btrfs: send: fix send failure of a subcase of orphan inodes
Commit 9ed0a72e ("btrfs: send: fix failures when processing inodes with no links") tries to fix all incremental send cases of orphan inodes the send operation will meet. However, there's still a bug causing the corner subcase fails with a ENOENT error. Here's shortened steps of that subcase: $ btrfs subvolume create vol $ touch vol/foo $ btrfs subvolume snapshot -r vol snap1 $ btrfs subvolume snapshot -r vol snap2 # Turn the second snapshot to RW mode and delete the file while # holding an open file descriptor on it $ btrfs property set snap2 ro false $ exec 73<snap2/foo $ rm snap2/foo # Set the second snapshot back to RO mode and do an incremental send # with an unusal reverse order $ btrfs property set snap2 ro true $ btrfs send -p snap2 snap1 > /dev/null At subvol snap1 ERROR: send ioctl failed with -2: No such file or directory It's subcase 3 of BTRFS_COMPARE_TREE_CHANGED in the commit 9ed0a72e ("btrfs: send: fix failures when processing inodes with no links"). And it's not a common case. We still have not met it in the real world. Theoretically, this case can happen in a batch cascading snapshot backup. In cascading backups, the receive operation in the middle may cause orphan inodes to appear because of the open file descriptors on the snapshot files during receiving. And if we don't do the batch snapshot backups in their creation order, then we can have an inode, which is an orphan in the parent snapshot but refers to a file in the send snapshot. Since an orphan inode has no paths, the send operation will fail with a ENOENT error if it tries to generate a path for it. In that patch, this subcase will be treated as an inode with a new generation. However, when the routine tries to delete the old paths in the parent snapshot, the function process_all_refs() doesn't check whether there are paths recorded or not before it calls the function process_recorded_refs(). And the function process_recorded_refs() try to get the first path in the parent snapshot in the beginning. Since it has no paths in the parent snapshot, the send operation fails. To fix this, we can easily put a link count check to avoid entering the deletion routine like what we do a link count check to avoid creating a new one. Moreover, we can assume that the function process_all_refs() can always collect references to process because we know it has a positive link count.
