[PATCH] btrfs: fix inline reflink deadlock at non-zero offset
From: Guangshuo Li
Date: Wed Jun 03 2026 - 08:25:26 EST
clone_copy_inline_extent() can copy an inline extent into a page of the
destination inode before starting a transaction. If that page is beyond
EOF, writeback started by a transaction commit with flushoncommit can
invalidate the folio and block on the same extent range lock held by the
reflink task, while the reflink task waits to start a transaction.
The copy_to_page path already updates i_size after copy_inline_to_page(),
so writeback no longer treats the copied page as beyond EOF. However,
clone_copy_inline_extent() has an earlier new_key->offset > 0 path that
also calls copy_inline_to_page() and then goes to out, where it starts a
transaction. That path still leaves i_size unchanged before starting the
transaction.
Update i_size after a successful copy_inline_to_page() in the early
non-zero offset path as well, matching the existing copy_to_page path.
