a later patch.\nThe crash is triggered with that new debug patch, and without this fix.\n\n[CAUSE]\nIn the above case, the start 16826368 is properly 8K aligned, but the\nend (16830463 + 1) is not 8K aligned.\nFurthermore the mapping's minimal folio order is 0, not the expected 1\nfor 8K block size with 4K page size.\n\nSo this means some inodes do not have btrfs_set_inode_mapping_order()\ncalled on it.\n\nThe missing btrfs_set_inode_mapping_order() call happens for cached\ninodes, through the following events:\n\n- btrfs_create_new_inode() called for inode X\n Which properly sets minimal folio order for the VFS inode.\n\n- btrfs_update_inode() called for inode X\n Which calls btrfs_delayed_update_inode() to create a delayed_node\n into root-\u003edelayed_nodes xarray.\n\n- Drop cache/memory pressure, evicting in-memory inode X\n Which evicted the inode X, but delayed_node is still in\n root-\u003edelayed_nodes for future reuse.\n\n- btrfs_iget() for inode X called again\n\n btrfs_iget()\n |- btrfs_iget_locked()\n | |- iget5_locked_rcu()\n | Which creates a new vfs_inode for btrfs, whose mapping still\n | has the minimal order as 0.\n |\n |- btrfs_read_locked_inode()\n |- btrfs_fill_inode()\n | |- btrfs_get_delayed_node()\n | Which found out the previous node, and use that delayed\n | node to initialize the new inode.\n |\n |- filled = true;\n |- if (filled) goto cache_index;\n Which skips the btrfs_update_inode_mapping_flags() and\n\tbtrfs_set_inode_mapping_order() calls.\n\tSo the inode still has minimal folio order set as 0, not\n\tthe required 1.\n\nThus later page cache read will get a folio whose size is smaller than\nblock size, as the mapping has its minimal folio order set as 0 not 1,\nthen trigger the ASSERT().\n\n[FIX]\nMove the btrfs_update_inode_mapping_flags() and\nbtrfs_set_inode_mapping_order() calls under cache_index label,\nso that the mapping flags and minimal folio order is always set\nno matter if we have a cached inode." affected:
