      btrfs: allow defrag to be interruptible · b767c2fc
      Filipe Manana authored 
      During defrag, at btrfs_defrag_file(), we have this loop that iterates
over a file range in steps no larger than 256K subranges. If the range
is too long, there's no way to interrupt it. So make the loop check in
each iteration if there's signal pending, and if there is, break and
return -AGAIN to userspace.

Before kernel 5.16, we used to allow defrag to be cancelled through a
signal, but that was lost with commit 7b508037 ("btrfs: defrag:
use defrag_one_cluster() to implement btrfs_defrag_file()").

This change adds back the possibility to cancel a defrag with a signal
and keeps the same semantics, returning -EAGAIN to user space (and not
the usually more expected -EINTR).

This is also motivated by a recent bug on 5.16 where defragging a 1 byte
file resulted in iterating from file range 0 to (u64)-1, as hitting the
bug triggered a too long loop, basically requiring one to reboot the
machine, as it was not possible to cancel defrag.

Fixes: 7b508037

      btrfs: fix too long loop when defragging a 1 byte file · 6b34cd8e

When attempting to defrag a file with a single byte, we can end up in a
too long loop, which is nearly infinite because at btrfs_defrag_file()
we end up with the variable last_byte assigned with a value of
18446744073709551615 (which is (u64)-1). The problem comes from the fact
we end up doing:

    last_byte = round_up(last_byte, fs_info->sectorsize) - 1;

So if last_byte was assigned 0, which is i_size - 1, we underflow and
end up with the value 18446744073709551615.

This is trivial to reproduce and the following script triggers it:

  $ cat test.sh
  #!/bin/bash

  DEV=/dev/sdj
  MNT=/mnt/sdj

  mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV
  mount $DEV $MNT

  echo -n "X" > $MNT/foobar

  btrfs filesystem defragment $MNT/foobar

  umount $MNT

So fix this by not decrementing last_byte by 1 before doing the sector
size round up. Also, to make it easier to follow, make the round up right
after computing last_byte.
