[BUG] The following script can cause unexpected fsync failure: #!/bin/bash dev=/dev/test/test mnt=/mnt/btrfs mkfs.btrfs -f $dev -b 512M > /dev/null mount $dev $mnt -o nospace_cache # Prealloc one extent xfs_io -f -c "falloc 8k 64m" $mnt/file1 # Fill the remaining data space xfs_io -f -c "pwrite 0 -b 4k 512M" $mnt/padding sync # Write into the prealloc extent xfs_io -c "pwrite 1m 16m" $mnt/file1 # Reflink then fsync, fsync would fail due to ENOSPC xfs_io -c "reflink $mnt/file1 8k 0 4k" -c "fsync" $mnt/file1 umount $dev The fsync fails with ENOSPC, and the last page of the buffered write is lost. [CAUSE] This is caused by: - Btrfs' back reference only has extent level granularity So write into shared extent must be COWed even only part of the extent is shared. So for above script we have: - fallocate Create a preallocated extent where we can do NOCOW write. - fill all the remaining data and unallocated space - buffered write into preallocated space As we have not enough space available for data and the extent is not shared (yet) we fall into NOCOW mode. - reflink Now part of the large preallocated extent is shared, later write into that extent must be COWed. - fsync triggers writeback But now the extent is shared and therefore we must fallback into COW mode, which fails with ENOSPC since there's not enough space to allocate data extents. [WORKAROUND] The workaround is to ensure any buffered write in the related extents (not just the reflink source range) get flushed before reflink/dedupe, so that NOCOW writes succeed that happened before reflinking succeed. The workaround is expensive, we could do it better by only flushing NOCOW range, but that needs extra accounting for NOCOW range. For now, fix the possible data loss first.

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 Restructured Text 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.
