Subject: [PATCH 1/5] btrfs: skip tree blocks in btrfs_get_extent_owner_root()
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2026 03:23:19 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261104102323.4090290-2-smish149@asu.edu> (raw)

[BUG]
With simple quotas enabled on a filesystem without the skinny-metadata
feature, deleting a subvolume triggers the following warning:
------------[ cut here ]------------

BTRFS error (device vda): eb 30720000 iref 0x3ee6 invalid extent
inline ref type 0
Writing to a snapshot (update_ref_for_cow()) or a metadata balance
(relocate_block_group()) trigger the same warning.
[CAUSE]
Without skinny-metadata, the extent item of a tree block is an
EXTENT_ITEM with the TREE_BLOCK flag, and a btrfs_tree_block_info sits
between the btrfs_extent_item and the first inline ref:
item 3 key (30441472 EXTENT_ITEM 16384) itemoff 16079 itemsize 51
refs 1 gen 5 flags TREE_BLOCK
tree block key (256 INODE_ITEM 0) level 0
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
(176 0x5) tree block backref root FS_TREE
But btrfs_get_extent_owner_root() always takes the first inline ref
right after the btrfs_extent_item:
ptr = (unsigned long)(ei + 1);
So for such a tree block it reads the lowest byte of the first key
objectid as the inline ref type. For the key above that byte is 0, and
btrfs_get_extent_inline_ref_type() warns. If the byte happens to be
BTRFS_EXTENT_OWNER_REF_KEY (172), the key bytes are returned as the
owner root.
The filesystem is valid. It can be reproduced with:
mkfs.btrfs -f -O ^skinny-metadata $dev
mount $dev $mnt
btrfs quota enable --simple $mnt
btrfs subvolume create $mnt/sv
btrfs subvolume delete $mnt/sv
btrfs subvolume sync $mnt
[FIX]
Owner refs are only added to data extents, never to tree blocks, so
return 0 for an extent item with the TREE_BLOCK flag before looking at
its inline refs. This covers both the EXTENT_ITEM and the METADATA_ITEM
layouts, and gives the same result as on a skinny-metadata filesystem,
where the first inline ref of a tree block is never an owner ref.
Fixes: 8d2990914073 ("btrfs: add helper for inline owner ref lookup")
