It is possible to cause a btrfs mount to fail by racing it with a slow
umount. The crux of the sequence is generic_shutdown_super not yet
calling sop->put_super before btrfs_mount_root calls btrfs_open_devices.
If that occurs, btrfs_open_devices will decide the opened counter is
non-zero, increment it, and skip resetting fs_devices->total_rw_bytes to
0. From here, mount will call sget which will result in grab_super
trying to take the super block umount semaphore. That semaphore will be
held by the slow umount, so mount will block. Before up-ing the
semaphore, umount will delete the super block, resulting in mount's sget
reliably allocating a new one, which causes the mount path to dutifully
fill it out, and increment total_rw_bytes a second time, which causes
the mount to fail, as we see double the expected bytes.
Here is the sequence laid out in greater detail:
CPU0 CPU1
down_write sb->s_umount
btrfs_kill_super
kill_anon_super(sb)
generic_shutdown_super(sb);
shrink_dcache_for_umount(sb);
sync_filesystem(sb);
evict_inodes(sb); // SLOW
btrfs_mount_root
btrfs_scan_one_device
fs_devices = device->fs_devices
fs_info->fs_devices = fs_devices
// fs_devices-opened makes this a no-op
btrfs_open_devices(fs_devices, mode, fs_type)
s = sget(fs_type, test, set, flags, fs_info);
find sb in s_instances
grab_super(sb);
down_write(&s->s_umount); // blocks
sop->put_super(sb)
// sb->fs_devices->opened == 2; no-op
spin_lock(&sb_lock);
hlist_del_init(&sb->s_instances);
spin_unlock(&sb_lock);
up_write(&sb->s_umount);
return 0;
retry lookup
don't find sb in s_instances (deleted by CPU0)
s = alloc_super
return s;
btrfs_fill_super(s, fs_devices, data)
open_ctree // fs_devices total_rw_bytes improperly set!
btrfs_read_chunk_tree
read_one_dev // increment total_rw_bytes again!!
super_total_bytes < fs_devices->total_rw_bytes // ERROR!!!
To fix this, we observe that if we have already filled the device, the
state bit BTRFS_DEV_STATE_IN_FS_METADATA will be set on it, and we can
use that to avoid filling it a second time for no reason and,
critically, avoid double counting in total_rw_bytes. One gotcha is that
read_one_chunk also sets this bit, which happens before read_one_dev (in
read_sys_array), so we must remove that setting of the bit as well, for
the state bit to truly correspond to the device struct being filled from
disk.
To reproduce, it is sufficient to dirty a decent number of inodes, then
quickly umount and mount.
for i in $(seq 0 500)
do
dd if=/dev/zero of="/mnt/foo/$i" bs=1M count=1
done
umount /mnt/foo&
mount /mnt/foo
does the trick for me.
A final note is that this fix actually breaks the fstest btrfs/163, but
having investigated it, I believe that is due to a subtle flaw in how
btrfs replace works when used on a seed device. The replace target device
never gets a correct dev_item with the sprout fsid written out. This
causes several problems, but for the sake of btrfs/163, read_one_chunk
marking the device with IN_FS_METADATA was wallpapering over it, which
this patch breaks. I will be sending a subsequent fix for the seed replace
issue which will also fix btrfs/163.

Lets kill the set_bit below, and changes this to

also you don't need {} for single line if statements. Thanks,

It is possible to cause a btrfs mount to fail by racing it with a slow
umount. The crux of the sequence is generic_shutdown_super not yet
calling sop->put_super before btrfs_mount_root calls btrfs_open_devices.
If that occurs, btrfs_open_devices will decide the opened counter is
non-zero, increment it, and skip resetting fs_devices->total_rw_bytes to
0. From here, mount will call sget which will result in grab_super
trying to take the super block umount semaphore. That semaphore will be
held by the slow umount, so mount will block. Before up-ing the
semaphore, umount will delete the super block, resulting in mount's sget
reliably allocating a new one, which causes the mount path to dutifully
fill it out, and increment total_rw_bytes a second time, which causes
the mount to fail, as we see double the expected bytes.
Here is the sequence laid out in greater detail:
CPU0 CPU1
down_write sb->s_umount
btrfs_kill_super
kill_anon_super(sb)
generic_shutdown_super(sb);
shrink_dcache_for_umount(sb);
sync_filesystem(sb);
evict_inodes(sb); // SLOW
btrfs_mount_root
btrfs_scan_one_device
fs_devices = device->fs_devices
fs_info->fs_devices = fs_devices
// fs_devices-opened makes this a no-op
btrfs_open_devices(fs_devices, mode, fs_type)
s = sget(fs_type, test, set, flags, fs_info);
find sb in s_instances
grab_super(sb);
down_write(&s->s_umount); // blocks
sop->put_super(sb)
// sb->fs_devices->opened == 2; no-op
spin_lock(&sb_lock);
hlist_del_init(&sb->s_instances);
spin_unlock(&sb_lock);
up_write(&sb->s_umount);
return 0;
retry lookup
don't find sb in s_instances (deleted by CPU0)
s = alloc_super
return s;
btrfs_fill_super(s, fs_devices, data)
open_ctree // fs_devices total_rw_bytes improperly set!
btrfs_read_chunk_tree
read_one_dev // increment total_rw_bytes again!!
super_total_bytes < fs_devices->total_rw_bytes // ERROR!!!
To fix this, we observe that if we have already filled the device, the
state bit BTRFS_DEV_STATE_IN_FS_METADATA will be set on it, and we can
use that to avoid filling it a second time for no reason and,
critically, avoid double counting in total_rw_bytes. One gotcha is that

It seems weird that umount and mount can be mixed in such way but with
the VFS locks and structures it's valid, so the devices managed by btrfs
slipped through.
With the suggested fix, the bit BTRFS_DEV_STATE_IN_FS_METADATA becomes
quite important and the synchronization of the device related data.
The semantics seems quite subtle and inconsistent regarding other uses
of set_bit or clear_bit and the total_rw_bytes.
I'm thinkig about unconditional setting of IN_FS_METADATA as it is now,
but recalculating total_rw_size outside of read_one_dev in
btrfs_read_chunk_tree. There it should not matter if the bit was set by
the unmounted or the mounted filesystem, as long as the locking rules
for updating fs_devices hold. For that we have uuid_mutex and
fs_devices::device_list_mutex, this is used elsewhere so fixing it using
existing mechanisms is IMHO better way than relying on subtle
undocumented semantics of the state bit.
