Filipe Manana 34172f601a btrfs: send: fix invalid path for unlink operations after parent orphanization
commit d8ac76cdd1755b21e8c008c28d0b7251c0b14986 upstream.

During an incremental send operation, when processing the new references
for the current inode, we might send an unlink operation for another inode
that has a conflicting path and has more than one hard link. However this
path was computed and cached before we processed previous new references
for the current inode. We may have orphanized a directory of that path
while processing a previous new reference, in which case the path will
be invalid and cause the receiver process to fail.

The following reproducer triggers the problem and explains how/why it
happens in its comments:

  $ cat test-send-unlink.sh
  #!/bin/bash

  DEV=/dev/sdi
  MNT=/mnt/sdi

  mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV >/dev/null
  mount $DEV $MNT

  # Create our test files and directory. Inode 259 (file3) has two hard
  # links.
  touch $MNT/file1
  touch $MNT/file2
  touch $MNT/file3

  mkdir $MNT/A
  ln $MNT/file3 $MNT/A/hard_link

  # Filesystem looks like:
  #
  # .                                     (ino 256)
  # |----- file1                          (ino 257)
  # |----- file2                          (ino 258)
  # |----- file3                          (ino 259)
  # |----- A/                             (ino 260)
  #        |---- hard_link                (ino 259)
  #

  # Now create the base snapshot, which is going to be the parent snapshot
  # for a later incremental send.
  btrfs subvolume snapshot -r $MNT $MNT/snap1
  btrfs send -f /tmp/snap1.send $MNT/snap1

  # Move inode 257 into directory inode 260. This results in computing the
  # path for inode 260 as "/A" and caching it.
  mv $MNT/file1 $MNT/A/file1

  # Move inode 258 (file2) into directory inode 260, with a name of
  # "hard_link", moving first inode 259 away since it currently has that
  # location and name.
  mv $MNT/A/hard_link $MNT/tmp
  mv $MNT/file2 $MNT/A/hard_link

  # Now rename inode 260 to something else (B for example) and then create
  # a hard link for inode 258 that has the old name and location of inode
  # 260 ("/A").
  mv $MNT/A $MNT/B
  ln $MNT/B/hard_link $MNT/A

  # Filesystem now looks like:
  #
  # .                                     (ino 256)
  # |----- tmp                            (ino 259)
  # |----- file3                          (ino 259)
  # |----- B/                             (ino 260)
  # |      |---- file1                    (ino 257)
  # |      |---- hard_link                (ino 258)
  # |
  # |----- A                              (ino 258)

  # Create another snapshot of our subvolume and use it for an incremental
  # send.
  btrfs subvolume snapshot -r $MNT $MNT/snap2
  btrfs send -f /tmp/snap2.send -p $MNT/snap1 $MNT/snap2

  # Now unmount the filesystem, create a new one, mount it and try to
  # apply both send streams to recreate both snapshots.
  umount $DEV

  mkfs.btrfs -f $DEV >/dev/null

  mount $DEV $MNT

  # First add the first snapshot to the new filesystem by applying the
  # first send stream.
  btrfs receive -f /tmp/snap1.send $MNT

  # The incremental receive operation below used to fail with the
  # following error:
  #
  #    ERROR: unlink A/hard_link failed: No such file or directory
  #
  # This is because when send is processing inode 257, it generates the
  # path for inode 260 as "/A", since that inode is its parent in the send
  # snapshot, and caches that path.
  #
  # Later when processing inode 258, it first processes its new reference
  # that has the path of "/A", which results in orphanizing inode 260
  # because there is a a path collision. This results in issuing a rename
  # operation from "/A" to "/o260-6-0".
  #
  # Finally when processing the new reference "B/hard_link" for inode 258,
  # it notices that it collides with inode 259 (not yet processed, because
  # it has a higher inode number), since that inode has the name
  # "hard_link" under the directory inode 260. It also checks that inode
  # 259 has two hardlinks, so it decides to issue a unlink operation for
  # the name "hard_link" for inode 259. However the path passed to the
  # unlink operation is "/A/hard_link", which is incorrect since currently
  # "/A" does not exists, due to the orphanization of inode 260 mentioned
  # before. The path is incorrect because it was computed and cached
  # before the orphanization. This results in the receiver to fail with
  # the above error.
  btrfs receive -f /tmp/snap2.send $MNT

  umount $MNT

When running the test, it fails like this:

  $ ./test-send-unlink.sh
  Create a readonly snapshot of '/mnt/sdi' in '/mnt/sdi/snap1'
  At subvol /mnt/sdi/snap1
  Create a readonly snapshot of '/mnt/sdi' in '/mnt/sdi/snap2'
  At subvol /mnt/sdi/snap2
  At subvol snap1
  At snapshot snap2
  ERROR: unlink A/hard_link failed: No such file or directory

Fix this by recomputing a path before issuing an unlink operation when
processing the new references for the current inode if we previously
have orphanized a directory.

A test case for fstests will follow soon.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
