There is a hung_task report regarding page lock on zoned btrfs like below.

While we debug the issue, we found running fstests generic/551 on 5GB
non-zoned null_blk device in the emulated zoned mode also had a
similar hung issue.

The hang occurs when cow_file_range() fails in the middle of
allocation. cow_file_range() called from do_allocation_zoned() can
split the give region ([start, end]) for allocation depending on
current block group usages. When btrfs can allocate bytes for one part
of the split regions but fails for the other region (e.g. because of
-ENOSPC), we return the error leaving the pages in the succeeded regions
locked. Technically, this occurs only when @unlock == 0. Otherwise, we
unlock the pages in an allocated region after creating an ordered
extent.

Theoretically, the same issue can happen on
submit_uncompressed_range(). However, I could not make it happen even
if I modified the code to go always through
submit_uncompressed_range().

Considering the callers of cow_file_range(unlock=0) won't write out
the pages, we can unlock the pages on error exit from
cow_file_range(). So, we can ensure all the pages except @locked_page
are unlocked on error case.

In summary, cow_file_range now behaves like this:

- page_started == 1 (return value)
  - All the pages are unlocked. IO is started.
- unlock == 0
  - All the pages except @locked_page are unlocked in any case
- unlock == 1
  - On success, all the pages are locked for writing out them
  - On failure, all the pages except @locked_page are unlocked
Sorry, I screwed up unlock == 0 vs unlock == 1 as Filipe is already
pointed out.

Theoretically, this can fix a potential issue in
submit_uncompressed_range(). However, I set the stable target only
related to zoned code, because I cannot make compress writes fail on
regular btrfs.

I spent a good deal of time going through this code, and it needs some cleaning
up that can be done separately from this patch.  However this patch isn't quite
right either.

For the unlock == 1 case we'll just leave the ordered extent sitting around,
never submitting it for IO.  So eventually we'll come around and do
btrfs_wait_ordered_extent() and hang.
Isn't the ordered extent handled by btrfs_cleanup_ordered_extents() in
btrfs_run_delalloc_range() (both for unlock == 0 or 1)? Or, you mean
this should be also handled in cow_file_range()?

On the submit_uncompressed_range() case (unlock == 0), we don't call
btrfs_cleanup_ordered_extents() so this part can be problem.
We need the extent_clear_unlock_delalloc() with START_WRITEBACK and
END_WRITEBACK so the ordered extent cleanup for the one we created gets run, we
just need to not do the PAGE_UNLOCK for that range.
I see. So, we need START_WRITEBACK and END_WRITEBACK both on unlock ==
0 and unlock == 1.
Also you are doing CLEAR_META_RESV here, which isn't correct because that'll be
handled at ordered extent cleanup time.  I'm sort of surprised you didn't get
leak errors with this fix.
Ah, I missed this point. Maybe because it only happens on a specific
condition (e.g, with a faulty ENOSPC for zoned code).
There's like 3 different error conditions we want to handle here, all with
subtly different error handling.

1. We didn't do anything, we can just clean everything up.  We can just do

        clear_bits = EXTENT_LOCKED | EXTENT_DELALLOC | EXTENT_DELALLOC_NEW |  
                EXTENT_DEFRAG | EXTENT_CLEAR_META_RESV;
        page_ops = PAGE_UNLOCK | PAGE_START_WRITEBACK | PAGE_END_WRITEBACK;   
        extent_clear_unlock_delalloc(inode, start, end, locked_page,
                                     clear_bits | EXTENT_CLEAR_DATA_RESV,                                  
                                     page_ops);

  This is because we need to clear the META and DATA reservations, and we need
  to unlock all pages (except lock_page) and be done.

2. start == orig_start, but we couldn't create our ordered_extent.  The above
   needs to be called on [start, start+ins.offset-1] without DATA_RESV because
   that was handled by the btrfs_reserve_extent().  Then we need to do the above
   for [start+ins.offset, end] if they aren't equal.

3. Finally your case, start != orig_start, and btrfs_reserve_extent() failed.
   In both the unlock == 1 and unlock == 0 case we have to make sure that we get
   START_WRITEBACK | END_WRITEBACK for the [orig_start, start - 1] range,
   without DATA_RESV or META_RESV as that'll be handled by the ordered extent
   cleanup.  Then we need to do the above with the range [start, end].

I'd like to see the error handling cleaned up, but at the very least your fix is
incomplete.  If you tackle the cleanup that can be separate.  Thanks,

Josef
Thank you for clarifying the cases. I'll try to clean it up.
