btrfs: scrub: Don't check free space before marking a block group RO
[BUG] When running btrfs/072 with only one online CPU, it has a pretty high chance to fail: btrfs/072 12s ... _check_dmesg: something found in dmesg (see xfstests-dev/results//btrfs/072.dmesg) - output mismatch (see xfstests-dev/results//btrfs/072.out.bad) --- tests/btrfs/072.out 2019-10-22 15:18:14.008965340 +0800 +++ /xfstests-dev/results//btrfs/072.out.bad 2019-11-14 15:56:45.877152240 +0800 @@ -1,2 +1,3 @@ QA output created by 072 Silence is golden +Scrub find errors in "-m dup -d single" test ...

The root cause is, we have the following bad loop of creating tons of system chunks: 1. The only SYSTEM chunk is being scrubbed It's very common to have only one SYSTEM chunk. 2. New SYSTEM bg will be allocated As btrfs_inc_block_group_ro() will check if we have enough space after marking current bg RO. If not, then allocate a new chunk. 3. New SYSTEM bg is still empty, will be reclaimed During the reclaim, we will mark it RO again. 4. That newly allocated empty SYSTEM bg get scrubbed We go back to step 2, as the bg is already mark RO but still not cleaned up yet. If the cleaner kthread doesn't get executed fast enough (e.g. only one CPU), then we will get more and more empty SYSTEM chunks, using up all the space of btrfs_super_block::sys_chunk_array. [FIX] Since scrub/dev-replace doesn't always need to allocate new extent, especially chunk tree extent, so we don't really need to do chunk pre-allocation. To break above spiral, here we introduce a new parameter to btrfs_inc_block_group(), @do_chunk_alloc, which indicates whether we need extra chunk pre-allocation. For relocation, we pass @do_chunk_alloc=true, while for scrub, we pass @do_chunk_alloc=false. This should keep unnecessary empty chunks from popping up for scrub. Also, since there are two parameters for btrfs_inc_block_group_ro(), add more comment for it.
