commit 81e75ac74ecba929d1e922bf93f9fc467232e39f upstream. My recent patch set "A variety of lock contention fixes", found here https://lore.kernel.org/linux-btrfs/cover.1608319304.git.josef@toxicpanda.com/ (Tracked in https://github.com/btrfs/linux/issues/86) that reduce lock contention on the extent root by running delayed refs less often resulted in a regression in generic/371. This test fallocate()'s the fs until it's full, deletes all the files, and then tries to fallocate() until full again. Before these patches we would run all of the delayed refs during flushing, and then would commit the transaction because we had plenty of pinned space to recover in order to allocate. However my patches made it so we weren't running the delayed refs as aggressively, which meant that we appeared to have less pinned space when we were deciding to commit the transaction. We use the space_info->total_bytes_pinned to approximate how much space we have pinned. It's approximate because if we remove a reference to an extent we may free it, but there may be more references to it than we know of at that point, but we account it as pinned at the creation time, and then it's properly accounted when the delayed ref runs. The way we account for pinned space is if the delayed_ref_head->total_ref_mod is < 0, because that is clearly a freeing option. However there is another case, and that is where ->total_ref_mod == 0 && ->must_insert_reserved == 1. When we allocate a new extent, we have ->total_ref_mod == 1 and we have ->must_insert_reserved == 1. This is used to indicate that it is a brand new extent and will need to have its extent entry added before we modify any references on the delayed ref head. But if we subsequently remove that extent reference, our ->total_ref_mod will be 0, and that space will be pinned and freed. Accounting for this case properly allows for generic/371 to pass with my delayed refs patches applied. It's important to note that this problem exists without the referenced patches, it just was uncovered by them.

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.
