This issue is simple to reproduce and observe if kmemleak is enabled. Two simple ways to reproduce it:
** 1 $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/loop0 $ mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/btrfs $ btrfs balance start /mnt/btrfs $ umount /mnt/btrfs ** 2 $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/loop0 $ mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/btrfs $ touch /mnt/btrfs/foobar $ rm -f /mnt/btrfs/foobar $ umount /mnt/btrfs After a while, kmemleak reports the leak: $ cat /sys/kernel/debug/kmemleak unreferenced object 0xffff880402b13e00 (size 128): comm "btrfs", pid 19621, jiffies 4341648183 (age 70057.844s) hex dump (first 32 bytes): 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................ 00 fc c6 b1 04 88 ff ff 04 00 04 00 ad 4e ad de .............N.. backtrace: [<ffffffff817275a6>] kmemleak_alloc+0x26/0x50 [<ffffffff8117832b>] kmem_cache_alloc_trace+0xeb/0x1d0 [<ffffffffa04db499>] btrfs_alloc_block_rsv+0x39/0x70 [btrfs] [<ffffffffa04f8bad>] btrfs_orphan_add+0x13d/0x1b0 [btrfs] [<ffffffffa04e2b13>] btrfs_remove_block_group+0x143/0x500 [btrfs] [<ffffffffa0518158>] btrfs_relocate_chunk.isra.63+0x618/0x790 [btrfs] [<ffffffffa051bc27>] btrfs_balance+0x8f7/0xe90 [btrfs] [<ffffffffa05240a0>] btrfs_ioctl_balance+0x250/0x550 [btrfs] [<ffffffffa05269ca>] btrfs_ioctl+0xdfa/0x25f0 [btrfs] [<ffffffff8119c936>] do_vfs_ioctl+0x96/0x570 [<ffffffff8119cea1>] SyS_ioctl+0x91/0xb0 [<ffffffff81750242>] system_call_fastpath+0x16/0x1b [<ffffffffffffffff>] 0xffffffffffffffff This affects btrfs-next, revision be8e3cd00d7293dd177e3f8a4a1645ce09ca3acb (Btrfs: separate out tests into their own directory). Signed-off-by: Filipe David Borba Manana <fdman...@gmail.com> --- V2: removed atomic_t member in struct btrfs_block_rsv, as suggested by Josef Bacik, and use instead the condition reserved == 0 to decide when to free the block. V3: simplified patch, just kfree() (and not btrfs_free_block_rsv) the root's orphan_block_rsv when free'ing the root. Thanks Josef for the suggestion. V4: use btrfs_free_block_rsv() instead of kfree(). The error I was getting in xfstests when using btrfs_free_block_rsv() was unrelated, Josef just pointed it to me (separate issue). fs/btrfs/disk-io.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) diff --git a/fs/btrfs/disk-io.c b/fs/btrfs/disk-io.c index 3b12c26..c4b90a0 100644 --- a/fs/btrfs/disk-io.c +++ b/fs/btrfs/disk-io.c @@ -3428,6 +3428,8 @@ void btrfs_drop_and_free_fs_root(struct btrfs_fs_info *fs_info, static void free_fs_root(struct btrfs_root *root) { + btrfs_free_block_rsv(root, root->orphan_block_rsv); + root->orphan_block_rsv = NULL; iput(root->cache_inode); WARN_ON(!RB_EMPTY_ROOT(&root->inode_tree)); if (root->anon_dev) -- 1.7.9.5 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
