btrfs: defrag: fix deadlock between defrag and delalloc space reservation
In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: btrfs: defrag: fix deadlock between defrag and delalloc space reservation While running fsstress with autodefrag and flushoncommit, hit a deadlock due to the fact that defrag reserves delalloc space while it's holding dirty and locked folios, besides the extent range lock. The stack traces are the following: [958.624] task:kworker/u50:3 state:D stack:0 pid:20365 tgid:20365 ppid:2 task_flags:0x4208060 flags:0x00080000 [958.626] Workqueue: events_unbound btrfs_async_reclaim_metadata_space [btrfs] [958.627] Call Trace: [958.628] [958.628] __schedule+0x4be/0x10f0 [958.629] ? preempt_count_add+0x69/0xa0 [958.630] schedule+0x26/0xd0 [958.631] wait_current_trans+0x102/0x160 [btrfs] [958.632] ? __pfx_autoremove_wake_function+0x10/0x10 [958.633] start_transaction+0x374/0x900 [btrfs] [958.634] btrfs_commit_current_transaction+0x1d/0x70 [btrfs] [958.635] flush_space+0xca/0x5e0 [btrfs] [958.636] ? _raw_spin_unlock+0x15/0x30 [958.637] ? btrfs_reduce_alloc_profile+0x8c/0x190 [btrfs] [958.639] ? _raw_spin_unlock+0x15/0x30 [958.640] ? calc_available_free_space.isra.0+0x6f/0x110 [btrfs] [958.641] do_async_reclaim_metadata_space+0x84/0x190 [btrfs] [958.642] btrfs_async_reclaim_metadata_space+0x64/0x80 [btrfs] [958.644] process_one_work+0x19d/0x3a0 [958.644] worker_thread+0x1c4/0x330 [958.645] ? __pfx_worker_thread+0x10/0x10 [958.646] kthread+0xfc/0x130 [958.647] ? __pfx_kthread+0x10/0x10 [958.648] ret_from_fork+0x1f7/0x2c0 [95
