btrfs: immediately drop extent maps after failed COW write
If a write path in COW mode fails, either before submitting a bio for the
new extents or an actual IO error happens, we can end up allowing a fast
fsync to log file extent items that point to unwritten extents.
This is because the ordered extent completion for a failed write is
executed in a work queue. This means that once the write path unlocks the
inode, a fast fsync can come and log the extent maps created by the write
attempt before the work queue completes the ordered extent.
For example consider a direct IO write, in COW mode, that fails at
btrfs_dio_submit_io() because btrfs_extract_ordered_extent() returned an
error:
1) We call btrfs_finish_ordered_extent() with the 'uptodate' parameter
set to false, meaning an error happened;
2) That results in marking the ordered extent with the BTRFS_ORDERED_IOERR
flag;
3) btrfs_finish_ordered_extent() queues the completion of the ordered
extent - so that btrfs_finish_one_ordered() will be executed later in
a work queue. That function will drop extents maps in the range when
it's executed, since the extent maps point to unwritten locations
(signaled by the BTRFS_ORDERED_IOERR flag);
4) After calling btrfs_finish_ordered_extent() we keep going down the
write path and unlock the inode;
5) After that a fast fsync starts and locks the inode;
6) Before the work queue executes btrfs_finish_one_ordered(), the fsync
task sees the extent maps that point to the unwritten locations and
logs file extent items based on them - it does not know they are
unwritten, and the fast fsync path does not wait for ordered extents
to complete in order to reduce latency.
So to fix this make btrfs_finish_ordered_extent() drop the extent maps
in the range if an error happened for a COW write.
Note that this issues of using extent maps that point to unwritten
locations can not happen for reads, because in read paths we start by
locking the extent range and wait for any ordered extents in the range
to complete before looking for extent maps.
