Btrfs: don't miss skinny extent items on delayed ref head contention
Currently extent-tree.c:btrfs_lookup_extent_info() can miss the lookup of skinny extent items. This can happen when the execution flow is the following: * We do an extent tree lookup and fail to find a skinny extent item; * As a result, we attempt to see if a non-skinny extent item exists, either by looking at previous item in the leaf or by doing another full extent tree search; * We have a transaction and then we check for a matching delayed ref head in the transaction's delayed refs rbtree; * We find such delayed ref head and then we try to lock it with a call to mutex_trylock(); * The lock was contended so we jump to the label "again", which repeats the extent tree search but for a non-skinny extent item, because we set previously metadata variable to 0 and the search key to look for a non-skinny extent-item; * After the jump (and after releasing the transaction's delayed refs lock), a skinny extent item might have been added to the extent tree but we will miss it because metadata is set to 0 and the search key is set for a non-skinny extent-item. The fix here is to not reset metadata to 0 and to jump to the initial search key setup if the delayed ref head is contended, instead of jumping directly to the extent tree search label ("again"). This issue was found while investigating the issue reported at Bugzilla 64961. David Sterba suspected this function was missing extent items, and that this could be caused by the last change to this function, which was made in the following patch: [PATCH] Btrfs: optimize btrfs_lookup_extent_info() (commit 74be9510) But in fact this issue already existed before, because after failing to find a skinny extent item, the code set the search key for a non-skinny extent item, and on contention of a matching delayed ref head it would not search the extent tree for a skinny extent item anymore.
