Often when starting a transaction we commit the currently running transaction,
which can end up writing block group caches when the current process has its
journal_info set to NULL (and not to a transaction). This makes our assertion
at btrfs_check_data_free_space() (current_journal != NULL) fail, resulting
in a crash/hang. Therefore fix it by setting journal_info.

Two different traces of this issue follow below.

V2: Removed test for current->journal_info == NULL. At this point it's
      always expected to be NULL.

Reviewed-by: Miao Xie <mi...@cn.fujitsu.com>

Let me clarify my understanding since I'm not good at the transaction code.

* What is the route cause?

   When start_transaction() is called with current->journal_transaction == NULL,
   we hit BUG() in the following path.

   start_transaction
     -> btrfs_commit_transaction
       -> commit_cowonly_roots
         -> update_cowonly_root
           -> btrfs_write_dirty_block_groups
             -> cache_save_setup
               -> btrfs_check_data_free_space
                  ASSERT(current->journal_info) # it fails and hits BUG()!

Yes, you are right.


* Why NULL check is not necessary?

fs/btrfs/transaction.c:
===============================================================================
start_transaction(...) {
         if (current->journal_info &&
             current->journal_info != (void *)BTRFS_SEND_TRANS_STUB) {
                 ...
                 goto got_it;
===============================================================================
      To begin with, if current->journal_info == BTRFS_SEND_TRANS_STUB,
   start_transaction() should not be called. Filipe's another patch
   ([PATCH] Btrfs: assert send doesn't attempt to start) is to change
   the second condition to ASSERT().

   If current->journal_transaction is a "real" transaction, the
   above-mentioned code path is skipped because of "goto got_it".

Is my understanding correct?

Yes, you are right.
And only JOIN/JOIN_NOLOCK can join the current transaction handle, the others is
forbidden.

Thank your for your explanation!

Thanks
Miao


BTW, Filipe, although I've tried to reproduce this problem for two days
by running xfstests loop, it didn't happen yet with my environment ;-(
So all I can do seems to be code review.

Thanks,
Satoru
