There are a lot of error reports complaining about transid error in the mail list.
Under most case, the on-disk transid is lower than expected transid. This may indicate that some tree blocks are not written back to disk before writing super blocks. This patch will add a safe net for developers, by calling btrfs_write_and_wait_transaction() before setting transaction unblocked and double check btree_inode and dirty_pages io_tree, to ensure no tree blocks are still dirty or under writeback. Signed-off-by: Qu Wenruo <w...@suse.com> --- The reason for RFC is, I'm not sure why we currently call btrfs_write_and_wait_transaction() after setting transaction UNBLOCKED. It looks like an optimization, but I don't see much performance difference during regression test. I hope to move the call before we unblock transaction so we can do such sanity check for all builds and hope to catch some clue of transid error. --- fs/btrfs/transaction.c | 38 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 38 insertions(+) diff --git a/fs/btrfs/transaction.c b/fs/btrfs/transaction.c index 4ec2b660d014..30b7ed0bf873 100644 --- a/fs/btrfs/transaction.c +++ b/fs/btrfs/transaction.c @@ -2213,6 +2213,44 @@ int btrfs_commit_transaction(struct btrfs_trans_handle *trans) btrfs_trans_release_chunk_metadata(trans); + /* Last safenet or developer to catch any unwritten tree blocks */ + if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_BTRFS_DEBUG)) { + u64 found_start = 0; + u64 found_end = 0; + + ret = btrfs_write_and_wait_transaction(trans); + if (ret) { + btrfs_handle_fs_error(fs_info, ret, + "Error while writing out transaction"); + mutex_unlock(&fs_info->tree_log_mutex); + goto scrub_continue; + } + + /* No dirty extent should exist in btree inode */ + ret = test_range_bit(&trans->transaction->dirty_pages, 0, + (u64)-1, EXTENT_DIRTY | EXTENT_WRITEBACK, + 0, NULL); + if (ret > 0) { + WARN(1, + "dirty_pages not fully written back, start=%llu len=%llu\n", + found_start, found_end + 1 - found_start); + ret = -EUCLEAN; + mutex_unlock(&fs_info->tree_log_mutex); + goto scrub_continue; + } + ret = test_range_bit(&BTRFS_I(fs_info->btree_inode)->io_tree, 0, + (u64)-1, EXTENT_DIRTY | EXTENT_WRITEBACK, + 0, NULL); + if (ret > 0) { + WARN(1, + "btree io_tree not fully written back, start=%llu len=%llu\n", + found_start, found_end + 1 - found_start); + ret = -EUCLEAN; + mutex_unlock(&fs_info->tree_log_mutex); + goto scrub_continue; + } + } + spin_lock(&fs_info->trans_lock); cur_trans->state = TRANS_STATE_UNBLOCKED; fs_info->running_transaction = NULL; -- 2.20.1
