While writing an explanation for the need of the commit_root_sem for
btrfs_prepare_extent_commit, I realized we have a slight hole that could
result in leaked space if we have to do the old style caching. Consider
the following scenario
commit root
+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+
|\\\\| |\\\\|\\\\| |\\\\|\\\\|
+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
new commit root
+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+
| | | |\\\\| | |\\\\|
+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Prior to this patch, we run btrfs_prepare_extent_commit, which updates
the last_byte_to_unpin, and then we subsequently run
switch_commit_roots. In this example lets assume that
caching_ctl->progress == 1 at btrfs_prepare_extent_commit() time, which
means that cache->last_byte_to_unpin == 1. Then we go and do the
switch_commit_roots(), but in the meantime the caching thread has made
some more progress, because we drop the commit_root_sem and re-acquired
it. Now caching_ctl->progress == 3. We swap out the commit root and
carry on to unpin.
The race can happen like:
1) The caching thread was running using the old commit root when it
found the extent for [2, 3);
2) Then it released the commit_root_sem because it was in the last
item of a leaf and the semaphore was contended, and set ->progress
to 3 (value of 'last'), as the last extent item in the current leaf
was for the extent for range [2, 3);
3) Next time it gets the commit_root_sem, will start using the new
commit root and search for a key with offset 3, so it never finds
the hole for [2, 3).
So the caching thread never saw [2, 3) as free space in any of the
commit roots, and by the time finish_extent_commit() was called for
the range [0, 3), ->last_byte_to_unpin was 1, so it only returned the
subrange [0, 1) to the free space cache, skipping [2, 3).
In the unpin code we have last_byte_to_unpin == 1, so we unpin [0,1),
but do not unpin [2,3). However because caching_ctl->progress == 3 we
do not see the newly freed section of [2,3), and thus do not add it to
our free space cache. This results in us missing a chunk of free space
in memory (on disk too, unless we have a power failure before writing
the free space cache to disk).
Fix this by making sure the ->last_byte_to_unpin is set at the same time
that we swap the commit roots, this ensures that we will always be
consistent.
