From 87826df0ec36fc28884b4ddbb3f3af41c4c2008f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jeff Mahoney Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2012 16:23:57 +0100 Subject: btrfs: delalloc for page dirtied out-of-band in fixup worker We encountered an issue that was easily observable on s/390 systems but could really happen anywhere. The timing just seemed to hit reliably on s/390 with limited memory. The gist is that when an unexpected set_page_dirty() happened, we'd run into the BUG() in btrfs_writepage_fixup_worker since it wasn't properly set up for delalloc. This patch does the following: - Performs the missing delalloc in the fixup worker - Allow the start hook to return -EBUSY which informs __extent_writepage that it should mark the page skipped and not to redirty it. This is required since the fixup worker can fail with -ENOSPC and the page will have already been redirtied. That causes an Oops in drop_outstanding_extents later. Retrying the fixup worker could lead to an infinite loop. Deferring the page redirty also saves us some cycles since the page would be stuck in a resubmit-redirty loop until the fixup worker completes. It's not harmful, just wasteful. - If the fixup worker fails, we mark the page and mapping as errored, and end the writeback, similar to what we would do had the page actually been submitted to writeback.
