Subject: Btrfs: fix unexpected failure of nocow buffered writes after snapshotting when low on space

From: Robbie Ko <robbieko@synology.com>

[ Upstream commit 8ecebf4d767e2307a946c8905278d6358eda35c3 ]

Commit e9894fd3e3b3 ("Btrfs: fix snapshot vs nocow writting") forced
nocow writes to fallback to COW, during writeback, when a snapshot is
created. This resulted in writes made before creating the snapshot to
unexpectedly fail with ENOSPC during writeback when success (0) was
returned to user space through the write system call.

The steps leading to this problem are:

1. When it's not possible to allocate data space for a write, the
   buffered write path checks if a NOCOW write is possible.  If it is,
   it will not reserve space and success (0) is returned to user space.

2. Then when a snapshot is created, the root's will_be_snapshotted
   atomic is incremented and writeback is triggered for all inode's that
   belong to the root being snapshotted. Incrementing that atomic forces
   all previous writes to fallback to COW during writeback (running
   delalloc).

3. This results in the writeback for the inodes to fail and therefore
   setting the ENOSPC error in their mappings, so that a subsequent
   fsync on them will report the error to user space. So it's not a
   completely silent data loss (since fsync will report ENOSPC) but it's
   a very unexpected and undesirable behaviour, because if a clean
   shutdown/unmount of the filesystem happens without previous calls to
   fsync, it is expected to have the data present in the files after
   mounting the filesystem again.

So fix this by adding a new atomic named snapshot_force_cow to the
root structure which prevents this behaviour and works the following way:

1. It is incremented when we start to create a snapshot after triggering
   writeback and before waiting for writeback to finish.

2. This new atomic is now what is used by writeback (running delalloc)
   to decide whether we need to fallback to COW or not. Because we
   incremented this new atomic after triggering writeback in the
   snapshot creation ioctl, we ensure that all buffered writes that
   happened before snapshot creation will succeed and not fallback to
   COW (which would make them fail with ENOSPC).

3. The existing atomic, will_be_snapshotted, is kept because it is used
   to force new buffered writes, that start after we started
   snapshotting, to reserve data space even when NOCOW is possible.
   This makes these writes fail early with ENOSPC when there's no
   available space to allocate, preventing the unexpected behaviour of
   writeback later failing with ENOSPC due to a fallback to COW mode.
