btrfs: introduce tickets_id to determine whether asynchronous metadata reclaim work makes progress
In btrfs_async_reclaim_metadata_space(), we use ticket's address to determine whether asynchronous metadata reclaim work is making progress. ticket = list_first_entry(&space_info->tickets, struct reserve_ticket, list); if (last_ticket == ticket) { flush_state++; } else { last_ticket = ticket; flush_state = FLUSH_DELAYED_ITEMS_NR; if (commit_cycles) commit_cycles--; } But indeed it's wrong, we should not rely on local variable's address to do this check, because addresses may be same. In my test environment, I dd one 168MB file in a 256MB fs, found that for this file, every time wait_reserve_ticket() called, local variable ticket's address is same, For above codes, assume a previous ticket's address is addrA, last_ticket is addrA. Btrfs_async_reclaim_metadata_space() finished this ticket and wake up it, then another ticket is added, but with the same address addrA, now last_ticket will be same to current ticket, then current ticket's flush work will start from current flush_state, not initial FLUSH_DELAYED_ITEMS_NR, which may result in some enospc issues(I have seen this in my test machine).
