Qu Wenruo 9ed14c3b78 btrfs: fix error handling of submit_uncompressed_range() 
[ Upstream commit a7858d5c36 ]

[BUG]
If we failed to compress the range, or cannot reserve a large enough
data extent (e.g. too fragmented free space), we will fall back to
submit_uncompressed_range().

But inside submit_uncompressed_range(), run_delalloc_cow() can also fail
due to -ENOSPC or any other error.

In that case there are 3 bugs in the error handling:

1) Double freeing for the same ordered extent
   This can lead to crash due to ordered extent double accounting

2) Start/end writeback without updating the subpage writeback bitmap

3) Unlock the folio without clear the subpage lock bitmap

Both bugs 2) and 3) will crash the kernel if the btrfs block size is
smaller than folio size, as the next time the folio gets writeback/lock
updates, subpage will find the bitmap already have the range set,
triggering an ASSERT().

[CAUSE]
Bug 1) happens in the following call chain:

  submit_uncompressed_range()
  |- run_delalloc_cow()
  |  |- cow_file_range()
  |     |- btrfs_reserve_extent()
  |        Failed with -ENOSPC or whatever error
  |
  |- btrfs_clean_up_ordered_extents()
  |  |- btrfs_mark_ordered_io_finished()
  |     Which cleans all the ordered extents in the async_extent range.
  |
  |- btrfs_mark_ordered_io_finished()
     Which cleans the folio range.

The finished ordered extents may not be immediately removed from the
ordered io tree, as they are removed inside a work queue.

So the second btrfs_mark_ordered_io_finished() may find the finished but
not-yet-removed ordered extents, and double free them.

Furthermore, the second btrfs_mark_ordered_io_finished() is not subpage
compatible, as it uses fixed folio_pos() with PAGE_SIZE, which can cover
other ordered extents.

Bugs 2) and 3) are more straightforward, btrfs just calls folio_unlock(),
folio_start_writeback() and folio_end_writeback(), other than the helpers
which handle subpage cases.

[FIX]
For bug 1) since the first btrfs_cleanup_ordered_extents() call is
handling the whole range, we should not do the second
btrfs_mark_ordered_io_finished() call.

And for the first btrfs_cleanup_ordered_extents(), we no longer need to
pass the @locked_page parameter, as we are already in the async extent
context, thus will never rely on the error handling inside
btrfs_run_delalloc_range().

So just let the btrfs_clean_up_ordered_extents() handle every folio
equally.

For bug 2) we should not even call
folio_start_writeback()/folio_end_writeback() anymore.
As the error handling protocol, cow_file_range() should clear
dirty flag and start/finish the writeback for the whole range passed in.

For bug 3) just change the folio_unlock() to btrfs_folio_end_lock()
helper.

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
