      btrfs: fix metadata extent leak after failure to create subvolume · 67addf29
      Filipe Manana authored
      When creating a subvolume we allocate an extent buffer for its root node
      after starting a transaction. We setup a root item for the subvolume that
      points to that extent buffer and then attempt to insert the root item into
      the root tree - however if that fails, due to ENOMEM for example, we do
      not free the extent buffer previously allocated and we do not abort the
      transaction (as at that point we did nothing that can not be undone).
      
      This means that we effectively do not return the metadata extent back to
      the free space cache/tree and we leave a delayed reference for it which
      causes a metadata extent item to be added to the extent tree, in the next
      transaction commit, without having backreferences. When this happens
      'btrfs check' reports the following:
      
        $ btrfs check /dev/sdi
        Opening filesystem to check...
        Checking filesystem on /dev/sdi

        total extent tree bytes: 16384
        btree space waste bytes: 124669
        file data blocks allocated: 65536
         referenced 65536
      
      So fix this by freeing the metadata extent if btrfs_insert_root() returns
      an error.
