Hello Qu Wenruo, The patch 4c1e934ee490: "btrfs: subpage: only call btrfs_alloc_subpage() when sectorsize is smaller than PAGE_SIZE" from Aug 17, 2021, leads to the following Smatch static checker warning: fs/btrfs/subpage.c:110 btrfs_attach_subpage() warn: sleeping in atomic context
This looks like a false alert.
fs/btrfs/subpage.c
94 int btrfs_attach_subpage(const struct btrfs_fs_info *fs_info,
95 struct page *page, enum btrfs_subpage_type type)
96 {
97 struct btrfs_subpage *subpage;
98
99 /*
100 * We have cases like a dummy extent buffer page, which is not mappped
101 * and doesn't need to be locked.
102 */
103 if (page->mapping)
104 ASSERT(PageLocked(page));
105
106 /* Either not subpage, or the page already has private attached */
107 if (fs_info->sectorsize == PAGE_SIZE || PagePrivate(page))
108 return 0;
109
--> 110 subpage = btrfs_alloc_subpage(fs_info, type);Here we only alloc when sectorsize < PAGE_SIZE and the page has no private.
111 if (IS_ERR(subpage))
112 return PTR_ERR(subpage);
113
114 attach_page_private(page, subpage);
115 return 0;
116 }
The call tree is:
alloc_extent_buffer() <- disables preempt
-> attach_extent_buffer_page()
-> btrfs_attach_subpage()
fs/btrfs/extent_io.c
6132 for (i = 0; i < num_pages; i++, index++) {
6133 struct btrfs_subpage *prealloc = NULL;

The patch adds this check which means we only preallocate it when it's
small.
6152 prealloc = btrfs_alloc_subpage(fs_info, BTRFS_SUBPAGE_METADATA);
6153 if (IS_ERR(prealloc)) {
6154 ret = PTR_ERR(prealloc);
6155 unlock_page(p);
6156 put_page(p);
6157 exists = ERR_PTR(ret);
6158 goto free_eb;
6159 }
6160 }
6161
6162 spin_lock(&mapping->private_lock);
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Take a spinlock.
6163 exists = grab_extent_buffer(fs_info, p);
6164 if (exists) {
6165 spin_unlock(&mapping->private_lock);
6166 unlock_page(p);
6167 put_page(p);
6168 mark_extent_buffer_accessed(exists, p);
6169 btrfs_free_subpage(prealloc);
6170 goto free_eb;
6171 }
6172 /* Should not fail, as we have preallocated the memory */
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This comment is out of date.The comment is still correct.
6173 ret = attach_extent_buffer_page(eb, p, prealloc);
^^^^^^^^
If we don't preallocate it, then it leads to a sleeping while holding
a spinlock bug.If we don't preallocate it, we won't allocate it neither inside in btrfs_attach_subpage(). Thanks, Qu
