Subject: [PATCH] btrfs: don't force the filesystem read-only on EDQUOT/ENOSPC verity rollback
Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2026 09:24:59 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260914062459.3889313-1-daniel@dev.linjama.com> (raw)
When enable_verity() hits the qgroup limit, rollback_verity() needs its
own metadata reservation. When the qgroup limit refuses the rollback,
the whole filesystem is forced read-only even though the qgroup limit
was for one subvolume only.
Skip btrfs_handle_fs_error() for -EDQUOT/-ENOSPC and just return the
error. The verity orphan item is left in place but the orphan cleanup
from commit 705242538ff3 ("btrfs: verity metadata orphan items") will
remove it at the next mount. fsverity enable still correctly fails but
the filesystem is not forced read-only.
Fixes: 146054090b08 ("btrfs: initial fsverity support")

Verified on a virtual machine with a mainline kernel (08df884136f1) and
a loop-mounted btrfs, with either a qgroup limit on a subvolume or a
full filesystem. On the unpatched kernel the whole filesystem was forced
read-only. On the patched kernel fsverity enable returns -EDQUOT/-ENOSPC
and the filesystem stays read-write.
