Btrfs: fix fs corruption on transaction abort if device supports discard
When we abort a transaction we iterate over all the ranges marked as dirty in fs_info->freed_extents[0] and fs_info->freed_extents[1], clear them from those trees, add them back (unpin) to the free space caches and, if the fs was mounted with "-o discard", perform a discard on those regions. Also, after adding the regions to the free space caches, a fitrim ioctl call can see those ranges in a block group's free space cache and perform a discard on the ranges, so the same issue can happen without "-o discard" as well. This causes corruption, affecting one or multiple btree nodes (in the worst case leaving the fs unmountable) because some of those ranges (the ones in the fs_info->pinned_extents tree) correspond to btree nodes/leafs that are referred by the last committed super block - breaking the rule that anything that was committed by a transaction is untouched until the next transaction commits successfully. I ran into this while running in a loop (for several hours) the fstest that I recently submitted: [PATCH] fstests: add btrfs test to stress chunk allocation/removal and fstrim The corruption always happened when a transaction aborted and then fsck complained like this: _check_btrfs_filesystem: filesystem on /dev/sdc is inconsistent *** fsck.btrfs output *** Check tree block failed, want=94945280, have=0 Check tree block failed, want=94945280, have=0 Check tree block failed, want=94945280, have=0 Check tree block failed, want=94945280, have=0 Check tree block failed, want=94945280, have=0 read block failed check_tree_block Couldn't open file system In this case 94945280 corresponded to the root of a tree. Using frace what I observed was the following sequence of steps happened: 1) transaction N started, fs_info->pinned_extents pointed to fs_info->freed_extents[0]; 2) node/eb 94945280 is created; 3) eb is persisted to disk; 4) transaction N commit starts, fs_info->pinned_extents now points to fs_info->freed_extents[1], and transaction N completes; 5) transaction N + 1 starts; 6) eb is COWed, and btrfs_free_tree_block() called for this eb; 7) eb range (94945280 to 94945280 + 16Kb) is added to fs_info->pinned_extents (fs_info->freed_extents[1]); 8) Something goes wrong in transaction N + 1, like hitting ENOSPC for example, and the transaction is aborted, turning the fs into readonly mode. The stack trace I got for example: [112065.253935] [<ffffffff8140c7b6>] dump_stack+0x4d/0x66 [112065.254271] [<ffffffff81042984>] warn_slowpath_common+0x7f/0x98 [112065.254567] [<ffffffffa0325990>] ? __btrfs_abort_transaction+0x50/0x10b [btrfs] [112065.261674] [<ffffffff810429e5>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x48/0x50 [112065.261922] [<ffffffffa032949e>] ? btrfs_free_path+0x26/0x29 [btrfs] [112065.262211] [<ffffffffa0325990>] __btrfs_abort_transaction+0x50/0x10b [btrfs] [112065.262545] [<ffffffffa036b1d6>] btrfs_remove_chunk+0x537/0x58b [btrfs] [112065.262771] [<ffffffffa033840f>] btrfs_delete_unused_bgs+0x1de/0x21b [btrfs] [112065.263105] [<ffffffffa0343106>] cleaner_kthread+0x100/0x12f [btrfs] (...)

Fix this by not performing a discard and not adding the ranges to the free space caches - it's useless from this point since the fs is now in readonly mode and we won't write free space caches to disk anymore (otherwise we would leak space) nor any new superblock. By not adding the ranges to the free space caches, it prevents other code paths from allocating that space and write to it as well, therefore being safer and simpler. This isn't a new problem, as it's been present since 2011 (git commit acce952b).
