[PATCH 4.9 175/206] xfs: dont skip cow forks w/ delalloc blocks in cowblocks scan

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Brian Foster <bfoster@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 399372349a7f9b2d7e56e4fa4467c69822d07024 upstream.

The cowblocks background scanner currently clears the cowblocks tag
for inodes without any real allocations in the cow fork. This
excludes inodes with only delalloc blocks in the cow fork. While we
might never expect to clear delalloc blocks from the cow fork in the
background scanner, it is not necessarily correct to clear the
cowblocks tag from such inodes.

For example, if the background scanner happens to process an inode
between a buffered write and writeback, the scanner catches the
inode in a state after delalloc blocks have been allocated to the
cow fork but before the delalloc blocks have been converted to real
blocks by writeback. The background scanner then incorrectly clears
the cowblocks tag, even if part of the aforementioned delalloc
reservation will not be remapped to the data fork (i.e., extra
blocks due to the cowextsize hint). This means that any such
additional blocks in the cow fork might never be reclaimed by the
background scanner and could persist until the inode itself is
reclaimed.

To address this problem, only skip and clear inodes without any cow
fork allocations whatsoever from the background scanner. While we
generally do not want to cancel delalloc reservations from the
background scanner, the pagecache dirty check following the
cowblocks check should prevent that situation. If we do end up with
delalloc cow fork blocks without a dirty address space mapping, this
is probably an indication that something has gone wrong and the
blocks should be reclaimed, as they may never be converted to a real
allocation.
