Btrfs: fix infinite path build loops in incremental send
The send operation processes inodes by their ascending number, and assumes that any rename/move operation can be successfully performed (sent to the caller) once all previous inodes (those with a smaller inode number than the one we're currently processing) were processed. This is not true when an incremental send had to process an hierarchical change between 2 snapshots where the parent-children relationship between directory inodes was reversed - that is, parents became children and children became parents. This situation made the path building code go into an infinite loop, which kept allocating more and more memory that eventually lead to a krealloc warning being displayed in dmesg: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 5705 at mm/page_alloc.c:2477 __alloc_pages_nodemask+0x365/0xad0() Modules linked in: btrfs raid6_pq xor pci_stub vboxpci(O) vboxnetadp(O) vboxnetflt(O) vboxdrv(O) snd_hda_codec_hdmi snd_hda_codec_realtek joydev radeon snd_hda_intel snd_hda_codec snd_hwdep snd_seq_midi snd_pcm psmouse i915 snd_rawmidi serio_raw snd_seq_midi_event lpc_ich snd_seq snd_timer ttm snd_seq_device rfcomm drm_kms_helper parport_pc bnep bluetooth drm ppdev snd soundcore i2c_algo_bit snd_page_alloc binfmt_misc video lp parport r8169 mii hid_generic usbhid hid CPU: 1 PID: 5705 Comm: btrfs Tainted: G O 3.13.0-rc7-fdm-btrfs-next-18+ #3 Hardware name: To Be Filled By O.E.M.

This issue is easy to trigger with the following steps: $ mkfs.btrfs -f /dev/sdb3 $ mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt/btrfs $ mkdir -p /mnt/btrfs/a/b/c/d $ mkdir /mnt/btrfs/a/b/c2 $ btrfs subvol snapshot -r /mnt/btrfs /mnt/btrfs/snap1 $ mv /mnt/btrfs/a/b/c/d /mnt/btrfs/a/b/c2/d2 $ mv /mnt/btrfs/a/b/c /mnt/btrfs/a/b/c2/d2/cc $ btrfs subvol snapshot -r /mnt/btrfs /mnt/btrfs/snap2 $ btrfs send -p /mnt/btrfs/snap1 /mnt/btrfs/snap2 > /tmp/incremental.send The structure of the filesystem when the first snapshot is taken is: . (ino 256) |-- a (ino 257) |-- b (ino 258) |-- c (ino 259) | |-- d (ino 260) | |-- c2 (ino 261) And its structure when the second snapshot is taken is: . (ino 256) |-- a (ino 257) |-- b (ino 258) |-- c2 (ino 261) |-- d2 (ino 260) |-- cc (ino 259) Before the move/rename operation is performed for the inode 259, the move/rename for inode 260 must be performed, since 259 is now a child of 260. A test case for xfstests, with a more complex scenario, will follow soon.
