Naohiro Aota d48e1dea39 btrfs: fix error propagation of split bios
The purpose of btrfs_bbio_propagate_error() shall be propagating an error
of split bio to its original btrfs_bio, and tell the error to the upper
layer. However, it's not working well on some cases.

* Case 1. Immediate (or quick) end_bio with an error

When btrfs sends btrfs_bio to mirrored devices, btrfs calls
btrfs_bio_end_io() when all the mirroring bios are completed. If that
btrfs_bio was split, it is from btrfs_clone_bioset and its end_io function
is btrfs_orig_write_end_io. For this case, btrfs_bbio_propagate_error()
accesses the orig_bbio's bio context to increase the error count.

That works well in most cases. However, if the end_io is called enough
fast, orig_bbio's (remaining part after split) bio context may not be
properly set at that time. Since the bio context is set when the orig_bbio
(the last btrfs_bio) is sent to devices, that might be too late for earlier
split btrfs_bio's completion.  That will result in NULL pointer
dereference.

That bug is easily reproducible by running btrfs/146 on zoned devices [1]
and it shows the following trace.

[1] You need raid-stripe-tree feature as it create "-d raid0 -m raid1" FS.

* Case 2. Earlier completion of orig_bbio for mirrored btrfs_bios

btrfs_bbio_propagate_error() assumes the end_io function for orig_bbio is
called last among split bios. In that case, btrfs_orig_write_end_io() sets
the bio->bi_status to BLK_STS_IOERR by seeing the bioc->error [2].
Otherwise, the increased orig_bio's bioc->error is not checked by anyone
and return BLK_STS_OK to the upper layer.

[2] Actually, this is not true. Because we only increases orig_bioc->errors
by max_errors, the condition "atomic_read(&bioc->error) > bioc->max_errors"
is still not met if only one split btrfs_bio fails.

* Case 3. Later completion of orig_bbio for un-mirrored btrfs_bios

In contrast to the above case, btrfs_bbio_propagate_error() is not working
well if un-mirrored orig_bbio is completed last. It sets
orig_bbio->bio.bi_status to the btrfs_bio's error. But, that is easily
over-written by orig_bbio's completion status. If the status is BLK_STS_OK,
the upper layer would not know the failure.

* Solution

Considering the above cases, we can only save the error status in the
orig_bbio (remaining part after split) itself as it is always
available. Also, the saved error status should be propagated when all the
split btrfs_bios are finished (i.e, bbio->pending_ios == 0).

This commit introduces "status" to btrfs_bbio and saves the first error of
split bios to original btrfs_bio's "status" variable. When all the split
bios are finished, the saved status is loaded into original btrfs_bio's
status.

With this commit, btrfs/146 on zoned devices does not hit the NULL pointer
dereference anymore.

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 reStructuredText 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.
