Btrfs: fix race between ranged fsync and writeback of adjacent ranges

When we do a full fsync (the bit BTRFS_INODE_NEEDS_FULL_SYNC is set in the
inode) that happens to be ranged, which happens during a msync() or writes
for files opened with O_SYNC for example, we can end up with a corrupt log,
due to different file extent items representing ranges that overlap with
each other, or hit some assertion failures.

When doing a ranged fsync we only flush delalloc and wait for ordered
exents within that range. If while we are logging items from our inode
ordered extents for adjacent ranges complete, we end up in a race that can
make us insert the file extent items that overlap with others we logged
previously and the assertion failures.

For example, if tree-log.c:copy_items() receives a leaf that has the
following file extents items, all with a length of 4K and therefore there
is an implicit hole in the range 68K to 72K - 1:

  (257 EXTENT_ITEM 64K), (257 EXTENT_ITEM 72K), (257 EXTENT_ITEM 76K), ...

It copies them to the log tree. However due to the need to detect implicit
holes, it may release the path, in order to look at the previous leaf to
detect an implicit hole, and then later it will search again in the tree
for the first file extent item key, with the goal of locking again the
leaf (which might have changed due to concurrent changes to other inodes).

However when it locks again the leaf containing the first key, the key
corresponding to the extent at offset 72K may not be there anymore since
there is an ordered extent for that range that is finishing (that is,
somewhere in the middle of btrfs_finish_ordered_io()), and it just
removed the file extent item but has not yet replaced it with a new file
extent item, so the part of copy_items() that does hole detection will
decide that there is a hole in the range starting from 68K to 76K - 1,
and therefore insert a file extent item to represent that hole, having
a key offset of 68K. After that we now have a log tree with 2 different
extent items that have overlapping ranges:

 1) The file extent item copied before copy_items() released the path,
    which has a key offset of 72K and a length of 4K, representing the
    file range 72K to 76K - 1.

 2) And a file extent item representing a hole that has a key offset of
    68K and a length of 8K, representing the range 68K to 76K - 1. This
    item was inserted after releasing the path, and overlaps with the
    extent item inserted before.

The overlapping extent items can cause all sorts of unpredictable and
incorrect behaviour, either when replayed or if a fast (non full) fsync
happens later, which can trigger a BUG_ON() when calling
btrfs_set_item_key_safe() through __btrfs_drop_extents(), producing a
trace like the following:

A sample of a corrupt log tree leaf with overlapping extents I got from
running btrfs/072:

      item 14 key (295 108 200704) itemoff 2599 itemsize 53
              extent data disk bytenr 0 nr 0
              extent data offset 0 nr 458752 ram 458752
      item 15 key (295 108 659456) itemoff 2546 itemsize 53
              extent data disk bytenr 4343541760 nr 770048
              extent data offset 606208 nr 163840 ram 770048
      item 16 key (295 108 663552) itemoff 2493 itemsize 53
              extent data disk bytenr 4343541760 nr 770048
              extent data offset 610304 nr 155648 ram 770048
      item 17 key (295 108 819200) itemoff 2440 itemsize 53
              extent data disk bytenr 4334788608 nr 4096
              extent data offset 0 nr 4096 ram 4096

The file extent item at offset 659456 (item 15) ends at offset 823296
(659456 + 163840) while the next file extent item (item 16) starts at
offset 663552.

Another different problem that the race can trigger is a failure in the
assertions at tree-log.c:copy_items(), which expect that the first file
extent item key we found before releasing the path exists after we have
released path and that the last key we found before releasing the path
also exists after releasing the path:

  $ cat -n fs/btrfs/tree-log.c
  4080          if (need_find_last_extent) {
  4081                  /* btrfs_prev_leaf could return 1 without releasing the path */
  4082                  btrfs_release_path(src_path);
  4083                  ret = btrfs_search_slot(NULL, inode->root, &first_key,
  4084                                  src_path, 0, 0);
  4085                  if (ret < 0)
  4086                          return ret;
  4087                  ASSERT(ret == 0);
  (...)
  4103                  if (i >= btrfs_header_nritems(src_path->nodes[0])) {
  4104                          ret = btrfs_next_leaf(inode->root, src_path);
  4105                          if (ret < 0)
  4106                                  return ret;
  4107                          ASSERT(ret == 0);
  4108                          src = src_path->nodes[0];
  4109                          i = 0;
  4110                          need_find_last_extent = true;
  4111                  }
  (...)

The second assertion implicitly expects that the last key before the path
release still exists, because the surrounding while loop only stops after
we have found that key. When this assertion fails it produces a stack like
this:

So fix this race between a full ranged fsync and writeback of adjacent
ranges by flushing all delalloc and waiting for all ordered extents to
complete before logging the inode. This is the simplest way to solve the
problem because currently the full fsync path does not deal with ranges
at all (it assumes a full range from 0 to LLONG_MAX) and it always needs
to look at adjacent ranges for hole detection. For use cases of ranged
fsyncs this can make a few fsyncs slower but on the other hand it can
make some following fsyncs to other ranges do less work or no need to do
anything at all. A full fsync is rare anyway and happens only once after
loading/creating an inode and once after less common operations such as a
shrinking truncate.

This is an issue that exists for a long time, and was often triggered by
generic/127, because it does mmap'ed writes and msync (which triggers a
ranged fsync). Adding support for the tree checker to detect overlapping
extents (next patch in the series) and trigger a WARN() when such cases
are found, and then calling btrfs_check_leaf_full() at the end of
btrfs_insert_file_extent() made the issue much easier to detect. Running
btrfs/072 with that change to the tree checker and making fsstress open
files always with O_SYNC made it much easier to trigger the issue (as
triggering it with generic/127 is very rare).
