary CPU usage just to zero out some bytes we won't utilized. - compressed_bio_last_folio() is called twice in two different functions Which in theory we only need to call it once. Enhance the situation by: - Only zero out bytes up to the fs block boundary Thus this will reduce some overhead for bs < ps cases. - Move the folio_zero_range() call into round_up_last_block() So that we can reuse the same folio returned by compressed_bio_last_folio().

2026-04-07btrfs: check snapshot_force_cow earlier in can_nocow_file_extent()Chen Guan Jie1-5/+5
When a snapshot is being created, the atomic counter snapshot_force_cow is incremented to force incoming writes to fallback to COW. This is a critical mechanism to protect the consistency of the snapshot being taken. Currently, can_nocow_file_extent() checks this counter only after performing several checks, most notably the expensive cross-reference check via btrfs_cross_ref_exist(). btrfs_cross_ref_exist() releases the path and performs a search in the extent tree or backref cache, which involves btree traversals and locking overhead. Moves the snapshot_force_cow check to the very beginning of can_nocow_file_extent(). This reordering is safe and beneficial because: 1. args->writeback_path is invariant for the duration of the call (set by caller run_delalloc_nocow). 2. is_freespace_inode is a static property of the inode. 3. The state of snapshot_force_cow is driven by the btrfs_mksnapshot() process. Checking it earlier does not change the outcome of the NOCOW decision, but effectively prunes the expensive code path when a fallback to COW is inevitable. By failing fast when a snapshot is pending, we avoid the unnecessary overhead of btrfs_cross_ref_exist() and other extent item checks in the scenario where NOCOW is already known to be impossible.
