[BUG] There is a bug report about bad signal timing could lead to read-only fs during balance: BTRFS info (device xvdb): balance: start -d -m -s BTRFS info (device xvdb): relocating block group 73001861120 flags metadata BTRFS info (device xvdb): found 12236 extents, stage: move data extents BTRFS info (device xvdb): relocating block group 71928119296 flags data BTRFS info (device xvdb): found 3 extents, stage: move data extents BTRFS info (device xvdb): found 3 extents, stage: update data pointers BTRFS info (device xvdb): relocating block group 60922265600 flags metadata BTRFS: error (device xvdb) in btrfs_drop_snapshot:5505: errno=-4 unknown BTRFS info (device xvdb): forced readonly BTRFS info (device xvdb): balance: ended with status: -4 [CAUSE] The direct cause is the -EINTR from the following call chain when a fatal signal is pending: relocate_block_group() |- clean_dirty_subvols() |- btrfs_drop_snapshot() |- btrfs_start_transaction() |- btrfs_delayed_refs_rsv_refill() |- btrfs_reserve_metadata_bytes() |- __reserve_metadata_bytes() |- wait_reserve_ticket() |- prepare_to_wait_event(); |- ticket->error = -EINTR; Normally this behavior is fine for most btrfs_start_transaction() callers, as they need to catch any other error, same for the signal, and exit ASAP. However for balance, especially for the clean_dirty_subvols() case, we're already doing cleanup works, getting -EINTR from btrfs_drop_snapshot() could cause a lot of unexpected problems. From the mentioned forced read-only report, to later balance error due to half dropped reloc trees. [FIX] Fix this problem by using btrfs_join_transaction() if btrfs_drop_snapshot() is called from relocation context. Since btrfs_join_transaction() won't get interrupted by signal, we can continue the cleanup.
